Re: Is D3 worth the $55 upgrade from D2?
Aside from the guaranteed annual sales, the price of dominions 3 isn't llikely to go down any time soon. Dominions 3 is pretty much shrapnel's flagship game... it gets something like 3x the number of purchases as their next best seller, even now, over games released just this year, despite its age. So they really don't want to lower its price. Don't think of it as a game that was released 6 years ago... that doesn't make it any less good, and it's still one of THE premier TBS games out there. For my taste I would say it is the premier, especially for a fantasy setting. Even just the MORE MORE MORE factor and significant bug reduction imo is enough to buy Dom3. It will take you a very, very long time to get bored with a game the size and scope of dominions 3.
Anyway, my advice is to wait until the game is on sale and buy it. Shrapnel's sales are something like 10%-15%, which is a significant savings.
