Wish list

HotNifeThruButr · #1 May 10th, 2004, 03:03 AM

Is there a wishlist for Dominions to be found anywhere? If not, then I guess this post can be it. What did you wish was in Dominions that isn't in it now?

1. A way to move your units around the map without babysitting them every turn, kinda like waypoints.

2. A way to see that morale is dropping and how much they've dropped

3. More mercenary types.

4. An easy way to see experienced and afflicted soldiers without clicking on each one.

Smarter spellcasting AI. That's been my biggest, and only, complaint since I bought this game.

2. That'd be kind've nice, but I could live without it.
3. I'd rather just be able to mod them.
4. That would be a most excellent idea. It'd help me organize troops and swapping out the diseased.

2. right click on the morale value of the unit (unless you mean supposed morale changes during battle. I don't know quite how that workd, or if the morale value is truly altered, or what)
3. there are. you just haven't seen them yet, as they are rare.
4. highlight one unit in a squad. then press "w". that will highlight the wounded. "e" highlights the experienced.

I did mean morale changes in battle, but you're right, maybe the math involved doesn't work like that.

I've never heard your #4 mentioned, was that a suggestion or does it really work?

Edit: yeah, Ducanish, I do hate it when my Vanjarl is put in an arena death match and procedes to summon skeletons instead of fight hand to hand like a real Van.

the w and e thing really works already.

Yeah, it works. But it's still time consuming. I'd like to be able to tell at a glance just how many troops in an army have an affliction and which are experienced. Maybe just a smaller heart/star next to the units sprite when your in the Army Setup screen?

Totally agree with the original poster, especially on waypoints and better overview of troop status, even on the main map - Stars! had incredibly filters to accomplish this.

But is there an official place to post wishes? You can't expect the dev team to read ever posting here

St. Patrick started one and was doing a great job of maintaining it. Pasting in the suggestions (if they didnt turn out to be already in the game), trying to prioritize it abit as far as easy/hard fixes from what pther programmers here said, taking out things that were completed by patches or by 3rd party programmers. Its here...

Hey... Gandalf Parker?! I remember that name! You're one of the people who suggested I check out Dominions when I asked about a "simultaneous turnbased game" on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic. Hehe, that was around Christmas 2002

Welcome to the addiction. This is where all the docs are that you wished had come with the game. Heck for that matter this is where the Dominions 2 Encyclopedia is (no way they could do one manual)
