Default Re: What it will take for me to purchase Dom III

cost & supply

Other adjustments might be needed, though—for example, province supply capacity might have to be increased, as might the supply effects of Nature magic and certain magic items.
The supply effects can't be increased, but are unchanged from Dom:PPP, and it had twice the gold of DomII. Castle/building prices can't be changed yet, but might be in DomIII.
Was unaware of the Dom1 connection. At this point, I'm out of my depth--I never had the opportunity to play Dom1. I think a continuation of this part of the discussion by those who have might be instructive. Did reducing the gold of Dom1 improve Dom2--or did it just push the pendulum from ground troops to magic troops?
Do the math yourself:
- the sites didn't change (much)
- gold 'production' was halved
- ... and seemingly no-one really noticed: the province sizes where heavily reduced; while pop range was 5k-50k in DomPPP, now we have 500..15k pop

And taking away a strategic/tactical option is never good IMHO...
