What the hell is up with Dominions 3???

[Gandalf Parker]

Hmmm from what I see, it would appear that we have taught them not to consider their logical-based limits to be our logical limits (OK Im not logical. 1500 provinces? Im gonna have FUN). So Im guessing that the same thinking is present in every ceiling limit that we encountered in Dom2.

And what are some of those. Monkey Nation? Bandar? (I saw a god on their side of the battle)
And another that looks trollish with pale skin. Agarta by the screenshot name. Is that the "underground city" thing that was hinted at?

The map views show icon-style maps. Is that what the new random map generator built into the game puts out? Not like the DomMap random maps at www.Dom2Minions.com

More screenshots! More screenshots! less battle shots and more of the managment screens.
I take it that these are special gifts for PDF's magazine? I cant use them on www.Dom3Minions.com?
Can I link to the article at least? Or maybe this thread?

Are we getting a Dom3 shirt to replace the Dom2 one?

I guess that alot of this is still in flux due to beta testing. *sigh*

Heh. At least now we know that plants can grow out of the backs of scorpions on the battlefield. But yeh, the management screens are what I want to see, albeit the more detailed units on the battlefield should help tell what's what.

I wonder if that's the early, mythological era C'tis we see in the pics...

[Nerfix]

Also, have you guys noticed how those chariots seem to be in columns insted of the typical boxes?

[Gandalf Parker]

Yeah they are nicely lined up. Now if they have flanking working then Im (Pangaea) going to be in trouble from the more armored nations like Ulm.

i wouldve thought flanking would be good for pangea? what with all their flying harpys and f9 centaurs

Gandalf,
I think there's no problem linking to the screenies on your site as long as you give credits to IW and Cyber (indeed they were gifts) . As for copying them I will get confirmation but think it's ok too under same conditions (anyway we have no means of preventing it )

[Pocus]

are you sure PDF you had the right to disclose these screenies? I thought Theo had it from IW, but just for the mag.

But does this mean we get alternative battle formations? Like columns? Da da DUN! =O

[shovah]

or maybe loose formation to avoid arrows (a non airshield counter to flaming/banefire arrows )
