Default Re: Dom 3 Single-player - I don\'t get it..

Actually, every game of Dominions is a whole campaign.

One should not get fooled by the fact that there are single commanders and heros - Dominions happens at a much more strategic level than Wesnoth or Age of Wonders or whatnot.

And concerning the replay value: I'm not sure if a campaign with a fixed order of scenarios really adds replay value. You would only get to play the same battles again if you start anew, wouldn't you?

Illwinter is working on making the AI more challenging, as far as I understood, including but not limited to building castles and more heavy national troops.

If we'll get random opponents (what shouldn't be too hard to do) on random maps, that would add much more replay-value then a set of canned scenarios, at least for me.

edit: forgot to mention the random maps
