I have a strong board-game back-ground (Diplomacy, Avalon Hill and GDW games, etc). I am used to play double-blind games (my all time favourite for grand-strategy is the Euro Front series from Columbia Games) with limited info where I have to use spies/scouts/what-ever to gather correct intelligence. But most of all I am used to gain a general view of the game with a single glance on the map, so that it can be used as the basis for diplomatic actions. That single glance in Dominions is the stats page, and it is quite difficult for me to adjust myself to that, and there seems to be absolutely limited basis for diplomacy then. In effect, the fun-factor for me is missing then.
Notice, I understand well others prefer the information limited. I used to be that like myself in 80's when playing PBM Diplomacy
But then I grew out of it
