Sad but I tend to agree with you.

+ IW: They are interacting with their fans
- IW: They won't listen, if they don't like something.

Actually I am intrigued by SP diplomacy, but I'm not sure that we can do it in a satisfying way.

And yes, we do listen, but we do not always act on what we hear.

We must be very patient. IW is propably working very hard on the mod tools, and on the first patch right now.

ahah, you are lured you too, as all of us. The 3 of IW are in the Bahamas right now. The replies you get from them in the forum are made by the dom AI on impossible.

Yes you can. Don't drop this idea.

For a full menu Version I can see a long wait. How about some small steps?

Can I get added a friendship boost with an AI by giving it gifts? I understand the problems with magic items but I dont think gold/gems can be abused so maybe they could count for more. Not sure what forumula the AI works with for deciding to attack me or not but if there is a variable there which represents MY race then maybe some pluses wont mess things up much.

Always.

I hope that the strategic AI & Diplomacy are the first things on your list Kris.

Apart from moddability, quicker battle replays, better demo SP UI, other colours in unit display, bug fixes, castle battle results and balance changes that limits the impact of supercombatants?

Actually there are lots of things that people want. I barely remember half of them anymore. Most urgent will be dealt with first (suspected bugs).

It might be a good idea if someone summed up problems and issues (without judging what is important and not - we do not want personal opinions on MP/SP focus or whether diplomacy or modding is most important - that is for the forum discussions).

Your wish is my command. Here's a trial list of things that have been mentioned (in no particular order):

• strategic AI
• SP diplomacy
• increased battle replay functionality (various speeds, etc.)
• castle battle results
• more than one god for each nation
• darker colours/textures in unit displays
• newbie demo 'get started' stuff
• bug fixes
• moddability
• alignment of stats in unit info screens

anything I'm missing?

thought: we should probably make this its own thread...

[MStavros]

Hehe. It is always good, if you have to do something.

Anyways, I guess the most important things are: fixing bugs, upgrading the strategic AI, mod tools and diplomacy.
