I Was Ripped OFF!

[Arryn]

I think we have far less chance of getting the demo's 40-turn limit altered than we do getting the annoying 50-turn auto-rout limit in the regular game "fixed" ...

[Atrocities]

Well I am definately going to buy the game guys. I played it Last night and conqured a few regions around me and found that although there are a lot of things I would like to see added, the over all fun factor was very high.

A few questions though. I know that they have all been answered before, but I am, again, far to lazy to look.

Q 1. How do you build fortresses and temples in other regions?

Q 2. If your Pretender God is killed, how do you get another one?

Q 3. How do you improve production in other regions that have very low production?

I often find my self right clicking on the region trying to gain access to the build que or something. An old habit to be sure.

I have more question, mostly relating to how to research things, and how to get RP's and such.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

with the dominion 2 demo it doesn't matter any more most fans already own it

but for dominions 3 it would be a shame if 10-20% less copies would be sold only because of an unfortunate demo restriction by a too short / too frustrating turn limit .

Any commander may build a fort. Any priest(holy or unholy) may build a temple. Any researcher(mage/philosopher) can build a lab. Simply send the commander to said province, and instruct him to "Build X".

Q 2. If your Pretender God is killed, how do you get another one?

Priests may "Call God" when your pretender is dead. After 40 priest-rank-turns, your God respawns in the capitol, minus 1 to all of his magical paths, if any. He may also heal some afflictions.

Q 3. How do you improve production in other regions that have very low production?

Construct a castle. This doubles the resources available in the province, allows you to produce your national troops, and harvests a percentage of resources equal to the (twice)admin-percent of the castle from all neighboring provinces you own that do not have their own castle. I say twice the admin percent, because resources in a province with no castle are halved, but the admin collection works on the unpenalized amount, so you will harvest twice the admin percentage of the listed resources.

Snap out of it.

I have more question, mostly relating to how to research things, and how to get RP's and such.

Mages produce research when parked in front of a lab and given the order to Research. The amount of research they produce depends on their magical strength, a special bonus or penalty(sages/philosophers/witchdoctors), and your magic scale. Each magic scale adds +1 RP per researcher. Experienced researchers also gain a small research bonus.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

In Soviet Russia, you don't play the game. The game plays you!

He sacrificed TV just for that? Not that I like TV or anything, but it does seem a more worthwhile use of time.

Why do you assume that the turn limit has cost dom 2 sold copies? There is little or no evidence that the game has sold less copies due to the 40 turn demo limit. There was however some evidence that a few players was so well saisfied with playing with the demo of dom 1 that they thought it enough for their dominion needs and therefore never bothered to get the full game.
