Too many of the reviewers dont seem to understand (and therefor dont mention) that this is a game built around PBEM (play by email) which has its own pros and cons. Not managing battles is usually one.

You know if you go to the original post you made and hit "edit" you can change the subject, and add a note to the bottom about sarcasm.

Really? I am having fun with it as a single player game, for now... Maybe when I get better I'll be up to a PBEM game, though that could be a while. I only have one AI I am playing against right now. The indies are giving me enough of a challange. (though a beefed up pretender fixes that)

Did some one say something?

How long have you been playing Quantum?

Probably the best recommendation I have received since CIV2, and before that MoM...

About a month, I tried setting up a multiplayer at apolyton a week or so ago but for some reason Dominions seems almost totally unknown there. So hopefully we will start a chain reaction and in no time Dominions will have it's own forum .

But I have to agree with one point...

I mean come on... why had it to be "sancta maria"? Praises to the mother of jesus are not exactly what I want to hear while my blood fire moloch brings doom to the living

I guess, you haven't met any AI programmers yet
