Patch Feature Sugestion: Better Battle Summary

[Sir_Dr_D]

This feature would be nice. I would like to know if losses in a battle report are elite troops or militia. But this has been a feature that has been asked for a while. It does not seem to be high on Illwinters priority list.

I would really just like to see a screen with each exact troop lost, including any gear or equipment they might have had for when you lose a thug or SC. All you'd have to do is use the troop's unique ID number, and display them in an army setup style screen with a different row for each troop type.

I'm sure they've been asked about this one a lot.

At the very least, castle storming should generate a battle report.

We have

Big changes to this are not likely. Perhaps categories like demons, but not by unit type.

If a list of all units was made it could become very long. In my current MP game i have armies with dozens or several dozens of different units, many in singular since their fellows has died (firedrakes I no longer sumnmon etc). If all of these were listed I think I would only find it annoying. But that's me.

Fortress casualties is a bit more likely, but lower than bugs and mod commands on the priority list. Since it is something that has been whacky and complained about since dom2, it is unlikely that JK feels anything but angst when pepole talk about it . Heck, even I get angst about it, and I don't program. Best way to cure angst is doing something more fun, like adding a new feature.

[BesucherXia]

How about listing out sacred units casualties out of normal ones? (seperated lists for scared commander/demon/magic beings are not necessarily needed)

That also makes much sense since those guys are elites and decisive in most cases.

[Juzza]

I think the units thing is a little much toa sk for and I also agree that it'd be annoying. I mean imagine poor Ermor counting up their loses. However, Castles and Demons!!! please!!!

How is this for a more fun suggestion:

Could spells affect province type? For example, a nature spell could make wasteland not wasteland, or create a forest. An earth spell could make mountains. A death spell could make wasteland... A water spell could make water? dont know about that one. (but in age of wonders, the game whose forums I heard about this game, there is a flood spell - still, i dont knwo if that would work here.

One problem with this (in my mind) would be that the map would not change appearance, which could be misleading. But changes the terrain flags seems doable, no?
