Hello everyone,
I've made a list of features I would like to change (or add) in New Horizons.
I'd like to hear what old timers and new comers have to say, and how they feel about these changes.
1) Let the player choose a hero's initial skill
=> Out of 2? Out of 3? Out of all?
2) Let the player choose a Scout's favorite terrain
=> Out of 2? Out of 3?
3) When a hero levels up, let the player choose the next skill from a pool of 3
=> Let him also choose between Health, Magic, Command?
4) Let the player choose a hero's level 10 skill from a pool of 3 skills
=> My Scouts always draw Looting 1 bleh!
5) When the player recruits a leveled up unit, let the player pick the upgrades
=> Use the regular post-battle system?
6) Let the player control his own defenders when a province is attacked
=> Provides the opportunity to play rarely used units
=> Controlling NoDismiss defenders? Potential abuse with losing strategy
7) Let the player customize identical units to tell them apart on the battle field
=> Something simple, like the color of the sprite's arm?
=> Or some kind of colored ribbon?
8) Investigate CPU use
=> Looks like the program runs an infinite redraw loop, pegging one core at 100%
even when there is nothing to compute.
9) Investigate issues on fast CPUs
=> May be related to the previous item?
10) Upgrade the Allegro game library
11) Improve the battle field AI
12) Let the player skip the tutorial even the first time?
13) Make a native Linux version
Regards
