Default Re: I Was Ripped OFF!

The Dominions 1 was done very differently. It let you finish a game, even multiplayer, using all the nations. But it "greyed out" some of the units for each nation.

But Im not sure how the Dom2 demo can be called a rip-off
After all, it was a free download. Didnt it mention that it limited turns, research, and which nations you could play?

Besides Shrapnel.com? There's also Gogamer.com, who has it for $39.90 at this link.

Now we need to get David G hooked so we can get his images instead of just modding the old ones.
MUHAHAHahhahahaha!

Default Re: I Was Ripped OFF!

You download demos? I never bother with demos: They're never a compelling example of why I should buy the game. I mean, sure, you can look at it, and like what you see in the demo....but if that's what I like, why do I need to buy the game? That's clearly not what I'm purchasing the game for. It's like going to an automobile showroom, and being told you can only test-drive the "demo car", which is like the actual car, only missing all of the features that you actually want to buy the thing for, such as brakes and a steering wheel. Or tires, for that matter, since the demo car is jacked up on concrete blocks in the display lot.
