I mean offline in-game Manual. BTW, will you replace Atlas online manual to offline? IDK, maybe .txt version. Something indepensent, because online only manuals are uncomfortable. Wesnoth's in-game manual will the best example.

Trap...

It would be good if there's trap system. Some troops accidentally burned down, or paralized, is good to see on the screen http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/uploads//emoticons/default_smile.png

I would suggest an explosion trap if this game is, at least set on medieval age. But there's no explosion in classical era unfortunately http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/uploads//emoticons/default_wink.png

First of all, sorry for digging out this old suggestion which might have been forgotten since.
I've just found this very old post before suggesting the same idea.

I like the use of traps in Stronghold Crusader 1.
I'd suggest no explosion trap but rather pitch traps that could be lit by bowmen with flamming arrows.
Other spike traps could be whole with spikes in their bottoms.
Another trap could be simply a large hole in the ground where units (running cavs ?) would fall into, then one could kill them from above with arrows/arbalests.

It seemed to me that such locations as savana/desert and sea coasts were sparsely populated by fauna. How about adding some ostriches and scorpions to the savana/desert

I've noticed that a lot of the randomly generated maps don't have enough wildlife myself. And these maps never seem to have predators lurking about. It makes the wilderness feel empty and barren IMO.

There is a serious effort here to make maps way more lively: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3995

I sincerely hope it can be included in A27. @maroder

I think it would be really nice if there was a customizable map that had all features on a sliding scale. For example, it would have options like amount of food, amount of wood, amount of metal, amount of water, amount of elevation, etc. It could also have an option for amount of distribution of features that impacts the clumsiness of features, where perfectly even distribution results in 0 forests and all trees equally space and no distribution results in one large forest and no other trees.

It would also be nice if we could atomized maps on a scale of 1-8, where 1 distributes features across the entire map and 8 results in features being spread out in 8 slices. In other words, a way to make each player have the same accessibility to resources or a way to make it entirely entirely random.

Would it be possible to set observer lag -1 as default? I think this would be a good change.

In order automatically prevent laggers from interfering with the game.

Many new hosts Don't know about it and they are very laggy when 8 specs enter

You never want observer lag. The option should be turned off and set to a default of -1. 

For the record, I setup a default of 10 because of @nani's comment here: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D3737#162803

I don't have any strong opposition to changing the max lag to -1.

Ok I see @nani's point. However, usually hosts shouldn't lag behind their own server right?

Another point: I have joined more "complicated" games (4v4, late game, many units, lots of fighting) and had to lag up to 8 seconds before I caught up the the action. After that, I didn't lag behind at all.

It should definitely be an option, but I think if '-1' is not ideal, something like 50 turns would be fine too.

agree on -1 by default. mostly, hosts prefer to have that setting because it's less hassle. how is it better to kick slow observers rather than having slow observers lag behind? they can leave if they stop enjoing the lagged stream, instead of getting kicked directly.

join lag is a different thing entirely.

Add more Asian and Romano-Roman music, something similar to clichés, something that does not remind us of epic cinema.

 

military marches always give it a touch.

 

 

Gregorian chant is from pagan origin.

I don't see why not include a little choir.
