Talk about slow turns. I'm travelling now, in a hotel room in Florida, and this laptop I'm using is SOOO slow (all that my work had available to give me). My turns take almost 30 minutes just to completely do and review everything, and watching battles is even longer, even with most graphics turned off.

It's a P2 366mhz, I guess at the extreme minimum requirements for Dom2.
But I can't wait to do more games, and I think I will wait until I return home before starting another MP game, assuming another beginner-type game is starting. I look forward to getting farther into this game also.
