Sweeet.
That Ermor screenshot is excellent.
"Late Ages Ermorian undead glow from anti-banishment protection magic " yay!
Umm - you _do_ realize that undead Ermor has _always_ had a spell to do that?

So what do you guys think of this comment?

The preview is pretty short and is much more of a presentation of the Dominion serie...

From what I heard, and from what I can figure out from the screenies, Dominion 3 should rather be called Dominion 2.5... Does not seem to add much to the game (even though I shall buy it ).

Can you confirm or infirm?
Granted, it's posted over at Wargamer which is owned by the same interests who own a competing publisher.

To some, only a serious upgrade to the graphics engine would make Dom3 anything other than Dom2.5. I'd bet my copy of Dom3 that many of the same people would have whined about "Civ3.5" if Civ4 had used the same graphics engine as Civ3, regardless of the gameplay changes.

Check out my comment from 28/03/06 here

I hope I find the time and energy to write something up about the lates 3.00gold version, but I'm pretty burned out atm concerning Dom3 and concerning writing .. .

In short - I've gotten used to the game, some of it's nifty new features and basic improvements which I don't want to miss - I really don't want to go back to Dom2 any more.
