Default Re: Can we help the devs?

And back to the original question...
the devs have shown interest in a number of things. You can search for Kristoffer and JohanK to see.
(Ohhhhh I've done that - been a lurker since February.)
But now that we have Dominions 3 on the horizon, it would be interesting to hear (from the devs themselves?!?) what we could help with. There are a lot of creative and talented people in the community, and who knows, someone might get a brilliant idea that perfectly captures an aspect the devs were looking fore. And I would think that everyone would be SO proud if their idea made it to the final Version.

I remember they were interested in people who are actually willing to TEST the things they kept saying about the AI's. A number of plans were developed for how the AI should decide to build castles or decide to build troops. I think one person finally decided to try and prove the troop building (play a nation as though an AI doing only the decisions in the formula) but I'm not sure how far they got

Yeah - the thread on the troop/castle-building-algorithm (thread) is an example of an idea that is backed up by a clean and scientific test.

I would like to state (perhaps more clearly than previous): This is not an "I wish this", "why don't the devs do that"... thread.
It is a reversed wish-thread: From the devs to us.

(hehehehe, if I was working on this awesome game, I wouldn't want any help - I would enjoy it too much to share But on the other hand: We do represent a resource that could be utilized.)
