I don't like the AI. It is too weak.

Things have changed from Dom I. Clearly.
I realy have liked the game this far.
The only thing i have to nitpick about is that bless doesn't give you any visual effects.

Wow, you know this already, do you? You must be running the demo on, like, 10 different computers to make such a definitive statement so soon after te demo was released

P.S. I just noticed... if you want to reply to me, you'll have to address me as "Sarge"! =)

Yes Sarge. Since I rolled 3 AIs on normal level on the first map 3 times in a row...easily...yes I guess it is weak.

Hmmm. I only played against AI's on their hardest setting in DOM I, except for a couple nations like Ermor and Jotunheim (their darn nether darts...) Try again against impossible computers.

***INTERFACE PROBLEM***

What I noticed so far is that unit stats are no longer aligned!

I mean, I like the fact that it says "Attack Skill", that's nice and informative... but... since the names of the stats have different numbers of characters, it's hard to see all the stats at a glance, down a column. I would suggest moving all the unit stat numbers farther right so they are aligned in a column, like in Dominions I.

I dont like if the AI is cheating. [Harder diff. level means that the AI is cheating.]
