Feature Request: What do you want added? (plug to get shadow cursor back)
Hello everyone  I hope this is not a duplicate thread if it is, just let it die, I couldn't find anything like it already done. I like Heroes 4 a lot, and it's great how different it is. However not all diferences are for the best IMO, and that is what this thread is for.
I just want to express my extreme wishes for them to add back in shadow cursor to aid me in battles. I don't like guessing when I'm moving my units, at all. I sometimes block paths without knowing it and it is extremely annoying to me.
So a added feature I would like to see is shadow cursor. Please add it! Then I will be happy and enjoy heroes 4 like I enjoyed the previous ones. I can live without grid and shadow movement, but shadow cursor is a must IMO, especially now without a grid.

My request is "RELEASE IT HERE IN PERTH AUSTRALIA!"
We are still waiting!
Now that I know about there being no "real" multiplayer the waiting is a little more bearable........

My wish is for a change that I've wanted since Heroes 1. When you need 7 turns to move on the adventure map from one point to another, I want the cursor to tell me it will take 7 turns not 4+. Any number from 4 onwards it will just say 4+. I don't think it is that difficult to estimate the exact number of turns, so it should be more specific. That will help tactical planning.
Also I want the resolution interfaces to change. Instead of the interface only containing everything at 1280x1024 I want the other resolutions to have it as well.. scale it down. Don't make the interface look huge on lower resolutions. 800x600 is simply not playable. You can't even see the whole town, and the viewing screen is barely half your monitor. The toolbar is enormous and missing lots of things.

Here is my wishlist in no particular order:
1. Yes, add the movement shadows back.
2. Either a) Gamma Correction or preferably b) lighten the "fog of war" so you can atleast make out adventure sites!
3. Ability to choose your starting hero.
4. Display amount of experience gained from battle.
5. Control over what creatures are summoned (or if any are summoned at all)... like a little dialog with "check-boxes" for acceptable creatures. (probally apply this to necromancy as well). Sometimes I'd rather summon sprites than elementals.
6. Diplomacy and charm should work together, in other words you should be able to recruit both groups.
7. The ability to refuse advancing to an "Advanced Class", especially if you already possess an advanced class.
8. <EDITOR> Control over "Month of the...", allowing choices of which creatures can appear if any (and add back the non-creature months: Butterfly, bear, etc.)
9. <EDITOR> Ability to set wandering monster triggerable actions based on the initiating player. For instance if I want a monster stack to join a player when encountered but only if that player is "RED", and to always attack the "GREEN" player.
10. <EDITOR> Control over Treasure Chests and similar things on whether or not they can give magical items.
11. <EDITOR> Ability to customize recruitable heroes, including their recruitment cost.
12. <EDITOR> New "invisible" wizard eyes, one that are also passable and can't be "triggered" by moving to them.
13. <EDITOR> Ability to deactivate one or more summonable creatures from the preserve's creature portal.

Great list, Mordred. I'll second everything there, and add just one of my own.
The scrolling text showing combat results should be put back in. Or if they wanted to remove that for some reason, at least increase the amount of time the combat result information remains on the screen.

Yeah that's a good idea too. Sometimes the enemy casts a spell and you don't know what they cast or what it did unless you are familiar with the spell.
