Hi everyone, I recieved dominions 3 a few days ago and I haven't slept much since then.

I'd like to try a multiplayer game, how do I sign up, just reply to one of the threads in the multiplayer forum?

Yes that will do it.
There are also a couple of servers.
The www.Llamaserver.net which is PbEM (Play by EMail) games.
and the Dom3minions.com server which is tcp/ip (direct connect) games.

I am a 64 year old management consultant. I live in Seattle, am married, one son. My wife works in county government.

In a couple of years, I will retire. I can see that I could spend a vast portion of my retirement playing this game. I learn something new about it every day.

Welcome!

Greetings!

I work as a lead software engineer/systems administrator, and am also trying to finish a master's degree in physics. Started playing the demo less than a month ago - before I went on vacation from my job. Managed to keep the addiction under control until my licensed copy arrived about 2.5 weeks ago.... Now, I'm not always sure what day it is. Also, it took a little while to remember how to operate my car today, since I was finally forced to venture out on a grocery run. And, I think the total immersion might be affecting other cognitive functions as well - I somehow managed to bungle my first post in another forum thread. (Always good to shoot yourself in the foot right away....)

Anyway, I look forward to playing MP games with some of you guys in the future. (Still training myself on Arco right now against increasingly difficult AI's.)

Cheers.

Thanks, Lingchih.

I'm sure there will be a learning period.

Hello,

I, also, am new to Dominion. I've played it twice now, as the Marveni, and lost both times. The first time went about as you would expect. I was happily and effortlessly conquering the world - until I ran into the first comptuter player. It was a lot like hockey after that, with me as the puck.

It became pretty clear that if you are being out produced by another player, unless they are distracted with something else you can't beat them. You can tell me if this isn't true, but that's the way it seemed to me then.

So in the second game I decided to take a more oranized approach to maxing income. I made another Pretender with Order 3, Dominion 5 and some extra levels of Nature and Earth, and then set out to cut off a chunk of the world by taking provinces in a line and backfilling with 30 or 40 PD as I went through.

This worked pretty well. I was able to isolate a big chuck of the world and mostly destroy the first player I ran into. Unfortnately before he was done I ran into the other two. Let me tell you something, I'm getting pretty sick and tired of those Vanheims and their glamored units. They seem to have such an advantage you'd *think* the game designers were Nordic.

Anyway, lost that one too. I guess I should have probably put this post somewhere else on here, this probably isn't the forum for it, but that's where I'm at. Starting my third game now, maybe working a little harder on research. Glad to be here.
