Default Re: Will there be a Dominions 4

If you have enough imagination, and enough of a grasp of scope, you really find that fantasy boils down to one thing-anachronism. Fantasy-even Dominions fantasy-is basically just the trappings of various cultures, seen through the eyes of wishful thinkers who want the distortions of myth and storytelling, to be real.

Soooo...there's no reason at all that you can't have "future-anacronistic" fantasy, as opposed to "past-anachronistic" fantasy.

Look at Lovecraft: big influence on Dominions 3, and fantasy (through his friend R A Howard, of Conan fame), and he mixed fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres freely, and did so from an original mythos-base.

Personally, I think that Dominions 3 has only barely scratched the surface.
