Has someone played this game?
I was playing the Demo, and really enjoyed it.
Looks like a great game to play by mail.

Good game, very good game.
For grognards aficionado only, not for the faint of heart !

Can bet you already played the R'lyeh bastards!

I was reading some reviews that pointed this, but to me was not a hard problem. Well, maybe in big maps would be somewhat tedious check every province to give the orders.

Really this game have everything! Yea, it's a lot better than MOM (IMHO of course!), and for a newbie like me, the AI was fairly good.

That game is much more complex than SE4. But I bet in a few weeks I'll start getting bored slaughtering the AI. But I haven't tried gigantic maps yet.

That will mean : time for humans to learn to fear the name of Cthulhu !

I played Dominions I for a few months before (and after) Dominions II, and my record against the AI so far is looking like it will be about 2 wins and 2 losses. Though in the two games I lost, I was experimenting a bit. I tend to enjoy "roleplaying" my side more than just trying to be as potent as possible. Difficulty can be turned up via the settings, and your empire design.

I've still only tried playing a fraction of the available nations and themes, and I'm still constantly running into new units, spells, tactics and situations.
