I'd settle for a less cumbersome interface, and a larger tactical area to play the fights in (to compensate for 'phage large army combat, and make it more actually tactical)

Exactly. We actually had some pretty cool art and even animation, but it made the unit too specific and the animations didn't work as well if they used different weapons.

yes, they already gave a VERY small defence bonus, but to everything. Perhaps if the bonus was higher and only to ranged attacks...

Didn´t shields already give a bonus in this direction?

Yup. I'd chalk that up to artistic license.

True, I hope the tactical AI gets some major work done to it.

I don't use tactical battle to be honest. It's time consuming and more often than not overwhelming victory is overwhelming whether I do a tactical fight or not.

Ah, too bad, I enjoy tactical. I bet if I did auto resolve I'd have more victories behind me, but oh well. I'm a sucker for the bling I suppose.

That's what I think is happening, and that's kind of what they do now, but it would be cool if the Dust Bishops actually used lightning projectile/stream (ala ghost busters) as their ranged attack...

Oh man.... that would be awesome, though I think what he's doing is sucking the life.. er.. dust lightning?!?!?! out of the Wild Walkers. Still... it would be cool.

On a much closer look, I think the Wild Walker unit is the militia.... but I still want a Dust Bishop that can cast lightning....
