Dominions: Total War

PsiSoldier · #1 April 1st, 2009, 02:25 AM

Here is something cool. I recently had a chance to talk to one of the designers of the Total War games and mentioned how I always wanted to see a Fantasy version of Total War. I suggested he take a look at some games like Dominions 3 and see if they could apply some ideas from it for a Fantasy Total War game.

Then the other day he gets back with me and says he played Dom 3 as did several others on his team and they really liked it and thought a lot of it could work with Total War and they were considering contacting the Dominions developers to see if they would be interested in joining them to work on a new Total War title.

It sounds pretty cool to me, I hope it works out.

Oh
My
God

I have lascivious fantasies of this. Ever since the day I started playing Dominions, I have dreamt of a union of Dominions and Total War.

Gah..... Now I won't be able to sleep until I either hear there will be no project, or it is complete.

This would be pretty amazing to see. But why is this thread in the multiplayer forum...?

BTW - If this is an April Fool's joke, I will stab you in the throat.

I was gonna suggest having a look at the calendar, but you beat me to it, Jim.

I was just saying to a friend the other day how the game mechanics of the Total War series crossed with an intellectual property that was actually -interesting- like Dominions would be one hell'uva game. I'll be following this thread with interest

Edit: Ah, April Fools. How you continue to torment me..

It was here because I think the MP forum gets a few more views than the other ones do and so it was a better place for an April Fools joke..

I sure would like to see a Fantasy version of Total war though and one taking inspiration from Dom3 would be even better.

That or an Earth: Total war that covers the entire globe and spans across The rise of Rome through the centuries to the 1800's or even beyond. Which I think we are likely to see next as it appears they have just been laying the ground work for such a thing with Empire and their previous games.

Hmm, there were a lot of effects in Medieval2-Kingdoms and the engine seems to support multiple attack forms and Army Buffs. Maybe you could already mod some mages as heroes into it? Damn, must resist the urge to reinstall.
