3) is there a battle simulator in the full Version of Dom2 ?
(which a pre-ordered)

PS : This is my first post on this board.
The reason that I prefer to have SDL embedded is so that I know my apps will work no matter what Version of SDL they were built against.

How much would it suck if you had purchased two games, but you had to swap which Version of SDL was installed because one was built against an older Version of SDL and didn't work correctly with the new Version?

It's not that difficult to create an updater that replaces the SDL inside the application bundle. I think it's a great development time-saver, too, because you don't have to worry about "Well, what if the user has a different Version of SDL installed?"
