Finding time to play....

Time to post the warnings again? Didnt that make it into the demo?

WARNING: this game is NOT suitable for students, interns, apprentices, or anyone else who is expected to pass tests on a regular basis. Do not think about Dominions strategys while operating heavy machinery. The demo has built-in protections which should not be bypassed. They are for your health as much as for monetary reasons. Do not begin on the full Version without first making arrangments for someone to check on you daily. If you find that your game has continued for more than 36 hours straight then you should consult a physician immeadiately (Do NOT show him the game!)

Awhh Im only half serious.
But you know everything has its pros and cons. The game is a GREAT PbEM game. Its almost impossible to even try to explain to people about it being a game where you do one turn a day, and thats enough to keep you playing.

I currently play in 4-5 PBEM and sometimes a few single player test games. I run my own business as a Controls Engineer -Industrial Automation (boring PLC ladder logic programming should have learned more C++ so I could program more interesting things like games!) I usually work 8-10 hr days and have no problem finding 1-2 hrs to make my turns. My secret? I do not own one single TV. Throw out those idiot boxes (TV's) and you would be amazed on how much more time you have available.

Unreal Tournament 2004. It's a cream dream. The deathmatch is still just a notch below quake 3, but the CTF and bombing run, let alone onslaught, are fantastic. The graphics are also astounding. The series was good with 2003, now it's great.

I have a TV, but have no time to watch it.

Maybe we should start "Dominions addicts" therapy.

being without a tv helps.

honestly though, the whole MP thing is the reason why I like this game so much, exactly because I don't have 5 hours at a time to blow. So I do MP games with a turn every day or every two days, which takes anything from 15 minutes to 30 minutes (ok occasionally longer, but only occasionally) because I don't have much time.
