What other games complement your Dominions 3?

why not Hearts of Iron II?

Hearts of Iron (the original) is just far, far superior to the follow ups in my opinion.

The game lost its soul to the new interface, just can't play HoI2.

Best WW2 strategy game I have ever played Hearts of Iron.

I don't play all that many WW2 games, but Gary Grisby's World at War is by far my favorite

Lets see...now Im playing:

Dawn of War (I never seem to get tired of this.)
Company of Heroes (love the Mp, even if its too fast.)
Eve online (For my space fix)
X3 (got to love building empires.)

I did play Dwarf fortress but it is TOO addictive!! It is an awesome game but I dont have the time to sacrifice. Thankfully Dominions is easier to pull myself away from. I think my girlfriend feels the same too haha.

Lets see, where is that sig I used to have?
Something along the line of "Don't complain about the processing time of Dominions. Its their way of making sure they arent sued for starvation, popped bladders, and lost marriages."

Dominions3 has eclipsed the playing most other games.

I dropped my World of Warcraft, rarely play Heroes of Might and Magic V, no longer play HOMM4 or HOMM3, rarely play Wesnoth, no longer play Master of Magic, Civilization, Stars, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Empire (1979), Tome derivatives, and so many others. Mule is still on my 1983 atari computer, but I would have to take it out of storage. Chess ruled from 1961-1982 but I never played in a FIDE or USCF national tournament after I was married. Chess programs have become far better than most humans, but I rarely play them. I like Lords of Magic SE in the late 1990's. There were several role playing games in addition to the strategy genre, but I am not going to list all of them.

I am still finding out new things about Dominions3. New mods, maps, game versions (add ons), player guides, forum / community, ect... just keep me coming back for more.

MULE! Thats a memory.
Did you know that Shrapnel sells a version of that called Space HoRSE?

I've thought about getting a copy of Space HoRSE-and I will, if I ever have any money again.

Yes I know that, and in the most recent Space HoRSE thread I commented that it too bad it is NOT available to MAC users.

MOO 2 was greatness. MOO 3 was, well, ok. I enjoyed it. Nothing like MOO 2 though.

. Agreed MOO2 was best, then MOO1, and MOO3 least.

I played many "epic" multiplayer games with MOO2 and HOMM3. These games ran for 12 hours or more non-stop (microwave ovens reduced food preparation to a couple minutes at the most and seconds to reheat coffee between turns). Being able to do your turn while others simultaneously did their turn was an improvement over other games where each player took one turn at a time. MOO2 is still an immortal but it is not available to MAC and can not be played on any of today's PC computers. I miss MOO2. Civilization, Europa Universalis, MechWarrior, Warlords 1-3, 4 was buggy, Age of Empires II, Starcraft series.

For the rpg's I also played Diablo, Diablo2, GuildWars, NeverWinterNights (very good), Dungeon's of Moria, Morrowind, and World of Warcraft, and more.

For Wargames I liked Allied General a lot (my son loved it also), and Operation Crusader.

There is a lot more, but it is late so I must be going.

if you can find it "masters of orion 2" is a hoot. for you older players close combat 2 is hair raising tension.(if your side is the poor allies). this only counts in head to head as the ai is stupid. Bwaha

I've got copies of MOO and MOO2. MOO2 is great! I used to have MOO3-I know, it's not very good, but I was fond of it-but one of the disks went missing, and I haven't found a replacement for it.
