I would like to see the highest level of detail possible. It is Dominions, and this game is known for its focus on details like no other TBS game. So, i am not for simple solutions. Those can be found in other TBS games.

Highest level of detail possible? What you want to have to individually address every single soldier and give them their papers of dismissal, written up by yourself, manage the return of the arms and armour granted to them when they joined the army, reimburse them with land and titles if they are of veteran status etc etc.

Personally I'd rather play a game than go through the paperwork of running a national army ;]

And no, Dom3 isn't really that much more detailed than other 'hardcore' strategy games. It has rather simplistic combat, economic, religious, political and diplomatic systems compared with many of them. These are just examples, I could go on. It's a game of variety and overwhelming content, not insane levels of pointless and obscure detail. This isn't shenmue.

Later dom versions could add even more detail, cause its rather a game for veterans and expierenced TBS gamers. If i want a more straightforward and simple TBS, i'll play something else.

And if you want more complicated, you'll play ASL (Advanced Squad Leader), right?

Who is very glad that Dom3's rules are computer-managed. In ASL it's actually in the rules that if you forget to apply a rule it can't be corrected after the fact, so knowing the rules well is a tactical advantage for the skilled commander. Wow.
