I was basically carried away by the game. I spent 22 hours without sleep at it. Hehe.
Let me tell my ideas how to improve it. Maybe someday something will appear to be fun enough to be added if you have a time...

Interface and options

• Ability to look at the detailed members info from the 'A'ctivate member screen would be nice. I have to go to R every time I want to look at exact skills
• Ability to see someone's FULL list of crimes would be nice too. If I understand it right, now you see only the latest crime.
• Ability to see the "heat" of all the bases on a separate screen would be nice too.

Additional info

• Such important info as a list of kills, kidnapped and converted for each person would be great... Probably hard to implement but still. Maybe someday... I like to track personal achievements.

Attack options

• Ability to select an attack type (hands, clubbing, shooting(if possible), agitation (if possible)) for any weapon would be great. I.e. I don't want to shoot this guy with my AK but I want to club him. Something like that.

More flavourful "musicianship" and "converting during combat"

• For now it tells that you murderd someone when you were converting people through an attack with a musician/judge. A different crime (like "public agitation") for verbal and music attacks would be great and it would add an option to play the game "without kills".
• Again, ability to club with the guitar, not only agitate, like in the menu suggested above.

Peaceful activities on site

• Begging (like asking for donations from invited people but less chance and less money).
• Playing music to liberal people.
• Pickpocketing.
• Drawing personal portraits (some money + a chance to increase art+any of social skills from the painted man, i.e. science from scientist, religion from priest etc.).
• Yell admonitions (for priests/teachers), tell about dreadful experiments (for scientists) to make people leave the "tile" without a combat.
• ... etc. For now you come to a place to kill/rob someone. More peaceful options for various professions would be nice.

Sorry that I post  too much, probably I was too carried away and I haven't slept for a long time .

I agree with most of these, especially the interface ones, which I am 100% for.

By Azura By Azura By Azura!  It's the GRAND CHAMPION ...

I can't believe it's YOU ... standing HERE ... next to MEEEEEEE!

Converting people during combat doesn't give you a murder charge.  It gives you a disturbing the peace charge.  If they happen to kill someone, it gives you a murder charge I think.

[Deon]

Well, if it's 5x5 fight then often someone of them clubs another to death. The problem is, why MUSICIANS are charged for murder? Shouldn't it be that those converted ones should be judged for murder, because they are not a part of the squad, and your musicians should be charged for "agitation" and "force others' hands to kill", something like that? I would really like it being changed a bit, to reflect the peaceful nature of my "LCS".

Also it would be nice if there were two types of murder: 1) murder (actual); 2) killing in self defence. Probably hard to track, but the first one to make a blow should be considered "attacker", and a musician whould be just a "disturber of peace", and if he kills someone who tries to shoot him while he play, it should be a "killing in self defence", still severe but a bit less heavy.

[mainiac]

Yeah one day that's probably going to be fixed, but Fox-san can only do so much.

[Deon]

That's why it's a "suggestion". I am really glad to know that he still may work on it someday, that's enough to warm my heart (20 heart btw) .

I wish I could do more. The list of stuff I'd like to do on the game is nearly endless, and the amount of time I have to do it in just doesn't measure up.

The suggestion to allow reaching the character sheet from the activation screen is a very good one -- I've wished for that myself, but never thought to actually do it. The full crime list is already working in the game and slated for inclusion in the next release, I believe courtesy of Firewolf on these forums.

A couple questions:

Where would you envision the display for heat on all safehouses going, and what would you use it for?

Where and when would you like to set the attack style for your weapons, and what sort of situations might you use this ability for?

I'm gonna stick my nose where I wasn't called and maybe offer suggestions for those questions.

1 - Maybe an 'H' button on the main screen? Perhaps one that would open a screen which not only lists all the shelters + heat, also allows you to relocate people?

2 - Just like DF Adventure Mode, perhaps a 'C' (Combat Preferences) button while on-site, which allows you to select what the hell are you exactly doing with your currently wielded weapon.

[Deon]

I would like a separate screen with heat and ability to relocate people and equipment. For now too many things are put together on 'R' and some are missing.

Also ability to see the heat when you switch between shelters (I think it's "Z") would be good. For now those "safe house" screens miss a lot of useful information, like heat, number of members and number of food.


Another suggestion I forgot to add: it would be nice to see daily/monthly gains per each member. This way we would see which ones are the best and which ones should be relocated.
