OT: Dominions II

[Master Belisarius]

Has someone played this game?
I was playing the Demo, and really enjoyed it.
Looks like a great game to play by mail.

For grognards aficionado only, not for the faint of heart !

Really this game have everything! Yea, it's a lot better than MOM (IMHO of course!), and for a newbie like me, the AI was fairly good.

That game is much more complex than SE4. But I bet in a few weeks I'll start getting bored slaughtering the AI. But I haven't tried gigantic maps yet.

That will mean : time for humans to learn to fear the name of Cthulhu !

I played Dominions I for a few months before (and after) Dominions II, and my record against the AI so far is looking like it will be about 2 wins and 2 losses. Though in the two games I lost, I was experimenting a bit. I tend to enjoy "roleplaying" my side more than just trying to be as potent as possible. Difficulty can be turned up via the settings, and your empire design.

I've still only tried playing a fraction of the available nations and themes, and I'm still constantly running into new units, spells, tactics and situations.

Been playing the demo Last couple of weeks and liked it enough to purchase. Now for my sick lil PC to get well (I hate MS Winders VXD errors!)

Oh yes, Dominions II is a fantastic game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Especially with the new Versions adding all sorts of great moddability! Its got so much variety, as well as a good premise, its just fun. Dom2 and SE4 are my fav games...
