Default COE-II

Anyone tried playing the demo?
If so, what are your impressions?
It sounds like a deep, interesting game. Is it?
The gfx seem poor. How is the UI?

IW, can you give us a hint at what would be your next product?

I have.
It was OK.
Hard to say from the demo.
Well, it's up to you if the GFx is poor. COE-II is more simpler than Dominions, and IMO the UI works.

Dominions-The JRPG

(If IW doesn't do it, can i do it with RPGMaker 2003?)

We don't know what our next product will be yet, but there is no shortage of ideas at least. Maybe we should make an update to CoE? It must be over a year since we updated it Last time.

Hmmmm...
I would say no updates to CoE, unless you realy are going to kick AoW's and HoMM's rear end in their own serie of beer n' pretzel fantasy TBS games...

IMHO Dominions II will kick rear end of any other fantasy strategy game, but CoE didn't have such a dazzling amount of content as Dominions I/II, so it lacks certain edge when facing games other games.

Well, that is, if you don't care about making so much $$$...

Do what you want.

(and i was serious with the Last sentence of my post, as idiotic it sounds.)

Forget about that, keep updating and enchanting Dominions 2 with more and more features, such as the mod tools, the weapon system, the best AI what ever existed in a strategy game etc.

Thats easy. I was afraid that you wanted someting complex implemented such as changing the name of Man into Mann.

Speaking of AI (Im probably late in this) does the modding allow scripting of AI's? Id love to write a ranomizer around that. >

Update CoE ! We (at least me and some friends ) want new things to see to beat and to play with (and some new terrain squarre).
Why not CoE III
