Do you think that removing all cheat detection means they are close to gold? Also, what is the significance of putting the operating system after the version number? Is that a good sign?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

Probably. It looks like balance and stuff coming from play-testing (like cheat detects). That means the testers are playing full games. Good sign.

I think the version thing with OS just means that he didnt do all the versions at the same time.

False Horror now level 3 air is a pretty major change. Should all but eliminate false horror spam.

I'm really surprised this wasn't implemented yet. I thought more powerful AIs already got more supplies. We know their large armies starved most of the time, but was the supply bonus just too weak, or was there a bug of some kind?

It's a good change, but I wonder why it hasn't been done earlier. Well, at least we got another update of the OMIWCOOL rank yesterday. Namely:

Bloodslave collection dependent on site frequency

Great equalizer.

Aslo, Agrajag, Soul Gate are still around. From posts it seems to be a special dominion of Ashen Empire (LE Ermor).

Does "manual input" mean they've actually started writing the manual or are they only coming up with ideas to put in the manual?

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

What do you mean by manual?
They had documentation in Dom2 but the best manuals were written by the players. And if you mean strategy guide then these forums are it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif It would take a strategy encyclopedia set to cover dom2 and it was small compared to dom3.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I'm talking about the paper manual that comes with the game. It's supposed to be bigger and better this time. I'm really looking forward to it.

Re: Dominions 3 development news
 

I guess that answers my question.
That does raise the question of how AE and SG coexist, their tales are of alternate endings for Ermor, they don't fit together. The only way that makes sense is SG being a theme of AE (or AE a theme of SG), but I thought themes were ditched in favor of eras.

Oh, and 2.94! W00H00!
