Re: Wish-List for Dominions 4
This isn't about Dominions 4 so much as it's about Dominions 3, is it? Well here's what I want to see patched in: different fortress icons on the main map! Just a simple little change, purely cosmetic, requiring only a few dozen new icons, perhaps even easily derived from the existing fortress close-up images (the ones you see when you're looking up a fortress' Administration etc.). A great city, a kelp fortress, and a wizard's tower should not look exactly the same. This change would improve the interface and the role-playing experience both!
Another, less likely change I want: more wraparound map support! The map generation is quite cool as it is, but... it always generates corners (as far as I know), and corners are LAME. If the world is really supposed to be flat, then let it be round at least, and surrounded by some kind of stylized void (possibly starry), not by water. (Okay maybe that one is for Dominions 4.) But more importantly, let it be round! I mean, without extensive manual labor on the user's part.
My greatest and least likely to be satisfied desire (for Dominions 5, to be released in 2014 for your Xbox 1080): Full integration of the multiplayer game threads, the game client, and LlamaServer (or its functional equivalent), so that I don't have to have five browser tabs open all the time to play in two multiplayer games, and so that I don't have to keep track of the ever-changing mappings between forum names and nations, and so that I can send somebody a message and get the answer within a single turn without having to worry about whether or not they ever bothered to hook up their forum account to their e-mail address. (N.B.: All of this hassle is still a pretty good price for such an awesome game as Dominions 3.)
