Dominions 3: popularity rising?

[DonCorazon]

Well I put my money where my mouth is and started a thread on Dominons on BGG under the Age of Conan Boardgame, http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/27848
This board game will be attracting a lot of attention as it is not yet released but is on a lot of Most Anticipated game lists.

Hopefully some folks will see that thread and be lured into checking out the game. I am on a Dom 3 crusade (er, mission) to generate at least one sale, since my friends are too lazy / intimidated to pick it up (actually they are probably just not as much of a geek as I am)

I wonder if a flash game could be created that captured enough of the Dominions spirit to convince people to download the demo?

Flash game are amazingly unique in their ability to reach an incredible large audience. They are actually what took me away from Dominions... first for writing my own flash games.

Asteroids Revenge
and
Sola Rola

Then I/we actually formed a company FlashGameLicense.com to broker games for other developers making them 2-3X more money for their work.

A recent game we brokered has been played 4.5M times in the last two months. Two million plays were on the 'sponsors' website. The other 2.5M plays have brought back 500K unique visitors (20% click through ratio) to Kongregate.com.

The game is Protector

If you could take some aspect of Dominions to create a compelling flash game experience you could reach a TREMENDOUS audience. I'm certain a good percentage of them would turn into the typical rabid fan.

This sure sounds fun, but WHAT aspect? Saving the beautiful Hierodyle from the evil Vanir with flaming weapons as Hierogallus the Lizard Hero? A Guru leading a group of Markata in a lemmings clone? Blood Hunt the Game? "You have found the Enchanted Forest! Congratulations! You've found the missing nature gem, and the priests have summoned a Faery Queen! The Plague is cured, and your village is safe!" Tower Defense, where you must build a fortress that can withstand the slow, tough Ulmish hordes, endless skeleton hordes, giants, LA C'tissian mixed heavy infantry and skeletons, with pretenders as boss-fights. Position your mages well, research new spells and upgrade your fort into an impregnable Mountain Citadel!

There are so many wonderful ideas...

I have much the same problem DC. I spam a few games sites here in Australia without much success. Must spam harder.
