Rolling back this conversation a bit:

C) there is another project in the works

Does Gandalf know something we don't? IS SOMETHING NEW PLANNED!?

I will only approve if Bogus is somehow involved...

[Gandalf Parker]

Actually Kristoffer dropped it abit back but many people missed it.

I like the comment about Bogus though. Apparently you know something of the history of Bogus pre-Dominions.

oooooooo i want details details !!!

I want details too, anything comming from illwinter team cannot be missed!!
I blatantly agree on MMORPG, who are RPG because you have a character with stats (original !) and who sometimes even fail to be MM, like valandil said. ( so elves can sometimes be right, Ooo, strange idea..)
I call for a big protest walk on Big Profit Inc.(with ropes n' guns)(n' axes)(n' small sharp pieces of metal..)

[Kristoffer O]

MM? What does MM mean.

Are you complaining about Guild Wars Valandil? GW was a very good game, at least from a PvP perspective. I've spent 1-2k hours on it. Mostly in team arenas with JK, my brother and a finn of half my age . Most bang for the buck I've ever had game-wise. I've probably played more GW than I have played dominions.

Let's not forget the random map generator and the game editor. These greatly add to the replay value.

Artificial Intelligence
For best AI results I recommend multiple personalities with a scriptable AI thus new personalities can be added to the random selection or existing ones improved within the community. Any AI personality script should have the option of being disabled in case it's bugged.

Random Item Formula
Also besides adding your favorite fixed items I'd suggest creating a Random Item Formula = Allows items within the game to be more unique and thus increases replay value.
Examples = Variables A, B and C are randomly selected from separate lists.
Kings(A) Poisonous(B) Axe(item) of Death(C)
Ice(B) Knife(item)
Dukes(A) Helm(item) of Minds(C)
Fire(B) Boots(item) of Speed(C)

Using a random item formula means each new game will have new unique items!
Forging items can also be incorporated where an average axe and old skull will allow a necromancer to forge a death axe.

Personally, I'll put in an opposing vote for "not Diablo."
