Has anyone wondered why Dominions players are pretty contempt with what they have? While recently there have been more threads about DomIII, the topic hasn't been given much thought. Also, I think this is the first thread ever started so that people could quess what DomIII will be like. This is also very spesific, unlike the Wishlist, and asks for speculation, unlike most threads about DomIII.

The point is... um. I don't have Dominions2. I own only demo.
Ocassionally I go to my friend who's got full version, and we pretend we can finish one game in just one evening. Then we start another game, because by the time we see each other again we tend to forget what was the game about. And where all the scouts are (*B0rsuk looks at Kristoffer/JK in a threatening manner*).
So I mostly play demo. You can still have some fun with it. Eventually news of Dominions3 reached me. It made me uneasy about buying full Dominions2, because it would become obsolete - more less.
However, there's one BIG obstacle for me buying Dominions3, and I'm quite worried about it. Dom2 is being sold (to my knowledge) by shipment only, and it is very, very hard to find a way of transfering money abroad. Banks in Poland don't support it, generally speaking. I know because I recently did a research (I was going to buy full new version of DROD). My internet bank doesn't allow transfer to other countries, so I would have to
1. Create an account elsewhere (it costs)
2. Allow them to charge me (about) 50zl just for transfering money abroad
3. Pay for Dominions, which would be something like 40$ = 120zl.
This means at least 190zl - assuming I can set up an account for free (unlikely). To compare, my half-time job gets me circa 650zl monthly, and I didn't mention paying for studies (2400zl/6months), food, clothing, etc. I would gladly pay the equivalent of 40$ for the game, but I'd be mercilessly ripped, and there's lots of beaurocracy in my way. I hate beaurocracy. My friend was lucky, he was in the USA last year.
If you didn't get it at this point, B0rsuk is
very frustrated.
Kristoffer: Thanks, you've been very helpful ! Your insights are very inspiring.
I wonder if ability to take "special" theme and, say, Restless Worshippers would really change anything. I just learned hard way that not taking Order/Productivity is effectively a suicide. And there are some themes with Sloth/Turmoil...ugh.
