with the dominion 2 demo it doesn't matter any more most fans already own it

but for dominions 3 it would be a shame if 10-20% less copies would be sold only because of an unfortunate demo restriction by a too short / too frustrating turn limit .

Why do you assume that the turn limit has cost dom 2 sold copies? There is little or no evidence that the game has sold less copies due to the 40 turn demo limit. There was however some evidence that a few players was so well saisfied with playing with the demo of dom 1 that they thought it enough for their dominion needs and therefore never bothered to get the full game.

but in the dominions 2 demo you already could only chose 7 nations and the lvl 4 research limit was still in it
so i think the 40 turn limit was unneccesary because even without that you only saw about 25% of the game so you still want to buy it but have a bit better overview

the dominions 1 demo was like 50% of the game that was of course too much


a question : i myself "only" own dominions 2 because i heard the first time from dominions 3 months ago . i played the dominions 1 demo while i waited for my dominions 2 copy arriving
because dominions 2 is perfect i see no need to buy dominions 1 too .
if i knew from dominions before dominions 2 came out i would have bought this too

so my idea : because i would still love to play dominions or your former game conquest of elysium once (if only for a short time because dominions 2 is simply even better) .
but still paying 20-30$ for conquest of elysium or dominions 1 i don't see any reason to because i know from the demo that dominions 2 is even better .

so when you offer dominions 3 could you perhaps include an original copy of dominions 1 + conquest of elysium as bonus ?
i think when dominion 3 comes out no one still buys them but it would be a nice bonus because i could test them and others could wallow in nostalgy and get a new replacement for their old scratched cds of conquest of elysium + dominions 1

this should make no or almost no extra costs but would be nice i think
