it is just that:

a) dominions is a game noted for higher strategic gameplay
b) dominions focuses on battles, with minimal building/researching/exploring framework (minimal, but crucial)

therefore, just because a game focuses on battles, doesn't mean it lacks higher strategic gameplay.

I just thought it was really funny that, on a dominions forum, you would remark that because a game focused on battles, it must have little strategic meat.

so no insult or hard feelings were intended

Sorry about the misunderstanding. WHen I said higher strategic gameplay I meant that it appears to lack a larger picture. While its true that battles are important in dominions, the forging, diplomacy, ritual casting, research, etc are also a huge part. GSB seems to lack that. I consider planning a single battle to be tactical, as opposed to a campaign, which is strategic.
