your thoughts on Dominions II
 

Ok, I know it is only a matter of time till ppl start posting that they like this, hate that, change this, ect ect ect....

I figured I would beat everyone to the punch though and start a thread.

I think that the game is MUCH prettier...easier on the eyes than Dom1.

I also like the whole "Production"....the game is very "clean" over Dom1....at least that is how it feels to me anyways...

The interface is so much better than before....words simply cannot explain.

I like the titles, the themes...so far, what little bit I have played I have really liked...plus, I have been able to trade Messages with Tom Chick....

well, i know that that is not part of the game, but it did happen in this forum http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: your thoughts on Dominions II
 

74% downloaded, i'm sweating and my heart is beating like mad...

Re: your thoughts on Dominions II
 

I agree, Doms II. is a great improvement over Doms I. [Mainly gfx and new additions]
I am still 'testing' the demo. I like it so far.

I am trying to figure out that how effective the AI is...

Re: your thoughts on Dominions II
 

the only thing that sucks is i have to wait 3 weeks for the full Version....

hmmmm....if only shrapnel offered a downloadable full Version for preorders....(hint hint) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I don't like the AI. It is too weak. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: your thoughts on Dominions II
 

Things have changed from Dom I. Clearly.
I realy have liked the game this far.
The only thing i have to nitpick about is that bless doesn't give you any visual effects.

P.S. I just noticed... if you want to reply to me, you'll have to address me as "Sarge"! =)

Re: your thoughts on Dominions II
 

Hmmm. I only played against AI's on their hardest setting in DOM I, except for a couple nations like Ermor and Jotunheim (their darn nether darts...) Try again against impossible computers.

***INTERFACE PROBLEM***

What I noticed so far is that unit stats are no longer aligned!

I mean, I like the fact that it says "Attack Skill", that's nice and informative... but... since the names of the stats have different numbers of characters, it's hard to see all the stats at a glance, down a column. I would suggest moving all the unit stat numbers farther right so they are aligned in a column, like in Dominions I.
