What could we steal from other fantasy games...

What are you on about? There is no diplomacy in SP. There's a degree of AI behaviour anticipation, in that you can fluff up your army size statistic or PD up your borders,.. but there's no usable diplomacy whatsoever.

It depends on if you play RPG or not. in RPG its still a diplomatic action even if the AI doesnt use diplomacy back.

And the AI diplomacy to other AIs is definetly a large factor in SP games that use it.

And as for not abusable,... just send the AI a load of bane venom charms.

Ahhh I thought we had fixed all those. I should run some tests on bane-charm

A save system.

Lots of games of many genres have one, they're awesome. Pretty cool in D3 too. Too bad the only form it exists in is a mod that explodes if you play the game in fullscreen mode.

The "saves" are basically linux mode (which the game is created on). The ports to more "user friendly" hand-holding systems such as windows and mac tend to lost it.

But there are quite a number of saves available. Not just some mod. I think Ive made 3 different versions available myself.

Let us know what your OS is and what you mean by "save" and we can probably help you out.

The ones that come to mind are:
shortcut-icon
bat file
python program
java

and saves that come to mind are:
save of the game you are entering
save of the game you are playing each turn
multiple back-saves of game you are playing each turn
save of all games every time you start dominions 3
save/restore (a desktop icon to take you back into the game you are playing)

A few cutscenes, like an opening one at the beginning of the game, would be nice.

Hmmm, cutscenes. Maybe someone could make a movie out of the LOLCats thread?

I don't generally like the LOLCats meme, but some of the Dominions-related humor in that thread is actually quite funny to me.
