One question on protection :

Cause this is the only protection that works i can think of but i have to little knowledge to know if it works at all or if there is nothing you can do against Piracy in various forms .
It will help if you keep in mind that there is "copy protection" against legal owners making casual copies for their buddies, and there is "crack protection" against pirates. Dominions does have a level of crack protection involved with the serial key which fights pirated copies. But they do not try to stop you from putting the game anywhere you want or making backup copies.
Is the key somehow checked ?
Cause there are key generators for almost everything .
For Diablo 2 e.g. though thnx to the CD-key check each time you played in battle.net at least if you wanted to play MP you were almost forced to buy a copy afaik .

If anyway possible i would wish a small official server for Dominions 3 anyway and if Illwinter would then check the cd-keys would hopefully result in a bit more sales .
