2 Things this game desperately needs

[MaxWilson]

On #1, I'm not sure I agree. If you mean a way to get units to participate in castle defense in spite of being assigned to other things, then yes, that would be nice (if not urgent). If you mean a way to get them to actually patrol, thereby reducing unrest and possibly catching spies, then I disagree. Patrolling is an action and should remain mutually exclusive with other actions.

#2 might be nice but introduces possible complications. For instance, it could require rewriting the "defeat" conditions, because it's no longer possible to say someone is out of the game when they own no territory. Also, does a prophet crossing someone else's territory still spread dominion? Finally, from a role-playing perspective, the current state of alliance = wary, armed truce makes a lot of sense, since ultimately you both know There Can Be Only One. It would be nice to have the option, though.
