Hi. I just discovered this game yesterday and I downloaded the demo. Been playing for 24 hours now and my eyes are bleeding. I must say that this could very well be the best fantasy strategy game and perhaps even the best strategy game I have ever played. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif There are so much to do and so many different strategies to try out so I am totally blowned away.

Sadly due to financial lack I will not be able to buy the game until late january. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif The only thing I could think of that could cheer me up would be some AARs (After Action Reports). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Especially from you guys playing MP games. Atleast some reports on how things are going would make me feel better.

If someone is up to the challenge then I suggest you post it as well on other strategy games OT forums with links to this forum, so that this beauty is discovered by more strategy loving people.

BuayaDarat: Thanks. That was a beutiful AAR. Damnit now I have to test Dominion 1 as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

PDF: Oh you can? Still the 40 turns limit would require a small map with few peoples. I guess I'll wait until I can buy the whole game. Meanwhile I can perfect my strategies with different nations.

I think you can switch to the full game from the demo in mid game without a problem.

Great to hear another person has found this gem of a game.

Cheers

There was also a series of small, multiplayer games (JTBlitz series)where the winners posted some AARs on usenet. This was the original Dominions as well, but some of the same principles might still apply. Here is a search from Google Groups that list some of the threads that the AARs can be found.

Have fun.

There is an AAR based on Version one of the game. Gameplay is similar. Check it out!

Hi Jens,

Welcome to Dominions 2 forum! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

YAY JENS!

Yes that was one of the ones I remembered. And an excellent example of how a new player can do a better job of docs and walkthrus than any game developers can.

PLEASE Jen, do the same for Dom2. Prefereably (just asking) one of the races and maps that are in the demo.
