Just after say that there are no serious or even semi-serious bugs in Dom3, that interfere with playing the game. The bug list looks big but its all very, very minor stuff, its only because of Edi's hard work that the majority players probably even know about them.

I have played 18 months and Dom3 as never crashed or froze either. Its very, very stable.

I will have to agree. The only other kind of games I spent so much time on was MMO's.

As for strategy games, this is by far the most I have ever played one game, and for most of it I played almost all singer player. I have just started MP again and its a great experience. Even when I take over games and LOSE I learn great stuff and really enjoy myself. Lets be honest, I have only lost online so far and I still have a great time.

Once you make the leap you are never coming back. This is also one of the only games I can keep playing MP once im in Japan (hurray for international jobs.)

New Galciv expansion coming out in March, btw. Looks to be a biggie, and the last one was very good.

Now... if they only had multiplayer. Still, a great game, and the best AI I have ever seen, and it keeps getting smarter.

But 75% of my gaming time is still spent with Dom3. It's such an awesome game.

Not to mention that Dom3 is freaking easy to mod. Sure, Civ4 is more modable(at least from what I heard) but you can easily create new nations, spells, items etc. in Dom3 in very short time. Right now I'm working on a nation of dark elves(maybe I'll post it here someday
