2 questions before i buy.........
 

in DOM 1, there was a button to press, to represent army size, that would show a green bar on the leader. is this in DOM 2? i couldnt find it in the demo.

and also, was there any type of upgrade to the game that would show what provinces you searched for magic sites in?

thanks all

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There are swords in the commander icon box at the left hand of the screen, the more swords the more units.

If you currently have a province selected the bottomright corner of the upperleft box will display the paths searched in a province. Or you can press F1, one of the columns is levels searched, and the levels of the mages present in the province.

Yeah, the province search indicators in Doms II are very useful.

I didn't know there was a button which would show army sizes by leaders in Doms I - what's the button?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">'s'. It was added in one of the patches, I don't recall which, and results in bars after the names in the leader lists.

Thanks Taqwus!

lol this is funny. When someone asking a question like this 'before I buy..is this game worth to buy' etc. the devs will answer ASAP.
They are totally ignoring some thtrads like the one about the AI.
This is not good, no sir. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

We do not ignore the AI thread, but little that needs commenting has been said lately. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

BTW has it struck you that every hour spent on these Boards is one less hour spent on the patches. For the Last couple of days I havn't spent any time to actually work on Dominions II. Wonder why http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: 2 questions before i buy.........
 

Have you considered that perhaps they're ignoring _you_? Your abrasive points have been heard, and from what I've seen aknowledged, what more do you want, a medal?

Sorry, couldnt resist. Im thinking the Devs have no reason to say much about any of this until people try the full game and start commenting. Even then they have in the past tended to listen more than argue. Mostly they let us beat each other up on both sides of issues while they take notes. In any case Ive NEVER known them to ignore any of our discussions.

Oh and by the way, Ive also never known them to be swayed by numbers so the lists and debates probably mean alot more than the "look how many people" stuff. In the past, one person with one good suggestion got just as much notice as many people with complaints. Not that they got ignored, it just that numbers wasnt enough by itself to change any minds.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hm, so the list about the suggestions that how to fix the AI is nothing? Have you seen that list?

Re: 2 questions before i buy.........
 

Okay, so you have seen it than. This is a good start. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Well I don't want anything, but the AI scripter should make some comments about the suggestions. That is what I am missed.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You should have quoted this line as well:

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The time spent on these Boards could be used for the game, and I believe that comments somewhat rude or aggressive are unlikely to help. Continually raising problems without adding anything won't either. (Disclaimer: I don't deny there can be improvements to the AI. /Disclaimer)

The list is done, has been read by the developers, now perhaps you may want to give him (or them) time to deal with the AI? A working AI with little cheating is not exactly done in a week, let alone when you are doing other things than AI scripting.

ok, this topic has gotten way off.
