Are we paying more for less?

I don't know, as a Strat fan I have to agree it is a bit high for even my blood.

So don't buy it. It's really that simple. Dominions is certainly a niche game -- heck, these days it's almost a niche inside a niche -- and unless the "nicheness" has extra value for you then Dominions III isn't worth $55 to you. To me that niche has a lot of value, which is why, for me, Dominions III is worth $55 and Medieval 2: Total War is not worth £30.

Is Dominions III an expensive game? Yes, it is. Is it worth $55? It is to some of us. It won't be for many others. Is it too expensive? Judging from the pre-orders, it would appear not.
