On the select nations screen, I have to click 5 times on a nation to set it to impossible AI. It would be nice if right clicking did the opposite of left clicking so I could right click once to chanege a player from inactive to impossbile AI.

Im surprised no one ever bothered to write a "default" game starter. It would be easy to do. Something with a config file so I can say who I usually play against, their settings the map, everything. Then if I want to start a new game I can just click. The initial settings when its downloaded could be set for a newbie learning game which would make it handy to recommend for the people who ask about recommended newbie settings also.

A way to automatically set tax rates based on unrest would cut down a fair bit of micro perhaps.

I want to see all races with an ability to dispel magic.

Instead of it requiring 3 astral levels, maybe just three levels of anyone ONE path, or even, say, 5 levels of any paths.

And/or, dispel can use any type of gem and blood slaves.

Considering how much it will cost to dispel anything, the cost of empowering somebody to do it is a relatively small fraction of the cost, which only gets smaller if you can roll an astral random, empower to S2, and then forge a Starshine.

I like this suggestion. It should be nice to see how much troops you have lost due to your own helpfull mages, archers, area-raiating troops, whatever, and you could use this feedback to improve your troops position/orders. Also it should be rather simple to implement.

I also would like to see the numerci results of my opponents battles (when I can directly observe them), and of course the numeric resutls of my storms/castle defenses.

I don't think that was an actual suggestion, Storm. I think the suggestion was more towards the reduction of friendly fire.

This post has gotten to be pretty long and its possible this has been mentioned before.

I'd like to have a better set of Diplomacy options with the computer. Trying to court and bribe your enemies and even forge temporary alliances would be a great improvment.

I'd really like to see a better text message interface that would include:

1) The ability to review previously sent and received Messages.

2) The ability to move the cursor around in the message to edit it.

3) Copy, paste, etc. functions

4) The ability to send the same message to a selected recipient list.

5) The ability to have the message up and have it be transparent so names of nations could be seen. Currently it's a bit of a pain to send a message to another player about a group of certain territories. I have to write down the names and then switch to the text interface type them into the message. It would be nice if I could alternate between map view and text message or see them both at the same time so I could reference the map while I am typing.

I guess that's about it.
