As I was playing the Dawn Map I wondered how a Dominions movie would be. It could easily be something as immense as Lord of The Rings but even better because there are more razes and nations with their own histories religions, gods, and so on.

I just hope someone out there buys the idea and makes something big out of it.

Well, how about starting with something a bit more low-key. Like, say, a Flash Comic series on the Web?

8Bit Theatre for Dom3? Yes please!

Then we release then Dom3 Music Album, CCG, RPG, RTS, MMORPG, FPS, anime, comic series, phone cards, calendars and tube socks(huh?).

Then, when we've enough capital, we can leverage more funds to deliver the coup-de-main in the form of Kris O's magnum opus - Dom3: The Movie.

It'll be to cinema what Wagner's Ring Cycle is to Classical Music.

Please...somebody stop me...

lol a comic would be nice but since it's not about individuals but about armies and you can't connect the different ages and how they get that way in one comic I think it would be hard to make it interesting and still feel like dominions...

Comics are about individuals.. Dominions is NOT about individuals

You could narrate from the top down (Pretender, the ultimate Deus Ex Machina) or from the bottom up.

After all, when sacrificing Mictlan Blood Slaves to spread Dominion, do they not bleed? Do they not have hearts that beat?

4 out of 5 Mictlan Priests say: "Yes, at least they did at the beginning". The 5th Priest was a Moon Priest, so it's debatable whether he understood the question in the first place

Good lord, LA R'Lyeh and Ermor are practically begging for a visit by Rincewind, Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography.

I did mention Samurai Cat and The Redeemer, didn't I?

Edited for poor spelling, the typing equivalent of wiping spit off the person you've been talking to.

I'd like to add why not Dominionclix? You know, those collectible miniature games? I mean c'mon, if HALO with about four different units in the video game rates their own clix game, how about Dominion's 1500+ units?

Dominions is about individuals! Just plenty of them

What is a clix?

A clix game is like...

http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/

Basically it's a miniatures game where instead of having a book with all the army stats/abilities in it, you have a dial on the base of each unit that you click one way or the other to represent damage.

Personally I think it's a little silly. I don't know if you've ever tried to play a minature game where you're suppose to be constantly picking up almost every fig on the map and then replacing them into exactly the same spot, but it's quite difficult to prevent disputes when the units go back down.

Aha! Then I've seen them. I got some kind of tiny heroine when I was at Origins.

I suppose it is easier than stacks of paper bits with units, numbers, conditions etc, though. I never played much ASL, but I have witnessed my friend's irritation over large stacks separated in mid by foxholes or building levels, adjacent to other stacks of similar configuration. But there is perhaps not as much disputes going on at least.
