Default Re: 2 Things this game desperately needs

#2 might be nice but introduces possible complications. For instance, it could require rewriting the "defeat" conditions, because it's no longer possible to say someone is out of the game when they own no territory. Also, does a prophet crossing someone else's territory still spread dominion? Finally, from a role-playing perspective, the current state of alliance = wary, armed truce makes a lot of sense, since ultimately you both know There Can Be Only One. It would be nice to have the option, though.

First let me say that I'm enjoying the game immensely just as it is, so please don't anyone take this as a complaint!

But I think you could get around the 'Only One' problem with a little 'Pantheon' modification to the story. It doesn't seem to much of a stretch to have on one side 3 races of man with a Forge Lord, Mother of Rivers, and a Great White Bull; opposing Yomi, Mictlan and Lanka with a Prince of Death, Deva, and Father of Serpents.

Alliances between some 'enemy races' could be made impossible, like {Kailasa,Lanka} or the Hiems.

I'd certainly pay $50 for a Dominions 3 Expansion Pack which included a feature like that!
