Feature Request

Another (set of) feature request(s).

Modabble pop growth. a slider for zero to 10x current value, or an option for base growth/turn+ (n)x would be lovely.

Would like to be able to choose pretender God's gender (at least for title purposes)

Also consider putting a regenerate title button on the magic/dominion bar during god creation so that one doesn't have to remake the same pretender a billion times to get a decent set of honorifics for MP.

Love this game. Makes MoM look like placeboville.

P.S. You mightput up a paypal link on your site so people overwhelmed with gratitude can send you extra money to speed development....

More Requests

1. Map filter to show scouts/spys, they don't show up under armies. I like to use scouts/spys to check out enemy rear areas, and it easy to lose track where they are. Stats for provices, tells where they are but, doesn't show you.

2. Some objects seem to be for male/female only, if thats true then please display the sex M/F for the commanders.

Thanks

You can use the "N" key to cycle through your armies...i find a "forgotten" scout that way from time to time

The trick I use for looking for lost scouts and mages wandering around doing searches is F1. You can scroll down the list looking for people who are hiding, which is a good sign they are not doing anything constructive.

I do agree, a save game feature, in game, would be nice. Copying the save game folder and saving it in another directory works, but it could be smoother. As Lord Hammer points out, losing many hours is rough.

You can create a quickie to make backups. In Windows for example it would be a .bat file. That way you can alt-esc and click it to copy your game to a backup directory. I think someone whipped all that up and made it downloadable for Dom1. Should work just the same for Dom2.

In fact, now that I think of it, you could set it up so that the icon for Dom2 makes a backup whenever you go into the game. Or on the way out. That wouldnt do it between each turn but it would....

OK wait. There is a --postexec switch. So actually you could set the game to make a backup every turn. Someone would have to test that. I thought the -q switch on the command line would skip the host button but it didnt (too bad, that would have been the easiest).

Actually Im not as interested in who has declared war on me as I am in who has declared war on someone else. They announce globally who their prophet is (which sometimes I wish didnt happen since it can give away my theme too early) but they dont worldwide announce their war declarations. In both MP and Solo play it would be very useful to see who is fighting who but I guess thats what scouts are for.

I think if such a feature existed folks who didn't want everyone to know whom they were at war with would just send a regular "message" to the other person to let them know there was a state of hostilities. But maybe not.
