Suggestion = Combat Replays


I keep coming across situations where I have to exit to the main menu to reload, which sucks, takes three clicks and a few seconds of precious time. When all I had to do was cast a heal before combat ended to save a unit, or made a dumb mistake and my Sov got no XP. This could be easily fixed by just replaying the combat.

Well, that's kind of your own fault, isn't it? These things happen. It's not the biggest disaster ever, and you can easily recover and move on. I don't think this kind of feature is necessary at all. It would add a (in my opinion) completely pointless functionality to combat. If you care that much, just reload the game - I really think you can handle the few seconds that takes.

I thought this thread was about recording combat so that you could go back and watch them again.

Obviously when a combat happens....it happens. If you don't like the result, reload.

while that feature might be nice for new players and/or perfectionists, i think it would be a waste of valuable dev time. if you really can't live with the results, there's already the reload function - or you could just accept the loss, move on and learn from your mistakes. i don't mean that in a condescending way - just try it some time - you'll probably learn more by accepting your mistakes and avoiding it the next time then by replaying and correcting the mistakes (at least it works for me that way :) )
