Re: Press
I think it's definitely incumbent on us as Dominions fans to do what we can to spread the word ourselves. There are lots of little things one can do -- for Dominions II, I submitted reviews to two of my favorite sites (rpg.net and gamefaqs.com - both of which are still hosting them), blogged about the game in my livejournal, sent out a few e-mails to friends, and mentioned the game in the various web forums and communities I haunt where I thought it was appropriate to suggest to other potential players. I'd even suggest e-mailing various outlets and asking them to review Dominions 3 -- odds are I'll ask the Penny Arcade guys to take a look at it as it's definitely Tycho's sort of bag and that site has crazy influence among a certain subset of gamers.
In any case, I'm sure Shrapnel's doing what they can to get it out there and, to be honest, most games of Dominions' size are lucky to get a review at release, to say nothing of a preview. I thought it was amazing that Gamespot offered a review of Dominions II -- and it was that review which sent me over here a few years ago in the first place. So, here's to doing our part in the meantime.
