Default Re: Is the price of Dominions II a deterrent?

Hmm. It is too bad not to allow friends to play in the same game from one copy, as long as they aren't taking it home. Especially for getting girlfriends, wives, children, parents, etc. involved. It seems like there might be a reasonable work-around to allow this. At least, to allow them to play multiple nations hot-seat in the same game. That is, allow the same registration number as long as the same network address is used. I guess it would still be a problem for people calling in on dialup accounts with dynamic IP addresses, but maybe other means could establish it was the same computer.

Mmm, another idea - give everyone several "sub" registration codes, but only allow them to be used if their "master" registration code is also in the game. Or, do like many games do, and allow people to play multi-player only, and only if at least one player has a registered copy.
