Besides that, have you thought of trying to tap into other markets? I think that you could bring in a lot more people if you put your game up on Steam for distribution. I don't know what kind of deals they make with developers, but you'd be opening yourself up to a huge fanbase. I know they had a small company 4X space expansion style game on there a while back called Space Empires 5. I don't know how well it fared, but I checked just a moment ago and it's still up there for sale. Anyways, I'd love to see you all earn enough profit from the game that you could farm out programming tasks to other people. Finding new methods of distribution besides just Shrapnel Games might be the way to go. Oh, and I'm very happy with Dominions 3, it's a rich engrossing game and I've recommended it to a few of my friends. Most of them don't have the patience for the slow paced style games, so it's difficult to get them addicted, but I think I have one who might be susceptible. Jazzepi |
Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Just a quick one here. I'd like the ability to auction off magical items in the same way mercenaries are currently auctioned off in the game. It'd be better than just having to throw them away (why would you throw a useful magic item away, ever? even if you didn't have a use for it at the moment) and it would make multi-player games that much more interesting.

I'd also like to see a tag in flavor text to substitute in the name of your Pretender, so that if I'm playing "Maximilian, Diviner of Runes, Emperor of Shadows" my spell descriptions will say things like
"The yada yada are servants of Maximilian." instead of "The yada yada are servants of the new god." Maybe have a simple text replacement "<pretender>" -> Pretender's name. -Max |

Thinking back of the maaaaany hours spent on dom 2 & 3, I think it's really worth the price. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

How about ageing (natural or not) that can be benifical to creatures who grow stronger with age, Dragons, Krakens etc.
How about more than 6? size catagories. Like up to 12 in rare instances. How about spell specific boosting magic sites. Like "Lava Vents" 1 fire gem, adds +100% damage to Fires form afar. |
Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Now you're talking!
These first two are things I've asked for and made cases for myself, Cor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif So far no luck though, but it's nice to see I'm not the only person who thinks these would be good ideas. The third is also a good idea, although I'm just as in favor of sites that allow you to summon creatures and pay for them with gems, instead of just tying up a single mage and getting a Draconian every single turn. |

Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
That's another good idea. I don't like the term "unholy" because my coffee-mug isn't-as far as I know-holy, but I think "holy magic"(another bad term) could use a split between angelic and demonic influences.

Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
Not sure if somebody else has mentioned this before, but here we go...
I'll be great to have the "Army Setup" option available for PD troops and thus enable a much more rational setup. It's rather frustrating when you have an intermediate PD value (say 20-25) and the province troops launch a frontal assault, get slaughtered soon and brake without causing (almost) any enemy casualties. I think that nations like Caelum and C'Tis will benefit from this option. The Flyers you get from Caelum's PD are not suited for a full frontal assault, they're more suited for flanking/killing rearmost units. The combination of C'Tis' low morale values plus Militias mindlessly charging is destined to fail. OTOH, if you are able to arrange the City Guards in front of the Militias they'll crush a skull or two before routing... |
Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
I think there are a ton of magic sites already. Almost an infinite number. That is low on my priority list.
