Have you seen Unreal Tournament 2004? (Linux, Mac, and windows). Also thing Worldforge puts out. Anyway, in these openGL days, cross platform and cool graphics are no longer impossible. However, cool graphics takes lots, lots and lots of time, which a 2 x 0.5 man team does not have. And anyways, I would rather have more game play than graphics for something like this. E.g, one obvious thing that is missing is terrain, instead of the X x Y battlefield.

Don't get me wrong --- Dominions is one of the best closed-source games out there. A tremendous effort for two people --- I am very impressed
