Illwinter, are you keeping it multiplayer?

JimMorrison, I'm hardly convinced by your idea. It seems like you are simply saying "MMO but Dominions Themed." What I'd like to see is a "Dominions-like MMO." A Dominions-like MMO would be focused on recruiting computer-played units isntead of focused on the individual. Each person would basically be a commander of a small army, it would have to be totally different from a normal MMO for an MMO to be Dominions-like and that's what I'd want to see in a Dominions MMO.

I'd like to see MMOs with epic battles and I wouldn't mind it if the graphics were very 2d and lacking in a physics engine. It's the feeling of power you get. Very few games give you that. Instead of each player being a member of an army, each player IS an army (a commander of an army that is). I've yet to see a game that is in first or 3rd person where a mage can actually be powerful and summon an army of undead to do his bidding or destroy waves of units with battle, or be a small group of fighters and cut down 50 weaklings. No, it's always 2v5 3v7 4v2 2v1, small RPG battles. I want to see 300v500, 2v70, battles like that!

I want to be a mage that hides away in a dungeon slowly building his army out of clay men, gathering clay, gathering gems, etc, and then BUST OUT with 30 clay men and take a nearby province.

But, you could do that in my game. You could do whatever you wanted, with the tools that your chosen character has access to - including spending your time developing other tools, by acquiring gear to supplement your abilities, or by hoarding gems to Empower yourself, etc.
