Or for that matter you know you've been playing too much when EVERYTHING seems to be an accessory. We have had threads on background screens, screen savers, music, snacks, and alcohol as far as I can remember.

You know you have been playing too much dominions when..
you find yourself putting your wife/girlfriend into the game instead of spending more time with them.

(and realize you are part of a really strange community when a thread shows that you werent unusual for doing it)

Telling the missus, "I named my goddess after you" doesn't go a long way when she's annoyed at too much time on the old pc.

I find that Dom3 helps me understand some political things. Such as, that maintaining one force to respond after an attack is much cheaper than maintaining many to try and avoid the attack.

And the concept of "pretender gods" battling over followers is helping me to get a grasp on US party bantering lately.

At work, I head up our Product Development Meetings. This is often abbreviated to PD Meeting, leading me to imagine our company having a volunteer defense force.

Well, everything *is* an accessory, Gandalf. You, for instance, are the prophet of Kristoffer, while Edi is Johan's prophet

You are concerned about doing a turn on vacation, because you do not trust a sub to get it right.
