SOPHISTICATED DOG SHIT
I was just sitting around thinking about all these RvR style sandbox MMOs in development when an idea hit me.

I was thinking about Dominions IV, a 4x game where you have really powerful spells you can cast that alter the entire world (or at least that's what I'm told, I've never actually played the game). I assume its things like a pestilence that reduces food generation but I've also heard of powerful AOE spells that can decimate entire armies if you research and cast them at the right times.

I feel like Crowfall could almost incorporate an idea like that into its game design. Worlds end and restart already.

When I daydream of memorable RvR moments its things like defending sieges outnumbered or having really close battles over key strategic areas. It would be pretty awesome to have another dimension that is barely holding off an attacking force until your mages channel some ridiculous AOE fireblast that kills everyone. Or strategically casting a global enchantment that targets and exploits weaknesses in an enemy factions resource generation.

Balancing them would be a task for greater minds than mine, but that's my probably terrible idea.

I'm gay.
