Re: How do you pronounce them?

Re: Confusion about game saving

Ok, I just tested this and I'm a bit concerned. Both saved games and gods created with the demo are getting saved in my main dominions directory.

I also don't see any way to specify directories...

Confusion about game saving

I have both the full game and the demo. The full game was installed after the demo was.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread

I'm not sure if this is a bug or the way it's supposed to be, but if a game is being auto-hosted (i.e., the turn is processed as soon as everyone completes their move), and someone ends their turn,...

Re: How do you pronounce them?

I don't know who CJ Cherryh is, but her view is incorrect.

Gaelic Languages inflect the prefix for case, so your example of "thee na shee" would likely mean something like "of Daione Sidhe." ...

What do you do with incoming reinforcements?

Your main army is attacking a province. But another commander nearby can move into the same province with reinforcements.

What do you set them to?

Curiously, I've found that keeping them in...

My fear is that under that system there would be pressure to get the turns in.

How long are you willing to wait for a turn file before focing next turn? 24 hours? 48?

Re: Big Problem - Unbalanced random events

I think it's very much a problem. In a game against the AI, you could always either play it out for the fun of seeing if you can recover from it or start a new game.
