The inteface of Dom2 is great

Well, actually, it's not that great. But it's after playing a game such as BattleCruiser3100 that you realize that the learning curve of Dom2 is far from being that bad. After 1 hour, I could play decently and hold my own against the ai. After 5 hours(interrupted by several crashes) of BC, I still havent figured out how to execute some simple basic tasks.

I know what you mean. Before purchasing Dominions 2 I made the mistake to buy Master of Orion 3. On the other hand, had Moo3 not been what it is I wouldn't have returned it, gotten my money back and been able to afford Dom2.

Not to shabby by three part time game developers to be able to create a game that thrumphs such a heavily hyped and funded game as the sequel of Master of Orion 2.

Perhaps Dominions 3, if such a project ever take place that is, will finally knock Master of Magic of the Fantasy Wargame Throne?

WTF ?

Dom2 already knocked MoM out of the throne !

I don't know yet PDF (somehow I knew you would be the first to make the inevitable comment).

Dominions 2 haven't been around long enough to be a contender for that the title. Perhaps one could call it a Pretender?

People are still feeling very strongly about MoM. And a sequel would surely draw quite a crowd.

But it's just my personal opinion of course. It's rather like discussing whom the best fantasy writer is.

I thought Dominions 1 was the game that knocked MoM from its throne...

But then, I played Dom before MoM and that does affect my view. Quite a few of my friends who are not that interested in a game as complex as Dominions find MoM a great game, though. Pity, because it doesn't have real multiplayer...

Don't call me "fanboy" please !

Seriously, I'm an old MoM fan (still played it Last year ...) but now I'm sure Dom2 is superior in every aspect - except maybe learning curve !

Endoperez,
Dom1 was a very good game (after all 90% of Dom2 were already in) but IMHO was very handicapped by a poor interface, antiquated graphics and lack of info/management screens and features.
