We love you, Illwinter, but DO NOT DO THIS!

CoE III could be interesting.

Pros and Cons.
Many people who decide not to play Dominions mention the lack of tactical combat. Ive always responded that I think that would detract from the strategy part of the game, and be nearly impossible to add well to a PbEM style game. But, if Illwinter decided they WANTED to do such a game then I would much rather it was a whole new game.

Space Game? I love Dominions rock-paper-scissors balance at nation level. And the fact that the nations have unique feel that makes the only winning strategy be "find the nation that best matches YOUR style of play". Its VERY hard to get those things right. Plus a space game would really let Kristoffer cut loose on his imagination (even more than Dom does? scarey)

RPG game? I tend to play Dom solo. And I do a fair amount of RPGing it in my head. From some of the great AARs it looks like Im not the only one. Maybe they will do a game where I actually PLAY my pretender on his rise to power. Or remake their CoE game which wasnt bad.

I actually love all the ideas, with the exception of RTS. Particularly the dominions RPG and gothic-punk sound very interesting.

I've toyed with the idea of Dom RPG

Argitoth, you're just jealous you didn't think of it first

Honestly, they have the right to develop whatever the smeg kind of game they want

Remind again how I control what they develop? OH YEAH DUH! I'M A CUSTOMER! What a concept... Come on people, it's very upsetting to get a bunch of comments about how I'm trying to control them (as if it even mattered since I'm not in charge) when all it is is my opinion. Note the the word "discuss" at the bottom of the post, I wanted to hear your opinions too.

It's about my opinion as a fan, but as you can see, being a customer you are able to influence the choices of the developer as I have in many instances (not limited to Illwinter), and as we all have. In fact, I was the one (or so I think) who suggested to the developers that swamp survival trait should make you invulnerable to miasma, not the cold-blooded trait and they implemented it.

So I show a little bit of feverish passion in my post, so what? I'm allowed that.
