Default Re: New cover?

Boy! You guys see something totally different than I do. I see an angry God looking down on his world. It really doesn't bring sci-fi to mind to me. More omnipotence.

Anyway, the cover performed VERY well in market testing. The whole idea of a cover is to get people to "look" further and not just pass it by. This cover performed in the 90 percentile at doing that.

Just the fact that there is so much 'discussion' on the cover makes us feel good. If it didn't garner any response we would be worried...

I like the cover, but i still say that it should have been "Dominions II", not "Dominions 2".

As a matter of fact, it should say Dominions II instead of 2. That's been decided as the official title.

Can it still be fixed?
This is the only thing that bothers me in the cover, and since it should be Dominions II not 2...

I do! Of course, this is not important, but I still like II more than 2. It is a question of style. Dominions is more in the old than in the new, and II is older than 2. Well, I do not know any years, but II would have been used in the time Rome was the important nation. That is, before the cataclysm.
Besides, II is more exotic than 2. For me atleast.
