I made a thread like this before Civ IV, and I felt like Firaxis listened, so here is what I'd like to see in Fall From Heaven
1. Arcanus and Myrror/Overworld and Underworld and randomly generated dungeon maps, (duh), but not necessarily just underground, have some portal to other planes, or perhaps inside ancient castles.
2. If your units get enchanted blades, I wanna see their blades glow! If your units get mithril armor, I wanna see their helmets and blades reflect likewise. Looking at them on the map, I should have a good idea of how they are equipped, and what spells are protecting them. I'd also like to be able to outfit armies as if they were a character in a RPG. So you can give them full plate, a two handed sword, and amulet of the paladin, and the entire unit would reflect that.
3. I want piles of gems, gold, and silver, maybe even a commodity economy, where food, mana and mithril prices rise and fall based on supply and demand. But I want to see them stockpiled graphically, not just a number and an icon.
4. zoom in on the map, and see little people working, and living their lives. Click on them to get an opinion or weather report
5. Night, day, rain, snow
6. Army mechanics, Mix em up have armies made of frontline swordsmen and backline archers, or frontline pikemen and back line cavalry, or frontline werewolves and backline gryphons... and maybe every unit get a commander, who can be equipped with special equipment, I mean everyone in a unit can have mithril swords, but only one person can hold the netherblade.
7. Overland spells. Earthquakes, tornadoes, plagues and the dreaded great wasting
8. Heros, artificing, and custom races/leaders.
9. Mixed race mechanics, so cities can have elves and dwarves living side by side... and rioting!
10. Charging, flanking, and backstabbing
11. ninjas (I know it'll never happen, but I love them anyways.
)
