What do you expect to be in the next patch?

I expect the next patch to provide holographic projections from the monitor for battles between nations and independents. The holographics images should provide a range of at least 640 colors. A blood and gore disable/enable option also available for the battles.

Finally... this may have to wait for the next patch... but when winning the game the player actually acquires all powers of a god as listed in the manual.

I'm sure there will be other features added too... but this is what I expect.

Well Gandalf is surely pointing his fingers at non native english speakers, like me ^^

In fact I missed the meaning of what Zen told.

For the non-English speaking, I'll try to clarify.

What happens when any game releases a patch? Not everything is the way everyone wants, no matter how much work or effort or balance is taken into consideration. So in effect there will always be someone who is not satisfied. And those who are not satisfied take the most opportune time to express that unsatisfaction (usually 2-72 Hours after the patch) to have anywhere from a snide remark to a full fledged diatribe about how they were either ignored, the developers don't know the game, didn't have time, etc.

This is true of all games, so it will inevitably happen again and again. Though to be fair I also expect some amount of praise and thanks given to IW for whatever issue/aspect/favorite sombrero they felt was addressed in some way and agree with it in some fashion.

I want Dom9 to be out by the time I enter the old folks home. And I expect the old folks home to have direct neural interface. And I expect wait out my waning years playing god.

Next patch ? It will be terrible! I still have had not enough time to play and understand the game like it is now ... next patch ? New things to learn ... new balance ... aaargghhh!!!

Half of the suggestions/problems that rise up in that forum are far away from me ... I got the game in decembre and still there are many races and themes I never played ... soem I never met in battle! ...

So the only things I'll really expect in the next patch is some improvement in the modding part to help expert players create great new mods and maps.

It will be great also a (stupid things, not time to waste developer time) name list options ... just the opportunity to have a file (ctis.nm) with a name list from which the computer select the names of leaders for that nation ...

good lucj and good play to all

I expect every forumite to be included, from the Norfleet Heavy Infantry (+50 when defending castles :-) to the Stealthy Gandalf unit, which has 1 hp, 1 att, 1 def, a sling and the "Never healing wound" affliction, but which is still useful if you figure it out properly.

Here's my flavour text:

"Tristan is a Pretender. He can't ever become a god, but is very good at pretending he knows what he is talking about. Magic is difficult for him to learn, as he spends too much time playing computer strategy games. His people don't realise he is their pretender, and tend to mill about in confusion waiting for something decent to turn up. He is worried about global warming, his recycling efforts mean your nation can not take Heat 3."

Really cheap shot: I expect master passwords to work from clients.

I also hope that it will be possible to use mods with a text server. In fact, I just generally hope that the text server improves :-)

If not, I will take revenge by coding a Dominions2 clone in eLISP, so we can all play from xEmacs. Come on. I know you are all scared.
