Patch Feature Sugestion: Better Battle Summary

> I'm sure they've been asked about this one a lot.

We have

Big changes to this are not likely. Perhaps categories like demons, but not by unit type.

If a list of all units was made it could become very long. In my current MP game i have armies with dozens or several dozens of different units, many in singular since their fellows has died (firedrakes I no longer sumnmon etc). If all of these were listed I think I would only find it annoying. But that's me.

Fortress casualties is a bit more likely, but lower than bugs and mod commands on the priority list. Since it is something that has been whacky and complained about since dom2, it is unlikely that JK feels anything but angst when pepole talk about it . Heck, even I get angst about it, and I don't program. Best way to cure angst is doing something more fun, like adding a new feature.

How about listing out sacred units casualties out of normal ones? (seperated lists for scared commander/demon/magic beings are not necessarily needed)

That also makes much sense since those guys are elites and decisive in most cases.

I think the units thing is a little much toa sk for and I also agree that it'd be annoying. I mean imagine poor Ermor counting up their loses. However, Castles and Demons!!! please!!!

How is this for a more fun suggestion:

Could spells affect province type? For example, a nature spell could make wasteland not wasteland, or create a forest. An earth spell could make mountains. A death spell could make wasteland... A water spell could make water? dont know about that one. (but in age of wonders, the game whose forums I heard about this game, there is a flood spell - still, i dont knwo if that would work here.

One problem with this (in my mind) would be that the map would not change appearance, which could be misleading. But changes the terrain flags seems doable, no?

Could a separate line for commanders and mages be added? Far too often I've had an enemy say "but I killed as many or more of your commanders as you killed of mine", and I have to reiterate "but you didn't kill any mages, and I killed eight of yours..."

It wouldn't add a lot to most people's games, but I know that my enemies would be more demoralized.

Also, a GP and/or gem counter would be awesome. I'd love to see a battle fought where my enemy loses 4K GP and 200 gems in troops and I lose 150 GP and 10 gems in troops.
