What other games complement your Dominions 3?

[Ruminant]

Well, not the quality of the graphics I just meant the atmosphere and world. For some reason I prefered the somewhat varied environments of Morrowind to what seemed to me to be an endless sea of same-same green grass and trees in Oblivion. True, there did seem to be more dungeon crawling than in Morrowind and that may have contributed.

I've done a bit of looking through total conversion mods for oblivion and fallout, haven't found anything particularly enticing yet though. I did my oblivion playthough with a fair few of the non-conversion mods enabled so theres not much new in that area.

Eh, I'm not a fan of diablo 2 gameplay. Possibly I am the one person in the world (at least among people I know ;p) who, while originally liking it, become convinced it was just freakin tedious after a while.

I just tried `cortex command' and it's a blast. it would be a definite winner but it:

1) moves a little to slow. It think this is the physics engine. It isn't slowing down the game due to excessive calculations, just the physics actually move slow. They need to do something to speed them up without losing the way they work (I think they had trouble getting nice physics with quicker moving objects).

2) It's in beta with no guarantee of completion (been under development for seven years now). However they got so much done and it is really nice looking with a lot of promise, it would be terrible to see them not get a polished product.

Baalz and I are both playing Demigod, I know he's playing because I played against him last night. I was like "Hey! are you the Baalz from Dom3"?

Turned out he was. He's one tough Cookie in that game too. Both of us are in the top 1% Rankings in that game.. And in fact I see a Micah that is ranked #6 I dunno if its our Micah though. I'm only ranked 97 but I'll catch up with those two soon enough since I very rarely loose anymore unless Ive got a really sucky teammate or I'm trying something new

That game is screwed up though.. Buggy as hell. it shouldnt have been released yet and has many patches to go. Too bad its so damned addictive. Addictive and Frustratingly buggy dont go well together. Ive got problems with my Favor points dissappearing and some games that I play that are not showing up on the website rankings wich is annoying since those games have all been wins. Probably good news for the people I played against though.

That game also runs like crap enough though I have a dual core cpu and a Geforce 9800 Gx2 that can run crysis and Oblivion and anything else I throw at it on very high settings with no problem at all.

If its running like crap on MP it probably has more to do with the massive pirating of it that went on. Stardock's copy protection policy hit a snag when it came to large scale MP.

[JimMorrison]

Nah they just have been plagued by awful server problems since day 1. Beta went 2 iterations past when they wanted to start testing MP, before they had synch issues and whatnot resolved enough that you could even hope to stay in an MP match all the way through.

My roommate bought it so I played around with it a bit, runs like crap on my machine though, so I haven't touched it in awhile. Maybe I should check it out again. Maybe.

[PsiSoldier]

Yeah Like I said, it still runs like crap.. they must have skipped that whole optimization part of the development process.. along with the part about fixing bugs..

Its just really annoying to know that I have a bad *** video card which is basicly SLI on one single card and it still runs like dog poo

[PsiSoldier]

Yeah... Really really really annoying when it is only counting about half of my wins but every single one of my losses... Sorry just wanted to vent. Its just done that to me a LOT tonight. more than half of my wins actually. And of course it counted my one loss. Really @#$%'s up your win loss ratio on the website stats.

I tried the demo for Solium Infernum. The game has a really cool atmosphere; kind of a mix between the Lesser Key of Solomon, Paradise Lost, and a few Lovecraftian elements. The gameplay itself requires a lot of strategy, but it doesn't feel that deep. The character creator is kind of neat but not all the choices are very balanced. I'd say it's pretty average overall. Definitely a good way to kill a weekend but not a replacement for Dom3.

I liked temple of elemental evil a lot but I had some problems with it so couldn't finish

I like dawn of war 2 a lot too, tha campaign is awesome and the MP is great too, you just need to get a list of decent players to play with or not care about your ranking

[Gregstrom]

I enjoyed Temple of Elemental Evil. It's a real shame that Atari weren't properly behind it, though.
