Re: Dom 3 Single-player - I don\'t get it..
Dominions maps already are too random for anything but totally pre-scripted maps to be feasible. If e.g. in first map you play early Ermor and become an empire, in the next game you have to reach a harbour-city and cross a sea to another land to escape the fall and cataclysm with small force of legionaires and no castle or pretender, the following, third map couldn't have Ermor in it. If Pythium is to destroy Ermor in the fourth, final, map/scenario, the possibility of Ermor being destroyed in the third map should be nullified. And Ermor can't just be made too strong to attack, because that would allow it to overpower everything.
Effectively, you can't have the nations own the same provinces in multiple games, so you'd have to either kill all existing nations in every scenario, or accept that something will change and limit the possibility of that as much as possible. However, very few scenarios have been made for DomII. It'd be nice to see some, but I doubt Illwinter will add any new features when the existing ones haven't been used that much. The ones I can remember are pre-set maps like Faerun that try to describe a pre-existing world, or those that try to make the AI more challenging.
