Pre-ordering is a benefit not for the buyer...

Goodnes, a fellow finn with same problem as I have.

Except my VE can't order stuff abroad.

I got Dom:PPP when my dear godmother bought it from an otherwise non-games computer shop in Helsinki. I have since visited there once myself, just to see the place from where I received the Swedish blessing.
I hoped to get DomII for my birthday in December or Christmas, but for some reason my parents thought it to be better for me to wait until summer holidays.
Thankfully, I have no problems with Dom!!!. Being 18 does help, even if I don't care about alcohol or cars.

Do you other Finns remember the wonderful, wonderful review the Pelit magazine wrote for DomII? It was titled 'Tulkoon sinun valtakuntasi' (May thy kingdom come). I adore it. I have thought about scanning, printing & framing it. As far as price is concerned, if reading the review of a game I'm already familiar with makes me giggle, laugh and act unnervingly happy, it is worth its price. How did Gandalf sum it up, again? Digitalized crack? Pixelized crack? He was right!

I've read it. The best, but politicaly incorrect, subtitle there was "Nothing new on the West Bank"...

Actually "Uutta länsirintamalta", literally "New on the Western Front" but better as "Something new on the Western Front". Sweden is Finland's western neighbour.
If those titles didn't fit the game that well, I'd have thought that the religious title and subtitles would be incorrect.

I just realized we conquered this thread. Sorry, Argitoth!

Damn, I have totally missed it. I read their small introduction for Dom 1 but not for Dom 2. I didn't even know they had done one. Who was the editor of that article? Niko Nirvi? His articles are definetely the best! I can't wait to see the introduction for Dominions III!

Yes, Gandalf that idea for an account for e-shopping is very handy indeed. I would consider it, if my original account had any money to be stolen. Mail-in check sound a bit too complex for a mortal, but frankly, I didn't even consider one earlier.

And of course, sorry for capturing this thread. (Newcomers have to be polite, but just wait a couple of months.)

February 2/2004. It was written by Mikko Rintasaari, but in the 'good' they had "pomminvarma moninpeli" (fantastic multiplayer), so I can't be sure about who else took part in the testing. The names of the pretenders shown were too conservative to tell much (namely, Odin the Allfather and Nyarlathotep the Void Lord).

I'll send you a PM, or personal message. Look for a flashing letter icon near your screen name on the top-left part of the page.

I believe that Israelis ride Merkavas and live in Cisjordania
Am I right ?

PDF, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if you kept your political opinions to yourself, I really don't want to turn this thread into a flamewar.

Ok, but I couldn't refrain from this one, after the camel/tent reference

[Agrajag]

Then how about:
"I believe that Israelis ride exploding busses and live in constant fear of terrorism"?

There's much more to be said and flamed, but seeing as all of this is completely irrelevant and is approaching flame-baiting, we are obligated by the forum rules not to do it, even if its hard to refrain from it...
