Default Re: Sell me without saying \"more\"

As to the original question:
If you are looking for a very DIFFERENT game than Dom2 but just called Dominions then Dom3 isnt going to do it for you.

But it does have a much improved interface which has saved many of the complaints we had from Dom2.

Also a fantastic manual (almost 300 pages) which took care of many of the other complaints.

The AI was extensively rewritten which provides an opponent far later into the game. This was very needed since the many added nations means that the initial learning time is much longer before you choose the nation you feel is your best bet for multiplayer play.

The built-in random map generator is a big addition. It makes very playable maps of up to huge sizes.

The game now allows you to have multiple created gods for each nation. Also a major complaint in Dom2.

The hosting options have pretty much filled our needs for enough servers I think.
