I guess I could fit quite well into the SP crowd, having never played an MP game with anyone but my close friends. Online gaming simply takes way too much time to be of any interest to me.
And I fully agree that Dominions 3 can be mindnumblingy boring as the battle against the AI drags on and on. The lack of diplomacy means that the only interaction is war to the very last drop of blood. The ability to "win by pantheon" would be much appreciated.
Yet here I am, in spite of knowing Dominions 2 down to every last bolt and screw, and I can't see Dominions 3 as anything but one of the best fantasy TBS ever. For me the best part of the game is the customisation. I can't think of a game that's easier to mod.
Creating your own perfect enemy, tailormade to take advantage of the AIs strengths, is almost too much fun. The last mod made the CBM look like a tiny footnote in comparison. Heck, it got so bad that I couldn't remember what I hadn't changed. So I started over.
Change everything.
