Dominions 3 Now Shipping!

cookroach · #1 October 6th, 2006, 04:59 PM

Yesterday I installed the demo, because I thought I'd still have a few weeks' wait ahead of me - mailed on Tuesday to Germany via Global Priority Mail.

Well, the game arrived today. I paid only 5$ for delivery, but the stamps on the envelope amounted to about twice that amount. Great service! Thank you very much!

My first impressions are from the demo and the handbook:

My 12-year-old watched me play the tutorial and now is really excited about the game, although it is not in German! I am glad that hotseat is an option.

As for the handbook, I can't remember one this good. Ever. And I play strategy games since the days of the C64. Previously I had only dabbled a bit with the Dom2 demo, given up mainly in awe of the huge map and the vast amount of micromanagement necessary. Therefore I know very little about how Dominions actually works. But now, reading the manual, it is as if all the pieces are falling into place and everything becomes crystal clear. I'm probably too optimistic here, but you get my meaning ;-)

For those in the UK, just to let you know that my copy arrived in the mail today, with no problems from Customs or requests for VAT.

I originally ordered on 26th Sep.

Woohoo! I just got mine today

I like manual alot (it is really big!)

The amount of information I am going to have to wade through is incredible(I mean, 100+ of those 299 pages are charts). I don't see how anyone has time for anything else!

Hey guys. Really looking foward to the game.

I had a question about shipping.

My order shipped on October 5th (Thursday) via USPS Priority.

I live in the Midwest. Any idea when the game could arrive, taking into account there is a postal holiday on Monday?

That sounds right. Usually, if you live in a less remote area, then it is the lesser time. The more postal facilities it has to clear the longer it takes.

You should have yours on Tuesday.
