KB Encyclopedia and enhanced Map

[aaaaa]

I think that we need kind of interactive encyclopedia of each creatures, stats, talents, skills, spells, items, and etc. These informations should be available in-game for easier browsing while gaming. Two or more creatures should be able to be compared side by side.

I also wish in-game map to be improved. Once hero has explored the area and met the NPC there, the map should have location of the NPC, especially quest giver, buildings, stores, and other geographical game informations. Map should be able to be magnified/zoomed up to accommodate and display these detailed informations without mouse clicking or mouse over.
The castle or store information should include shop keeper and creatures currently available for hire and, for castle, garrisoned units.

Civpedia of Civilization 4 series game was great tools to enjoy the game to full extent.

Lastly, I'd like to have some provision on game interface for user modding. Like way to add new buttons for custom information pop-up screen without affecting existing ones. If dev team does such provisions, modders out there will come up with various interface mods and they will work in harmony without conflict each other.
