I'd say fixing but is the most important, and the other things should be considered eyual.

Yea bugs first. Its the least fun thing to fix for the devs but it is the best thing for the game.

I would've liked to choose three:

a) New Events, because the more events there are the more interesting Luck and Misfortune become, and in the latter case, "interesting" doesn't have to equal "good"...
b) new heroes and national spells, because all nations don't have heroes yet
c) new modding commands, because I like modding

This is also my personal order of importance. I didn't vote for modding commands, because I trust that Illwinter staff does better-quality stuff than most modders.

I voted for 'On balancing existing spells, items, nations'

I woul like all the spells, units, and bless to be more balanced so there is more strategic options available, before new content starts getting added.

removing micromanagement

Me and a friend play some big MP games and after awhile most of my time is spent tracking down leaders and armies to move to the front and foraging 20bajillion items every turn that i so wish could be put on auto forge .

A que or repeat recruit commander option would also be helpfull

I went for fixing bugs (how can anyone not take this as a pick?) and more modding commands. Not because I think more modding commands is what the game needs, simply because I'm a modder and I'm selfish.

i didn't mention fixing bugs because that one is so obvious, but that is the the other option that I selected. i see it in going hand in hand with balancing the game.

I went for fixing bugs and new nations. Bugs need to be stamped out, and I can never have enough nations to choose from.

Thats rather a misleading statement isnt it?

It also seems worthless to have things like "fix bugs" on the same choice list as "add new nations" since they are not mutually exclusive. What good is it to choose one over the other when its different people doing them?
