Whats this...?

Yea I would like to make own items.

You can forge magical items in Dom II, which is what I believe the marketing blurb is trying to say. As far as I know, there's not any built-in ability to add new magical items to the game.

Of course, there are many things I don't know, and who knows what the future will bring? All I know is that the beta Version doesn't have any kind of "item maker" utility or anything.

confusing marketing speech...

I wish we could MAKE custom items in the game. That was my favorite part of MOM. In fact, my strat revolved around 'tanking' up a warrior with homemake items.

But, I think this will not be in DomII from what I've read so far.

I'd like to see it too. I can see MP nightmares with the play-balancing though . . .

Yes and no. Custom magic could be made very expensive in gems and too many eggs in one basket (or one general) is a self-correcting system. I learned this a lot in MOM when my super-champion got ripped into tiny pieces.

Then, all those awsome items have a good chance of being used against your next champion in a few turns.

Well, i'm happy with the current situation, but with custom magic items, Dominions II could almost be MoM II...(well, i couldn't care less if some grognard says that Dom II is MoM II, but the grognards, the grognards...)
And of course, it would even more King of Fantsy TBS...
