The colorblind fix mentioned elsewhere on the forum would be very welcome. It's purely QoL for a small part of the user base, but it would make the game much easier to play. 

It would be nice if the sovereign could cast magic in their own "turn", rather than having to take the combat turn of one of your units.

For DLC- quests, items, magic, units- in order of importance.  Maps don't interest me- random map parts should be part of free updates.

With the expansion, I'd love to see resources do different things for different factions- Wraiths would get little use for wheat, but get food from crystal, etc...

I want to see more lieutenants.

Enemy should also be able to take out Outposts. 

BUT can a unit still "sacrifice" their turn to cast a sovereign spell?  If not this would be a V bad change imo.

For normal gameplay patches I like the focus on AI youve spoken about frequently. I would also love to see some rebalancing of level bonuses to help incent keeping units alive for the long term. Like Bailey slowly attracts a pack of dire wolves around her as she levels up. I'm sure the balancing is a nightmare, but some more flavor to normal units could really open up army diversity and help differentiate individual playthroughs.

For DLC I'd most like to see new champions, new items and new spells in that order. The current champs mostly do a good job of playing differently, but I'm sure you can think of even crazier ones. Or just expand the skill trees for slme of the current champs. For items I'd like to see a lot more super rare unique items and maybe more that offer skills on the tactical map. 

Love your direction for the expansion. Moreover I hope the game is doing well and keeps doing well enough to get more than just the one! I love the base gameplay systems and art you've built here and really want to see it expanded upon as much as possible. 

Free updates:

For a free update add of victory condition would be something like: if you have 50% or like 75% of the shards on the map then you can cast a spell that makes you win. It'd give the player even more reason to go find shards but it would always be dependent on shard numbers and maybe difficulty. It'd have to be different than Tower of Mastery though.

UI stuff: Still too hard to track city growth, still too hard to know how long it takes to build something -- wish both of these were easily seen on city screen or at least in the tooltip when you hover over a building item or food tooltip.

So I played the Tinkerer sovereign over the weekend and I still find Enchanting really not very easy to use. A good place to start would be to reduce magic costs to maybe even zero. I rarely enchanted because of magic costs until the end game and by then it wasn't much use. Secondly, I found that there was just too many things to pick from. It's a micromanager's dream but not for me. I don't have a solution for that though.

There needs to be more available wolfhides available from the beginning of the game. I never build leather armor because of it. I'd suggested before to have a building called something like Hunter's Guild that gives one of a type of resource (like Wolf Hide) or maybe two. 

Build Road really should be available to everyone without research. It'd be nicer if you could drag a road from another road and have it auto connect. I know towers will auto-connect but not always. It's too annoying to get around the map as it is. If reducing the base cost of roads then maybe a building that reduces it's costs of universal spells or something. Also, it'd be awesome if pioneers or perhaps scout could just have an option to build a one square road for their turn. It'd exhaust the scout or pioneer of course.

I still feel like I spend half the game spawning pioneers for tower upgrades. It makes the game feel like a grind. It'd be nice if you could click on a tower and queue up an upgrade to the closest city.

I really wish I could equip shields and weapons on my soldiers. I think I crafted two weapons the last game and that was it.

DLC:

See my first inclination is to say more items but I rarely build items besides chain and platinum armors with Ring of the Tutor in as many as I could. That being said, I suspect there might be interest in sovereign specific crafting. At least, a more expanded choice. Also, I'd be nice if playing through as the priest that I'd have different unit sprites than the tyrant for example. I'd be nice if that Altica city looked different based on sovereign. That's examples of DLC that I'd consider buying.

I enjoyed the campaign scenario and wouldn't mind seeing more stories. It might be a way to introduce scenarios like Relias chaining undead girl (sorry not good on names). I'd be willing to pay for scenarios if they told a good story in the elemental world. I wouldn't want to see these story in an expansion because they are previous stories. I'd be a good way to build a campaign-lite story driven scenerios that lead to the main campaign as it currently sits. I'd be cool to see the SK becomes the SK by scenerio. I don't remember this because part of Fallen Enchantress so that's why I suggest it.

I can tell you specifically that I'm not interested in more heroes than currently is offered. As cool as Tandis is, I don't have a good grasp of him as a character. I'd rather see energy spent making the current heroes interesting than making more guys or gals with "cool" features.

The one caveat is that I'd totally buy a Build-a-hero generator DLC. Fallen Enchantress had a pretty good generator and SK could use one. I'd need to have a way to build a starting units too. Maybe it's points-based set against difficulty. 

I wouldn't mind seeing a Scenario Editor DLC that allows people to build there own scenarios with robust tools. This could also be provided free as part of an update to allow more people access to it.

Expansion:

This seems obvious as you mentioned but I'd be interesting to playing the game as the yeti faction or swamp guys. The mechanics would have to feel very different though and the goals perhaps different. 

I'd love to see the "minor factions" have their own AI goals for sure. 

I'd like to see a continuation of the story. Just because the SK is defeated doesn't mean that there isn't more story to be told. The engine is robust enough to handle a game that plays a bit like Fallen Enchantress but different.

This idea is either a free update or here: Brad mentioned a want to diversity what a city does. I still don't have much reason to build more than two cities and that really only for logistics and that's it. Something like Fallen Enchantress but not exactly the same would be welcome.

I always go random maps, so maps are not a big draw for me either.   More champions & spells always.  Maybe more variety in the sorceror king and his minions?   I stepped away from computer gaming for a long 6 months due to real life issues taking precedence and I am just now getting back to the game.  Have to say I love it.  It really turned out great!

Oh and more lieutenants too, please! Gets old with only Aegethon and Vetrar. 

Tatty, bugs are legion?..I see some, but legion?

(Free Updates)

Line of sight unit blocking for Ranged units and mages with direct fire spells.

Line of site terrain blocking, ie...trees. 

World Map Visibility twinks. When you have a unit on a hill or mountain increased visibility.  When a unit is in a forest decreased visibility.

Wandering Sales Men met on the world map.

(DLC)..

Tactical maps with water as a terrain, swamps with swamps, rivers with rivers to cross.

Larger Tactical Maps.  (2 tiles away from the enemy front line leaves little tactics.)

More variety of monsters to encounter.. Too many bandits... more then half of my encounters are bandits and wolfs... gets repetitive.

Different Cities models for you main faction... Different colors for the units... something to mix it up.  it all looks the same.  the only changes in my games are the spells I pick at the start. 

Monsters lairs which correspond to the terrain their lairs are in.   Scorpions lairs in the desert,  ferocious exotic animals in the woods... not just bandits and wolfs everywhere.

Expand crafting to be more accessible at the start of the game.  Some way to get everyone in leather before the end of the game, I don't really know how to solve it, special lairs, a worm hole to a realm with special monsters who drop high level ingredients.. I don't know.  I never seem to have the ingredients to craft the recipes I have available to craft, other then potions.  I always have lots of gems... I never can find ingredients to make plate for my armies in every game I play, and I just stomp all the monster lairs and end up summoning new lairs to I maybe can get the good stuff.  I just kind-of given up on crafting and just hope plate mods drop plate and I have good drops or quest for gear.

(Expansions)

Dude... got to get this game off the ground in regards to combat.  Unleash the Kraken and let thous Pterodactyl swoop-en in and eating my soldiers.   Let me sacrifice some of my wolfs and levitate them to throw at the SK units during tactical combat.  Muhahaha!.  I am the SK.  I dont know if I would spend money just so I can play other Factions.  I would be more interested in rebalanced in game play by adding tactics which are currently not available.  If I can build fire monsters from the fire faction that burn the unit which attacks them that's great and all, but I can already summon a fire elemental.   If swamp giants bash units and have them lose a turn thats nice, but Ill just summon a Ice Elemental and freeze all units on the map for a turn of only 10 mana... way way too powerful by the way.

(Victory Conditions)

Elemental Alliance... call the aid of the old titans to crush the SK.  Through quest lines meet and persuade the titans assist you. 

Curgen Awakened... Resurrect his spirit get him back in charge.  Bring him back to power with gifting units and cities.  Finally assisting his army with the SK take down and the returning of Curgen's Bane to him.

Cataclysm...  Start the destruction of the world which enrages the SK and brings his full wrath against you.  Cause the 2nd Cataclysm before he Cast the Spell of Making

You asked and you have received....

There is at least two medium that I know of, and one dirty great big one. 

+1 For a Sovereign that actually does something, like cast their own spells on the battlefield instead of you having to possess a sibling for the job.  This is so contradictory it defies logic on a epic scale.

The developers of this game show very little definition between Sovereigns, hero's and their pets, units, beasts, traveling salesmen, God's and kings, mice or men, travelers, tramp's and thieves.  All seemingly giving the feeling of one base unit with various skill trees.

Wellspring is the "Heal Army" spell.   Can be used out of combat as well.
