P.S. Has anyone picked up the August issue of Computer Games Magazine ?

I wonder if I could find one from Joensuu. It's one of the bigger cities here in Eastern Finland.

I don't know about that, Endoperez. But here is what Troy S. Goodfellow, author of the preview, has to say of the manual (which is not yet complete and was not provided to him as part of the preview code):

Quote:

Illwinter has passed the manual off to Bruce Geryk, the author of one of the most comprehensive walkthroughs for the last Dominions game [and a contributor to this magazine. -ed]. Given how much Dominions III has to offer...he has quite a job to do.

I should also make note of the correction to my earlier post. This preview appears in the September issue, not August.

Agrajag, as far as I am aware from my conversation with Kristoffer, there are no themes in the same sense as there were in Dom2 where you get a completely altered nation by choosing a theme (e.g. Ulm and BF Ulm), so Soul Gate would have to be a different nation than AE Ermor (perhaps different era). Or IW may have made an exception in that case.

Kristoffer, just to weak your nose that you haven't updated the progress sheet like you promised. I hope that means good things, like a version 3.0

After it reaches the final version some heavy testing should be done to capture as many bugs as possible and then fixing the bugs before sending out the game. I estimate another month... which will hopefully be enough time so RAM drops in price for my new powerful computer.

NTJedi, is that not what they are doing right now?

Once they reach 3.0 they have concluded that enough bugs are fixed for a release.

Prices drop all the time, so even when the game is out you could just wait a few more days for a bit of a discount

Once they reach 3.0 I hope they have concluded that all the bugs have been fixed :X
