Wishlist: The Modder's Wishlist

[Amos]

I wish for the ability to classify units as a certain type using a mod command, and having a second command that you can assign to a unit that gives units of the type a bonus in combat.
An example of what I am talking about would be as follows:

Give a unit
#unittype "Elf"

Then give a commander

#unitcom "Elf"

The outcome would be that when the commander is within a certain radius of units of type "Elf" on the battlefield, those units would receive a small boost to morale, attack, defense, and maybe precision.

I have been asking for generalization of that idea since Dom2. Permanent fields (like disease cloud thats already in the game) for spells, for leadership, for damage etc.

I'd really like to be able to mod darkvision as a value. I'd also like to be able to mod different forms in and out of water using unit numbers - just as the mermen, wet ones, capricorns etc have.

You could extend this to not just water but other terrain types - for example a unit which changed to a stronger form in a forest or a unit that gained flying when in a mountainous province (think gliders of some kind).
