OT: Would love to see Dom 3 on IOS.
Just started playing an MP game on my iPhone called Starbase Orion and, aside from the interstellar setting and overall much simpler mechanics, reminded me of Dominions 3 (moving armies around, researching, pre-determined battles based on tactical commands). I haven't been around these forums for a long time so its probably been discussed/dismissed, and suppose it's a pipe dream, but man, that would be cool to play D3 on an iPhone/iPad.

Re: OT: Would love to see Dom 3 on IOS.
indeed.
But it's light years away. Dom so heavily depends on MM & keyboard shortcuts & mouse. It's alien to iOS apps world.
Now, if it were to be simplified, MM reduced, controls adapted to touch screen gestures. Ahh, what a nice dream 
Perhaps dom-IV or CoE-IV would make this leap. Otherwise in a few years one would need to buy a laptop just to play dom (b/c I suspect that the laptop is going the way of the PC due to smart phones and tablets). |

The end of the economy as we know it.
I mean if people could play Dom3 in MP mode while they are at work then just think of all the mass firings.
I feel guilty enough just offering SMS (text messaging) of turn notices with email attachments of turns. That causes enough trouble with people who have computer access on the job.

Re: OT: Would love to see Dom 3 on IOS.
Most of my gaming these days is Euro style boardgaming on the iPhone on the way to/from work! I'll probably go prematurely blind from always reading 2 point font, but don't have much time otherwise. Oh to be a student again....

Re: OT: Would love to see Dom 3 on IOS.
Actually I want to play Dom3 on one of those new Microsoft tabletops. The whole top of the table is a big touch screen that lets you easily zoom in, or rotate, or move things around. I think it would be cool
