I agree, and I love it. Now I can see why MP is better than SP, and to get into 2 or 3 games at a time to keep the interest in the game up.

Yeah shmonk, MP totally rules. I dont even understand anymore why people play SP. One thing to watch out for with MP games tho: as you move into the end-game your turns can sometimes get quite long (an hour or more). So if you have a lot of games all in the end phase you might get overwhlemed. Many MP players play in multiple games but stagger thier involvement. So once they reach late-game in one match, they will enter another match, knowing that the late-game will be over before the new game starts to take up too much time.

Talk about slow turns. I'm travelling now, in a hotel room in Florida, and this laptop I'm using is SOOO slow (all that my work had available to give me). My turns take almost 30 minutes just to completely do and review everything, and watching battles is even longer, even with most graphics turned off. It's a P2 366mhz, I guess at the extreme minimum requirements for Dom2.

But I can't wait to do more games, and I think I will wait until I return home before starting another MP game, assuming another beginner-type game is starting. I look forward to getting farther into this game also.

Turn 11

Vespur now tops the hall of fame well deserved. Freaking 3 airmage commanders throwing lightning bolts, casting windguide and summoning skeletons and that vision foe crosbow was nasty too.

A mysterious old *censored* decides to *censored* for *censored* and *censored*.

In the whisper something about a seed can now be ascertained.

Hmmm... very "interesting" events this turn. At least for me.

And this whispering business... a seed... what type of seed? An acorn? A sunflower? I must know!!

[Agrajag]

A seed?
Sound like the seed of omnisciense (sp?) to me =P

Turn 12

Some weird crap happens.

A seed gets planted.

Dagan's contract with Marignon is almost over.

The first link should be changed to something like: http://www.sangster.org/dominions/grimorie.php

Alternatively, you should "hide" that long URL, by using the ["url=address] text [/url] code (without the initial ").
