600 units? Guys don't be clowns. You know that most of the units are useless. You won't use more than 90% of those units. IW put in 1000 to Doms II. It is a great addition? To me: NO
I guess the IW scripter didn't wanted to add more complex things, like diplomacy. Instead they added 400 units. Yes it is lot more easier, that is for sure.
Spells? Heh yeah we have lot of spells. The problem is that you won't use the majority of these spells. Just like the units.
When you know what to do, you won't. Simple as you know what.
So what we have more other than a huge amount of useless units/spells? Basically nothing. That is the truth.
That is why I am pissed about Doms II. There won't be major gameplay additions. Too bad. New units, new spells....what a joke. Instead of 500 useless units, now we will have like 850.

I frankly have no idea why you are pissed. No one is trying to trick you into doing anything. You have no stake in the development of dom 2. You have not paid anything for dom 2. So why are you pissed? Exactly what about a small group of people designing and making a game they themselves enjoy, implementing features they like and selling it to other people that share their tastes, is it that pisses you off? Is it somehow offensive to you that illwinter make their own game the way they want it, and in their own freetime work on changes they enjoy doing?
