Weekly previews of DomIII, maybe?
 

I was wondering if it would be possible for someone on the team to post a small preview once a week that highlights one of the new races and a pretender. Just a small weekly post that gives some background info and maybe a few details. This would be be really cool to have while we wait for the game to be shipped. I can understand if it's just too much to ask, though -- I'm just throwin it out there.

Agreed, it'd be great to have little teasers like this if it's not too much of a bother.

I'd like to see this. On the other hand I doubt we'll se such.

Looks like the AARs are doing a decent job with this.

I was going to say the same. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

But we needs more of them!

Re: Weekly previews of DomIII, maybe?
 

Yes! More! More for the horde!

Re: Weekly previews of DomIII, maybe?
 

A R'lyeh AAR would be sweet. Anyone willing to do it?

Re: Weekly previews of DomIII, maybe?
 

Oh man, a Dreamlands R'lyeh AAR would make me go bananas. For the love of all things holy and/or unholy, someone please do it!

Re: Weekly previews of DomIII, maybe?
 

Either of those options would be great! Maybe the best would be for a beta tester to get permision to do the previews, after all, we don't want Dom3 delayed by something as mundane as overworked devs. Or anything else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Still, the AARs are great.

Well I dont think you can call this a real review but I love it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I will try to mention some new stuff....

There is a tutorial (player written) and a manual (player written). I have always said you cant get better than that.

Another thing that I greatly appreciate is the slots. In Dom2 if someone wanted to create a nation they had to overwrite ne. Since I tend to play lesser-liked nations it was often my favorites that a mod chose to replace. With Dom3 there are "empty" slots for modders to fill.

I dont really mod much but I understand that the new copystats and copysprites commands are a going to be big with the modders.

If you know my Dom2minions.com site then you know that I loved random maps. The fact that Dom3 generates random maps is fantastic. They are Kristoffer quality which are much better than the random maps I created for Dom2. I expect to see many more player scenarios now that anyone can get random maps to improve on.

Another big thing with maps is the network support. If I host a game and you dont have the map, the game will send it to you when you first connect. That can be done with player created maps, or with a random map that was created specifically for that game. Way easier to get into a game now.

You can queue up 100 units in a province. And you can shift-click to add 10 units to queue.

I like that the game menu is not as confusing to new people. If you start a game it takes you into god-creation with a button to load a premade one if you have it. Otherwise you can just continue making one for that game.

Oh yeah, and Flying Monkees.
