Another Mac user - yeah!

I am also glad that Dom II will be out for OS X - that Unix base paying off…

Escape Velocity: Nova is a pretty fun game - I haven't played it in quite a while though - now available for windoze too: www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn

p.s. I like Nick Cave also.

I think that gaming has nothing to do with ages...If you like to play games, why should you stop?
I dont get it.

Surely not computer gaming...I think that gaming is for young ppl, up to like 18 or max. 20 years olds.
If your like 25 30 or 40+ , its weird to me, that you are playing comp. games.
Maybe it is just me..

Yep, its just you, I am 29 JK is 30 Kristoffer is 31 Serra is 33, we all play computer games occasionally, and we more or less have at least one dominions pbem running all the time. I imagine most game developers play computer games and are 25+. I thought that most dominion players would be at least 20, probably older. There was even a discussion in the shrapnel dom2 beta forum if some of the content in dom2 was suitable for teens, the consensus was that not many teens were likely to play the game anyway due to its not so top of the line graphics and steep learning curve.

*edit so the target audience is old weirdoes *

what I find really comforting, is not to find many old timers there (I'm 35 btw), but to find also many teens or young adults playing dominions.

so kudos to the youngers of this forum, for having interested in games which dont count on your frag speed, or how you handle the bunch of blurried sprites in games like warcraft III.

so much for the niche genre, Misters publishers.

@JO
Ummmm...
What would be unsuitable for teens in Dominions II?

@Pocus
Thank you!
So, i'm still the youngest Dominions player around here? Remember that i started playing Dominions something like 2 years ago.
