Re: *TWO PEOPLE* created (most of) this game?!?
Obviously there will be a few changes since Illwinter was acquired by Electronic Arts.
Firstly, to provide beter value, the coding and art design will be done in Chinese slave labor camps, with J+K providing offsite inspiration and leadership. In combination with their streamlined approach to testing, this will enable the new development team to release dominions 4 in just six months! But don't worry, EA will be *even more true* to the original vision for the dominions franchise.
To get your game going in top gear, the baroque madrigrals will be replaced with a throbbing grunge-hip hop soundtrack from some of today's best known artists (european versions will ship with a blazing electronica-infused dance mix, instead.)
The new developers will concentrate on delivering the most stunning possible visuals to the 12 pretenders and nearly 30 spells that will ship with the original version. Downloadable expansions (only 500 Microsoft Points each!) can increase these numbers without limit!
You'll be able to equip your pretender with a wide array of deadly weaponry, including the pistol, chain gun, and dreaded plasma cannon.
So that you can play against the widest possible range of opponents, the game will be exclusive to the XBox 360.
As an added value to the consumer, most of the spells and weapons will be availble to X-box live premier members, for a monthly fee of only 250 microsoft points.
The game will be a first person shooter, delivering the adrenaline-fueled gusto of the Halo engine to the magical world of dominions.
