Not just a great game, but a wonderfully complex and well-written game with its own history and cultures to explore. More options and cool stuff to see than any other game I've ever played.

The best.

Thanks.

I agree. I loved Dominions 1, and have been eagerly awaiting Dominions 2. I've spent the Last week playing the demo and putting pressure on my friends to order Dominions 2.

Yes, despite all my complaints I see dom2 has much potential if IW will polish it up a bit, which I am confident they will since they supported dom1 so well.

I know Illwinter is aware that I love their game. Ive put more personal time and resources into this game than I have my own MUD game since I found Dominions. Ive also bought more copies of it than any other game Ive ever owned (buying mutliple copies is common at my house) and sales-pitched quite abit more purchases.

When I first tried the demo I was perplexed and unimpressed. The units were too small for my old eyes, the music was weird, and the gameplay was unintuitive. But I kept at it, and gradually it began to make sense. The music seems haunting now, and the hours fly by as I puzzle out each move. The units are still too small for my diminishing vision, but I offer the highest accolade I can: I purchased the game, one of very few I bought this year. Kudos, Illwinter!

I have threatened my close friends (those who game) with personal bodily harm if they don't purchase a copy and allow my pangean minions to carve up their empires one by one.

I love the idea of a game with too much going on to see it all. This creates immersion for me; the ability to be surprised by a game I have played hundreds of time.

Kudos to Illwinter and Shrapnel and a special thanks to those of you who are helping with questions and being good ambassadors for this community.
