Dominions 3: popularity rising?

moderation · #1 March 22nd, 2008, 02:45 AM

I've had Dominions 3 for about a week and I'm loving it. But if Dom 4 came out next month with a lot of improvements, particularly UI improvements, I think I would get it too. The SP is only so-so, but playing the demo in MP won me over. Also, Dom 3 fills that place in your gaming life that Master of Magic left behind.

Don't hold your breath for it. Based upon what I've read on this forum, there is a zero chance of Dom4 happening anytime in the close or medium future. Which is a damn pity IMHO.

On the positive side devs keep updating Dom3 and adding new content with the patches.

Yeah, I'm aware that Dom 4 is a longshot, but I thought I would add my support for the idea, just in case it counts later.

By the way, I found Dominions through Wikipedia's page on 4X games of all places. Not that I would want to use Wikipedia to propagandize the game, but it is a good information source.

I found Dom3 searching for a patch on a HOMM5 forum site (Homm5 had promise but what a debacle ). Refreshing to find and play Dom 3.

Penny-Arcade has a pretty active forum full of gamers, most of the comics tend to be game related as well, all it would probably take is one person properly posting and maintaining a thread to get a community going there. If it got popular enough for a front page article/comic there would be some serious traffic from it, given the number of hits the comic gets.

We've got a small to medium Dom3 community going in a thread on the Something Awful forums as well, usually with 2-3 games running concurrently. All it takes is one person enthusiastic enough to get the ball rolling.

All this talk of evangelizing makes me feel like have joined a cult.

But at least it is a fun cult.

Obviously, what we need to spread dominion are some blood sacrifices.
