Been a while, any word on Dom 4?

[Gandalf Parker]

I totally agree. Id rather see Dom expanded along the same lines than see it become just another game. Even the design directions that irritate the crap out of me but make the game so unique that it lives forever on my computers.

Not that its likely anyway. I dont think the devs would consider such a thing. They tend to improve forever and hate re-doing things from scratch. I suspect that what we will see will be an entirely new game in an entirely different genre. And I am hoping that we will see the same great things that have been in all of their games, plus some of what has been learned in making those.

As far as an RPG, they have already done that. The Conquest of Ellysium II is available for free download from Shrapnel. They might do some tweaks in Coe2 once in awhile but I dont think they would revisit that territory.

Much can be gleaned from reading thru old interviews. Such as comments like this..

Have you ever considered developing a non-fantasy game, such as a modern or historical wargame?
We've had ideas on space games, Jules-Vernesque gothic-punk, and other stuff, so yes, we have. Not sure what will emerge later on.

I've got it! I've finally realized what form Dominions 4 will take. It will be a tabletop wargame along the lines of warhammer, but with more pretenders and naked people.
