And thus the Illwinter Cult was formed...

Yep, sign me up. I'll cook meals, wash windows, sweep floors, eat bugs, toil bareback in the fields, and sleep on yonder woodpile.

The really scary thing to ponder isn't how many people would show up in Sweden, it's how many of us would work for Illwinter for no pay.

> I believe we'll be seeing a Dominions_4 since I'm sure the devs were very pleased with the income which arrived from Dominions_3.

Unfortunately neither of us are that interested in money. Money is nice, but I wouldn't really know what to do with it. I like HoneyBadgers cooking suggestion though

A nice meal is a nice meal, no matter how much money you have.

Actually I prefer positive feedback to money. I earn enough money on my daytime job. Of course I can get a lot of positive feedback from work as a techer as well, but a nice review or some nice posts here makes me happy

That might be a confusion to many but I totally understand it and agree.

Well if praise is what you want then its what your gonna get KO, this game is a true wonder and i'd be happy to come over if i was a little older.

Actually actual AI could be designed for dom 3's nations, However it would be seperate AI for each one. Several threads of data for each one would be much easier then designing an overall AI for the complexity.

Well, Kristoffer, I definitely love the game. It's a superb effort that should only be improved upon because it's such a fine program to begin with, not in spite of or because of any problems or failings. I consider it the best of it's genre out there, and I've played a lot of games. There are ways it can be better, and I want it to be better, but that will be icing on the cake as it were.

I'm interested in the game improving because I enjoy the game as it is right now, and because I want the opportunity to pay for Dom4 someday.

I'm also an excellent cook with 25 years semi-professional experience, specializing in Italian and Asian cuisine, fish and seafood, and the preparation of roasts.

Well here are a few ideas for using money:
1) Personal Maid for cleaning and cooking... even if the maid visits only once a week.
2) Contract someone to do all the developer tasks you don't like doing... some examples might be creating sprites, making battlefield maps, public relations, legal issues or whatever.
3) Organize a contest trilogy consisting of a MP game contest, Map creation contest and Modding contest. The winner of each contest receives a money reward via paypal.
4) Make a donation to your current religion.
5) Organize a local contest of your favorite sport or hobby with rewards.
6) Buy new laptops and go traveling... thus allowing you to work while traveling.
7) Buy more land for where you live or want to live

...tell us your daily habits, hobbies, and events then we'll be able to suggest even more ways to use money.

I have a wife so I do need to work for a living (she makes more than I do, but we're still poor), but if the offer was right, I'm sure my wife and I would be willing to move to Sweden and I could cook for you personally. I can cook a lot better than Nt Jedi's maid, that's for sure!

I wouldn't be too explicit about your daily habits, by the way. We don't want some of our more fanatic forum members stalking or kidnapping you-and yes, I have a very suspicious mind.
