Like I said before, go to #dominions on irc, ask them what they play...SP or MP....They will tell you.

I don't care if they don't post here or not. I don't care if they are in a MP chat room, There are many ppl that prefer MP.

Ok. Someone mentioned that the channel #dominions
was very quiet. That was mainly because everyone
was waiting dom2 and thus no1 played any games
or such (if you get my meaning). I've been a
#dominions regular since dom1 came out and have
taken part both in TCP/IP and PBEM MP games. After
learning the basics in SP mode I really haven't
touched SP much except to test some new pretender
designs or such.

I think that I can pretty much speak for the
finnish Dominions community: "Yes, we prefer dom
MP because there's no way a computer can be as
sneaky as another human being. Besides, winning
against a computer doesn't compare to utterly
crushing the pitiful nation of your fellow human
opponent".

I've taken part in maybe two or three
"international" PBEM games and taken part in the
usenet conversation. I also wrote the rather longish Pangaea guide for dom1 (with my real name, Mikko Heikkilä). Btw, the most recent Version is up at sunray's site, one at dominions.tk is pretty much outdated.

So you're pretty much right in saying that most
of the Dominions community isn't posting here
as it is (didn't see any Posts from "legends"
like Gandalf Parker - otoh if he's posted here then I'm sorry because I missed it). I hope that the situation will change once people get used to the demo.

EDIT: damn, got to learn to post properly in this board, the edits got sort of messy
