"Ok. Space? Who? RTS Dominions? Dominions would have to be stripped of all that we like about it."

Geeze, you sound kinda fearful. Space and sci-fi can be fun, especially if it's done all steampunk pseudo-science like.

"To further the discussion, take a look at Blizzard. They have 3 universes and has never branched off, they have only created 3 genres. These are Diablo: RPG, Warcraft: RTS, MMO and Starcraft: RTS.. oh, I forgot the one they are making that should have been cancelled years ago: StarCraft Ghost. Anyway, Blizzard has never branched off from the fantasy genre and Illwinter does not need to either. They have a great fantasy universe with great rules and they call it Dominions. They definitely do not need to create other fantasy universes."

You sound like you're taking this far too seriously. It's a game, so it's no big if the developers decide to do something different with it. And Illwinter isn't Blizzard, which is good because Blizzard's gotten really boring. You sound like you're really afraid of change, and you shouldn't be. It's not that scary of a thing. All you have to do is have faith, man. Illwinter's gotta do what they're moved to do, that's how good games are made.

I am embarrassed in front of the Dominions god.

I definitely agree. My use of the word "historical" was misused. I should have used "realistic." For example, Age of Mythology is definitely historical, it's just not realistic. I hate hardcore realistic games.

...but I'm always harsh about my opinions at the beginning.

As for Dominions in Space or a space game in general, it would be competing with Space Empires. I would not want a competition.

Yes, very inspirational.

I just have to also chime in as to loving a steampunk game. Arcanum would have been my favorite RPG if it wasn't for the broken combat system, but the flavor was right on for me. With Illwinter's imagination and attention to detail, I can't believe such a game, whether RPG or strategy or whatever, wouldn't be worth playing.
