Kristoffer's encouragement thread

[Kristoffer O]

Hi all!

This is my encouragement thread.

I have done far too little dominions work lately. Some skiing in the northern parts of sweden, some pen and paper rpg making and some school related work has put me off task.

I tend to get caught up in stuff. I have lured myself into two rpg projects of my own. One campaign and one game. I'm not that good at focusing on one project. The game is about trolls in a scandinavian setting influenced by the artist John Bauer. http://runeberg.org/jbauer/01.jpg


OK. Back to why I'm writing. I believe I will be more focused if I write some stuff here. So this thread is is intended to increase my bad conscience for not working on dominions. I'm not sure how long it will work on me.

My current intention is to write occasional stuff here and let you comment (or encourage me) if you like.

Hope you like it.

First update:

Names for Tir na n'Og are being implemented.

Tir na N'Og is supposed to appear in the next patch.

Excellent I have been really looking forward to this EA Man nation.

I figured you were away on hols, hope you had a good time.

I have been playing Dom3 for 5 months now and still very, very much enjoy it. You have designed and implemented a very, very deep game with huge amounts to explore. It's really very, very different from 90% of other computer games. I hope you continue to enjoy working on and developing the Dominions series.

I was a roleplayer for 15 yrs and it was great fun. I hope it gives you more ideas for Dominions.

I will only make 1 request of you, any chance of more national specific spells for nations in future patches. Marverni for example has not got any national spells and there are alot of other nations who could do with some national spell love.

Thanks again.

Getting the missing nations in would be good.
Id also like to see the nation-specific spells, fortresses, etc to be spread out abit more.

Kristoffer,

Have you seen Edi's excellent bug shortlist?

[Gandalf Parker]

Yes he has (he patted him on the head for it in another thread. But keep in mind please that Johan is the programmer.
Kristoffer we can thank for most of the "words" in the game. The thematic choices and descriptions of the nations, units, equipment, spells, etc. So unless you mean the typo stuff, most of the bug list wont really apply here.

Hi KO, glad to see you back !
Having Tuatha/Tir Na N'Og back soon is good news, is there something else in your bag ?

Yay, another patch looms! Like Velusion, I'd like to see a slight neutering of Hel/Van. I also think it would be worthwhile to spend some time with quantum_mechanic and to listen to his ideas as implemented with his cb mod, and whether or not you feel that they would be worthwhile, especially with the pretender balancing.

Plus, an evening out of national heroes and the implementation of national spells for *all* nations would add more flavour.

My partner is Afghan, and while she doesn't play or anything, I was telling her about some of the nations and she mentioned that the incredibly complex and violent history of Afghanistan historically would make a great national addition.... Though heck, I wouldn't mind seeing an Eskimo nation - Aleut/Inuit/etc. Or one that utilizes the cave men independents or.

Whoa, I'm getting carried away! *duct taping fingers*

You know asking the devs for nations is less likely to get you somewhere than asking modders. I've made a mod nation which pretty much follows a concept someone posted up there.

Maybe some of you are a bit leery of mod nations, but in my opinion there's some really killer stuff just a click away.

Kristoffer: I don't have any requests, actually. I think Dom3 is a darn fine game as-is. The only things I would add would be more of the stuff you've already given us: more nations, more spells, more magic items, more maps....

More of the same, please!
