Without a Dom4, I'd *really* like to see the Dom3 code become public domain

[chrispedersen]

If Dominions is going to go obsolete (no dom 4)...

Then perhaps we could open up the code base, and make it public domain.

I'm sure we could get a bunch of volunteers to help document the code and make it modular (and moddable).

For example, off the top of my head, I'd like to be able to

- allow code plug ins, similar to .dms but that changed more than weapons and spells. For example, allow a spell that created a permanent gateway between two provinces. This could be done by changing the provinces neighbors
- mod random events.
- mod how alchemy works.
- mod to allow point handicapping, or bidding for countries.

The point isn't really the mods I'd like - but if Johan and KO are really intent on going to another project and not continueing Dominions, then opening it up and making it a user supported product.

Please do note however, that I in no way wish to harm their interests; and I support their efforts to continue to develop (and profit from) the product as long as they wish.
