I Just got the game........Awesome!!

One thing that the game desperately need is a printed Unit Description Guide. Best to do it as a PDF that way if new units are added or deleted you could just sub or add a pages to your already printed copy, nothing fancy, the unit description screen would be perfect

In addition to PvK's and Patrik's comments I'd like to add that if we could recruit another nation's unique troops, not only would the game lose some (or a lot) of it's current flavor, but Dom would then resemble Warlords and AoW too much.

I believe the idea of a printed unit list was discussed before publication. The problem is that with so many units, the cost would just be obscene. PDFs would be nice, but that was nixed because electronic documentation might increase the rate of piracy.

Which is peculiar, since IW appears to be supportive of Zen's (and others) efforts to publish the PDF documents you speak of. The Shrapnel site already hosts Zen's MIQR, and I have little doubt they'll also host his other docs when they are ready.

I think it's more accurate to say that IW hasn't done the documents themselves due to a lack of time and resources. They can work on the game, or work on the docs. I'm sure most of us prefer they spend their time on the game ...

I'd like to see the resource-sucking effect of fortress admin only apply to unused resources. So you could still build units in provinces with two adjacent fortified cities.

Here's a completely fluffy suggestion: I would love to see moddable "skins" for the UI...perhaps one for each nation. For instance, Man's default UI skin might be a stony grey, outlined by Celtic knotwork...Arcosephale's might be a white/grey marble. And so on.
