Dom3minions.com awakens! (content added!)

Take a look at my and Gandalf's dom3minions.com!

Aaah, excuse me gentlemen and gentlewomen, I'm just quite psyched over this.

Nice! Which reminds me that the illwinter webpage really should get some dom3 info as well.

[DominionsFan]

Yeah! We need more and more fansites, come on people!
I will make a dominions 3 website for my mod, when the game is out, and I started to work on it.

PS. Johan, why IW aint updating the "official" website? It looks very poor, you guys should really work on it, or hire someone to do it. Perhaps a php or flash site would be the best.

The Wrath of the Mighty Konqueror shall smite thee, thou heathen! Thou shalst not let in the Destroyer of Worlds, the Executioner of Efficient Websites, the Immortal Foe of Text-Based Browsers, the Obscufated Ruler of All Formats, the Nemesis of Relevant Content, the Sovereign of Platform Dependency, Flash the Prince of the Land of Woe!

PHP wouldn't change anything for the end user, unless they ended up doing a ladder or some such. As for Flash, I guess you can see my opinion on the matter.

Hehe whats your problem with flash sites? There are tons of professional flash sites, and they are awesome! In fact the best flash sites are combined with php, because it is much more easier to update the data of the php sites.
Php sites are the easiest to manage, update etc. [php nuke is great for example]

One problem is I'm flashless. At least in linux.

You should be able to get Flash under Linux, if you don't mind. Firefox and the player from Adobe/Macromedia/whoever owns them now should work fine, and other browsers do have Flash plug-ins as well (I'm pretty sure Konqueror has one). Of course, that only helps with the technicality of getting Flash; everything else stays the same.

I see very little going for Flash, some specific sites excluded (they are in the minority). If you want to go impressive, CSS sounds a lot better to me, and happens to be a good deal easier to handle. I have been merely poking at Flash, but I won't delve into the details; if you are interested in that sort of thing, ten thousand people or so have already argued the case, and much better than I can ever hope to.

Alneyan check out this game site for example:

http://www.hitmanbloodmoney.com/

I think its pretty good. Not too much effects etc, everything is just perfectly enough in it. Btw Hitman: Blood Money gonna be released soon, and the demo is out in a few days, if you are interested.

I like the "Astral Bullets"

Just wondering: Do we not know the maximum number of players yet? And why don't more sites use those "overflow" css divs? Are they new, unpopular, or do they cause problems on certain browsers?

Thanks.

Well, in the Dominions? page the "1-14+" play means that there can be over 14 players. It varies from game to game. In Dom3 I think it is 21.

I don't know, this is the very first site I have coded from the start.
