the trick is to have 2 games going at once on different computers. or have Dom on one computer and like Heros of Might and Magic on the other, or some such arraingment

Good idea, actually.

Although it's nice that Dom3 supports hotseat mode, it wouldn't be an option for our LAN sessions. I have two computers and we'd rather play another game than playing any game which makes trouble.
Especially since I still have to convince my friend that Dom3 is a good game. He tried the demo once himself after I told him about the game, but he had trouble to understand the game and since he isn't as stubborn as me if it comes to digging into a game, he lost interest. Therefore I better don't come up with restrictions like hotseat mode.

It would be great if Dom3 would support a spawn installation like starcraft did. Ahhh, those were the times when players were still treated nicely by the game companies... Almost unthinkable today, in times when games like C&C 4 wants to force a permanent internet connections even for single player.

I'm just waiting for the time I'm buying a board game like settlers of catan and get a note in the manual that I have to buy the game X times if I want to play with X players.

I sympathise, I really do. Just unfortunate that dom3 doesn't have the option. It's to try and reduce piracy/sharing I suppose.

Ideally the game should have included a game timer... as seen within Heroes_3 and AgeofWonders:ShadowMagic. I play hotseat with relatives and basically it takes 2 days before one turn passes.... still good fun!

We actually setup at least 3 computers with different TBS games and sometimes as many as 5 computers.
