Campaign feature requests ;)

[Dave Fancella <davidfancella@davefancella.com>]

All,

Ok, here's two things I'd like to see in campaigns.

1.  Optional battles.  These would be battles available to the player to play 
if they really want to, but have no significant effect on the campaign.  The 
idea here is to mimic a historical wargame whose purpose is to teach history 
which might include battles that had no visible effect on the outcome of the 
war, but have educational value.  In this context, they would help to enrich 
the story we're telling and provide more general maps within a familiar 
context to play (and the educational value of just playing another map can't 
be denied, but you can try anyway ;)  ).

2.  Captured documents and other things.  These would be things that come 
available to a player after certain battles (such as the Scientist's 
Deposition in teh campaign we're working on right now) and they could access 
them from the campaign tab.  They would serve to enrich the story, but would 
be classed as 'optional', ie the player shouldn't *have* to read them in 
order to follow the story of the campaign.
