Found it lurking in the newsgroup.

Re: from which source you heard of dominions (I/II)
 

Read a few comments on the .strategic newsgroup... so I downloaded the demo, found out it could run under Linux, and said, well, that kind of effort deserves a little bit of my money http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Unfortunately, the DomI interface being what it is, I didn't spend enough time with it to fully enjoy it; I guess I never really climbed the learning curve. With DomII, and a working 'net connection from home now, I expect to play it enough to get into MP games.

I've heard first of Dom1 on Unsenet csipgs, but wasn't hooked then, seemed too obscure and complex, and I not even installed the demo after getting it...
In fact I really started to play & enjoy Dom1 after a discussion on AOW:SM forum where the guys told war stories, this seemed soooo much better than the boring AoW battles I was having that I gave Dom a try...
This was just before Dom 2 was announced at Shrapnel's , 5 weeks ago http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif !

It has Posts from you too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Actually I was just noticing that thread in AOW Heavens forum before I started beta testing Dom 2. It felt kindda weird to see a mention of the game I tried (demo only) several months before and due to RL and high rate of addictiveness of the game had to stop playing it. The thread made me download demo again and shortly after I got invitation from Shrapnel to beta test sequel!

Re: from which source you heard of dominions (I/II)
 

Maybe because I was already beta tester for Shrapnel. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
