Dominions.....

[chrispedersen]

Since there will be no Dominion IV, and presumably few patches, as a way of spurring interest in the game is there any chance that the developers could sponsor an hour a week... a gathering to discuss various mechanics that players have questions about.

I know Kristoffer has kept the mechanics under wraps partly to give the players something to discover.

We could have a thread to make a list of topics. For example something like:

Week 1: Berserk. Does passing out remove berserk? What incurs fatigue when berserk?

Week 2: How are fear checks generated? What are the differences between Fear 30, and 50.

Week 3: Balancing. How much thought went into balancing the nations. What nations are overlooked.

Etc.... a different topic each week to provoke interest...

I think that for a lot of mechanics questions, JK would be the person to talk to, not KO. Well, KO could look at the code, too, but it's JK who programmed it. If you'd have a question about the historical or mythological references that something in Dom3 is referring to, KO is your man.

And yes, they probably both are pretty busy to drag some specific formula out.

If they aren't working on D4, what is illwinter up to?

I believe they are working on an RPG, or something of that sort. At least, I read that in the past.

Actually as far as I know, no answers count. Unless it comes from one of the Devs.
Anyone else involved in the project is bound by NDA's (legal Non-Disclosure Agreement).

I dont even remember if either of them have said "no Dom4".

This topica has been disucussed in the past on numereous occasions. IIRC, the forum concensus from the latest one was that their next project is a rocket-powered go-cart.
