you might want to consider buying used, or reselling when you're done with them.

Your saying I should purchase an entire 747 airplane even tho I only need it for two weeks. I need something that's more financially realistic. We could do hotseat so why go thru all the financial hassle your suggesting.

Irrelevant. Would you ask Boeing to sell you a plane for less, because you're not going to use it much? No. An airline buys the jet -- for full price -- and attempts to recoup its costs by renting passage to people who don't need it full ownership all the time.

You want to pay less because you're not going to use it that often? Find somebody who'll buy it and sell its use to you for a limited time. Boeing isn't obligated to offer you that choice; nor is Illwinter.

My point is there isn't a high price for multiplayer hotseat and shouldn't be for multiplayer LAN. Hopefully a thrid option will appear.

It'd require more protection measures, such as CD checks. The first Version didn't even require the CD to be in the drive, which was a prerequisite for all the "one CD per three players in your IPX game" bit.

In addition, bear in mind that spawning was usually supported only by RTS games which included a completely separate single-player campaign -- i.e. content which was locked out to people who only played in multiplayer games, and which thus offered an additional incentive to purchase. This does not exist for Dominions II.
