Wish-List for Dominions 4

[SCKnight]

My wishlist is this (some of my wishes, people have already stated):

1) The ability to customize your nation and Pretender. I want to pick what my Pretender's titles are! The nation can be default one that has been altered or one that you created from scratch.

2) The ability to spare another nation's Pretender. This lets you create a pantheon. In fact, I hope they have a feature where you can actually create a pantheon of allied pretenders for a nation, or choose to play a single pretender. For example, I might have my Ulm's Virtue spare the life of Mictlan's Enchantress, making the Enchantress a member of a new Pantheon for Ulm.

3) The ability to create a hero. I want to create a hero that is unique.

4) Diplomancy: This would include such things as alliances, trades, and spying.

5) I want to be able to create unique buildings. For example, as Ulm is my favorite nation, I want to create the Iron Statue, a statue made of black iron that grants a morale bonus to all my forces in the providence it's in, and any 3 neighboring areas.

6) Allow us to purchase and download the game!

Basically, everyone's already mentioned some of my wishes already.

Have you tried modding, SCKnight? You can get pretty much all of points 1, 2, 3, and 5 with some creativity. 4 already exists, but you have to play with other people 6 has been shut down repeatedly by Shrapnel. Well, maybe for Dominions 4, but don't hold your breath.

Oh yeah... You can get a building that raises the morale of troops in the province, and eventually that of surrounding provinces. It's called a "temple"

I'm not really that good with modding. Still, I can't wait to see what Dominions 4 has in store for us!

I would like an option on the menu screen to make all AI's allied.

Speaking of meteorite guards and their heavy armor, it would be nice if there was a "Bulky" creature ability or class of armor that would grant normal movement in the air, but half movement under the water, and a "Finned" ability/class of armor, that did the opposite.

If you can breathe under water, it hardly matters if you're 10 feet from the surface, or 50 feet, except for questions of water pressure. Heavy metallic armors would actually be useful, since they would help you be more stable and less affected by currents, buoyancy, and momentum.

It would also be useful to have creatures with the ability to "fly" under water-I've heard this did exist at one time, but no longer does.

You can pick one or two. There is a pretty good space there. When you name your god you can name him "Brik, the SuperCombatant"

2) The ability to spare another nation's Pretender. This lets you create a pantheon.

In multiplay nothing stops you from doing that. In solo play you can create a pantheon to play against by creating a map where the AI's are allied (they wont attack each other). If you mean that as a human player you want to grant subservience to an AI pretender then thats kindof possible by using higher magics such as wish

3) The ability to create a hero. I want to create a hero that is unique.

Already in modding commands. Check out the Worthy Heroes mod which does a few for every nation.

4) Diplomancy: This would include such things as alliances, trades, and spying.

Already a big part of the game. It is a multiplayer game mostly. Putting it in a menu would only limit it. As a human playing solo you can send things to the AI (which can be useful) but any effort to open human/ai diplomacy and trading only opens it up to be abused.

5) I want to be able to create unique buildings.

available in modding commands

6) Allow us to purchase and download the game!

Its not really a "allow" thing. You can purcase/download some of Shrapnels games but its not really feasable for Dominions at this time. But obviously Shrapnel keeps up on the subject so things might improve in the future for digital downloads.
