New cover?

[LordArioch]

I honestly like the old cover more, but from a perspective of drawing attention I can see why the new one would aid in marketing. Note that I think there's a trend of the people newer to dominions to like the new cover and the dominions 1 fans to like the old one. I could be wrong...but it seems that way.
I think its largely either the all blue scheme or the white lines all over the world that most give it the sci-fi look. But keep in mind the old dominions box looked nice with the old dominions interface...the new interface iself has a new color scheme.

I, too, think the style of the Doms I cover was a much better fit, and more to my own tastes. There are also plenty of eye-catching ancient/medieval images which could've been used.

As for marketters... well, if they want some attention from the cover, there are some nice controversial medieval images of battles with heaps of chopped up bleeding corpses and stuff.

yes that, or the drawing of hell from medieval artists, with tortured bodies and demons everywhere...

[Taqwus]

For demonic imagery, the works of Hieronymous Bosch might be a good starting point... possibly too disturbing and and too PG-13 for a computer game cover 'tho.

The dom 1 cover is a Hieronymus Bosch piece.
