Recruting new players - Mission Impossible?

[HotNifeThruButr]

To me, the problem isn't about complexity, it's about the lack on action. Your average gaming dolt needs an action packed game to keep them interested, but Dominions doesn't give them that. The computer controls your battles, and all the orders you give happen next turn. Most people aren't made of a tough enough stuff to endure this, and quickly get bored and go play some corny game like Diablo.
