What is Dominions II?

Well the game is good.

As to things like graphics and interface its not too different than any game which runs on so many platforms.

I do not know - I only play on one platform & it is far worse than any other interface from recent times. This is the problem really - I am far less a computer geek than most people here (I reserve my geekiness exclusively for games) & I am used to good windows interfaces. I would rather the game was produced slickly for one platform only (& penetrated the mass market) but this seems unlikely...

And the devs are here so if you have specific suggestions feel free to mention them. If they arent quick fixes then it might wait for Dom3 or something like that. But thats OK. The patches tend to be pretty full. Im not sure that anything is in need of Johan spending full time so that only 1 major change is made in one patch. Id rather see all the little tweaks and surprises.

I think most of my issues are unpatchable eg why is the thing so resource intensive? Also everyone knows how poor the in game message system is both as a relay of ingame info & as a inter player messager.

It would be nice if dom3, if there is one, was rebuilt from the bottom up somewhat to address this sort of issue.

This is not really a criticism of the developers BTW. They are only 2 and do most of the truly important stuff well meanwhile the whole thing has an amateurish feel to it.
