Talk:Wish List

Merry New Wishlist!

Hope no one minds if I start this off again. Anyone want to copy the actual wishes from the old tiki? I'm lazy, maybe if they are really wishes the wishers themselves can do that. Olik 16 September 2005 21:39 (CEST)

The old Wish List was pretty much left un-used for most of the tiki's finally months. it'd be pointless to drag it over -- Revan

Archery Torunament

Hmm. isn't the archery tournament one of the frequently shot-down suggestions? --John 21 September 2005 22:12 (CEST)

Indeed, and I've put it under that section. Which brings up a point of courtesy: if we see wishes in here that we know belong at the bottom (or, worse yet, are already there), should we simply delete them? --Anaris 26 September 2005 18:02 (CEST)

Here, correctness should outweigh politeness, just to avoid having people continue to bring these subjects up on the mailing list. --John 26 September 2005 18:27 (CEST)

That request about diplomats really amused me, because it reminds me of the April Fool's courtier class.... 9 December 2005 15:10 (CET)

City Wish

Tom, just a quick question - one of your comments was that constant redrawing of the maps was the reason to reject the building of the city idea. Well, right now, milita, and your current location show up on the dynamic map, why couldn't you just draw a city similar to that, rather than edit the map. Again, I'm just asking, not trying to be a bother - Peter Kolak

Ugh, and make it cover an entire region without it looking like it was say a Woodland Region before? What if it was a large Woodland region? Plonking a picture of a City in the middle of a bunch of trees would not really be a convincing indicator that this is a new city. Neither would making the picture of the City fit over a large, uneven Woodland region. It'd look silly. The only time I can think of when we would ever need new cities anyway is if a continent becomes to polarised at which point the gods could intervene and try and make a little more balance. Though apparently no-one even cares if the earth moves anymore (throws a disapproving look in the East Islands direction) - Revan

Archer Upkeep

Generally if youre travelling with the army it would be already taken care of. Supplies of arrows would constantly be coming in from your realm. I somehow doubt we'll end up with any Agincourt/Crecy scenarios on Battlemaster. Where your on a totally different continent surrounded by enemies with no allies to aid you ;) And on another note introducing wood as a necessity would be terrible. you'd have to cart it around on a caravan or something which would increase travel times and it'd just turn into a horribly complicated, unbalanced mess :| Best left as it is I think -- Revan

Hmm I guess, but I like messes. :D Makes battles more interesting and unpredictable. I did mean wood should be, in general, more used - as it is, supply vastly outstrips demand because so few things use wood. Olik

Having a standard format for wishes

Should we have a standard format for wishes to make it nice and clean? eg:

-(Name of Wish, using the second level header (===)) -Documentation of wish -Any other suggestions eg how it could be implemented -A space for people to leave their comments

I thought it might make it easier to read and easier for people to skip to the ones that interest/affect them. DorianGray 13 November 2005 10:23 (CET)
