Dominions 3 Now Shipping!

Tim, as a strategy and role playing game player for years - pnp, board, online, single player PC - you're completely correct about the dropping of ball on the Dom II manual. I ordered. I recieved. I read the manual. I started playing and had no idea what I was doing. I didn't have a month straight to dicker with the uninformative interface. I moved on. Was awful. And the manual seemed so, uh, large. But the information available online was far too esoteric and time intensive for me to bother with forums, much less try multiplayer. Dom2 dropped off my radar within a month.

Got my shipping notice today and am very very excited (you guys have done a fantasic job of gettin' them out, and THANKS!!!). I hope it's different this time, regarding the manual.

And that I'll be checkin' these forums daily as some of us have a propensity to do with other games. heheh

PS and completely OT: Is there a way to occlude 'signatures' when reading the forums? No offense to folks like DominionsFan of course, but for me, his signature is really obtrusive and wastes a lot of screen space.

On top right part of the screen, you can see Main Index, Who's Online, Search, etc. Choose My Home.

In there, near the bottom, under Main Configuration, you can see "Display preferences, number of shown threads...", and to its right, a link to edit those preferences. Uncheck the last checkbox on the bottom of that screen.

Sorry for the double post.

Huzzah for the shipping department! I can hardly wait for my copy to arrive.

Well, I'm a lurker on shrapnel forums since I discovered dominions 2, but din't register until now.

I'm afraid that I will start with a question for Shrapnel : what about gmes ordered with tuxgames.com ?

I can't find any information on their website on my order except that my payment has been validated.

Living in France, I ordered with them as advised on this forum for Europe, but even if shipment is supposed to be faster, If they didn't received a special treatment and must themselves wait for the game to arrive, I fear I won't even have the game this week or worse.

Can you confirm if they already have the game or not (at least if they have received some - if they didn't get enought and there's delay for some orders because of that, it's another problem) ?

What worry me is that dom3 is still listed in their "coming soon" section with "Availability Expected 02 Oct 2006", with no update since.

Is there someone on this forum ordered with them and has since received the game (or any information) ?

I'd write something clever here, but I'm too busy monkeying with my new copy of Dominions 3.

Curses.

Mine shipped Saturday morning and it is now Tuesday and still no package waiting for me. I will try not to panic until tomorrow afternoon.

We didn't advise anyone to order from any specific reseller.

As of this post, they have not even placed an order, although it is our understanding that they intend to do so.

As to when will a reseller have their games, we ship orders in the order they are recieved. This applies to resellers also.
