Feature Requests / Duchal powers

« on: August 29, 2011, 05:05:02 AM »

I became a Duke a while back and have been disappointed by the lack of things that can be done within the duchy.  One would think that the Duke would have a similar effect in the duchy that he ruler does in the realm albeit a smaller effect.  I have also thought that holding court would be a beneficial ability of the duke.
I am not certain where to stop with this, but I think it would be very realistic that the duke have powers beyond taxes on the duchy.

Feature Requests / Replied message

« on: August 21, 2011, 02:25:10 AM »

I have on a number of occasions had issues attempting to remember what a person's reply is when they send me a reply that only make sense if you know the previous message. 
Could we add a "view original message" to messages which are replies?  Much like in emails.  It would make things much easier to understand.

According to CS!  That would be quite realistic actually.  Especially if you count the apparent CS after modifications.

More options sounds like a great idea.  I had never thought of the prestige voting.  Choices are a good thing, you could also choose who would get to see the results, perhaps just making the results available to the person starting the referendum, council, lords, etc.

Feature Requests / Re: Simplification of Travel

Perhaps I missed someone suggesting this, but perhaps for beginners (first month-or an optional setting for everyone) the location of the marshal could be shown in the travel page.  To add to this, the action of the Marshal could also be stated.  Such as:
Marshal in Region X.  Moving to Region Y.
Marshal in Region X.  Dug in.
Marshal in Prison.  SiC in Region X.  Moving to Region Y.
Another idea (which I would highly suggest for just the first month) is to have the action which would mimic one's Marshal in a different colour.  As in:
    * Region X (home realm)
      good road, 61 miles, ca. 4 hours
    * Region Y (home realm)
      good road, 85 miles, ca. 6 hours
    * Region Z (enemy realm)
      good road, 48 miles, ca. 3 hours

This does not simplify anything, but it does make things easier for new players to follow what they need to do.  Some may then never read their orders, but I think the goal should be to help those who want to play and deal with those who will be quitting shortly.

Development / Open Votes

I have come across the problem of wanting to be able to see what each person has voted, but not wanting to have the last person who votes be able to decide the result if the referendum is close. 
There are many optional settings to referendums.  Would it be possible to have the option of making a referendum open or closed referendum.  A closed referendum would be exactly the way it is now.  An open referendum would simply list those who voted each in the results.

I would definitely be willing to help out.

Feature Requests / Divisible Estate

« on: May 09, 2011, 06:15:12 AM »

Currently, everyone gets to have their estate support either production or authority (or be idle).  In some situations it would be beneficial to be able to split the estate to support both, albeit by smaller amounts.  Perhaps you could choose as the lord, to keep your estate supporting one option for 12 points, or split it and get 8 between the two.  This could also be something that certain classes, such as Courtiers would be able to do with less deduction.  As a courtier Lord you could get 10 between the two.  I do not think that knights should get to do this at all.
