Dom 5 wishlist

[kristoffer]

Hi,
Feel free to add wishes and ideas here. Discussions are welcome.

"Still no ability to see info description of the other nations heroes in hall of fame?? "

Pinning this so people don't end up making threads for individual wishes. (Under the assumption that pinning makes it more visible, which may or may not be true.)

[Althaea]

Worth noting that Zonk's https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vLVxmX7Z8Cq-yFKhx71O61hIRRaJd_esoGJ8WqaSU54/edit#gid=1706322405]spreadsheet also contains a tab for wishes.

Wishes should still be posted and discussed here though, rather than as comments on the spreadsheet.

[Zonk]

Here's a meta-wish: let's separate wishes/suggestions for the base game from mod functionality requests.
Later I can do that myself and port the unimplemented Dom4 mod requests.

The ability to choose the land to water ratio on random maps might be nice. You can still do it when creating your own random maps. Nothing major, just seems like an odd omission.

a special dominions themed mouse cursor would be cool. the white hardware cursor spawns powerful horrors in my mind.
maybe there is already one out there for windows, i don't know.

Can we get a mod subforum? I mean, we shouldn't need it yet, but it kinda sounds like we do...

[Althaea]

And one for "Maps" and "Multiplayer". It doesn't seem like I have the tools for that myself.

I'd like to see more premade maps in the game. I know the random is a choice, but I loved some the the old big themed maps!

havent tried the game yet but i,d like huge maps without having to add loads of nations to get one

[Althaea]

More maps is largely up to the mapmakers, though I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them got imported into the base game itself.

Most of Dominions 4's in-built maps were originally made by fans for Dominions 3, I'm pretty sure.

You can make maps of any size using the Map Generator Tool found in the Tools menu accessed from the game's main menu.

I'd love to see a new version of that flat earth map. That was one sexy map.

Hi Kristoffer

I would like to try to reduce micro with some automatism features.

Imagine a new 'national settings' UI page where you can establish some things like:
-default PD for your provinces (so you can set it to 1 or 5 or whatever, gold would be spent at the end of the turn)
-default position (back, mid, front) and side (left, mid, right, random) for commanders of X type (for all the units from your national recruits). That way you could put all your priests/mages/scouts to back/random, and they would be distributed automatically to your back line.
-default script/spell list to use for units with magical path X. Imagine being able to select "F3" or "A2N2" and a script, and any new recruited mage that have that path is given that script. It would be the same as it's right now, but with less filler micro, less copy&paste.

And a "auto blood hunt" feature for units to blood hunt in its province, take the slaves to the nearest lab and return to the province to blood hunt again would be nice.

i want to be able to have much longer pretender names. and to have time stamps in the battle log.
