Not much of a Dominions fan I guess, lol.
Don't even know what that is. But either way I dislike multiplayer and prefer my strategy games to go slow and slow. My preferred game settings are the largest map a mod can provide and the slowest game speed. And I disable quick victory conditions such as cultural and time in favor of conquest, domination and space race or their equivalent.
Civ 4 MP games could be completed in 2-4h on blazing timer, depending on number of players. A remastering of Civ 4 should keep most of the core design, but fix a few things:
That sounds horrifying. A 2h game of CIV is like... well frankly it's like the strategy equivalent of

Also, I am not a fan of fixing old exploits like the gold thing. Actual interface bugs like the alt key thing should be fixed because those are bugs. But exploits need to remain in the game because they are part of the charm. It's like if you were doing a remaster of an old tape of some ancient rock god or another and you noticed he missed a note. You wouldn't fix that. You'd leave the mistake in because it has become part of the performance.
Same with "rebalancing". I absolutely hate it when remasters change the balance and mechanics of the game they are supposed to be updating. It's simply no longer the game I enjoyed at that point but a new game wearing its skin.
If a CIV4 remaster was to come out my wish list would be in order of importmance:
1. Full mod compatibility with CIV4. This includes a fully released DLL and code designed such that absolutely no changes are required to make old art and code work with the new version.
2. Support for modern computers with more RAM and better CPUs. Serious multithreading beyond just the bare bones is great if they can do it but probably not realistic.
3. Fix various actual bugs like the stuck ALT key or the stuck arrow key for scrolling.
4. Better support for modern resolutions and stuff so that the game does not reset its graphics options every time I change mods.
5. Add BUG as one of the mods packaged with the game like Charlemagne or FFH were with BTS.
6. EVEN MORE OPENNESS FOR YET BETTER MOD SUPPORT.
And nothing beyond that.
