How much do devils reduce your dominion?

No wonder seriously religous folks find games like Dominions disturbing.

I'm just catching up on back Posts. Don't mind me...

I probably qualify as 'seriously religious', being an evangelical protestant, and I find few things about Dominions 'disturbing' in an 'I'm not going to let my child play this' context (not to mention the fact he's only eighteen months old). It's an amalgamation of mythological-style characters and cultural prostheses. Of course it's gonna have devils and blood sacrifices. The most disturbing thing to me is the entire 'pretender' concept, but since it's based on an entirely mythical setting (and an extremely good gaming engine to boot) it doesn't provoke my religious fervor. That sort of moral quandary comes more from things like paint-by-numbers Holocausts or somesuch nonsense. It's like saying that Lord of the Rings promotes the occult, or something.

Just two cents. Ignore as desired.

Oh no, in the LotR newsGroups its that it promotes racism which is the Casian Barbecue (way too flamed to even be funny anymore)

Now I realize humor when I see it, but come on... first you'll need to qualify virginity, as in when do you become a virgin, cuz if you're born one, your insinuation is well, sicker than usual

If you only apply virginity to the age where you become fertile (or a woman or whatever...) then you're probably right...

I live in Las Vegas. Virginity is like a Multi-million Jackpot. You hear about it, see it advertised and you know that someone has to win it sometime out there. But you don't like the odds.

So that's it! No wonder you Posts are weird: You're a Starspawn priest (with random pick in Blood Magic).

The otherworldy intelligence(?) not mixing with us non-tentacled beings of this miserable rock and all that...

Then again, you might just be very stupid and brave (and feebleminded in just a few seasons).

Void Gate really gets to you. But you might get a nice pet on your kitchen table - that Thing with Many Eyes, to stare away non-wanted guests. I know I'd like that.
