I see no reason for it to slow. Seems like it has the same reasons for traffic that this forum has. Years worth of tactic experimentation, and modding capability. Each patch adds new territory to the modding.
Of course it might split before equaling this forum, since they have announced Dominions 3 for next year.

Re: OMG
I do hope that they take the time to make Dominions III a bit more indepth such as SE IV. I mean there are many things in SEIV that are done well that if adopted in principal would make Dominions III a far more playable and fun game without the huge micro-managment issues it currently has.
When all you do is manage territories without the frame work of a unified control system, such as the master que in Space Empires, the game becomes very tedious and burns the player out rapidly as in what happened to me.
A great concept for a game no doubt, just lacked the control tools that I felt would have made it a far more addictive and fun game than it had become.

Re: OMG
Yes some management improvements would help. Id also like to see it incorporate the AI text files that SEIV has.
And although I understand the direction of tga files (especially for a program developed on linux) I still have trouble getting newbies interested in things like map-making and modding. I wouldnt mind them going to a more native format for the majority of the players, and using txt as an extension on their ascii files. Forcing a dos text file format would help also instead of the unix one. But I guess that might be the pro and con of the big plus that it runs on more than Windows.

Re: OMG
deccan maybe we will get them to change the title to SPACE EMPIRES... And we can grow and grow...
AT>... I was having fun on Sat. Night. Long long work week... around 90 hours.. So the wife and I unwinded with 2 bottles of wine... Hit me like a hammer ...  Still it was harmless... Had fun on the irc channel as well... Quoting Minus the Bear song titles. In a span of about 2 hours I was completly relaxed , acting silly and that followed with a great sleep and awoke sunday completey refreshed and knew I added about 3 to 4 points to the That Tesco is damn strange point system... Cheers...

I recently saw some Shreck 2 Twinkies with Hostess logo, so I imagine they are surviving any bankruptcy.

That's good to know. Twinkies may be junk food but they do taste good!  |

Re: OMG
That's true of most junk food. That's why people eat it.
