Shift-M, actually.

I'd like to see the AI handle assassination attempts differently. Even if scripted to do so, better don't use buffs or powerful combat magic that's meant for lots of units, if it makes the mage unconcious from the fatigue. (scripting Earthquake is only asking for trouble)

The infamous "archers not set to Fire like to enter melee as soon as possible" should be fixed, too. Archers should only enter melee if they can attack an enemy unit within one round, and use their ranged weapons otherwise. Also, archers that do more damage with ranged attacks (Flaming arrows) than with melee should prefer to fire their arrows instead of entering hand-to-hand combat.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry

1. Some type of auto search, where a mage will move from province to province searching for magical sites.

2. Some sort of bless sacred troops command so that is all a priest will do until that is done, including moving into range to bless them.

3. as mentioned above, a "sleep" command so 5 commanders in fort do not have to be cycled through with next commander key

4. Highlight troops with afflictions command so they can be removed from the rest of the army.

I wish to wish for clams instead of crafting it one by one. Let's say 5 clams by wish. Deal ?

Unless you mean speedier versions, these are kindof available.

select a mage in a lab, press shift-m (autocast every month), have it case a site searching spell. Next month he will pick a new province that hasnt been checked. Its much faster than move, search, move, search. You can create a group of mages so that each one casts a different search (earth, astral, air) but it doesnt do any good to set more than one doing earth search since they will check the same province.


For afflictions, select a troop then hit w and it will show you the afflicted ones

That reminds me. Another wishlist item is that I wish priests had a search spell that I could shift-m

Expect this to change in the next patch, though. Courtesy of Taqwus, March 25th progress report from Illwinter says:

* Can use monthly cast multiple site search spells of the same type.

That already exists, try the "W" key.

You may not always have the spare gems and need to manually search though. I like how SEV added the command where a scout ship auto searches the whole sector. Same type of deal.

Thank you for the "w" key command. cannot believe i never noticed that on the tips between turns(:

[Xietor]

I would like an audio signal that the turn is completed. i alt tab between turns with large maps lots ai players because length time it takes. A chime or something signaling next turn would be great!
