I'm wondering, why would somebody choose a number as his name tag? Seems strange.

You're not the only one wondering :)

It's my old student number, and I use it as a login almost everywhere, so I don't need to keep track of different logins on different sites. Lazy me.

PS. Actually I'm just a random generated bot.

I've used the number "729" as a screen name before. It's a magic number.

Welcome new people, new numbers, et all. :)

All told, there are or have been quite a few Finns here. Me, Endoperez and at least three or four others.

I'm actually surprised that there ain't more Finns here!

Maybe the reason is that there doesn't seem to be any kind of article about Dominions 3 in the most influental Finnish gaming magazine (Pelit)... any idea why is it so, Edi? I didn't see a review on their web pages at least.

Pelit did a number on both Dominions PPP and Dominions 2, but not on Dominions 3. We do have one Finnish review linked from the post-release press sticky thread and I translated the thing to English in the same thread. Haven't seen others.

I wonder, when Endoperez is done with his Kalevala mod, if Pelit might then be interested in doing an article on both Dom3 and the mod? It seems like it would be a good idea for one-connecting Finnish historical/national elements to modern computer gaming. I suppose it might be a little controversial, but that's all to the better where sales are concerned.

As I said, Pelit magazine is very influential on gaming in Finland, and a review in it would very likely affect Dom3 popularity in Finland. Dom-PPP and Dom2 received really good grades (87/100 and 90/100) earlier, and I'm sure Dom3 would do that too. I was really really surprised to see it had not been reviewed yet.

I'd encourage any Illwinter guys or gals reading this to send a copy over to Pelit magazine :)

Linking the Kalevala mod with the review might be a nice touch too!


PS. I'm not in any way affiliated to the Pelit magazine. Being a subscriber doesn't count, does it? :)

I'd have to finish it first! :D There are many things in the way, including the ideas I've had about Early and Late era versions, but I can release the current version as soon as I come up with a good name, and a good title. The thread is in the modding subforum if you think you have an idea.

Another newbie here...

21 year old Russian (Moscow Region), been playing computer games for 13 years, RPGs for 7 years (starting with Aquarius Era, a GURPS-like Russian RPG system, through several other systems, now primarily D&D), found Dom2 a couple years ago, played from time to time, been playing Dom3 SP for a month now, still a complete newb, at your service. =)

Guess I'll primarily lurk this forum for the tons of useful advice you guys provide - a huge thank-you to everyone for that. =)
