[Psycho]

Hello everybody. I've been playing the demo for some time and I really liked it, so I started considering buying the game. But the problem is that I've never bought anything online and I can't seem to find the game anywhere.

So my first question is how do you do about buying something online. Do you need a credit card? I have a Maestro card (which is a debit card) - will that do? Also, is the delivery of the manual payed separately? If so, how much should I expect to pay (I'm from Serbia). I don't know if this forum is the best place to ask, but I have no idea where else to ask.

Is one copy of the game enough for me to play over internet against my brother, or do we need a separate copy each? I know we can't both play on the dominions servers, but I suppose we can play by e-mail.

Regarding the game - I love the concept of pre-issuing the orders and not being able to control the troops in tactical combat. The biggest flaw I see is that I don't have enough control over my units. It would be nice to be able to script more than five spells, or at least a spell for spamming (like summon skeleton) after the initial five. Also sometimes it would be great to be able to hold for one or three turns with my troops. But what bothers me most is the absence of a stand ground option - why can't my archers just sit and wait for the enemy to get into range instead of charging forward and ruining my formation.

The thing that's got me puzzled is this division into ages. What is the purpose for this division, what is accomplished by it?

I've read quite a bit of this forum and particularly the thread about the different strategies for different nations. I find this stuff very interesting. I look forward to being able to go beyond the demo's 40 or so turns and try all that stuff and of course I'll have to try MP.

And for the end I was hoping someone could give me advice on how to stop being crushed by hordes of troglodytes. I'm playing blitz games on small random maps against my brother in the demo. He takes agartha and just masses dozens of troglodytes and tramples me over every time. Of course, I need tactics that can be used by either acro, marverni or kaliasa and limited by level 4 of research.

P.S.
Sorry for the long post.
