Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
The first dominions review that appeared on the net, which I unfortunately cannot find anymore, was even more off mark. That particular reviewer failed to realise that dominions was a TBS and wrote in his review that he left the game to get some food, and hoped that something would have happened after he returened, unsuprisingly nothing had. If I recall correctly he gave the game a whopping 4/100.
If anyone is still interested there are a few Online reviews collected at: http://www.illwinter.com/links.html. Of these I understand that CG Online at least is also a major magazine in the US. These reviews are for the most part fair and accurately descibes both the games strength and weaknesses.
*Edit particles third posted review is the one I was talking about.

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
the more generalist is the site (or mag), the less he will likes Doms I suppose. I just hope that this time big dedicated sites, like the Wargamer, will get a copy of dominions II, and pay him his due appraisal.
I suppose this PR stuff is handled by Shrapnel anyway

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
Well, both CGW and CG Online which I understand are the two biggest gaming magazines in the US gave Dom 4/5.

didnt knew that. If the review on these mags were positives, then it is even stranger that Doms I sold so confidentially. Or perhaps it means that Online mags arent a big factor in changing the buy/no buy decision of customers.
edit : time for a new poll

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
I've been introducing dominions in several mainstream gaming forums for the mac with equally dismaying results.
