What I'm hoping to see in the patch:

The mod tools!!

Faster battle replay speed.

Missile armed troops being able to shoot while on the hold part of hold and attack orders.

Of course there are more things but this is what I really want.

Cheers

Keir

I want to give strenght to others petitions, so mine will be a mix of before stated:


• Modding tools
- For units,items,spells, events,sites,....
• End/quit/save/host button remake [so that 'end turn' takes you directly to next turn]
• Line between commanders and regular units in recruitment screen
• IA more accurate (building forts, national units, friendly archers,...)
• More details on exactly what different effects mean (e.g. exact benefits of mountain/forest/swamp survival, etc.)
• Battle results (i.e. list of casualties) when storming a Castle
• Ability to rename commanders, or at least add epithets
• Ability to close screens without having to scroll down or press ESC (e.g. Windows-style [x] or 'Exit' button below instead of at the end of scroll-lists)
• Detailed lists of losses (most importantly commanders)
• Build queue doesn't charge you for units which won't be built that turn
• Increased battle replay functionality (various speeds, etc.)
• Triggered events in scenario making
• Possibility to use the same nation many times in the same game (like 3 Ulm players)
• Enabling/disabling spells [being able to indicate which spells your mage should pick from]


Happy Christmas Illwinter and Dominions gamers

(not a serious post)

Not pointing the finger at anyone in this thread (actually there are other threads that bring it more to my mind) but have you ever noticed that the kids that have been really really good are somehow always shown as having short lists for Santa? And the ones most likely to get coal have a list that goes to the floor?

Like I said, not this thread. The thought that started it here was maybe posting a comment to Univac saying "Wow, you must have been really good this year" since I havent seen enough of his Posts to comment.

By the way...do you have kids?? Your statement the kids that have been really really good are somehow always shown as having short lists for Santa is not exactly true

Kids with short lists? I never knew there was a way to define that, or in fact good or bad. I guess I have never compared someones list length to their perceived behavior.

Least of all if I was doing it when at the same time saying "I have the short list".

Maybe someone needs a hug

Well no. Not really. Not anymore. Mine are in their 20's. But you might notice I said they are always SHOWN as having short lists. Such as on TV. The good kids say one toy, and the bad kids have a list. I knew it was a false stereotype
