I am way overdue for this but...
 

Here it is: Part One of my Dominions 3 Impressions.

Enjoy!

Nice read. I'd be interested to hear more about the castle system they now use, because I'm also a bit disappointed they ditched the pre-game castle selection.

Don't worry, you'll hear A LOT more about that in the next section. The reason I split it in two parts is that I wanted to get at least something out because the part I'm doing now is pretty damn big and is taking a long time. It's better to get something solid out the door then keep my fans waiting, eh?

Fans?

Re: I am way overdue for this but...
 

Oh sure. You should see some of the emails and obscene photos they send to me.

I'm delighted to see we have a Japanese faction. I've always been interested in Japanese culture and mythology. Please tell me we can build an army of Shoguns!

Re: I am way overdue for this but...
 

Well, technically you cannot have the exact unit "Shoguns" but if you play as Jomon (late era, only) you'll be able to fight with ninjas, samurais, et cetera. Neat stuff.

The Shogun was the supreme military commander, so I would not expect to see a unit of them (you can't field an army of american presidents, thank god)

"...Learning new magic costs points points depending on how much..."
You wrote "points" two times in a row, fix that! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
Otherwise, great article.

Good good. I suppose I can link to this too, right?
