Default Some questions to Illwinter, not urgent at all

Where did Gifts from Heavens get it's name?

What was the "weird 3D dominions" project you mention in the manual?

1) Dunno. Seems fitting I suppose.

2) I havn't read the manual for some time, amd I don't have the printed one yet, so I can't answer theis atm.

I hope it is ok to quote these 2 sentences, Shrapnel. If not, feel free to edit them out. The quote is:

"...After a half year or so we decided that we [KO and JK] wanted to make a new game instead of making small changes to Dominions [:PPP].

We started on several ideas, including a strange 3D version of Dominions..."

That is from a great intro by KO himself! And the rest of the manual is very informative, thank you to all who helped.

I was also interested in the idea of a 3D dominions (space dominions coming next?).

The best part of the manual is this one though:

"There is an Amber Clan backstory that is essentialy to playing Dominions 3, it plays such a pivotal role in the game everyone should know it if they truly wish to get the maximum amount of satisfaction out of the game. Here it goes: The Amber Clan Tritons mainly frolic, this has made them powerful. While frolicking they liston to whale songs, this has made them magicl. When they occasionaly do not frolic they fashion items made out of the amber that is so prevalent in their special provinces, this has given them the name The Amber Clan Tritons"

I like quotes like these personally:-

'Early age man is not present in the released version of Dominions3. It is a nation of tuatha and sidhe called Tir n'an Og and will appear with one of the updates to the game.'

For several reasons.

1) We r going to get even more nations to play, as if 50+ is not enough.

2) I remember playing a adventure game called Tir n'an Og, on the spectrum 48k.

3) I really, really want to see what the tuatha and sidhe were like before man came along to destroy them.

I really like the wheel of time books, I do hope they bring the series to a conclusion thou.

I would also like to see if the Tir n'an Og explains Chelms's "curse" at all.
