Great game, awful name/branding

Yeah, the box and ads for Dom3 really ought to include a strategic map or unit display or something, not just the battlefield screen shots...

Sorry, but "nomen est omen".

Did you ever notice that Dominions is exaclty about that: the dominions of the various pretenders? Most likely not (yet), as you are new to the game ...
Armies, Assassines, Priests, Temples, Mages - there's only one purpose : to further the worshipping of the one and only god.

So it's very unlikely the game name would ever change. Maybe the subtitle, but that's it.

You missed the point. All I'm saying is that if someone is in a shop looking for a fantasy TBS, they're much more likely to pick up something called "Heroes of Might & Magic" with drawings of wizards and castles on the front than something called "Dominions" with abstract purple/blue art.

They can't change the name now of course, and I'm not suggesting it change. Just putting in my 2c as someone who would have bought it ages ago had I looked at it in the shops.
