AuthorThe Best Suggestions
Unfortunately, 95% of all the suggestions on this forum are complete and utter rubbish, made by players too lazy or stupid to play the game properly and are looking for an easy way to "win". If we took heed of these types of suggestions then the game would be turned into a useless and easy game that could be completely in a week.

However, there are still that other 5%, made by players that have thought about the game seriously, and have suggested ideas on how to improve it without ruining it. To me, problem is that the admins just don't look through all the rubbish ones to find the good ideas, so all of these good ideas aren't noticed properly.

So what I am suggesting here is that everybody posts on this thread their ideas of what the best ideas ever suggested on this forum, so that there is one, easy to read post that contains all of the good ideas and none of the bad ones.

For example, my list of the best ideas ever posted:

-In group battles after someone afks the players troops are then controlled by either other players or the computer for the reminder of the battle (but the afk still recieves the penalty and no experience). This has been suggested countless times, and I have always supported it as I can't see any reasons against it.

-Training battles and hunts where players can play against the computer and select their own enemies, whenever they want, with no artifact durablity lost and no skill points or experience gained. This was suggested very recently by Ivo999 and I think its a great idea as it would provide training to newbies and some fun between real combats.

-No timers in solo hunts where the timer in solo hunts is removed. This was suggested by me and supported by dozens of people, as I can't see why somebody should be hurried in a battle that no one else is a part of and then punished unfairly if a computer fault happens. As this is in only solo hunts with no other players, then it can't be abused.

-Different types of arenas, where new objects or terrain is added in hunts, e.g. rivers, hills or muddy ground, that effect the units around in different ways to make hunts more realistic and interesting. What terrain you get is random and there are terrains that benefit/ penalize all types of units equally. This idea was also suggested by me, but supported by quite a few people, although in truth also opposed to some as well.

Please follow with your suggestions of the best ideas ever posted, although try to make sure that the ideas are fair and give a reason for why they should be done and also, if you can, who posted them in the first place.

Controlling by other player is best idea. Better and easier to make than computer bots. +1
players too lazy or stupid - take care you are not allowed to insult anyone here.

-In group battles after someone afks the players troops are then controlled by either other players or the computer for the reminder of the battle (but the afk still recieves the penalty and no experience). This has been suggested countless times, and I have always supported it as I can't see any reasons against it. - three objections: 1. group management of an account is prohibited by the game rules; 2. how do you know if the player is afk or there is a glitch in the player's connection; 3. how can a player give up a fight?

-Training battles and hunts where players can play against the computer and select their own enemies, whenever they want, with no artifact durablity lost and no skill points or experience gained. This was suggested very recently by Ivo999 and I think its a great idea as it would provide training to newbies and some fun between real combats. - would anyone play the real game when he/she would reach hard hunts/mercs with that demo in the game? no.


-No timers in solo hunts where the timer in solo hunts is removed. This was suggested by me and supported by dozens of people, as I can't see why somebody should be hurried in a battle that no one else is a part of and then punished unfairly if a computer fault happens. As this is in only solo hunts with no other players, then it can't be abused. - every combat consumes bandwidth loading continuously the server with unnecessary jobs if there is no timer.

My whole point here is that what you consider great ideas, others can consider them as illogic. You cannot decide who has a great idea or not. Let the admins/devels to do that job.

Good luck!
Very nice topic!

I will mention some of my suggestions:

1) Post a message when someone is leaving after battle:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1833694

2) Training room:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1835051
The main idea: train faction skill points (without getting combat experience) for a price.
Actually this idea could be combined with your idea "Training battles" (in "Training room" you could train yourself against various enemies or you could train FSP for some price and you should get more FSP for beating harder enemies).

3) Perfect hunt assists for all:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1844398
Read this:
The main idea of suggestion: 1th post
The last version of suggestion: 45th post
(actually there are several ideas in that topic)

4) Automatic bets in Roulette:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1834245
It was discussed many times:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1837096
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1835047
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1835476
Just remembered one more suggestion:
5) Police guild:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1847285

Also I like the suggestion made by Specter:
6)hunt assist records:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1838768
I made the suggestion that people wouldnt be able to afk in thief hunt... or there would be some extra sort of compinsation... (larger amount stolen or exc.)

its not that great though...
