Does anyone play more than 1 nation simultaneously?

There isnt. There is creativity. Sorry but Im a basic hacker. A lot of us found ways to use things differently than the programmers meant them. Gems, gold, and items are built into the messaging menu now (originally it would only allow sending them to human players but I asked that to be changed in Dom1)

The others are trickier. Allowing someone to take your provinces, parking a commander to be traded all by itself in a lone province so that your ally can snatch him with spells, and sliding thru your allies territory by shoving his army into a castle while you conquer it then move on so he can take it back.

Uh... I play all the nations at once.
How else can I get a good idea of how they match up against each other?

Well, there are some nations I would never consider playing. Whenever I play fantasy-type of a game, I never consider evil or monster-type of races. So I never even tried the Orcs or the Undead in Warcraft III. Similarly, I would never consider playing Ermor, Atlantis, Ryleigh, C'tis, Abysia, Pangaea, etc.

I doubt I'd ever play Caelum either, as they look a bit weak, and hit & run style is not my style.

Why on earth not?

There is always redemption!

Also this game is so in depth, it boggles my mind trying as I look at all the options and I want to try and maximize all of them.

A brief note on Caelum: though I do not have Dom 2 yet, I will say this vis a vis Big C- They used to be quite astoundingly powerful. Fun, too! Give them a shot when you're done with Marignon!

Best regards,

Mark

Besides, there is Broken Empire that is still alive, Atlantis doesn't NEED to be bad, C'tis can use nature more than death if you want and Pangaea is just trying to found WHF...

Abysia still likes demons, though, and R'lyeh seems nasty, but you know what? You should 'know your enemies'. It really helps when you have tried them and noticed where you had difficulties, and then use those things versus them in the next game.

BTW, it's nice to see someone being that interested in Dominions.

Keep posting! Though most times it's not me who is answering...
