What is difference from Dominions II???

[Cor]

Currently I play only single player as well. I played dom2 for 2 years and loved it. I had the same concerns as you. The demo doe not give a good view of the changes made in the game. It was well worth the money. This is from a guy who usually never spends more than $10 on a game.

Maybe i overlooked it in the prior postings: The new battle graphic engine shows actually the damage of each hit with red numbers. Much like in World of Warcraft or Guild Wars.
I also play mostly single player but won't go back to Dom2.
