Welcome fahdiz,

I hope you enjoy your time here in the Dominions 2 Forum. I'm still looking for my Domiderm Patch so I can get my Dominions 2 while I'm at work.

In the meantime, you might try looking at all the various resources availiable to help those who recieve a brand spank'n new game, in order to be fully equipped to get beat upon by friends and strangers alike http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thanks Zen, much appreciated. I've already downloaded the vast majority of helpsheets, worksheets, sheetsheets, and sheets related to this game...I grabbed everything I could from the Dom II Library. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Yes, I'm detail-oriented, and way too excited about my full copy of the game. I've played Ceremony's walkthrough a number of times, as well as striking out on my own with Aran and The Desert Eye. I've pored over General Tacticus' Mictlan AAR as well as the other game writeups on the forum. I've done a lot while I've been lurking. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Looking forward to receiving a thorough beatdown at the hands of the more experienced players on this forum. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Introduction...
 

Here's some advice (too late for you, obviously, but it might be early enough to save some money for someone else planning on buying this game...)

You should make sure you finish playing anything else on your drive/in your "new games" stack before you order Dominions2. I made the mistake of buying a few other games "in advance", and they're either sitting idle on my drive, or still uninstalled, since I got Dominions2. That was in, er, November. By the time I grow tired of Dominions2 as my only PC game, the other games will probably cost 15 Euros each instead of the 40+ I paid for them.

(And I've yet to really try to play... er... maybe 13 of the nations)

Re: Introduction...
 

The only other PC games I'm playing with any regularity are either Warlords IV, which is a fun diVersion when I need a break from thinking too hard, or freeware titles like Nethack, Slash'EM, Spirit Wars, etc. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif When the public beta of Archon: Evolution comes out (should be within a month or so) Dom II will have to share a bit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I have an Xbox and am frothing at the mouth for the upcoming release of Wrath Unleashed...so likely I'll be splitting my time between WU and Dom II.
