Will there be a Dominions 4

[PvK]

Oh, interesting about Kohan. I only tried the demo of Kohan II, not the original, and saw that although there was good work in it, I would hate it because of things like they way a unit representing a company of warriors could be killed down to 10%, then "healed up" to 100% with no loss of experience, and other typical RTS annoyances.

I _still_ play Bungie's Myth series (mostly modded multi-player), which is a (near ten-year-old) real-time tactical game, which I like because it allows focus on fighting without having to do research and resource-gathering at the same time at a completely-out-of-proportion time scale, which is one major element that makes me dislike most RTS games (that and ones where you can't pause yet your attention is needed in several places at once or your men get slaughtered without your control and you may not even get to see what happened to them - that tends to kill my interest).

Dominions 3 is perfect. Where could they go to next... Dominions in SPAAAACE?


please?

Heehee. Kristoffer does an amazing job of offering us variety. And thats while operating within some limits (known religio/mythology). Can you see what would happen if you turned him loose with NO restrictions such as alien lifeforms?

I think you'd be looking at potentially the greatest space 4x game ever! Imagine just applying the core Dominions stats in a SF setting...60+ alien races, 1500+ technology tree items, hundreds of starships, multiple tech ages...

A fantasy setting interests me a lot more. Magic appeals more to the imagination, and having heroes and commanding living troops gives more of a humanistic feeling. Commanding star ships is more science and logic then imagination, and gives you less of a connection with your troops. That is just my preference.

Christopher being a history person would be more likely to make another fantasy game I believe.

Ah, but what's that famous quote from Arther C. Clarke?

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

So there you go, a SF Dominions could be the equivalent of a new fantasy title.

Hmmm. So that means that all those dominion spells can get accomplished scientifically. Lets pick a spell. Flaming Arrows --> Get burning pitch. Tip arrows in pitch. Shoot arrow at target. See target burn. There! A high tech scietific approach to a dominions spell. perhaps you have a point.

Maybe we could visit R'lyeys home world.
