Control of your Pretender in battle

[Oblivious]

Hello! I am new to Dominions (dl'd the demo, ordered the full version). While I like the limited control you have over an army in the game (issuing orders before battle), I wondered if an *option* could be added to allow players to control their pretender (and only their pretender) directly during battles. This would work such that a battle would pause when a Pretender's turn came up (only when the option had been selected for the given game), and the player would have the option of issuing any of the normal orders for his pretender (i.e. cast specific spell on specific target, attack nearest, etc).

While this would slow turns down and require pauses in the battle outcome generation, it would allow players an option to control their pretender (which represents them in the game) when willing to take the extra time out for this. Players might only choose this in single player mode or when just a couple of close friends are enjoying a long, slow game together.

Anyway just an idea, not sure if it might actually be possible as a patch for this version, but it might appeal to those who would like just a little more control over their pretender in battles. Players who did not like it could turn it off.
