New patch...new buyer

Other strategy games do no more taste the same after you play this one. Especially those RTS games. Means Real Time Something for me now.

I don't like most RTS games because the computer opponents can give different orders to a thousand units within one second where the human player can only give individual orders on two within one second if he's extremely fast. It becomes frustrating after awhile, the only RTS I still play is the original Stronghold and Stronghold:Crusade because here you can adjust the speed of the game allowing you to make hundreds of different orders during critical moments.

In regards to Dominions_3... I've been playing since Dominions_2 and I'm still discovering new strategic combinations.

So, thought I'd give an update on my dom3 experience.

I've now had the game for ~1 week, and I will say that it is the deepest, most engrossing, most thorough game I've ever played. Certainly worth the $60.

If I had to summarize my praise into a single comment:
Nothing in this game is certain.

In other words, there's no such thing as a "correct strategy"...every move you make is potentially game-winning AND potentially catastrophic. It's a true strategy game, not a puzzle, as is almost always produced in this genre.

To clarify, I don't mean "random event" uncertainty; I mean "I'll setup 2 identical games, play the same strategy in both and somehow have radically different strategic situations by turn 10" uncertainty.

I cannot imagine this game ever becoming repetitive or boring.

The minor inconstancies I've noticed have been just that: minor. Again, this is in stark contrast to most games, where the norm is to hide glaring thematic/logical problems behind snazzy explosions.

Good work.
