You could make a race of crabpeople who live in the center of the Earth. They're too frail to fight humans directly, so they make an incredibly detailed strategy game that hooks everyone in. In time, they drive away the brightest 10% of the players, leaving the remaining 90% to share its ignorance, becoming steadily less intelligent (and overweight from too much gaming) until the community becomes too fat, stupid and lazy to prevent the crabpeople's rise to dominance. You could even call the game Dominance just for the sake of irony.

A "revival" of Jazzepi's Lodum mod (great concept, but no spritework)

How about you put your money where your mouth is? Ideas are worthless.

Hmmm an aquatic race that people will actually let into a game might be good. We could have a lot of discussion on that. Or maybe a separate thread for that. (luckily you are on this forum)

But I think most of the complaints about water nations is more about the map than the mod

Yes, maps are the problem. There are no good water-based maps out there.

[Gandalf Parker]

There are some. But if a water naton entrenches itself then one of the only ways to get to it is by dominion. I feel that maps with smaller waterways is best to allow that. And it also allows units such as Admirals to function

[Admiral_Aorta]

i had an idea for a water nation. then i actually made it into a mod!!! wow, what effort

[Admiral_Aorta]

heres an idea: make a thread of ideas with no intent of actually ever doing anything. you'll be the coolest dude ever

[Soyweiser]

Well, it isn't the ideas that bug me, it is the lack of work. Only one line isnt a good idea. It is just a random thought. I want to see results. [category:talkytalkproject]

I don't think anyone has called you out on this comment yet, so here I go getting involved when I know I shouldn't. Your density is astounding. Unitgen is probably ok for SP, but is intended and actually works as an MP mod. There are several games running now with that mod and it has been a tremendous success. To dismiss this project in the way you do demonstrates the depth of the disconnect between you and all the creative people you have helped run off of this site.

Vets and regulars to this site will probably already have made up their minds, but new people should look at the invision site and compare the two. I continue to regularly check this site, but the other one has far more active and knowledgeable contributors, and is open to all. The banning from this site of many of those people created the need for that site, and has actually helped that site to become the better place for all things dominions, especially modders.

imho
