---------
; TO FIX
---------
- Add Mrtn's hobbits
- New Wainrider graphics
- I think that gfx is too gory for the first era Saruman; fits better as 3rd or 4th era building for him.
- The shadow of Wool and stone is not alligned.
- Mushrooms and Deer isn't always visible. I have a txt file with pedia entrys for wool, lebethron,
*wheat and oliphaunts.
- Sceptre of Annuminas has palette problems.
- We should remove the cactus from the desert gfx.
- Buildings-small seems unalligned.
---------
; DON'T UNDERSTAND/COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM
---------
? "Tower of the king: one of the buildings (small I think...) pcx's is out of whack."
? "I'm getting a weird crash when building the special Isengarder Warrior - the error message
*says I lack "SwordmanFortify .wav", but the extra space is present neither in the filename nor
* in the ini. - Can avoid crash by re-inserting blank space."
? Isengard: "No entertainer citizen- not cool."
? Isengard: "No archer unit- really not cool. You can't go on the offensive until Military Training,
and then only if you have copper."
? "My game keeps locking up when my improvements get pillaged. I'm not sure if it's something
in the mod or just my computer being stupid."
---------
; DECIDED NOT TO CHANGE
---------
/ "I would like to see the Troll Den available earlier if possible. As it is, you don't start getting
*them until you're a few techs into the second era."
/ "Culture from the "Wizard's Library" would be nice"
/ "I may be wrong, but I don't think that you actually need isengard specific ships replacing
*ships that don't need any resources in the first place. The first two ships, or whatever it is..."
/ "Arcane Knowledge splash is of Mordor?!"
/ Toenail cleaning is wearing thin in the retirement screen.
Has it been abandoned due to Civ 4?
