Is anyone having fun with this game?

[bleach168]

I hate this game.












For eating all my free time.

Heh. It's fine entertainment for oddballs like myself.

I also love to work llike mad at the strategywiki http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dominio...le_of_Contents

Heehee. My wife asked what I was doing. I have Dom3 running on 3 different machines from my desktop (it could be 5 but that would just be insane). She is surprised that I havent loaded it on her machine and LAN'd it into the mix.
I guess maybe Im addicted.

My Old Desktop Machine:
Playing a solo testing the variables on my EA Pangaea before I post it here

My New Dual-Processing Desktop:
running random tests on the map generation trying to figure out how the map color commands work

My Newer Linux Server:
running a script over and over to try and create a huge maximum settings map that I like. When I get one I want I will start serving some huge games on it while I work on fixing any bad neighbor commands. Then I will start modifying the provinces to get a map that is downloadable since I dont think too many people can generate one this big. On my server (which is also doing internet for a couple of hundred people) it takes 2-3 hours to generate one map.
11000x11000 pixels
1500 provinces
20% water
50% mountains (creates a maze/labyrinth style map)
anti-alias smoothing on and special colors

the Older Linux Server:
is also running Dom3. Many blitz and demo games

I should have mine today or Monday from NWS Online. I WILL be having fun...my kids were in diapers when Dom2 came out and now??? Where did the time go...Dom3 and they'll be married before my first campaign is over
Edit: Okay maybe not diapers, pull-ups.

Gandalf, to aid you who seem an optimist, in your own personal persuit of true happiness on earth, I offer you this observation: There are two kinds of people who frequent forums dedicated to niche turn-based fantasy strategy games. The first is the one who hasn't got enough of a personality/philosophy/life/social network/hugs from mommie and daddy, and doesn't really enjoy anything except by despising it, eating and drinking spite, hate, and bitterness, and then vomiting it out onto anything flawed that anyone else may find pleasure in. That sort of person should in my opinion be dropped into the heart of Sol as soon as convenient to the rest of us, in order to provide additional fuel so that we may continue enjoying the beautiful Earth past the looming 5 billion year mark.

The second sort are the ones who see that a thing is flawed, but love it anyway, not by ignoring the flaw or by being blind to it, but reveling in what the thing they love is, flaws and all. I feel that a thing's worth, atleast as it is discussed on a forum such as this one, is in the type of people that thing attracts. Here in this forum, I find myself surrounded by those I want to continue living on my planet, sharing my Earth. So in conclusion: Yes, I'm having fun. Yes I *****, yes I complain, yes I want more and better into the very heights and depths of infinity, but I want those things for Dom 3 because I'm in love with this game, joyfully, gleefully, past all point of reason. And I think that fact, not that I spend all my free time playing the game-and I do, believe me-but the fact that I spend all the *rest* of my time here on these boards, surrounded by the people I want to be surrounded by, discussing the thing I want to discuss, proves that I'm having fun. We all are.

Looks like HoneyBadger has been into the "happyjuice" again..

Let me just point out that the sun is fueled by Hydrogen fusion, and thus supplying it with the body of a human can only do it harm by absorbing some of the heat energy into incinerating that person.
It would probably be more useful to bury them for nutrients for plantlife to supply us with a less CO2 rich air.

Astral Travel not working makes me sad; the spell sits there, taunting me with its promises of army movement.

It lies!

I see it a lot, as every free moment not involving my loved ones gets eaten by the game.

I love the game, don't regret the money I spent on it, and recommend it to my TBS-liking friends.

It works fine for me, give it a try.
