Oh it must be true then, the etablishment tries to censore the news

It's all a conspiracy. But you didn't hear it from me.

So, did anyone notice that the ShrapnelGames links on the side show an announcement of the "3.10 Megapatch", in spite of already having 3.15 sitting snugly on our computers?

EDIT: They even show the 3.14 update. At least that shows that it's intentional :S
*checks links* Ahh, that seems to be a result of their automated system. Oh well.

Yeah, that area displays the latest news, starting with the most recent on top. As new news items occur it'll cycle.

But Edi, it is true, you know.

It is the project we have been working on the past year. That's why we had to release the 3.15 without the final input from the beta group. 3.16 was intended for this major reworking since we released 3.06. We figured .10 versions later would be a good time to release it and revolutionize the SP as well as the MP experience.

We also intend to include real time diplomacy. An entirely new gaming concept of bickering and politics.

This will be played out in celestial debates between gods of the Pantheon over the rights to decide the battles on the world below. Yield or take the right to manifest yourself in the battle and be there to decide the outcome. Loose the right to manifest and your armies will become bewildered and lost.

Battles no longer decided in the field. They are decided in the halls of the Pantheon. This has made battles more efficient and streamlined, since your enemy have no control or power over the outcome. This has made all units and summons viable, and modding is now easier than ever. With only a sprite and a description needed you can add whole new nations with just a couple of hours work.

Real time diplomacy will bring a revolution to the gaming industy. And dominions was there first. Happy to have you on board!

Am I just a sociologist or do I sense a deeper message in this? especially the next to last paragraph.

You realize you're playing right into Kristoffer's hand.

I think if the combat mode is made good, then it's a great thing.
However, since there are sometimes or often a lot of fights, I think there should also be an auto fight option.
Further, the battle should be a 'quick fight'. I really don't want a complete Total War battle simulation which takes half an hour (Especially if you can't offer the necessary graphics for such a mode).
I'd prefer a more symbolic fighting system like Master of Magic or Disciples 2.
