Dominions 2 is a pretty fun game, but it might not be to your taste.

Time will tell. So far I'm scratching my head, wondering why so many others seem to find it such fun.

But I guess it takes all kinds. Railroad Tycoon is a big hit, and I once bought a copy just to see what all the fuss was about. But it didn't work; I still don't know. I've never liked trains or investing, so as far as I'm concerned, the game sucks. (It has some good music, though.)

I'm no fantasy-fiction buff, but I am a longtime wargamer (started in 1968). So Dom2 has some of what I like. But it probably won't be to my taste if it's too heavy on the economic or research dimensions. When I play a wargame, I'm in it for the war.
