Re: What makes a skillful Dom 3 player?
Edi is so right that it's not even funny. Just from a casual glance at the database, I learned things about my situation ingame that led to large differences in gameplay.
Encyclopedic knowledge is key.
You can have poor diplomacy and win from a corner of the map, or even with luck and gumption as your potential opponents slaughter each other for being too visible.
You can think everything has a use and get proved wrong time and time again as people who utilize key units and tactics slaughter your motley crew.
Knowledge of magic, how it's used, when, what you can do with different paths at different levels of research is essential to Dom3 mastery.
Min/maxing your empire according to its strengths and weaknesses is extremely helpful and ties in to all-around game knowledge. Learn everything you can, the game is deep.
With a general knowledge of tactics, and a vast knowledge of game minutae, you are a very dangerous nation indeed... even if you never so much as glance at your game forum thread, never send a message to a neighbor, and never trade a gem.
