A vampire queen who eliminates 100% of all the population in the world has also become a God and no longer has need of food.

After all, that's Ermor's mode of ascendancy: Kill one, and you are a murderer. Kill millions, and you are a conqueror. Kill all, and you are a god!

Besides, under that logic, Black Forest Ulm would leave all of the vampires similarly foodless, because it is a death-scale theme and as such, will eventually hit 0 population as well.

Back on topic, I'd say that there is an infoscreen included in the game which puts the names on the flags:

Press F4 to got to the "Pretenders of the World" screen and click on the name of the pretender.

That only regurgitates the nation's blurb data, and the titles of the opposing pretender, if info on other nations is enabled.

I'm just a newbie, but here are some features that I think would make this game more user-friendly:

1) "Goto Pretender" and "Goto Prophet" hotkeys to go along with "Goto Home Province".

2) A "don't pool gems for this commander" switch.

3) A "Goto Province" option for the feedback Messages of site searching spells.

That would alleviate a lot of the fun panic and tension, though!

You know, that dreadful feeling of sending your pretender into an enemy province, then next turn....it's still an enemy province. Frantically, you click on the battle report. 3 out of 4 of your commanders have died.

Oh my god! Where is my god?!? Did he survive?!? Where is he?!?

Now, what would be the fun of this if you could verify his live or deceased status with the press of a button? No, you have to find him in one of the 8 neighboring provinces....if he survived!
