All of them sound interesting and somehow important, however I will keep
to Widelands functionality. Conquering seems to work pretty fine atm.,
so I thought about donkeys as well and about animated battles - already
talked with Thoralf about an implementation some time ago.
Further points coming to my mind would be:
* "Stop storing this ware in this warehouse" - feature (+ "outsource
this ware to other warehouses" - feature)
* Balancing of oreproduction: Widelands is still quite expensive in
iron/gold/marble/coal production - in S2 you needed 1 fish to produce 1
ore, our system is more complex, so perhaps we should allow to produce
more ore per snack/ration/... - will properly speed up production of
tools and wares an thus speed up expansion.
* Adding more notification messages and sounds (like "you lost your
militarysites", "this mine is empty", etc.) - this task is quite easy,
so if a newcomer wants to join us, this is a good place to start. :)

Well there are surely a lot more things - just take a look on the
feature request and the bug list ;)
