A new preview was posted August 1 at Inside Mac Games. Remi Stebenne writes:

Fans of Dominions 2 will rejoice at the coming of this long-awaited sequel, which contains many new features while still keeping the same atmosphere. People who are looking for something that will work the brain instead of the fingers should definitely take a look at this massive yet fun game. I can't wait for the final version to be released; I can't stop playing the preview version I have and it will be the same for the final version. I keep saying one more turn and then I notice a few hours have passed!
The full review is HERE!

In Finland, pick up a copy of issue numero 17-18 of PC pelaaja for Jukka O. Kauppinen's preview.

Eh, I see nice big army on the first screenshot. Too bad that we cannot enlarge it. It's also too bad that I don't understand finnish. Nerfix or Endo, perhaps you should translate the text to us. [If there are some new infos at least in it]

Hmmm, it's actually a somewhat negative review. If I get sufficiently bored I'll translate the whole things.

This is the most disturbing part of the review though:

"Kokeillussa ennakkoversiossa ei kuitenkaan ollut vielä kaikkia luvattuja ominaisuuksia, kuten pelin sisäisiä apuja, joten pelin lopullista avautumisnopeutta ei voi vielä päätellä."

"The preview version we tried did not have all the promised features such as in-game help functions so it is impossible to say what the learning curve will in the end be"

what? the in-game help is there - maybe they just don't know how to use it.
Mind you, it's not like it's some big walkthrough, which might have been what they were expecting. It is in fact somewhat unobtrusive

We were unable to supply the manual with the preview code, as it was not yet complete. So we should bear that in mind.

For our French-speaking players, Cyberstratege published their preview in Issue 3.

Why don't you send a preview copy over to http://www.gamer.co.il ?
