Wishes

Wishes Related to Players/Characters

• Heros able to train. I'm not asking for the hero being better than other military classes, but a light training feature could be nice. And perhaps an honour loss for training your men too hard while the peasants watch? (That's if there's more than light training of course) Hope it won't unbalance the game too much if it's granted :)

• Mentors able to see when there students last logged in. -- Ghostly 13 November 2005 01:23 (CET)
• Bankers being able to se how many CVs a TL has, whether Trader or not. So they dont have to ask every so often. -- Ghostly 13 November 2005 01:23 (CET)
• Bankers Beeing able to See how many bonds TL's in his realm has.
• Make an advanced tax report for Banker, where you can see how much every TL got etc etc.
• Honour gain for winning a duel against great odds.
• The ability to message the lord of the region you are in.

Wishes Related to Troops

• Wood is used in repairs. Wood would be used to fuel the blacksmith fires, replace broken bows, etc. Why not make wood a bit more useful? The wood could come directly from the regions wood supply and if not available, repairs couldnt be made (or a higher limit on how much repairs cost in time/gold)?
• Wood as a necessity for archer units? All those arrows after all...
• Going with the wood request. How about regions with wooden Palisades, requiring wood to build and repair them also maintain them. It would open up a new tradeable good, with Traders not far behind a battle, ready to sell wood to the region. (Just like in modern day conflict you have the engineers and reserve echelons to help repair what has just been damaged)

Wishes Related to Regions and Realms

• It would be very cool to be able to build a statue in honor of a character -- such as a beloved ruler, a fallen hero, or even a very rich and vain region commander. Basically, the region commander puts down 50-200 gold, selects a name from the list of TLs (which includes recently deceased heroes) and gets a stone, marble, bronze, or gold statue in the region, which would be listed in a region under buildings as, for example, "Marble Statue of Ivan". It'd be nice to be able to honor heroes who've been dead longer than that, but that would require typing in the name -- which would probably result in problems.
• Going with the statue idea, surely it'd be cool to add the option to tear them down like a guild house or recruitment center. When ousting an evil dictatorship, it'd be nice to take down the many statues of the tyrant ;) This could leave very cool RP open, as an invading realm could leave statues of enemy heros or commanders due to the peoples' likeness for him or her, or just remove the statue and build their own.
• Going along with the above wish, that the statue would also cost wood to construct! Get some use out of underused wood.
• It would be interesting to introduce ambassadors/envoys between realms. They would use foreign capitols for taxes and recruitment, but would not hear the basic chatter, though any member of the realm could easily contact them instead of bothering the leaders in concern to their nation, and they would have all the messaging options as a general troop leader. They could also be kicked out or imprisoned by their host realm etc. Maybe they could also spend hours trying to eavesdrop and get a few common messages.

Miscellaneous Wishes

• Guild Founders can send gold or bonds to Guild Members.
• More interesting weather effects
• Theocracies can get a tax bonus for people tithing to the church.
• Entertainment at Guildhalls! (For Guild members only)

Rejected Wishes

Freshly Rejected

These are listed here so they don't just vanish.

• Special Continent roleplayed as Lord of the Rings (You insane? Isn't there a FAQ entry for this? BM is its own game. --Tom 9 December 2005 17:20 (CET))
• Traders can make ship journeys! (Absolutely no special code here. If/when shiplanes are coded, we can talk about how classes should be treated differently, but that's it. --Tom 9 December 2005 17:20 (CET))
• Honor loss for refusing duels. (too prone to abuse, it would add nothing to the game, and cause a lot of grief. --Tom 16 November 2005 16:27 (CET))
• Marriages! (impossible to implement without fundamental changes to the family system. --Tom 16 November 2005 16:27 (CET))
