Yet another request:

Indicate which commanders in the Hall of Fame are mercs (via a small icon, or different colored name).

Feature Request (my first):

Allow a new order for stealthy armies which are hiding in a friendly province. The new order is called "Ambush". The effect is that when an invading army moves into the province, the hiding army automatically de-stealths and attacks. Brilliant.

This is actually a good idea. I've been trying to come up for defensive stealth ways. Just change the "Defend" Command to Ambush on stealth units and allow them to hide while set to "Ambush" so enemy scouts are unable to see them.

I believe it's been mentioned before, but I'd like to reiterate that we need some sort of "dimiss" functionality usable from the window used to examine a unit. All too often you will end up with straggler units that are too weak, left way behind your commanders, that aren't worth going to reclaim (even if just for cannon-fodder). So these units just sit all over the place consuming gold and/or food while you pray that something will come along and kill them for you. PLEASE?

I had a look at Targa's "savegod" utility (on the Illwinter site), and wondered if it would be of use to me (I use Linux, but doing something similar for Linux would be easy)... and decided that, as it is, it wouldn't.

What is missing is, very simply, a "pretender browser". Even some simple program that reads a pretender file and outputs a stats list would be enough - since the files are not human-readable, that would have to be provided by Illwinter.
