Wild Bill, the Teacher of Philosophy, the Leaflord, great ruler of Pangaea has lead his people to victory.(I think that's how it goes)

Just finished my first game, and I love it. Centaurs still crush the opposition. Oh and I like the bubbles underwater.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Just wanted to mention, briefly, that my 25th of September order arrived here in Oregon *and* after half an hour spent reading the manual, little typos and all, Bruce?

You're a hero.

My partner, she's going to hate me for weeks if not months. In a few thousand years I'll, with the assistance of this manual, be able to finally have my butt kicked by some of the champions that stuck with Dominions II and know every cranny and nook.

Did I mention that you're a hero?

Tutorial this weekend. *wink and grin*

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I KNEW IT! I JUST GOT MY COPY!

Also, after they've seen the demo, 3 of my mates decided to order the game, also my eldest brother ordered his copy now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Congrats! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Thanks Nerfix, you will have your copy very soon also, and then we can play some MP games via TCP/IP.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yoohoo!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
Just got my copy (presumably, the first to have arrived Israel) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

no time now, the manual summons my attention http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

And I just recieved confirmation my copy shipped http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Maybe it will be the second copy in Israel http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif



Actually, I wouldnt be too surprised if it was. After linking to the demo on gamer.co.il, a popular gaming website, my responses were: "I saw the screenshots, the demo isn't worth downloading" and "The tutorial is useless, I have no idea what I'm doing. Also, I've lost 6 knight* battalions to 2 archer ones, WTF?"
*-If they were actualy knights, I would find that almost impossible to happen, I suppose he meant some other unit. Remember this is just a translation from hebrew.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Eponi Knights I think. I suppose they could lose to longbowmen...

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Well, if you saw some of reports from local gaming sites you would really get angry. A guy there was spitting all over Dom3 before even demo came out because, catch this, he didn't like jokes in Dom3 advertising. Bad humor he says. They couple days later he posts that demo came out for turn based RTS Dom3.

I say that there should really be IQ test for ppl who post news and do reviews. Oh, and no drugs and alcohol test too.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Oh lolz. Well, Dominions series has got idiotic reviews before. I trust you heard of the one where the guy though Dominions was an RPG...

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Lol! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

*crossing fingers* for your copy to arrive quickly.

And I'm not surprised by those comments as dom-II got its fair share of those as well.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

There's only a few online game review sites I ever pay attention to. You tend to find most of them on the net are full of aspiring game journo's who failed to actually get into print, and phrases such as turn based rts show you why...

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Yesterday I installed the demo, because I thought I'd still have a few weeks' wait ahead of me - mailed on Tuesday to Germany via Global Priority Mail.

Well, the game arrived today. I paid only 5$ for delivery, but the stamps on the envelope amounted to about twice that amount. Great service! Thank you very much!

My first impressions are from the demo and the handbook:

My 12-year-old watched me play the tutorial and now is really excited about the game, although it is not in German! I am glad that hotseat is an option.

As for the handbook, I can't remember one this good. Ever. And I play strategy games since the days of the C64. Previously I had only dabbled a bit with the Dom2 demo, given up mainly in awe of the huge map and the vast amount of micromanagement necessary. Therefore I know very little about how Dominions actually works. But now, reading the manual, it is as if all the pieces are falling into place and everything becomes crystal clear. I'm probably too optimistic here, but you get my meaning ;-)

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

For those in the UK, just to let you know that my copy arrived in the mail today, with no problems from Customs or requests for VAT.

I originally ordered on 26th Sep.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Woohoo! I just got mine today http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I like manual alot (it is really big!)

The amount of information I am going to have to wade through is incredible(I mean, 100+ of those 299 pages are charts). I don't see how anyone has time for anything else! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Hey guys. Really looking foward to the game.

I had a question about shipping.

My order shipped on October 5th (Thursday) via USPS Priority.

I live in the Midwest. Any idea when the game could arrive, taking into account there is a postal holiday on Monday? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

This link was posted earlier:

http://www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm

It should provide something of answer.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Cool! I didn't see that earlier, where was it posted?
Oh, and 4-6 days for me *sob*

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

You should have yours on Tuesday.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

That sounds right. Usually, if you live in a less remote area, then it is the lesser time. The more postal facilities it has to clear the longer it takes.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Bah, today's a postal holiday? *mutter* Hoped to get mine today.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Thanks guys. I live in a dorm, so all the mail has to go through the front desk before being distributed to the building. I was just worried it already got delivered with the Saturday mail but maybe got lost in that process. I'll just look for it Tuesday.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Faraway delivery report:

Pre-ordered May 12, shipped Oct.2, arrived today October 9 at my business address in Istanbul Turkey. I actually have ties to both Cary and Hampstead N.C., so it's nice to get a package from (almost) home. Thanks everyone involved!

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Just ordeder mine today from Tuxgames (though the "These games work only on linux and nothing else! See the penguin in the corner of your screen? So get lost!" banner was quite scary... but I trust you guys http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) ... anyway, I'll just keep myself busy with the demo 'till the package arrives.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I wonder when mine is coming. I hope tomorrow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Hmm, I have an 'order receipt' and a 'order processing' receipt, but no notification of shipping. I ordered on Thursday. Did all the Thursday orders get fulfilled?

TIA for any info.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

By the way, does USPS priority deliver on Saturdays? The site that was linked to said the shipping should take two days. If my order shipped Thursday, I would have figured it would have arrived here Saturday.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

They do deliver on Saturdays, but it actually says 2-3 days average.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

My understanding is that they did. Please enter a customer support ticket or pm me with your last name and order number and we'll check it for you.

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Ok cool. I won't start freaking out till Tuesday night then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Thanks, done and done. I'm told it shipped Friday, so I must have just missed the ship email. Should be here today or tomorrow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (Woo!)

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

One of my mates just called me on phone, that he received his copy today. He has ordered it on the last friday. Damn his copy was shipped much faster than mine...and he is living in the next city [~3 kms from here]. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

Tuxgames says that they expect new stock to arrive on October 10th and today it's already the 12th... ah well, back to waiting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I got notice my game shipped on Oct 6, 2006 12:51 PM, and according to the USPS website it should take 4-6 days.
I'm still waiting for the game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
EDIT: WOOHOO ITS HERE
NO SLEEP FOR ME TODAY

Re: Dominions 3 Now Shipping!
 

I got my copy today! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif It took 4 days to get up here. Not bad at all.
I LOVE the manual. It's great reading. Maybe I should put it down and play a little too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
