I suspect that part of the reason it seems like a mere expansion is because Dominions is one of the few turn-based strategy games of recent years that doesn't have any campaign play. Developers (and many players) seem to think that a new story line means it can be considered a new game. Look at Disciples & Disciples II for instance, which didn't have any substantial upgrade in graphics, nor do I recall Age of Wonders getting much of a graphical facelift.

But they did have new campaign storylines, whereas Dominions ganes can seem like random scenarios, which in a manner of speaking they are.

Yeah, I think that if we talk about sequels everyone have their own opinions. Someone prefers graphical upgrades, the other one wants a new story etc. etc.
I think that we all can agree, that the most important part is gameplay. I am very happy that it wasn't changed for Dominions 3. If there is a game with a decent gameplay, a sequel must enchance it, not change it. This is why Dominions 3. is definitely a sequel...at least for me.
