Something that I would like to see in Blight is to have lots of stats on pretty much everything, so that I can see how well I did (and measure against the other players). This could help player’s improve, but mostly I’d like to see it for fun.
After completing a game, it’s fun to look at how well I did against my friends. Who had the most kills, and whatnot? Right now, the stats done’t tell us much. I’d like to see something which shows details on how many bodies were burnt; how many units were lost; how much military might was gained over the course of the game; etc.
Right now, the only particularly useful stat that we have is how many total zombies someone killed. That doesn’t accurately reflect contribution. One player might have generated and donated a lot of gold to another, or burnt a lot of bodies, etc. Kill count alone doesn’t reflect those kinds of contributions. Upon completion of a game, those kinds of stats can also be used to show a summary screen to celebrate the players who achieved well in various areas (with titles like “generous donor”, and “pyre builder”, etc.). That could also help encourage players to specialize in certain ways, such as having one player with a lot of orcs to donate valor to a player with a lot of dwarves, who then donates back some gold allowing the orc player to pump out lots of troops. Showing detailed stats could show how each player contributed to the overall goal in the end.
