Not sure about PPP, but Dominions 2 was released November 13, 2003.

Perhaps it could be good to add a short description of the game to the article?

Hm...no clue but I've started to play with it in late 2001.
I was a small kiddo.

*edit*


- I've just updated the Nations list in the wiki [I hope that I haven't missed any]
- Added the Eras
- Added some categories.

Morkilus has uploaded some pictures for the nations.

Other grammar corrections made.

Default What a great communtiy

Hi i just waked up and checked the dom3-wiki... I'm stunned, so much work was done over the night ! Thanks for fixing all my typos. I will try to make domPPP dom3 wikipedia entrys and dom1, dom2 and dom3 strategywiki-short-descriptions as soon as i find time / get dom3 in my hands. Sadly, i suck at short descriptions.

Does anyone remember this wonderful nation-discussion text for DomPPP and Dom2 ? Sadly, just a few nations were discussed, but in great detail, discussing advantages and problems as well as comparing with other nations and giving valuable tactic hints. I read those guides several times and always learned something new. Hopefully such nation discussion will find its way into the dom3 strategywiki...for each nation *shudder with anticipation*.

Concerning Dom 3:

- it "Ages", not "Eras" ..

- not every nation is playable in every age, as some disappear completely and others get replaced over the course of the history.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to give more details, at least before Oct. 2nd ... .

I would suggest, though, to join the wiki entries for "Eras" ("Ages", resp.) and "Nations".



- water magic doesn't allow going underwater any more ('was mentioned here on the forum somewhere) => God Design

Okay I've updated the wiki. Added sub-categories schools & paths of magic, merged the nations list and the ages, and fixed a few things.
