What should the Illwinter developers concentrate about in Dominions II.?

Saber Cherry · #1 October 15th, 2003, 12:05 AM

This poll is a bit self-selective. Dominions I attracted only people who did not care much about graphics and sound, ergo, this poll show that people who anticipate Dominons II don't consider those to be priorities.

Fortunately, the Dom II graphics look pretty good, so I don't think it will repel many newcomers, like Dom I did. But I'm thinking an additional option, "Interface", would've gotten near 100% of the votes from Dom I players

As for single player, I'm not sure what that option means other than AI. Though a campaign mode could be interesting...

Looks like I am the lone vote for better graphics and such so I figured that I had better qualify that. When I first saw the poll I figured that it was asking what things we wanted the developers to oncentrate on in Dom2 compared to Dom1. I thought that the other categories were quite well covered in Dom1 and that the only areas that could really use some work were the graphics (I tend to lump the interface in there too) and the AI.

When I say graphics I do not mean a 30sec blood gout animation every time someone gets hit. What I mean is to allow these epic battles to look a little more epic, as opposed to the stunted gameboard shuffling that usually makes me ship the battle replays in Dom1. It seems as though Illwinter has done just what I had hoped.

As for the AI... well you can always improve on that.

Should re-run this poll a month or so after the game ships

. Would make an interesting contrast to what people think they need, versus what people actually get.

Of course, beta testers excepted

Okay, we will re-run this poll after the demo!

AI is still leading in this poll, I wonder what will change after the demo!:

AI 51% (18)

No entry for "Game balance"??? If there's anything I want the devs to focus on, it has to be balancing nations, units, spells and whatnot.
