#restricted as bitmask - think about it!
So, here is my biggest official patch request - conversion of #restrictedgod in pretender/newmonster and #restricted in newspell mods to a bitmask rather than a lookup table.
Think about it - it's really the only mod command that applies to a fixed set of numbers (the nations), and if you want to create a monster or spell available to more than one, but not all nations, you have to completely duplicate that spell/monster (since #copystating has proved buggy when used in my pretender mods for this purpose).
I realize it might be a LARGE bitmask (with up to 94 nations), but I think it makes sense. Here is the bitmask for 2^94= 198070406285661000000000000003
And yeah, I know such a patch would break a lot of mods out there, but I don't think it would be a hard mod fix.
Thoughts?
