Did you noticed.......

The only nice thing I can say about the demo is that the aesthetics of the game are much improved over Dom I.

I dearly wish they had kept the Dom I game and simply upgraded the graphics.

Im afraid that Im beginning to agree. Im eager to play the full game and try very hard to convince myself to start playing Dom 2 instead of Dom 1. Especially since Ive got half a dozen copies of Dom 1 and dont expect to do the same for Dom 2.

But then much of what was changed were things that were demanded loudly by lemmings who gave no good reason for demanding it. They dont realize that everything has its pros and cons. There is a price to be paid for shoving something onto the do-list. The full game isnt even out yet and we are seeing the same thing happen again right in this forum IMHO.

So Dominions I. is better? I didn't played with Doms I.
So what are the main probs with Doms II.? [Once again, I know about the bad strat AI. post anything else.]

What if we all wait for the full Version and then say which one of the games is better, mmmkay?

What do you vets think is worse about dom 2? The potential increased focus on supercombatants? And if they could rebalance that would it be better?

I found many changes nice myself, mainly anti-micro features, the lack of a need to patrol/tax, a greatly iproved interface. Only thing I'm lacking is the battle replay speed really. Personally I've found the AI in general to be much better now that old abuses have been removed, although I'm sure new ones can beat it just as well.

I've found Dominions 2 to be similar or superior in every regard, except 3:

1) Some bugs that snuck in
2) The overall lack of gold income
3) Inability to accelerate battles

What are these major problems that make you prefer MM-heck Dominions I to Dominions II?
