A couple? I'm only aware of Gabriella, which worked on Bogarus. And AFAIK she was a student of KO and could likely have graduated by now, I'd think.

I thought KO was a student himself?

[Ballbarian]

KO is a teacher.

my dream for dom4:
open source the game engine. Find a clever way to finance Illwinter for content creation (and coding).
Note that content (sprites, storys, description, events etc) does not have to be open source.

High level spells for masking your army size or making it look bigger than it actually is might be interesting too.

I think the chance for a dom4 would be some bigger developer taking up the concept, hires Illwinter with fulltime salary and gives them a team of programmers and graphic designers to do the tedious work.

Not impossible is it? I have no idea how Illwinter would think of becoming less "independent" however, and we might be better off with another truly unique game than them being sucked up in big business.

And i am soo damn curious about their current project, when? WHEN DAMMIT?

Waiting for that and Overgrowth.

You mean, like Aaron, Strategy First and the Space Empire V debacle?

Excellent example IMHO

I haven´t tried SEV.

I wasn´t trying to imply it would be a good way, just the most likely since Illwinter seems unwilling to undertake a dom4 project themselves.

What I´d really *like* to see is a good "dom4" open source community project.
