Probably only Gandalf and perhaps Boron (IIRC) would play with 1500 provinces

JK reports that scrolling is a bit slow with 1500 provinces, but otherwise it seems to work fine.

Yeah Boron will be insane enough to try such a game probably .
More important than the province limit is though the unit limit, may i ask how large it is in Dominions 3?
Imho the unit limit was the biggest flaw of both former Dominions. If you tell me that Dominions 3 has a unit limit of 1 million units or even higher i am happy and will buy Dominions 3 immediately when it gets released .

nice that you can see what gems the commander is carrying just by looking at the front of the unit... hopefully this includes magic items - no more endless searching for that missing hammer, I'm guessing

Unit limit on main map or unit limit on battlefield?

Dominions 3 is coming along nicely. JK is sitting beside me at our new Mac and experimenting with a random map of 1500 provinces. Not that 1500 provinces is a setting I would reccomend, but it is good for testing purposes. His Ageless Olm pretender is apparently missing a description.
Hey there Kris!
1500 provinces?!

Hmm, snowflakes falling in the deep sea and still no signs of obstacles on the battlefield. The overview screen looks nice and seems much more informative/useful: Scale strengths without mouse hovering, army type overlays, gem pouch displays,.. Neat!

Two important screenshots are still missing though: The tactical setup and the keyboard shortcut infoscreen...
