Note from Illwinter
 

Hi, and thanks all for your support and interest in Dominions 3.

The last week has been very rewarding and we are very happy to hear your comments. The post frequency has passed my ability to follow and thus I hope that you forgive us if we don't answer or read what you post. I havn't read through the forum during this weekend, and I soon realized that there is no way I will find the time to go back and read all unread threads on two pages, many of wich were several pages long. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

So don't feel bad if I don't comment your post in the forum.

Well, the last weeks has been very rewarding for use player also. =)

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Its ok Kris, we know that you lads try to keep up with the growing number of posts.

PS.

Tell Johan to take a look at the Modder's Wishlist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Actually, thats what I'm trying to say. I no longer try to keep up, as I have realized I will not be able to. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Whishlists, bugthreads etc will have higher priority, but I won't read everything anymore I guess. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Ah, KO, that's the price to pay for fame & glory !
Can't you hire some assistant to read the posts with all the money you'll get ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

BTW, tell the people of Dråm and Falsobordone that the soundtrack is awesome. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Interesting map. Took me a while but then I realized it seems to be based on some sort of Earth before the continents split. Is this the world where the Conan stories take place? I'm not that well versed so that's why I am asking.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

I think that you've posted in the wrong thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

As long as you make sure to respond to everything I say, I don't care if you ignore everyone else http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
Hehe, (obviously) I'm just kidding http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
We* appreciate the hard work you've put into the game, and understand why you can't be nice** and read everything we post http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif


*-Actually, I can only speak for myself, but it looks more cool and formal when I write "we"
**-GUILT TRIP! Again, I'm just kidding*** http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
***-I know its rather obvious, but you can't be too careful on the internet, sometimes a misunderstanding occours because communication is text-only.

That I did. It's just the Dominion. Phun'glyi ngh'afhw. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Better too much interest than the other way around, so long as it's not "bring the torches and pitchforks" interest.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hi folks. I'd like to add my thanks to all of you who have shown support for Dominions 3! It is great to get up in the morning and be able to read some positive posts about Dominions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thank you!

And I have seen the modders wishlist DomFan.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

You will see much more positive comments, once the rest of the lads will get their copies. I have some friends waiting to get their copy also. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

PS. Doms 3. is excellent, I love it...and the manual is fantastic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

So...

I just realized that you're one of the guys who made Dominions, eh? (ok, I'm a bit slow, and I am only just now reading the manual)

The game rocks. By extension, you rock.

My wife, on the other hand, now wonders what exactly I am doing at the computer at 4 AM on a weekday... And I have totally disrupted our dogs sleeping patterns.

But the game is terribly excellent and addictive (even though I suck at it).

Thanks, a lot.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hehehe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
I had the same problem with my girlfriend actually. She lives with me already, and sometime she found me playing Doms 2. TCP/IP at 3 AM. She was like "@#%$% #%^%$# #$#$!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hehe Dominions is especially evil in this regard because you have such big wait times for the turns of your mates and the turn generating time if you play SP.

So if you do some crap while waiting for the turn to generate this can lead to some "comical" situations if you try to explain that you have to do something while waiting for the turn to generate http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hehe, yeah. Ah well. This is just an extremely addictive game! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

I laughed when I quit a game of GalCiv2 and a little window popped up saying "Quit? A couple more turns couldnt hurt could it?". I thought MAN Im glad that Dominions doesnt have that popup. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Or worse yet, if Dom had one that says "but dont you want to at least check and see if that worked?" which is what really kills me. I start to check, then I make move changes, then I have to finish it and hit turn, then I want to just check it. Dominions is an evil game!

Im glad for hosting times. If it wasnt for that my pets would starve, my family would leave me, and my bladder would explode.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

But you could play Dominions in the hospital http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Cath bags are a godsend.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hmm, maybe someone could make good money by opening up clinic for Dominions addicts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Well hopefully that hospital won't be constructed in R'lyeh dreamlands. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

AMF:

Too funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Marketing wants to know if you will allow us to use this post to promote Dominions 3?

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Congratulations on every success. I'm glad your hard work is paying off and you deserve every bit of it.

Kudos to Kris and Johan.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Zen, you plan on joining us in our dom III games by chance?

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

I don't actually own Dom3, so I guess no. I just wanted to give Kris and Johan a pat on the back for their exhaustive effort and results.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Shur!

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Alas =) Would be interesting to see a battle of wits between the legendary strategist and Qm. (the ah ... other legendary strategist I guess)

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Kristoffer, Johan, could you please do me a HUGE favor and look into this thread and post there what you think? I know that you are very busy and do not have time to keep track on all topics in the forum, so I thought I should post it here.

It is a detailed analysis of Yomo - Oni Kings nation and its strategies, with main focus on MP games, together with some small suggestions of mine that I dared to make for your kindly consideration. This is new and quite different nation for the Dominion universe (nation whose idea I really like BTW, great job Illwinter!). So some balance abjustments can be expected in cases such as this, as you said yourselves some time ago IIRC.


So if you'll look at this thread and post your opinion, you would make one Dominion fan very happy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif


Here is the link to the thread.

Thank a lot!

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hi Zen, and thanks!

You're in the game credits you know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

---

Corwin - I have read through the post (and the comments). I must think if I have anything to add. You have some good points. Arralen's answer was quite good.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hmm. Well I guess I had better buy the game if I'm in the credits, also it seems you have a new crop of determined balance monkeys coming out of the woodwork. Someone should tell QM to get out here and explain with Arralen.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Hmm, I can proabaly coerce shrapnel into giving you a game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif You did contribute a lot in the 'pre-beta'. Besides, you're the only one that have ever sent us beer-money http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

QM is occasionally writing here, but I think he is somewhat preoccupied atm. He has been somewhat silent on the beta forum as well.

Also it is quite difficult to keep up with all new posts.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

That sounds like a hint if I ever heard one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
We miss you Zen, and your organizational skills.

By the way, you still have a login on my server and it was ported over to the new faster server with the password intact.

Re: Note from Illwinter
 

Now that sounds like a hint if I ever heard one Gandalfo. I like how you pick my complete worst skill ever to miss. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif What is your website for/about nowadays? Still slaves to one more turn? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif
