OT - Dominions: Preists, Prophets & Pretenders

[PvK]

Is there a sequel??

I got hooked on the demo and bought the game right away. I think it's outstanding, and well-suited to my tastes. I particularly like that each soldier is tracked for experience and Lasting injuries, and that the combat system is realistically deadly and fair, and not based on the abominable D&D-esque patterns of most fantasy computer games (where experienced characters take 500 times as many blows to kill as a regular soldier).

The spells are quite varied and imaginitive, as are the different magical and non-magical units. Combat is automated but the tactics of arranging units into Groups with different positions and orders is quite good, I think.

I don't really wish there were much more to build. I think it's quite appropriate that a wizard leader would not find many RTS-esque "buildings" to construct in a medieval world, although more castle options would be good.

I don't have very many quibbles, though. The AI has remained quite difficult to overcome (at least not without a lot of tough fights). Tons of stuff to discover. Massive battles. Great magic widgets and varied strategies and techniques to play with.
