from [[User:AppleBoy|AppleBoy]]:

*ysagoon online renamed to something cooler
*a new meta server setup that allows the linking of multiple ones for redundancy
:basically something like battlnet from blizzard, where you can choose your location and connect to that one
*have the metaserver deny you access if you aren't running the latest version
*have a seperate metaserver for testing versions
*level4 towers able to attack air! necessity!
*before the game, be able to choose the following:
#fruit vision enabled or disabled? - reason being sometimes a person will turn it on to turn the tables when they are loosing because they have more fruit (ok, I do this to others, but still)
#fog of war?
#allies (still changeable in game)

----

from forums:
*look over the strength of level3 buildings, maybe too weak?
*is the issue where the AI will still allow it's buildings to be surrounded by wood or wheat?

== New gameplay ideas ==
from [[User:nct|Steph]]:

====Magician====

We can have a new unit, let's call it magician, caster or shadow for now.
This unit will undiscover the map around it for the enemy (i.e., recreate
black). When upgraded, it could kill explorers. This way, the information
control get a first place in glob2's gameplay. Ideally, it should be linked
to papyrus. I still don't know how it should be done (by a building, an
upgrade, a continuous consumption, per shot consumption, ...). On the
implementation side, this effectively bring ranged weapon ability to units.
Nevertheless, it should be implementable in a reasonable time if we use the
bullet code.

====God actions====

We can have global effects. For instance, buildings providing prestige could
recharge some global action capacities, which can be used globally. I can
imagine:
* mass conversion (convert all units on an area of map)
* garden of eden (a nice way to recreate wheat !)
* holy forest (you always loved trees didn't you ?)
* mass depression (remove all happyness of units on an area of map)
* eye of god (reveal the whole map)

====Singularity Obelisks====

We can have a new building, the singularity obelisk. It would allow any globule
to instantly travel to any other obelisk. This would allow the unit to get a shorten
way in some situations, for instance to go from one island to another.

This can be not-too-hardly implemented
by modifiying the gradient computation system so that when it encounters an
obelisk, it looks around all other obelisks belonging to this player or its
allies (obelisk sharing being a question to discuss) to see if there is a
lower value for its target (or higher, depending the gradient algorithm
conventions).

Of course, an obelisk would be hard to build, and perhaps would consume, let
say, papyrus ;-) (so that the Archwizards in it can write and cast spells to
maintain singularity). We could even imagine to make the obelisks quite
dangerous so that if they reserve of papyrus fall to zero singularity
collapses and make a lot of damage around.

== Out of game wishes ==
from anonymous:

* Update AUTHORS file: please add yourself in it if you have contributed something that has been added to releases.
* Go through bugtracker and forum to compile a more thorough list of all bugs, document them, close fixed ones, etc.
* Finish moving everything over to globulation2.org
