Default Re: How old are Dom2 players?

I was deleted (no harm, no foul Gandalf ) but am determined! The average age of Dom2 players is...(drumroll please)... 31 (31.66 to be weirdly more precise yet not exact)! Now I suppose this is exactly the right place in time to declare my 31-ness. Yes, it's true, I am the average Dom2 player. As such, I shall regularly triumph against the AI... and regularly fail in MP. I shall come up with 'undefeatable strategies' and have them defeated. I will find the best nation and theme (over and over and over again as my tastes change or I become Enchanted with a new magic spell/item). I will put dozens of hours into perfecting a pretender/nation combo - then use something else less powerful just for the fun of it. But mostly, I will enjoy this wonderful forum filled with Dom2 players just like myself

Heehee. Excellent post. Yes you seem to have it down pat.

Oh and maybe one more. And even before you feel you have a grasp for the game you will still jump to every chance to try and convince other people that its the best game there is.

Well, I have it a little easier where I tend to preach this. As I run the place as a totalitarian dictatorship, I simply pronounce it to be the best game I have ever played. Anyone who attempts to badmouth the game and imply that it is in any way less than awesome is punished harshly for blasphemy.

Good to know. 34 and counting. Married etc. Nice to know that real humans play this game and like it.

Suppose however that the large majority (> 90%) of players is male? Are there more than say 3 female persons who visit this forum?

Bump.

I hope bumping this poll doesn't offend anyone.

I would like to see how the facts have changed, or if they have changed, now that Dominions II has gotten all those new players.

The facts when posting this message were:

code:
 
Less than 15: 1, 1 %
15-19: 6, 5 %
20-24: 24, 18%
25-29: 31, 23%
30-34: 33, 25%
35-39: 18, 14%
40-44: 12, 9%
45-49: 4, 3%
50-54: 3, 2%
55-59: 0, 0%
60 or more: 1, 1%

total votes: 133

Should other "Who/what/where are you" polls be bumped? I quess not, and because of that am ont doing that.
