How turn Dominions from a niche game to an MMO

[Gandalf Parker]

But WAIT.
Now that you are here can I throw out one more?
How about a phone app? Or let me play it on my iPod?
THAT is the NEW future.

You know, a portable hardcore TBS would actually be pretty cool...

AND multiplayer.
The PBEM structure might support that well. Most of the cell phones that could play such an app also support email. If the hosting could run on any linux or win server that can receive emails, and the client program would run as a cell phone app, that might be powerful. Small client just for turns, huge server run hosted game. (might get people fired from their jobs but thats not new for our games anyway)

I already support text messaging cell phones "game XXXX hosted, your turn is ready" for Dom3 games.

They could probably do that with the cloth map version of Elemental if the market is there.

Forum is wacky today. Sorry for the double post!

Heehee. If I was a conspiracy theorist Id be suspicious.
Necromancy occurs on the subject of official servers.
Conversation starts getting heated.
Suddenly as have a down day where all the shrapnel servers go blonky.
Conversation about wanting an official game server dies off.

(oops, I may have violated my shill contract by saying that)
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SHRAPNEL DID THAT ON PURPOSE.
I just thought the timing of it was good conspiracy material.
I cant believe some people didnt jump on it.

OH and while Im disclaiming I should officially add
TOLLUND IS NOT MY ALT for trolling or playing Dom3 games in ways I would normally not play.

It is pointless to deny that at this stage Gandalf, the proof is overwhelming.
