You're always at war with everyone. Occaisionally the AI sends a message saying they "declare war" on you, but that usually just means they'll start actively attacking you, and the AI can certainly attack without doing that first.

Here's a "noob's request list" (please excuse me if some of this stuff is already in 2.08 but I missed it because I'm too much of a noob):

- strategic map icons for labs, magic sites, and hidden leaders.

- additional strategic map overlays to show: PD setting, magic site search levels (i.e. show these on the map simultaneously for all relevent provinces). I know that the nation overview (F1) shows these however I think it is very useful to see these in a spatial representation.

- battle screen - mouse-over names of spells cast gives detailed description of what spells do (right now I am using the on-line Grimoire and then looking up the spell in the manual, only to find that the manual has a very vague description of spell effects in many cases)

- battle screen - somehow indicate squad-level morale loss

- army-setup screen - list all spells castable by any mage, as well as list detailed spell descriptions. Icing on the cake would be to control which spells can be cast by your mages.

- message summary - I would like to be able to cancel the little mini-map window that you see after selecting "view battle" and return to the message list. Why? I prefer to find out battle results by watching the battle replays first before going to the strategic map - I find it more suspensful this way.

- Messages - I am pretty sure that when I assign a mage to search for magic sites in a province and the message window indicates "no sites were found" that sites sometimes DO appear in that province. Perhaps it was a site with zero path requirements. There should be a message for this case.

- Start a new game or load an existing game without exiting and restarting Dominions!!

- After creating a new god have option to go immediately to create new game, start with pick map (i.e. to see recommended # of nations, and THEN go to pick nations screen with the god you just created PRESELECTED as HUMAN.

- Message when an already preaching holy unit no longer has an effect.

Wow - what a great amount of suggestions. If anyone is willing/able to distil the suggestions down to succinct bullet points I will steal them and put them in the big wishlist thread (which hasn't been updated for a while).

BTW If anyone's interested in checking out that huge list of suggested changes I mentioned click here [you'll have to go to the third page to get the actual list]

*N.B. - not trying to take over this thread or anything - keep the suggestions coming *

You can do this: Hit "End Turn" and then "Exit" instead of "Hosting". Brings you back to the main menu...

...although I admit that I only write this here since I am so happy that I finally found that one out. I was really annoyed by all those restarts...
