What other games complement your Dominions 3?

You're spot on, the two main issues with FFH2 are in ability of the AI to cope with all the added complexity, and out of sync errors in MP.

That said, when i stopped playing a few months back they were really starting to work on the AI andit as imrpving. I wonder how much it has improved since? Likewise they were trying to sort out the OOS problems, but they did drive menuts and were a main driver for looking for another game - hence I found Dom3

The good, it has all the nice stuff: Mages, spells, summons, mana nodes, different factions with three alignments (Good, Neutral, Evil) and so on. The gameplay is pretty awesome for a Civ setting. The bad: In SP, the AI is not really up to the task to make use of the things offered to it, it's like a lobotomized Civ4 AI that can't make any real use of the spells. So you can actually play about 2-3 AI levels higher than you use to do under normal Civ4. Maybe that's because some game mechanics can be exploited too much by a human player, too. But worse is that MP gaming isn't really possible at the moment, because you'll get out of sync errors whenever an event occurs, which is a main storyline device in FFH. Like in Dom3, events may occur randomly, but even when you rob a graveyard, for example. In case they ever get to fix the MP issue, it'd be an interesting choice.
