Thanks
I'm quite fond of the shaman myself. Getting other mages is great. I also have a weak spot for the troll king. Mum is my favourite
I prefer CoE to Dominions regarding single player. It is fast paced, and you come across lots of fun stuff. You die and it doesn't matter that much. Next game is equally fun.
For me Dominions is a bit to serious to play single player. I lack the patience to play Dominions as a SP game. MP on the other hand is great.
