Another suggestion

Hi all,
Maybe it could be possible to create battle by importing an army list (xml or any other serialization type) then export
a detailed result with the army list modified after the battle.
Something which is already done with Field of Empires/FoG2.
With serialized files as input and output it will allow third parties to create various campaign systems using only the factions in the game.
I noticed in the past that many tactical games lack of a good strategical layer.
Sometimes the publisher tries to create a simple mechanism only to provide something but we can understand it's hard to
spend time in a feature at the expense of the core game.
So build great tactical games like this one or Sanctus Reach or FoG, and give to modders an import/export mechanism to generate custom battles.
Modders can build tons of campaign layers, many of them won't be good but I am sure we will find some gems and the iteration process to find the good strategical system won't cost anything to the publisher.
Just another suggestion....
