Anti-Wishlist

Wait... you DON'T want these?

I'm sure a tutorial would be a lot of help for newbies. And randomize opponents would be good for quick games or people who don't have an enemy of choice (personally, though, I like to trounce Arcosephale) And reversing the order of the postings would help someone new to this forum.

On the other hand, I agree with you on the Battle Simulator and multiple game saves. Imagine simulating every battle before you fight and seeing the results before actually taking the field. Or being able to redo every bad decision you make.

1) A button to make screen shots, or screen saves.

11) play over a lan with one CD.

13) random opponents.

18) support chat area.

While i agree with most of your cuts i think those above are almost essentiall to me, in addition they shouldnt be THAT hard to implent, especially 11) is really important for me to play over big lan events.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough. Everything on the list is a good idea to someone and I wouldnt argue that. But they are already done. Its available. Its just not a button from inside the game. Its something the Users themselves have already taken care of so why slow up the devs with it.

LATER if they feel like doing any of those or improving what we have then thats fine. I just dont see "making something easier" as being on the list equal with other things.

I think it is a really great idea to prioritize player requested features, which seems to be the intent here.

However, I don't know that a partially implemented Version of something that is very important...should necessarily be lower priority than something completely new but more peripheral.

This is just me, personally, but I would rather see a list of requests and then try and prioritize them in some way, noting which ones are partially implemented already through player mods, if that makes any sense.

16) a game-finder player-matchup site.

Would this be the same as a dedicated site that acts as a 24/7 server for running games (similar to what Mosehansen is doing)?

If you are saying that that should be OFF the wishlist for a game billed as "multiplayer friendly," I would have to disagree.

While the ability for players to host games on machines they are willing to run 24/7 has a certain DIY appeal, there really ought to be an Illwinter/Shrapnel/3rd-party-contractor site to host and run games.

Mosehansen could close up shop anytime he wants too after, all.

This is the second time I've read about random maps. I looked using the search function and only found more references to them. Am I being blind? Would someone point me in the right direction please?

Gandalf Parker was nice enough to set up this site:
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion/Dominions2/

There is some information in the readme.txt file on how to use them.
