Diffrent looking temples?
 

Take a look at this and this. Yup, it's the main screen.
However, either it is my eyes or then we have diffrent looking temples in Dominions II...

Re: Diffrent looking temples?
 

Do you mean on the toolbar at the right hand side? I can't see any temples on the map itself in the first shot.

Toolbar, duh.

Temples for each race look different. Maybe even for each theme but I'm not sure about that.

Sweet, litle, nifty features...

3 little questions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

1) is the max dominion still at 10?
2) do you have spells which directly lower or rise dominions in a given province (aside preaching...)
3) are the blessed units modified by the intensity of the dominions of the province they are in?

It could have been an interesting tweak to limit dominions level to 10 in the design phase of a god, but to allow it to climb past it with each 5 temples built. This would have been an incentive to start at 8/9/10 your dominions level, as you would know you could read perhaps 12 by midgame, contrary to players choosing a lower level. Nobody would make a god with dominions 9 or 10 right (except perhaps Emor, but they get too many design points in their hands http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

As of now, empires which survives up to the medium to end game reach 10.

I guess limit is only in the design, not in game. Besides Marignon has "Fires of the Faith" theme which empowers their dominion ALOT, and it wouldn't be worth much if there is in game limit of 10.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I thought you could get over 10 in dominion strength with temples in dom 1. I thought you were reffering to starting strength when you asked if 10 was max. As for dom 2 apparently you can go past 10 with temples, I do not think this has been tampered with since dom 1.

*edit correction 10 is max at least without fires of the faith or blood sacrifice, also there were only room for 10 candles in dom1 so obviously I was wrong*

(Gosh darn it! I just went to check my game in Doms I and accidentally hit the "end turn" button to exit, and ran a turn without orders, which of course can't be undone... I don't have the heart to look what happened.)

Looks like my max dominion in that game is 10 even in my brightest areas with temples, but I don't remember what I chose at start up.

Re: Diffrent looking temples?
 

Yes, I never saw anyone past 10 dominions in Doms I. Nice tweak if it can be bypassed in Doms II.
