Wish List

[tinkthank]

Is there any reason why TWO "wish list" threads are up and running? COnfused where to post and read. Can we merge them?

It already is (and has always been).

Valid point.

> Even more ideally there could be an upkeep "page" where costs are shown:

> 123 longbowmen@12gp ---> 1476/15 upkeep= ~98gp

> This would add the possibility of other kinds of upkeep than gold...particularly powerful summons costing gems/slaves to maintain, for example.

This possibility is not dependent on an "upkeep page". It is dependent on us adding stats and costs and implementation of gem upkeep. It has been given some thoughts, but no desicions has been made. We didn't want it when we first made the game. I'm not entirely sure why, but I believe we had some good reasons. One I do remember was that we wanted a distinction in the nature of summoned and recruited units. The current system makes for more summons in the late game.

*ahem*

*Bodyguards ignored when determining whether all regular troops have routed

*Commanders only rout when "all regular troops have been routed" if their side had regular troops on the battlefield to begin with.

Cumbersome phrasing, but what can ya do?

IIRC bodyguards are ignored

It's probably because I've been so lax about keeping this one current. Apologies. I don't mind what happens with the lists - no rivalry here, just trying to provide a helpful resource.

Why should you apologize for being helpful? It's the other fellow, who began a similar thread without first doing a topic search (which would have discovered this thread), that's confused Tinkthank ...

Wuzza? But how come...? I mean, in my game, I thought...

Everything's shifting ...

If it turns out I was non-pharmacologically stoned off my flaw-finding *** when I lost those Seraphines, methinks I shall be sorely disappointed.

On top of that, my viceroy thread's swiftly becoming a general-purpose micromanagement wishlist. Oh, the humanity, the roiling, bubbly humanity.
