I havent played civ4, but in civ3, the research system is based on income. You set your research rate, and choose a path. In dominions, you set your mages to research (I consider mages a resource in this respect) You want specialists to boost research? Forge a Research bonus item.

I don't see how the economic system is any less complex than in other games. As long as civ is the comparison, how is it any better? Dominions even incorporates the temperature of the province into the income!

If Dominions is too shallow for you, don't bother looking to fufill your needs with video games, because your not going to find a more complex, more interesting game.

As for the graphics, I would like to get the 2d system back, with less of the superfluous graphics upgrades.

there are actually a few things I miss from dominions I, like the light/dark way of showing dominion strength, the ability to set 'attack commanders/attack magic users' and the ability TO USE MY DAMNED SCROLL WHEEL.
