You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

*You see beautiful scenery and the first thing that occurs to you is 'This would make a great magic site.'.

*You only worry about your health one month out of the year.

*You always keep things tidy to avoid natural disasters.

*Whenever you get anything really nice, you immediately start worrying about long term horror marking effect.

*You are baffled by history books suggesting siege engines for breaking down castle walls instead of sensible bird swarms.

*If someone tries to assassinate you, you know better than to try and run away.

*You always keep a good parrying dagger in case of an earthquake.

*You know you must be a hero, because of your unequaled obesity.

* You panic whenever you see a white candle about to go out.

* Speaking of which, after you recover from the fit of panic you are suspicious of any and all females with revealing clothing, and try to train pigeons to look out for the goat-legged giant.

Ok, I know I have fallen into a trap. The devious history teachers plot has come to fuition, and now I am forced to spend time searching historical info. to compare with the origin legends for heros and sites from Dominions. Today I'm surfing/reading about Nemrut Dag, and the history of the Kommagene kingdom (http://www.enjoyturkey.com/info/sights/adiyaman.htm) and I read this:
What comes immediately to mind? Those of you whos minds are poisoned like me are thinking of a special magic site. I load up Edi's database, only to find this province seems to be missing all it's effects. So I have to create a test game with the site, just so I can satisfy my curiosity.

"White Man Hill
- provides 100 Supply
- creates 1 Nature gem/turn
- increases Growth"

Note to Edi: database needs this site info
Note to self: find a new hobby

Sill

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Nice! I never knew where that site came from. Thanks for the info.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Seems to me that the site should give water and earth gems.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Hmm, indeed. Thanks for catching that error. I must have accidentally skipped over that site's stats when I did the original page for sites.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

* You never pick up collars of any kind, fearing that they will be cursed.

* When you see someone with wolf talisman, you back away quickly, before the wearer turns into a werewolf.

* When you're dissatified with your beard growth, you buy a talisman made out of a Bear Claw and wear it around the clock.

* When your attemps to buy some "Skin of Unborn Calves" attract attention, you defend yourself by saying that you need to make running boots.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

NTJedi is wrong! It's not a sign that you play too much Dominions that you fall asleep thinking about strategies, it's actually normal if the last thing you did before going to sleep was play your turn. ;p Same kind of thing happens with all games worth playing I'd say!

And AreWeInsaneYet's lobster line made me think of giant enemy crabs and the need to flip them over on their backs and attacking their weak points for massive damage! Awesome!

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

... you take a polearm with you as a mosquito repellent when going on vacation.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

You discuss the proper alchoholic beverage to compliment your Dom3 experience.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Or for that matter you know you've been playing too much when EVERYTHING seems to be an accessory. We have had threads on background screens, screen savers, music, snacks, and alcohol as far as I can remember.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

You know you have been playing too much dominions when..
you find yourself putting your wife/girlfriend into the game instead of spending more time with them.

(and realize you are part of a really strange community when a thread shows that you werent unusual for doing it)

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Well, everything *is* an accessory, Gandalf. You, for instance, are the prophet of Kristoffer, while Edi is Johan's prophet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

*When you find yourself humming the tunes from EA, MA, LA, and the general one.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

You are concerned about doing a turn on vacation, because you do not trust a sub to get it right.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

*When, unlike your coworkers, you sympathize with your boss. After all, a Shattered Soul can't be cured.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Telling the missus, "I named my goddess after you" doesn't go a long way when she's annoyed at too much time on the old pc.


*I spend my commute to and from work often deliberating strategy.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

Ah, just rediscovered this awesome thread! I have a current one:

"You wonder why politicians dont recognize the simple solution to budget crises- just alchemize fire gems!"

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

+ 1

And also: In lei of reading the real news I just read "dominions 3 news" which, sadly, there is not enough of.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

I find that Dom3 helps me understand some political things. Such as, that maintaining one force to respond after an attack is much cheaper than maintaining many to try and avoid the attack.

And the concept of "pretender gods" battling over followers is helping me to get a grasp on US party bantering lately.

Re: You have been playing to much dominons when...
 

At work, I head up our Product Development Meetings. This is often abbreviated to PD Meeting, leading me to imagine our company having a volunteer defense force.
