Yeah, my tone was a bit grumpy; I was disappointed by the demo for Dom3.

I agree that the map generation is probably not a big deal; it just shocked me with the 3 minutes it took to do so. But the turn processing time means that I just can't justify buying the game to myself. I spent more time watching turns process than playing them, and this on the first few turns of a 5-person game in the demo.

My machine's a 2 GHz with 768 MB of RAM; my graphics aren't the best, but my problem isn't with graphics processing.

Anyways, I played the heck out of Dom2 and probably will continue to do so. I'm even enamoured of the "no save" aspect. I just can't justify shelling out for (or recommending to friends) a game that I won't end up playing due to the fact that I won't want to wait for turns to process. I figure Ilwinter deserves to know that.

kimmuit,
What the heck do you expect when you state "I won't want to wait for turns to process" ?? [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img] It's like my 6-old son who claims he doesn't like soup !
So IW ought to know they'd better make an instantaneous turn process (good luck to them!) , but you that you seem to behave like a spoiled brat !
