that this is a game built around PBEM
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

About the only thing I can think of that could really use some improvement *IS* the battle orders. Order queues for all units, just like commanders, would be nice, as well as "move to waypoint" orders. Conditional IF/ELSE orders would also have been nice. And, of course, some more basics, like "Hold and Fire", and "Stand Ground". Hell, I'd settle for an order queue with an order which consists entirely of "MOVE FORWARDS". Who needs attack rear, when you could instead queue an order like "MOVE FORWARDS, MOVE FORWARDS, MOVE FORWARDS, MOVE FORWARDS, ATTACK CLOSEST"?
