Playability Wishlist

hnchrist3 said:(3) I like LA Ermor, and it is impossible to deal with thousands of troops. I have to send all my freespawn commanders in to remove the chaff so I can select what I want. What good is casting "great lamentation" if you have no access to the gals later. There needs to be a button for a full-screen view of troops so you can select them, and then go back to the "normal" view. Tartarians disappear in the chaff as well.

I don't think this is the way to go about it.

Rather, what I would like to see is a +/- up by the unit list, in + mode it would look like it does now, in - mode it would group all identical units in a vertical stack. Clicking the unit on the line would select all units in the stack. Clicking elsewhere in the stack would select 1 unit per click--doubleclick would simply be two clicks and thus select two units, it would not be select all matching as you could do that by taking the unit on the line.

If this were done internally as well as in the interface it would allow for far more units in the game without bogging it down. There's no need to treat the units individually other than in combat or when resolving starvation or the like.

there can be other view where you only see 1 icon of each unit type on garrison and a number that indicates how many of them, like in Heroes of M & M.

Is it a thread where we can post what we want for future patches or dominions 4? I could make a really long list, but not everything would fit into playability...

We are getting a patch soon, hopefully, any day now...

6 patches within 16 months of dom3 coming out, now thats after sales service.

I'm still only playing the demo (still waiting on the postie to deliver my game - so don't know if this is already possible) but if one could see the total amount of own units per province, like you can when viewing an indy or enemy province, it would cut down on one click having to then go into the army screen to see what numbers are actually there.

Edit to add.. Ah, it seems if I use the supply number I achieve the same outcome - fancy that!
