Impartial MASTER LIST of issues/problems

[Truper]

Thanks to St. Patrick for this thread. A very good idea indeed - well done.

Currently, a lot of people argue or complain about the gold economy in Dominions 2, as well as the viability of light versus heavy units.

My suggestion:

For the game setup screen, take out "World Richness", and put in "Gold Richness" and "Resource Richness" as independant settings. Instead of 3 settings - low (50%), normal (100%), and high (200%) - give each 20 settings: 10% through 200%, in 10% increments.

Master List bullets:

* Add separate gold richness and resource richness settings for new games
* Allow finer adjustment of map richness levels, in 10% increments

10% increments are a bit much. How about these increments?

Very Low (50%)
Low (75%)
Normal (100%)
High (150%)
Very High (200%)

If it makes it in at all, I'll be happy. Smaller increments are just icing

Currently, you can tell a mage to "cast monthly ritual" with shift-m, but there is no way to select that in the orders list. I didn't realize it was possible until I saw the tip between turns.

So:

* Add "Cast Monthly Ritual" to commander orders list

It's really annoying when your mage runs out of scripted spells and does dumb things like cast "Charge Body" (happens to me a lot, even when they are not elec-immune).

So, in addition to the "Cast spells" order, how about three more options:

"Cast Support Spells" - e.g. fanaticsm, stoneskin, regeneration, heal, aim, wards
"Cast Summon Spells" - e.g. phantasmal warrior, elementals
"Cast Attack Spells" - e.g. fireflies, blade wind, geyser

I assume that any battlefield spells you'd want to script

That way your battle mage won't goof off. Ideally, you won't even have to script him anymore.

Bullet:

* Add tactical "Cast Support Spells", "Cast Summon Spells", and "Cast Attack Spells" commands

More of a question than an issue:
If an Astral mage runs out of script, will he go on self-boost frenzy a la Dom I? I can swear i have lost countless of batless in Dom I because of the spell AI casting (unneeded) Twist Fate, Astral Shield and Body Ethereal instead of Star Fires, Soul Slay or Stellar Cascades.
