On fixing only major bugs(red ones), then starting development of Dominions4
Invalid question.

Kristoffer has made it pretty clear some time ago (and I haven't seen a contrary statement since) that Illwinter is not going to do a "Dominions IV"

A) based on the engine of DomPPP-Dom3, as "everything that can be done (and maybe even more) has been done. A major change/fix at one point is likely to break the code at another point", therefore bugfixing is on the verge of getting out of hand already.

B) starting a complete re-code, what would be required to do a major change or expansion of the game: It took Johan several years to get the code base where it is now, and it looks like that he (and maybe Kristoffer as well) have very little incentive to start from scratch again, as that would become boring very fast.

If Illwinter is going to do a new game, it will be something new most likely, he said.
First, it's not a question it's one of the optional opinions. Second even tho Illwinter has made it known there are no plans for Dominions_4 doesn't remove the fact that many within the community would desire to see it become a reality. It's one of opinions so Illwinter can identify the desires of the this community.
So Illwinter can make any decisions they want regarding future patches and future games, but this poll is to reveal the opinion of the community.
