has made me somewhat skeptical to claims that advertising would have significantly boosted sales figures, especially considering the cost of an add in one of those magazines, or one of comparable size. The 'problem' seems to lie elswhere.

Maybe merging two methods would help. An ad showing what the game is like, and giving the link for them to download a free demo.

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
Hi,
Well, I wouldn't waste my time sending these twits a copy of D2. If they can't be bothered to figure out that it's TBS instead of CRPG. I've been writing reviews for over 20 years and I'd be ashamed to put my name on any of those.
That's not to say I would have given D1 rave reviews, but whatever the genre of a game, if one is to give it a fair review one must at least attempt to understand it. These people made no such attempt.
Ciao,
V'ger gone

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
Yeah, not being able to tell a TBS from RPG is simply pathetic...

Re: Old Dominions I. reviews....!
the guy which made the mistake was from a prety obscure Online mag. The reviews big sites were more 'educated'.

Well they dont deserve a free copy I agree. But my thought was to try and get rid of the bad reviews before people started searching for it.
The cost of one copy when compared to the loss of a few buyers.
