The good tips won't come from the US players that already got it though but from those players who were in the beta.
QM, the best Dominions 2 player, is in the beta.

So for the first weeks after release you basically need to only listen to him. When the game is out a while Archs tips will be very important too, especially for longterm games

Heehee. Someone check this guys IP number against QMs

Cheers, i will keep a eye out for what the beta testers have to say.

I bet all the people who get the game first will have alot to say about it.

As a Dominions newbie i am going to struggle in areas like pretender creation, high lvl spells, combo's, creation of a supercombatent, what to do after turn 40...

Not asking any questions now, just discovering for myself while playing the Dominions 2 demo, tide me over until my pre-ordered Dom3 comes.

U guys should really advertise, I might have discovered Dominions sooner...

Read the manual. Even we haven't got our hands on it yet, but if you've read Bruce Geryk's walkthrough (guide to Dom2), you know that he can do fantastic guides. From what little I've seen, he is doing much, much, much better this time around. I think it will be a manual unparalled for years, worhsipped for decades, manual people see pleasant dreams of. Perhaps even a manual aspiring writers read for ideas.

Good luck for your games. And about the advertising - we do our best.
