2. An option to turn off the "zoom into the province" animation before a battle.

You can click "ok" as soon as it starts to go to the battle view immediately.

Ah, sorry - I should have been more clear. I want an option to turn it off entirely - just like the "no fade" option in Dominions 1.

Unarmored mages and priests should never rush out to engage in melee, even when there are no appropriate spells, unless specifically scripted to attack. Currently, they rush to the front lines.

9. A key to select the next commander in the currently selecty province. If the commander is part of an army-group, select the whole army-group.

10. A key to select the next province bordering to the start province (the province you had selected when you first started pressing this hot-key.) So, if you have a province Centre and you press this key, you'd select province North. Press it again and you'll select East, then South and finally province West.

A couple of non-gui issues.

1. The battle report ought to also include the number of "province defense soldiers" that were killed. (Just a very minor annoyance this, but it always did bug me in Dominions 1 too.)

various things snipped

#9 - I believe you can do this currently, if I'm understanding what you mean

#10 - I can't quite fathom this, but I'll add it

#1 non-UI - You should try to get some discussion going on this one - maybe start another topic? I suspect this may not be a popular feature.

Having said all that, this is an impartial list, and so I will add all this stuff. Thanks for posting.

This has got to be a bug, don't you think? If it is it'll come under the general heading of "bug fixes" in #4 and you should post it in the "list game bugs here" thread. If it's not a bug I can add it.

Well, if so I haven't figured out how. The only keys that seems to have anything to do with selecting commanders is "n" for the next commander without orders, "a" for select/deselect all commanders, "return" to deselect all commanders (seems a bit useless since one or two presses of "a" will do the same) and + and - which "scrolls commanders" but doesn't seem to do anything for me.

#10 - I can't quite fathom this, but I'll add it

Well, suppose you have a map with only 9 provinces, #1 through 9, arranged in a square pattern as shown below, where the middle province 5 borders all the other provinces.

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Select province number 5. Press the magic key (say ":") once, and you'll select one of the provinces bordering 5 - let's say we start with the northernmost province, so one press of ":" will select province 2. As long as we don't press anything else but ":" the "central province" for the selection won't change, and each press of ":" will select the another border-province of 5, with the clock.

So, press ":" once and we'll select province 2. Press ":" again and we'll select province 3, and another press brings us to province 6. Now, we press "t" here to look at the forces we've got in province 6, so the "central province" now changes from province 5 to province 6. When we now press ":" again, we'll go to province 3 (due north of province 6), and another press of ":" will take us to province 9 (the next province that borders province 6) and so on.

It's basically a "I've now got this province selected, and I want to select _that_ province, but I don't want to move my hand over to the mouse to do so."

Leif - I must not have understood what you were getting at with #9 - could you explain it more fully.

I summarized a couple of your points (including #10) as: "Way to select provinces using keyboard (e.g. entering province #, key to cycle through provinces, etc.)" - is that ok?
