Make sure you buy your game from a reliable source, if you get a pirated copy you won't be able to play with the new patch. Read the thread below.

*whining voice* You might not be totally serious but I just removed some stickies because I thought there were too many. I was only brave enough to remove ones that seemed clearly redundant. Cant we add it to the newbies FAQ instead? We should be trying to get them to read those anyway.

I would hate to see a sticky appear for every Frequently Asked Question. Maybe we need a sticky that says READ THIS FIRST and put links to some of the larger re-occuring subjects.

Gandalf,
I wasn't serious

And you're right, stickies filling all the screen aren't pleasant. BTW you could remove some - or rather group some- of all those dealing with various demo/tech problems (demo d/l, doesn't work with this or that weird platform, crappy fps with obscure graphics card ..).
Else a tech forum shouldn't be a bad idea neither

The game is worth exactly what you are willing to pay for it, just like everything else in life.

I don't mind the extra $10 too much, since I am a staunch supporter of the smaller development shops. If this is the price they need to charge to pay the bills and keep working on this incredible game, then I'll pay it. It appears that many other people are, too. If you can't afford it now, save your pennies. It is worth it.

Yep, Zen, seems like a new post with this topic is once every 2-3 days. Is it worth it? I bought it AND paid for the express shipping, which came to $63.95. Didn't waste a penny, IMO. Looking to my right, I see...oh, about $1,000.00 worth of games I've purchased and accumulated over the years. Replay value? Hmm, once every couple of years I might decide to re-play an old favorite, but most are "play through to the scripted end and shelve it". Dominions 2 is like learning to play chess. It takes a long time even to be able to call yourself an intermediate player, let alone anything near an expert. I anticipate the replay value of this game is worth that of 10 or more games. As long as you like the demo (ie: you're the type of gamer who enjoys this type of game), it's well worth the measly 50 bucks.

I agree with the sentiments of Targa and sachmo below: if this is what it takes for brilliant small design studios like Illwinter to survive, then it's a small price to pay. We as gamers have a responsibility to support small design companies that put out unique and addictive game software, like Dominions 2.
