I've just purchased the game, glad I found it!

I'll try it, thanks. I hope it's not a demo that ends too quickly.

The demo ends on turn40, only some spells are available and you're limited on the nations you can play. It's definitely enough to learn the basics of the game.

I noticed that Dominion 3 was "out of stock" when I ordered it, hopefully the shipment of the full version of 3 won't be too delayed.

The sooner you place your order the better because it places you closer to the front on the waiting list compared with another individual who orders the game 4 weeks from now.
Not sure why it's listed as 'out of stock' when ShrapnelGames has not even started making the CDs yets. The 'out of stock' statement will also have some customers not make a purchase.

I do think putting the manual online, monster database, etc. would be great, so if anyone knows of such let me know.

You won't find the manual online, but there's some helpful spreadsheets about the game.

Now that I've seen the cover art for Dominion 2 I'm kicking myself, I could have bought it a while ago at a store but didn't recognize it as the game I read the article about. I got Masters of Orion 3 instead. Bah.

I heard MoO_3 was a disappointment to most gamers. I almost bought the game luckily I waited and avoided this purchase.

I bought it, as I like 4X games. It's probably a good game once you know how to play, but the problem is I couldn't for the life of me get into it. I did try, and believe me, I do have a patience with hard-to-learn games, but every attempt I made ended in failure.

It had some interesting-looking concepts, but in the end I just gave it up. Sad.

Pity Stars! Supernova Genesis got cancelled. It'd have rocked.

I didn't even know they were working on a sequel to Stars! What a shame it got cancelled. I found a copy of it in EB for 10 bucks back when they were selling used PC games. Very good game.

Okay, the demo for Dom2 just made me cranky, now I REALLY want to play Dom3. I can't wait to play the C'Thulu race (forgot the name). Not very user friendly, but I expected worse from some of the reviews.

Moo3 was okay, but a disappointment from Moo2, and it's still buggy years after release. I really enjoy GC2, but also can't get it to run very well on my new Dell and I'm just waiting for the patch at this point.

Stars! was a great game, I agree. Is the Space Empire V on this board comparable?

Okay, I want a download of the full Dom2 to pass the time until 3 comes out. A free download for every paying customer!

R'lyeh. It's called R'lyeh.

Ahhh, R'lyeh and it's lobo wave attacks...

I loved stars (still have it on my machine).
But I consider Space Empires to be well above Stars. Im playing Space Empires IV with giant universes and 150 different races for it to choose the opponents from. And thats after I trimmed it down.

I havent tried Space Empires V (it hasnt released yet but it should soon).

Yeah, SEV is out very soon. I will buy the game of course. Anyways I wonder that it will be better then Galciv2 or not. I already stopped to play with Galciv2, the game is not addictive enough to be honest. Doms 2. is much more addictive.

If you're interested in Space Empires, SE4 is now only $10 (download version) so you might as well pick it up.
