Thanks very much!
My confusion with Agartha wasn't so much a balance issue but a flavor one: Since there were no poor amphibians at all, I didnt really see the difference between "wet ones" and the others, so I miss their raison d'etre. Also, the intro info screen in the demo lists them as "poor amphibians". I just didnt see a difference between them and Atlantis, Ryleh or Oceana (those from dom2 at least), except that Agartha was even *more* flexible. Normally, "land" nations that are highly water-compatible can't build PD in water, but even Agartha can do that, so it just seems weird.
But it is no big deal.

Thanks jeff. Since I don't have the manual, that was what I was missing. I think this is a nice change to priests.

Ah pity, but I think this all makes sense. Looks like some nice changes were implemented. Can't really see in the demo, but what you say makes sense.

The black screen is a bug, then. Feel free to report your OS, graphic card and details of the bug in the bug thread.

OK I could do so, but since it was only the demo I don't think anyone will really care.
Notice that it happens when I hit "e" to some extent too: I played a game of five humans vs. each other, me playing all the nations, just so I could see who was what in the demo, and when I hit "e" to get me to the screen to select the nation, it doesn't black out but it does freeze and take about 8-10 seconds to get to that screen. If this doesn't happen for everyone, that's good, because I found it painful in comparison to Dom2, but it sure is strange since I havent had any problems with my machine otherwise.
Specs are: 1.86Ghz Pentium Mobile, 1gig RAM, ATI Radeon Mobility with 128MB (I think, cant see a way to see that right now), Windows XP Home w/ latest updates.
Are issues with ATI cards "normal"?

I play both SP and MP, and I find single-player very improved compared to Dom 2, where I also enjoyed it.

In which way?
