nice that you can see what gems the commander is carrying just by looking at the front of the unit... hopefully this includes magic items - no more endless searching for that missing hammer, I'm guessing
This looks like a very important improvement to me - just yesterday I've found the hammer lost couple of years ago

More important than the province limit is though the unit limit, may i ask how large it is in Dominions 3?
Imho the unit limit was the biggest flaw of both former Dominions. If you tell me that Dominions 3 has a unit limit of 1 million units or even higher i am happy and will buy Dominions 3 immediately when it gets released .
Unit limit on main map or unit limit on battlefield?

He's talking about the unit limit in the game, period. On huge maps like Faerun, especially with themes with auto-spawns, a limit is exceeded around mid-game - all of a sudden, scouting starts to work very erratically, you can't even always see the troops in a province neighboring your own.

At some point I understand the game can also crash, but haven't seen that - the invisible troop side effect has been bad enough for me to avoid large maps since knowing of it. ( As if the micro-management and 3 hour turns weren't bad enough )

Isn't all that nice ?
Very nice! Thanks PDF.

The thing I find most important are the reasons the devs contd. to work on Dom, those reasons (the fun factor and the supportive feedback from fans) make it less likely that they will drop Dom.
I find Dom to be *the* best strategic game and I hope it will retain its uniqueness. Here is to the longevity of Dom

Ha! " Bandar means 'monkey' and log means 'people'" indeed! There's a divination for you!

The screenshots with monkeys were titled bandar_1 etc.
