3. This exists: Press A, E, F, W, S, N, D, or B while in the research screen (F5)

Ranger:

1) We already have that in assassination attempts, spell events like Seeking Arrow etc. We don't need that for battles, since players are expected to keep track of commanders they care about (i.e. significant commanders & mages). If it's some regular bonehead or some common Fire Darter mage with nothing special to go for him, who cares? There's more where those came from.

2) Use the spell filters

3) Yes, it does exist, both in research and spell casting screens (ritual and battle scripting screens)

4) Completely useless request. When you click on the battle event to get the summary, if you had only PD fighting, it will show that you had NO UNITS AT ALL and the enemy had X number of commanders and units and lost Y amount of those (if any).

The correct way to go about requesting features is checking if they are already in the game (whether by oneself or asking about it) and making the feature request only if they are not.

Code it so that you can save your battle replays and gloat over your greatest victories or lament over your worst defeats.

The spells which summon roving indy monsters (ghost ship armada, wild hunt, that one with the three sisters) should be stripped of their global status, so they can only be stopped by beating them or recasting them yourself. They're expensive, and there aren't enough global slots to make them worthwhile.

This may not apply to the three sisters, since the spell description seems to imply that it causes insanity in blood mages worldwide. Never cast it myself, so I don't know.

There was a thread a while back about extra information in messages which was quite good. In particular the 'storming a fortress' message is blatantly inadequate. I'd also like it if as well as units/magic/undead/commanders fielded/killed the battle reports provided a detailed breakdown. For example;


Friendly Combatants
commanders 2, killed 1
regular units 35, killed 10

Enemy Combatants
commanders 2, killed 2
regular units 20, killed 18

Detail:
Friendly Combatants
Commanders killed: 1
John the Priest

Regular units killed: 10
Archer 10

Enemy Combatants
Commanders killed: 2
Dick the Prophet
Harry the Knight

Regular units killed: 18
Heavy Cavalry 6
Militia 12



This would mean I wouldn't have to watch the less exciting 'sure thing' battles to see which of my commanders got hit by an arrow, or to check whether I'd taken out a key enemy commander.

I would like if multiple ritual site search spells (Auspex, Haruspex, Dark Knowledge etc.) were automatically cast on different unsearched provinces.

While we're at that, auto-forging of items every month would be nice, just like auto-casting of a specific spell is currently handled.

If I understand your request, thats already in the game. You select the appropriate mages, then use shift-M to tell them to cast the search spells automatically every month. They will select the next unsearched province.

The games replays rely on a ton of info that would make a save pretty large.
There are 3rd party programs that will allow you to save the battle and save it in public formats suitable for uploading.

If you had a neat victory in province 56, you could always make a copy of the whole savegame folder with a name such as ulm_gloat_56
