Default Should I?

Hello, Im new to these forums. Read some Posts and you guys seem nice. I want to ask you guys, Is this game worth buying? I played the demo and i liked it, as a matter of fact, i loved it! but im too young to even have a job, so i dont get much spending money. I'm more interested in this than other things i was considering like warhammer or airsoft.

(I've reinstalled the demo 4 times to continue playing.)

Fall,

My first question is, why are you reinstalling the game to play it? I wasn't aware of any trial time limit the demo can live on your computer ( I actually still have it on my computer along with Dom2 ).

Is this something new? If not, you are only limited in the demo by levels of research (4) and turn limit (40).

There are numerous reasons to buy this game, love this game, spend your free time devoted to trying to make it more accessible to newbies, understanding, and making it better.

What kind of games do you really like? Did you like MoM? MOO? AoW? Any of the sequels? Total War? Board Miniature Wargames (like Warhammer 40k)? You like Fantasy more than Fiction?

What really makes you don't want to play a game?

If you can answer these questions more than likely someone here can help you, as some of the people here have similiar tastes.

If you like deep games that have nearly limitless replay value, modding, multi-play, or fantasty battles, you'd enjoy Dom2.

If you like'd the demo, buy the full game, it will stay on your HD longer and give you more fun then 300$ worth of normal games.

I think it's outstanding, unparalleled, wonderful, immense fun, etc etc etc - but try the demo and see if you like it yourself.

It's worth buying it! You won't regret! You can build your own mods etc. I'm myself are working on an Asgaard mod to replaces the Vanaheim. I think about an half year from now there will be alot of mods to choose from, so Dom2 will be everchanging!

I had the demo about 2 weeks ago (I got the full Version now), when I reach the turn 40 I had to reinstall it. I couldn't make a new game. But somehow in one of my game I manage to cross the turn 40 and I think it have something to do with the mass reinstall I made with Dom2. I'm not sure, but I think that's how I get through the turn 40, absolutly a bug.

It sounds like you are hooked enough. You figured it out, you enjoy it. you might be beginning to realize that to play this game to the point that you are bored with it will take far longer than any other game in the same price range. Doesnt that sound like a smart buy?

Total War? Board Miniature Wargames
Total war was awesome, i was going to buy some warhammer units with my money but theyre way to expensive, and i dont have the money to spare. When i reinstalled i just backed up my save files, reinstalled and put them into the folder to continue

If you're considering getting into expensive hobbies like Warhammer, you shouldn't be sweating the cost of Dominions.

I'd get Dominions, especially if you liked the demo so much. You'll save a bunch of money compared to Warhammer, and probably have more fun.
