Can't answer the first question... with regard to the second question, the AI isn't competetive in the early game. This means that even if it were very good at endgame tactics, it would tend to arrive at the endgame with a significant disadvantage.

In some ways the AI is improved over Dom I. However some of these improvements seem to have been passed by as far as changes to the game. Independent archers, for example, more intelligently target the back ranks where leaders and mages are to be found; on the other hand, missile precision seems to have been downgraded between Dom I and II to where you can no longer hit at the same range.

Ctis, Marginon, and Abyisa at a minimum, and probably Tien Chi as well.

Hmm. How much do Soul Gate and Ashen Empire cost, now that Broken Empire is the default?

50 points. You won't really notice the cost when designing an Ermor pretender, however. With all the negative scales you can take, you have plenty of points to spend.

Any chance I could get a copy of the Item List that shipped with the game? I would be more than happy to show my order from Gamers Front (It has shipped but is not here yet) to prove that yes I did buy the game.

Thanks,
Sammual

Thank you for the Origian map or whatever that big one is.

Thank you for making default Pangaea even more of what I thought Pangaea was doing interesting. (bigger better sneak army)

I still miss my Lord of Night but the other new gods are interesting.

Pangaea Longbows (centaurs) dont seem to have an option to fire at the rearmost?

And I know Harpys were toned down as patrollers but then you made speed a patrolling factor. Harpys have a speed of 4 ?!?

What I want to know (while I wait) is:

1) Does it have a sh*tload of maps? Including the European one?

and

2) Is there more music than is in the demo?
