Would it be possible to break down, or have a break down of the Lords selection combo.
1. Lords able to move 2. Lords unable to move, 3. Garrisions/strongholds

Hi there Mr Thread-Monster! Another Post?! The dropdown does actually shown whether a lord can or cannot move since the time is shown. So lords who are at night (or are dead!) cannot move. Only citadels and keeps with Power of Vision* (Ringy did tell you about that, didn't he?) are listed, so smaller garrisons will not appear. *=Power of Vision in MU applies to all citadels and any keep with a 250+ garrison, in addition to your allies. It was introduced to encourage the use of citadels as tactical locations, and to make garrisoning keeps worthwhile.

It's been long on a wishlist, i wonder why it never was implimented... Perhaps due to more CRITICAL issues.

I guess he meant the the list would be sorted one: Moveable, Nonmoveable, Strongholds

The problem with one list and sorting them, is you still have to work your way through the list... personally I would rather seperate them out. So I know for example. that I only need one click on one combo box until its empty. My resolution is 1600x1200 and the text can be a little small!

Ah I see now. 3 dropdowns.
Yes I could do that. What do others think?

The strogholds are always listed at the end of the dropdown, so they should not really interfere with your lord-picking if you don't want them to?

Ok, I guess it's just me, but they already do get in the way. I keeping managing to select them instead of my lords!!!! I'm probably not visualising the list correctly yet.

I'd stick with one, but with better sorting/readibility. Example: ------------------------------------- - Amarin [0/0] - Hawk Maiden [0/800] - Lord Revenger [1200/650] ------------------------------------- *** (Night) Lord Gard *** (Night) Lord Shimerill ------------------------------------- ††† (Dead) Lord Aragorn ------------------------------------- +++ (Citadel) Auborg +++ (Citadel) Suomenlinna +++ (Keep) Olavinlinna -------------------------------------

Two? Those still with time, those without + dead? That sounds like a good idea. With selectable strongholds at the end of both lists (as if they're lords (which they are in DB, right?)). Handling long list is really tiresome, and I always end up with 40+ lords when playing against Fernando. ;D ;D ;D
