and yet another newbie to help the dominion community grow
I'm a student(as in uni not high school) and a big fan of strategy games(both RTS and TBS). previous TBS games I played include: Civilization(both activision and sid meier's), Heroes of Might and Magic(2 and 3, never got further than that), Total War Series(especially Rome), etc. RTS games I played include: Age of Empires(1 and 2, not 3), Starcraft, Red Alert, Supreme Commander, Axis and Allies, etc.
I've only recently stumbled upon Dominion, from a rather obscure game review on a total war fan site(was on the 6th page or so of game reviews
) it sounded interesting and promising so I got the demo and instantly got hooked. than I found this site, and especially Baalz's guides and now I've ordered the game. should arrive sometime next week(I'm in Europe, not the US) and than I'll finally get to play more than 30 turns and all the nations+eras
.
now, if you guys don't mind I'd like to ask for some friendly advise. I usually prefer smaller but more powerful armies, with plenty of magic too. so early era seems like a good place to start, but I'm still at a complete loss as to which nation(s) to start with. tried all the demo ones, but they're all incomplete(all research limited to lvl 4, and of course only 30 turns) and as I said I read all of those guides Baalz put up in his sig, and a few others from other people. so in theory I already understand terms like SC, Thugs, etc. so now all that's left is to pick a few nations to start things out with, and hopefully get good on, so I can take them from single player to multiplayer and join the real fun.
