Dominions 3: Speculation Wars

[B0rsuk]

Hey !
This topic has three purposes:
1) To have fun
2) to predict some facts about Dominions 3
3) To provoke developers into repplying.

I will start. Basing on some info from various posts, including Wishlist and Faq threads http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...=&fpart=1&vc=1
It is confirmed that each theme is a separate nation, actually. And the nations are divided into 3 eras (early, mid, late for lack of better name). It is safe to assume that themes/factions from two different eras will never meet each other in unmodded game.

Assumption1: It will now be possible to take, say, Diabolical Faith (Marignon) and Restless Worshippers. Themes now considered special will probably be able to be augmented with extra dominion types, water cult, desert sun, etc.

Assumption2: Let's do some guesswork and see which era does each theme belong to.

Early Mid Late
Ermor: Broken Empire > Soul Gate/Ashen empire ?
Pythium - marsh people before Ermor came> regular Pythium > ?
Regular Pangaea > "Iron" Pangaea > Carrion Woods ?
C'tis Desert Tombs > normal C'tis > ?
Golden Era > Arcoscephale > ?
Niefelheim > Jotunheim > Utgard ?
?? > Abysia > Blood of Humans
??? > Marignon/Fires > Conquerors/Diabolical
? > Ulm > Black Faith/Black Forest
Spring&Autumn/Barbarian Kings > Tien Chi > ?
Last of the Tuatha > Man > ?
Poor Machaka > Pitiful Machaka > Corrupted Machaka (see modern Africa for reference on last one)
Raptors > Caelum > ?



Assumption3: Some themes may be removed. Which and why ?
