So, thought I'd give an update on my dom3 experience.

I've now had the game for ~1 week, and I will say that it is the deepest, most engrossing, most thorough game I've ever played. Certainly worth the $60.

If I had to summarize my praise into a single comment:
Nothing in this game is certain.

In other words, there's no such thing as a "correct strategy"...every move you make is potentially game-winning AND potentially catastrophic. It's a true strategy game, not a puzzle, as is almost always produced in this genre.

To clarify, I don't mean "random event" uncertainty; I mean "I'll setup 2 identical games, play the same strategy in both and somehow have radically different strategic situations by turn 10" uncertainty.

I cannot imagine this game ever becoming repetitive or boring.

The minor inconstancies I've noticed have been just that: minor. Again, this is in stark contrast to most games, where the norm is to hide glaring thematic/logical problems behind snazzy explosions.

Good work.
