Sure, small improvements to this system are welcomed. however I really don't want tac combat.
This will shift the emphasis from strategically to tactical, allow AI exploits and will hurt/kill pbem.
DOM-I is a great game. I would like to see it improve in Depth (more units, spells, nation etc) and less Micromanagement.

Actually Dom 1. is far from great. It is average.
It is a very simple wargame. More units and spells wont make it more complex.
IMHO with a diplomacy system, or with that weapon / armor system the game would have more potential. It is just a simple wargame now, as it is.
1000 different units? Seriously who cares? You wont use 90% of the units at all.
I dont really understand IW. Instead of the +400 new units they should add diplomacy just for example. Or anything strategical addition would be lot better than +400 units. (Yes, including the wep-arm system.]
This is why I wont order the game. I will try the demo, and wait for some add-on packs. If there will be any..
Right now I dont feel that I must preorder this game.
