Some Newbie questions...

[Darryl]

I just heard about Dominions Last week and started playing the demo. I'm using a walkthru I found here:

Great for someone who never played the game by the way. That PDF that comes with the demo told me nothing. But I have a few questions and comments:

What is a "Death Match" and how do I send a champion to it?

What is up with these proclamations? "Noemon the Centaur Commander shall hereby be known as the prophet of Urbuthre". I don't give a &^$&*^%*!! Or should I??

Can you change the names of your commanders? It seems to give default names to everyone and they mean absolutely nothing to me and I keep having to click to see what kind of troop each one is. I remember basically what a Jarl is, but the name given to the specific commander....?

Even more....I stacked a BUNCH of troops (about 25 - hey it's a lot for a newbie playing with giants!) with a commander named Eitre...a few turns later I recruited a priest with the same name and didn't notice (he had no troops). Guess which one I sent into battle to take a province? I got upset and thought that the entire army was killed or dispelled or something when I lost the battle! (my video card is old and runs battles at 1.266 fps so I've just been looking at the results)

What is a "Super Combatant"? Is that an "official" designation or something people just call units that are "really powerful"?

What is a "theme"?

Thanks in advance.
