Why such a high price?

the weapon reach effect is explained in the manual, but I understand your point : many mechanisms are not, lest you would have a compendium of 2500 pages

weapon reach : if your is greater than your foe, then he has a moral check to do in order to attack. If he fails, he cant attack, if he passes, he takes one hit and can attack.

if you have any question, the csipgs newsgroup could have responded to you. Now that his forum is active, most of you questions you can ask will be answered too I guess.

AoW is a totally different game lads. Dominions is not more complex than AoW. Dom does have huge amount of units, spells etc, but 'more' is not means 'better'.
The 2 games are on different overall quality...Frankly I love both games, but Dom II. should cost less than AoW for example.

more in the case of dominions lead to more complexity. I suppose you'll revise your opinion after having played one pbem of doms, before doing so, I dont think you should draw a so adamant conclusion about the game.

No offense meant, dont feel attacked on anything

Speaking about this....DOM 2. will have PBEM multiplayer only? I dont like PBEM..

There is TCP/IP as well.

yup with TCP/IP, you can trash your friends in a single afternoon (more often than not, you will eat the mud they feed you with

)

Dominions I is a great game.
But requires a lot of micromanagement and the end game is very tedious.
so much so that I usually stop my single player games at some point when I am sure to win.
I have noticed the same thing happened in most of my PBEM games.

I really hope this was solved in DOM-II.
I have been following the DOM-II progress for almost a year now. needless to say I am very excited about it. I will probably preorder the game

A word about AOW.
I agree it doesn't have an epic feel to it.
But it has it's merits. it has very nice interface (gpx+music), It's very easy to learn and play and it has a large community with tournaments and a (tough) ladder.

Still L liked MOM the best. I still hope to someday see a MOM-II. I do not understand how come it never had a sequel.
