You mean like in Master of Magic? You want to be able to create an item by choosing what abilities it will have?

hmmmmm doesnt sound easy. Maybe we could get it in Dom3

Illwinter has a hit on thier hands here.
It does not make sense to add new features to it, just bug fixes, new maps, new items.....

A sequel on the other hand is a good idea for them.

I call it a Dom3 thing BECAUSE we just got our Dom2's. Some things would be "tweaks" taking things up a notch or down a notch to gain stability. Adding a function to a kepress, maybe a new way of being able to see your information.

Other things would be major additions. Even if they arent hard to do they could change a game from being "pretty close to balanced, just needs to tweaks" to being "OMG I never saw this possibility, how will I balance this"

You could kill a strategy multi-player game by adding the wrong thing into it. Im not saying this is a wrong thing, just that it could be way too unbalancing to be easily tested. When its a good idea but something that makes it a whole new game, then it needs to go on the wish list for the next Version. IMHO
