Default Re: My 2 wishes for Dominions 3!!

Im still not seeting what a lobby built into the game is going to give that makes it so worthwhile. The host saves a MP game and can start up at any time? Dom does that now. In fact it does it with every turn and is part of some complaints against it. You can chat and start games? The Dominions IRC channel does that now. You can signup thru a web interface? MoseHansens site does that. Tournament play? the-battlenet does that now. Not to mention what what can be done just by creating a thread in a forum and using file attach.

Im not saying it would be worthless. It would be one-stop, probably friendlier, easier to use especially for those who are used to such systems, and could be used to advertise. Im just saying that I dont see it as a "must have".
