f you wanted a COMPLETE rewrite then it wouldn't be a new version. It would be a new game.

Yeah..... That's kinda my point. New versions usually don't require as much work as new games and the price tag should reflect that.

Heehee. Nice concept but that isnt much of a deciding factor. The price needs to reflect what it takes to get us the next version. As far as Im concerned this game is a rare gem in a very limited market.

By the way, I own 5.

Hmmmm.... If I didn't know any better, I'd say I'm fairly outnumbered. I could post graphical pictures between two games in a series, show comparisons between hours spent between a new level in Unreal 2008 and a map in Dom3, but, I've no time and you all have valid and logikal reasons which I don't think I'll be able to prove wrong.

In the end, I've realized no matter how much time one puts into something, the end result is what's important. That just because a company spends 4 days installing CAT5 wiring in my house, it doesn't make the installation any better quality.

( BTW Gandalf, why buy 5 copies when you'll only use 1-3? Couldn't you just donate the extra money? =P ) Cheers all!

Edit~ removed comparison paragraph (and sentences relating to it) between dom3 and broad philosophical view that really didn't fit in... at all

Unlike mere mortals, Gandalf has the ability to play Dominions 3 on 5 computers at the same time-which he does in various corporate-sponsored charity multi-player games.
Unfortunately, while incredibly gifted, he is poor, and only owns one computer. The other four computers have been generously donated by friends, who retain ownership.

And that's why Gandalf was forced to use his mother's pension money to purchase 5 copies of Dominions 3.

Hmmm Im abit confused by the post. It started out right.

I do have a 5 machine network at home. And I have 2 servers which I host Dom3 games on (one public and one beta). And actually I used my own pension money. Ive been retired for over a decade.

Now consider that not only do you not know if I am playing in your game, but you dont know how many nations Im playing in your game. MUHAHAhahahahahah!

Out of curiosity, Gandalf, if you don't mind-what did you do before you retired?

HoneyBadger · #6 June 5th, 2007, 02:56 PM

Oh, nevermind, you've got it on your homepage.

A couple of your links are broken by the way.
