That sounds even more unlikely.

Improved scripting would have to be the number one gameplay improvement left in Dominions, I reckon. It is so frustrating to have units doing stupid things, and while there is an artform to having your units do what you want them to, it poses a massive barrier to new players.

To be honest a complete overhaul of the scripting system, blacklist, and army AI would be enough to justify a Dominions 4 just of itself, I'd happily pay the price of a new game if that improved substantially.

As long as we're on hypotheticals here, I wouldn't mind seeing a way to employ a non-square formation for a squad (in particular, a row formation would sometimes make much more sense).
