Re: Next patch
I think its fair to say that while we love new nations, new spells and those annoying bugs fixed, we'd also like to see aspects of the core game fixed to improve the quality of our MP games. For example:
- removing or tweak exploitable spells/game mechanics;
- address significant imbalances between some nations - ie add more specialist content to the very worst ones, nerf the ones normally excluded from games for freespawn/being too good - ie LA ermor and ryleh (?);
- review and incorporate some of the CB mod aspects - spell levels, resource costs, troops stats, pretender design.
This will make our MP games better and keep us coming back.
I thank the devs for responding to some of these with the latest patch or two that I've been around for (eg LA Abysian improvements).
It worries me that some experienced players will simply not play a vanilla game in favour of CB mod games - this is surely indicative of a set of well-recognised imbalances that should be addressed for the community to retain senior members.
Starcraft was tweaked over time to make it into a Korean national sport, why shouldn't Dom3? Maybe we can claim a country too?
