No, but Dominions could insist that all files it read must be in miniscules only. It's the only way to make sure all the mods and such are platform independent.

In the long term, maybe, but realistically all that would do is make it so the mods don't work for anyone instead of just not working for linux users. Until they were all fixed that is. It would take less effort for linux users to simply fix the mods they want to play, or explain things to the mod makers, like me, who had no idea that some OSs actually cared about case.

Well it was pretty likely to enforce case since the game is created on linux. Its hard for the devs to consider all the possible cross-compatible features. Ive asked for the text files, such as .map files, to be dos version instead of unix. Personally I wish all the file formats were more cross-platform friendly.
