This would have been a lot better than dominions!

was thinking what could be done to make COE better and realise a lot is already in Dom, namely, customising player, able to create items, research spells.
Other things such as experience upgrades, build structures in cities, tactical control of fighting, i guess comes from playing MoM or HoMM. and ideas for leader's powers and racial ability is what i like most about COE, the creativity and variety

Thanks

I'm quite fond of the shaman myself. Getting other mages is great. I also have a weak spot for the troll king. Mum is my favourite

I prefer CoE to Dominions regarding single player. It is fast paced, and you come across lots of fun stuff. You die and it doesn't matter that much. Next game is equally fun.

For me Dominions is a bit to serious to play single player. I lack the patience to play Dominions as a SP game. MP on the other hand is great.

Kristoffer, if you are indeed working on a new game, I hope you are nearing completion (though I suspect you would have said something by now if you were), because Stardock seems to be having a hard time with their Fantasy 4x game and Dominions 3 (and COE 2) seem to share a similar target audience.

Dominions 3 requires a lot of commitment to play and I love the game, but have a hard time coming back to it because it is so multiplayer-oriented. The cheesed-out min-max fest that usually accompanies multiplayer strategy games turns me off, though I have had some fun experiences with Dom 3. And the time it takes to complete a multiplayer game makes it difficult to finish one.

However, COE is a game that I keep coming back to. Heck, I played it again last night. Like others here, I hope the next game is a mix between the two styles.

Cheers!
