I agree and I am pretty sure this has been asked about/mentioned before. A nice list of all the commands that are currently in use would be great. I for one am curious about that disappearing pioneer trick.

Im working on making templates for everything for my personal use. You could to to help you out with this. All you have to do is go into the world editor and start creating triggers for things. Then save it go into the xml file and correlate the triggers to the xml coding that was generated. There is alot to do, at first this game seemed like it had such a rudimentry modding system but Im finding out more and more every day that it is getting more complicated the more I want to dig into it which is a very good thing. Last night i discovered how to add and remove units when and where i want, Ive been working on altering the landscape with triggers as well, I havent tested it yet but it seems to me that you should be able to update tiles on the map during the game, so if I wanted to I could create a wall across a mountain pass then if a quest is completed I could change the middle part of the wall into an open gate area allowing free passage. The campaign has an example of this in the first couple parts of the chapter but they used a unit to do it not an actual world tile which is what i want to try. Also I found last night a few tips to make the game less laggy because the performance on the game is prett bad on my machine and I have a great machine. Anyways i just lowered the resolution and made its affinity to one core instead of all of them, while the performance of the game greatly increased after this the sound now stutters every time an action happens which is really aggravating, makes me put on my playlist instead of listening to the elemental background music.

I seventh this proposal.

We agree too.  This week you should start to see the release of web based XML tools (first for reading, later for writing) for manipulating and seeing how the XML works together.

Woot

Excellent.  Looking forward to this as well.   (Maybe the Stardockians should hide in the mod forum until the rest of the forums cool down - become sane).
