Suggestions for new patch

[rabelais]

Changes a few days with the demo has made me want:


Open ended random magics for 10% chance paths, i.e. 1 in 100 should get +2 1 in 1000 get +3 (split rather than grouped, I would think) etc. Not important, just whimsical oe consistency.

Starting nation points should be moddable for both SP and MP.

A variant of ulm that has sacred black knights, just for funsies. (replacing black steel with the shroud is just silly.

Rare recruitable independents, that can heal afflictions... i thought witches fit the bill, but it was just flavor text.

Rabe who has the game but hasn't installed yet, for fear of having no life.

Both can be done via modding.

That would be kinda neat if Witches and Druids had maybe Healer (20). It's awfully low, would take a good handful of them to even hope to get Disease or Feeblemind off, but it would be a nice reason to actually purchase them.

Also, Enchantresses should be able to Seduce. Meow.

The two changes I would like to see is: First, the ability to trade research, and steal it.(Like MoO2) Second: The ability for nations to co-exist in the same province, (using something similar to move and patrol) This order would be move and co-exist. Please note If both parties don't give the order to cooperate, They fight...

LA Ulm has sacred Black Templars (and Hochmeister commanders, and Black Inquisition). It also incorporates Black Forest theme of Dom2.

I doubt you'd need a list of the preferred order.
The commanders have to be stored now allready in the turn files (of course) - I suspect in some large structure.
All that would be necessary to change the order would be to change the fields of the commanders in that structure which should be doable without need for extra RAM or complicated coding.
Well, of course I might be mistaken with the history of affliction and heroic skills each unit has got, but I'd be willing to try and make an external programm for that if it doesn't make it to the patch and the devs have nothing against it.
