MASTER LIST poll

I think bug fixes should have been a separate Category.

Obviously some bugs are also balance problems (the Crystal Heart bug, Abysian 2-H weapons with shields), but most balance problems aren't bugs.

Also, the poll doesn't include the recent suggestions on new ways of handling light troops. (Yes, I want it to be bigger!)

You're probably right about bug fixes - I just wasn't sure where else to put them. I guess I put them in balance considerations because an imbalance is a little bit like a bug.

Also, about the light troops stuff - I really wasn't following that discussion. I wish someone had posted some of those on the MASTER LIST thread before I made the poll.

BTW even now it might be good to post them there, just to have all suggestions in the same place. If there were a flood of new suggestions it might be appropriate to make a second poll, combining the results of the first with the new stuff.

I think it's a great idea to make all 21 choices available for voting. This way you can get the actual preference across the population, without artificially restricting the votes. If you don't vote for something, that means that you really don't care, and not that it's just a bit less important than the choice answer. Hence, it provides a very clear picture of priorities.

Some pretty interesting results:

Most popular tweak: "soldiers on 'guard commander' fire missile weapons if enemies are within range"

Most popular small feature to add: "battle results when storming a castle"

Check out the poll, make your voice be heard

Hehe...and guess what, most popular in the 'balance Category' : Improve strategical AI. What a surprise.

My most desired feature isn't on the list: make the tactical AI much better at avoiding accidentally shooting own units.

Nice poll, though.

PvK you've forgot about your loved realism.
Just think.......200 heavy infantry on the frontline.....you are giving an order for the archers to fire on sight..the enemy is closing in...the archers still have the order to fire on sight..they cannot shoot at the enemy only, if the armies are so close to eachother..there will be friendly casualties for sure...

You know I tell you what......the best would be, if we could change the orders while the battle is going....but than the battles would be in 'real time'...IE. not replay

I'm not forgetting realism. Real archers would only fire at enemy formations, and not right into the battle line. Without a clear enemy target, they wouldn't just pepper the whole melee with arrows!
