Re: Combat results log
I'm delighted you approve. It's comforting to know that IW intends to listen to the fan base, and include features the fans ask for.

Re: Combat results log
Yes I can understand how this poll can be felt as offensive by IW, Arrynn. Particularly the second question.
Developpers are players, dont forget that (well its true for IW at least!). And the commitment they have done for dominions dwarf, by definition, any commitment that even the most zealout fan can do.

Re: Combat results log
The second question in this poll is a perfect example of what a poll should NOT ask: you ask "who is best suited to deciding what we want", while the question you're really asking is, "who should decide what is best for the game".
Obviously, this is a point that may be debated, but there's nothing to poll about. (I still cast my vote in favor or logs, but honestly, they'd be more work for the devs than they're really worth)

"Who is best suited to deciding what we want" is actually what I intended to mean. I'm guilty of poor phrasing. For that, I apologize.

Since you play HoI, you should appreciate that this isn't always true. Paradox, the developers of HoI, consults closely with the C.O.R.E. team (which has practically re-written that entire game), and frequently incorporates many of their changes into the official code. Of course, Paradox has exposed their AI to modding, and IW hasn't (at least not yet).

Re: Combat results log
Useless poll IMHO - no offense meant Arryn, but I can't see your point :
Question 1 is a poll on a feature : combat log. Ok we can discuss about it, but a poll won't mean much...
Question 2 is pointless : of course Users are those who know what Users want, that's a syllogism  , but the designers are those who decide what they will eventually put in *their* game !
