No wonder seriously religous folks find games like Dominions disturbing.

I'm just catching up on back Posts. Don't mind me...

I probably qualify as 'seriously religious', being an evangelical protestant, and I find few things about Dominions 'disturbing' in an 'I'm not going to let my child play this' context (not to mention the fact he's only eighteen months old). It's an amalgamation of mythological-style characters and cultural prostheses. Of course it's gonna have devils and blood sacrifices. The most disturbing thing to me is the entire 'pretender' concept, but since it's based on an entirely mythical setting (and an extremely good gaming engine to boot) it doesn't provoke my religious fervor. That sort of moral quandary comes more from things like paint-by-numbers Holocausts or somesuch nonsense. It's like saying that Lord of the Rings promotes the occult, or something.

Just two cents. Ignore as desired.
