Johan....you should make some replies in some other threads as well...IE. AI threads etc.

BTW Apoger, did you notice that Abysians have less precision than normal humans?

Some spells have less precision like Blade Wind(and i like it this way) or Star Fires (which i don't like this way) and some spells could use more precision(few Blood spells).

90% of the game will be about SCs. Just take a look at the pretender SC abuse.
Don't forget, we have many more problems other than these anyways.

I dont think you are likely to see a comment on the AI thread until people have had a chance to play the the full game. Without the turns limit people are more likely to play it with realistic settings and gain a whole new viewpoint. This might move the AI thing from being "big #1 problem" to "ok for now but could use tweaking"

I'm not used enough to Dom2 (wasn't even that used to Dom1 ..), but I think the main gameplay change comes from the reduced gold income, itself coming from the new tax/no patrol system.
I fear that Dom2 games will be rather "smallish" in terms of army size compared to Dom1, so focusing more on elite troops/SC (as many pointed out).
But conversely note that the reduced mm will allow us to play larger maps, thus giving nations more gold/resources...
So we've still to experiment, but surely we have to adapt - and changes are always unwelcome to old vets

I don't know, I love the whole layout of Dominions II. I love the demo as well, the only thing what I don't like is the weak strategic AI, but that's nothing new, since we're talking about this for days.

I am sure that the devs are checking the AI threads. If I remember correctly, Kris has posted something that he will play some games against the AI, after hes back. [He will be back today.]
So just wait and be patient.

The warlock apprentice is certainly not cheaper then a scout with a sanguine dowsing rod. The warlock apprentice is only recruitable in provinces with castles and labs.

I have been unable to recruit the apprentice but in the capital. Is it supposed to be that way?
