Voted for something other. First two are not that important for me, although well-done diplomatics would enchance the gameplay. I dislike the idea of allowing travel through your lands though, it doesn't feel right. Besides, what would happen if there was a fight?
Global market seems nice though, but what could you exactly sell? Gems and items? Gems might go fine, but how would you choose items?

Något Gick Fell's idea about the newspaper is good, but gossip of some kind would fit Dominions better. Maybe you would have to put commander to do the job. That would increase micromanagement, though, but there are some interesting possibilities as well... Micromanagement increase would be here because you would have to read what has happened, and assign many commanders to do the job, but another use for normal commanders would be quite nice too.

That was what I had in mind actually, a newspaper with lotsa gossip and silly ads - like "Sacrificial kit with portable altar and a set of obsidian daggers, virgins cost 10 extra gold each" - and a few lines about the big events that happen on the other side of the world.

The newspaper would have personal ads, of course. "Cute blood-slave seeks SWM for conversation, maybe more. +3 fear a bonus. No heat auras, please."

This is allready implemented, you can have names including numbers but not space.

The newspaper, while intersting (too much like IGN from MoO 1&2 for my tastes though) could rapidly become too cheesy and detract from the feel of the game. Though making it optional or skipable would alleviate that problem.

I don't see it an addition of major content though, but on the other hand it'd probably be easy enough to add in.

I think cold auras would be more problematic...
