Default Re: Future Patches of Dominions_3

> 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?

It is unlikely thet we do more than a few bug fixes if we just fix bugs. If we, on the other hand, add new stuff, we tend to test things and work on the game a lot more, since that is fun. We then test more and encounters bugs and fix them. That means you will probably get twice as many bug fixes when we add stuff as when we just fix bugs. So bugfixing leads to less bugfixes and less content, while content leads to more content and bugfixes.

Having us play the game is probably the best way to get all of the above

Make JK play a mod game with skaven. He likes Warhammer and likes adding mod commands. If the skaven neds a particular mod command to get a fun feature he is more likely to add it. If there is a modding bug that makes the skaven not work, he is more likely to fix that.

In short: suggestions for fun stuff that is currently affected by bugs will give you more bugfixes than complaints regarding existing bugs. It might still be useful to have bugs reported though
