Word of mouth is absolutely the best endorsement a game can be given. Thank you to all of you who spread the word about Dominions!

Annette, perhaps Shrapnel or Illwinter should contact online gaming mags about Dominions 3, to post articles about it. Gamespy, IGN etc.

GameSpy and IGN haven't been posting much news about independent pc games recently (search their news archives for March '06 and be prepared to be surprised), but they both have put up pages for Dominions 3. You may be interested to search "Dominions 3 The Awakening" on Google. That will show you most of the online mags that have posted articles already.

And to confirm Annette's statement I have talked to the editor of Gamespy before and he indeed told me that they can only put stories up for the largest stories in their view.

I went on the website and posted feedback asking for information and a story about Dominions_3.

I was reading that Galactic Civilizations 2 was able to do so well on sales that they've planned two expansions for the game.

With Dominions_3 doing so well just to start perhaps we'll see Shrapnel offer a Dominions_3 expansion deal.

Expansion deal? Whats that, a cut-rate if you have Dom2?
Do they have the database to do that?

They might have to start tracking it in Dom3 to offer it with Dom4

Simply means if Dominions_3 makes enough sales that Shrapnel might make Illwinter a contract offer to work on an expansion game for Dominions_3. An expansion usually includes more content and features.
