Diplomacy

Kel, I think it's unfair to imply or state that I am trying to mold the playing community into playing the way I want. If you've been reading my Posts, you should be able see that IMHO it's the game-long alliance makers that are limiting the options of the sole victory players, not vice versa.

But the most important point, as I said before, is:

People's ability to play Dominions ceased to be as relevant as their diplomatic reputation and willingness to join an alliance.

Dominions is a distinctive and interesting game in its own right, but if joint victories are the norm, then its individuality is lost and it becomes just another strategy game where biggest bloc wins.

I don't think I'm being manipulative in trying to point that out.
