Stardock selling dominions
 

Lo and behold, I have just receive a promotion from stardock for dominions 3 with 20% discount.

Stardock has IMO, good access to niche audience that substantially overlaps that of dominions so I hope this will bring many more new dominions players http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Whoah, Stardock selling Dominions!! That is fantastic news!

Re: Stardock selling dominions
 

And I received a notice from Shrapnel selling Gal Civilizations for 20% off! Surprising but brilliant job there.

Re: Stardock selling dominions
 

Not on TotalGaming.net yet, and I haven't got an e-mail yet... maybe they're releasing it as we type.

I agree that would be a real publicity coup, GalCiv II has a big audience of people who'd surely like Dominions.

I did get an e-mail yesterday from Shrapnel offering discounted GalCiv II, so obviously they've started working together a bit. It's a dream match to my mind.

Re: Stardock selling dominions
 

Yes indeed! I'm very happy with this.

What more I'm starting to get my hopes high on their upcoming fantasy TBS.

Oh and here is an excerpt from the mail I have received:

"
SAVE 20% NOW



Dominions 3: The Awakening, is the follow up to the acclaimed fantasy strategy game, Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars.

Guys. Whoa. Stardock is not selling Dominions 3. Shrapnel Games is offering Stardock's customers a special discount. Just like Stardock is offering a special discount on Gal Civilizations to Shrapnel's customers.

It is just a joint promotion, as Stardock and Shrapnel both respect each others products.

Re: Stardock selling dominions
 

Now if we can just find a strategy to have Stardock hire Kristoffer to assist in developing Stardocks upcoming TBS fantasy game expected to be ready end of 2009.

We'll have to use our combined clever strategies we've been mastering via use of Dominions. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon26.gif[/img]

THE STRATEGY:
We find some aliens [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon27.gif[/img] from outerspace which also enjoy playing Dominions_3. After buying the aliens a few rounds of drinks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image.../beerglass.gif they agree to our plan. Within a few weeks the aliens use Josh's and Kristoffer's favorite drinks [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Martini.gif[/img], food [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Burger.gif[/img], females [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Woman3.gif[/img] and money [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon41.gif[/img] so they agree to work together. If either side disagrees then the aliens threaten to start a war between worlds [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon48.gif[/img] . At this time someone from the forum notices these aliens look very similar to the Ry'leh nation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif


Feel free to add into the strategy so the plan will be a success !

I suggest the traditional "offer him 66 virgins with special collars that make them VERY obedient" approach. That always works!

If that fails, offer him the collars. My parents are teachers, and I know THEY could find uses for those... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
