If it were called something like wish list or somehow alittle more requesting then it might pinned to the top. The way it is now it seems to keep rolling to the bottom

One more word on mercs in addition to Saber's comments - it would be really useful if, as in Dom1, you got to see what *kind* of troops the merc captain has with him. I remember most of the old ones from Dom1, so for those its not a problem for me - but there are some new ones, and I'd like to know what kind of troops I'm bidding on, in addition to how many.

I imagine this one has been said many times, if so I'll repeat:

Please put a speed control on the battle replays so we do not have to watch 10 archer volleys in slow motion missing routing troops after the battle is already over.

You can quit the battle using the "Q" key.

But I would like a speedup because Im usually interested in the end of the battle. Who specifically was left, how much were they damaged, did they use all their gems. Its important info for whether or not I want to attack them again with whatever army I have left.

When magical sites are found with "Strands of Arcane Power", it would be decent if the relevant provinces were listed/linked in the message.

When scrolling the spell list, it would be nice if the gem counts didn't scroll as well.

Troops with missile weapons should fire while on the hold part of hold and attack and especially when on Guard Commander as this is about the only way to get subtle using multi-armed LC/HC.

Tien Chi Barbarian Kings theme needs at least +2 precision for the cavalry to reflect the superior archery of the steppe nomads who have counquered Tien Chi. Barbarian Kings is very hard to play and some thematically appropriate improvements are called for.

Tien Chi Spring and Autumn could really do with a new unit - non-commander noble chariots with a limit (say 1 a turn) on how many you can build in a castle. Adding in the chariots is so tantalising and current Spring and Autumn Chinese ancient army lists allow more than just general chariots. This would be a nice addition to another hard to us theme.

Cheers

Keir
