Re: combat
There are games that do both but they are setup so that you have to select at the beginning of the game. Basically, you are selecting PbEM (Play by Email, save a turn, send it, its hosted, turn comes back) or doing it as a direct interactive game.
As far as I know, programming that means you program in two complete ways of handling the game. Its not a simple switch. Its a full module to run the game one way, and a full module to run it another way. That might be ok for some corporate team of programers but not fun for one guy Im thinking.
Maybe (a BIG maybe) if Illwinter programs a direct-action game next, then they might down the road do a version of Dominions with both.
