Dominions 3 Patch Now Available!
Multitude Of Bug Fixes and Enhancements!


Hampstead, NC, 03 November 2006

Illwinter Game Design has just completed a patch for their fantasy strategy game,
Dominions 3: The Awakening, which is now available for all Dominions compatible
operating systems through the Shrapnel Games website. The patch, which brings the
game up to version 3.01, may be downloaded from:

www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/Dom3/6.htm

The patch corrects several minor bugs that unfortunately managed to slip past pre-
production testing, but more importantly tweaks several aspects of the game and
enhances the overall experience. The tweaks are numerous, and a complete listing of
changes may be found at the above link.

Dominions 3: The Awakening is the third installment of the insanely popular Dominions
series. Developed by a team of two, Johan Karlsson and Kristoffer Osterman, the game
is a strategic tour-de-force of limitless gameplay possibilities. A fantasy title of religion,
warfare, and might making right, with support for up to twenty-one players, the number
of possible variables to create a game is staggering. Featuring fifty nations, three magical
eras, thousands of units, spells, and items, and a random map creator, one could
experiment with all the various combinations from now until the grave. Factor in the
vibrant community support, with their legion of mods, and you have a game that could be
played well beyond the grave. If you've always worried that the afterlife would be one
dull eternity, just make sure you bring along a copy of Dominions 3. After an eon or two
you may end up scratching the surface.

While still early in the release Dominions 3 has been both selling like mad and being
talked about all over the world. From the official Sci Fi channel magazine, to Lloyd
Case's podcast, to Finnish, French, and American magazines, Dominions 3 is being
heralded as a superior example of strategy gaming. If you have not experienced
Dominions yet be sure to grab the demo, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, located
on the same page as the patch link.

Dominions 3: The Awakening may be ordered through the Shrapnel Games e-store, the
Gamers Front, for only $54.95. All three binaries ship on one CD, and the game comes
with a spiral-bound, in-depth 300 page manual written by noted writer Bruce Geryk.

Great

Why is this not listed on the "press releases" column on the left?

[PhilD]

Quick tests seem to show some loss of performance while doing graphics (battle replays, lab screen, and so on). This is with Windows.

I didn't change anything in the PC's setup, and I tend to have several apps running simultaneously. Switching to "graphical" screens was very sluggish.

[Ygorl]

The instructions for the Mac OS X version, if followed, will leave you with only one map (as the new maps folder replaces the old one). Really, though, you should make a little script or installer or something that does the job. Or, I'd even be willing to do it.

[Johan K]

I guess we should for both Mac and Linux. But lack of time made it this way instead. No auto patch = more time for patch contents.
