These are all suggestions that should be worked on now... if not sooner.

Some of these could be added quickly... others may take months of progamming before seeing a patch. I believe all would make the game better.

You could have all the gods you want allready, you just have to manually do it. It worked in Dom1 at least and I see no reason it wouldn't in two...

Also later in the game you can use wish, and gift of reason to start pumping out your own minigods.

I think that there are a lot of other items to be looked at befre these.

Other than the one AI suggestion (AI personalities) I would rather see Illwinter work on what THEY think is most important.

The only one suggestion that isn't a significant change to the gameplay (and one geared toward making the game more "RPGish") is the one about battle details, which I picked. The others, IMHO, don't have much to do here; they would turn DomII away from its strategy focus.

One of these suggestions is partially already in the game. A spell (or perhaps a few spells) allows you to promote a regular unit into a Commander. (Gift of Reason, level 4 Thaumaturgy, needs 4 in Nature)

I would be reluctant to call some of the other changes "improvements", as they could lead to many problems on their own. (I am especially thinking of the several Gods suggestion among others)

bumping topic

perhaps the developers could give feedback on what features appear to be good ideas for future patches... or expansions.

I second this.
Most suggestions would turn DOM into a completly different game.
