Default Re: Wishlish! (For the next patch)

I would like to see alternate nation/neutral flag graphics. Maybe a blue glow added. Then, I want to see these flags displayed on the overland map for every province in which I have a commander (hidden or not).


(Edited to change 'unit' to 'commander', I can see units well enough)

Seconded. RT-clicking a province to find out if I have a stealthed unit there is not annoying, but RT-clicking six or seven in a row, is.

Also Seconded, the request for a 'Lab' map icon.

Here, make them both classy: Take your existing flagpoles, and lean a sword against the left side if I have a stealthed unit in the province, and lean a staff against the right side if I know there's a lab in the province.

(losing control here...)

And give me a clipboard (or scroll and quill) at the base if I'm recruiting units there. Fill it with 'text' if I've used all the local resources.

And I want a SEx-y 'minister' to adjust tax rates down from 100% by one step for every y points of unrest. Here's class: Make me designate who's doing the Minister job, like a Prophet gets designated, and let him do better or worse or whatever, based on his... research ability?

"Your Prime Minister has been seduced by a Succubus, and (set all rates to 0 Last year/absconded with a % of your taxes/given a % of your taxes to the succubus...)"

On the messed up grahpics when using alt-tab...
Dont left-click to get back. Do a right-click and choose "restore" from the menu that pops up. I havent had any problems since I got used to doing that.

I'm sure I am breaking like 20 internet laws by bumping an old thread but here goes...

One suggestion.

1) When setting the Spell Script for a commander, have a window or box at the top of the screen listing what you have in the script so far....short term memory loss is danm hard to cope with in a strategy game.

But otherwise absolutely loving this game and clicking "Host" in my dreams...

For spell casters, under the 'cast specific spell' combat script choice, place a box next to each spell that you can check/uncheck to assign the repetoire (sp) of spells your mage may cast.

Replace the 'hold and attack' command with 'hold and attack in X rounds'. Place an up and down arrow above/below the number so that you can adjust it.

in the preferences menu allow the abilty to have a tone(s) played when every person in a network game has played their turn.

Definately a map mod utility...that would be special

Make 'blood hunt' a one turn only action.

that's all i can think of atm

In order to be better than using a paint program and the included map editor the map utility would have to have nearly as much work as a full featured paint editor. That's not really feasible.

Why on earth would you want this? You certainly don't want to have to go through 20-40 scouts every turn and reassign blood hunt orders to them.

perhaps its because i haven't played a deep game, but i sometimes forget about it and have had the unrest get out of hand.
