Default Re: Dom 3

It sounds like an interesting idea but I think it does affect the core of Dom2.

Dominions priorities so far seem to have been:
Play by EMail arrangement
Balance by rock-paper-scissors at a nations level
Multi-Player
play by network arrangement (tcp/ip)
Solo-Play

I can see where your suggestion would add alot to the game. But its in the soloplay area, and would break some of the "fairness" for the multiplayers. As a solo player myself I would love to see many things shifted more into the random or luck Category but too much of that violates the MP's desire to win by tactics rather than lucky occurances. Someday I wouldnt mind seeing Dominions split into two games. Multiplay and Solo. That way maybe Id see large advances in things like random maps, smarter AI's, boosts in the effects of luck scale, more variance in random events, more spells offering a range of results instead of a set one, a seperation of summoning and binding, etc etc.
