Is anyone having fun with this game?

So many threads of how nations and tactics suck. (Id be bothered by that more if there wasnt so much disagreement about these "facts"). I thought Id start another upbeat thread.

Is anyone having fun with this game? Forgetting winning and losing and balances for the moment. What nations are you enjoying? What maps? What playing style? (barbarian horde, defensive, researcher, armored armies, stealth, summoned armies)

Personally Im having fun with super large randomly generated maps. Playing early or middle Pangaea, and any other race that has stealth units. Also Caelum (making good use of large maps) and Jotunheim (on smaller maps playing defensively)

I've been playing Abysia MA lately, it's been fun. I'm learning the ins and outs of blood magic, I didn't really play much blood in Dom 2, and I really like those Demon Knights.

I am in DomHeaven.

Have been playing EA Ermor on a large random map with all EA nations. Currently in a fight for life in the western oceans against Oceania, and trying to squelch Atlantis's dominion in a small grouping of seas in the east. At a standoff with several nations in the northern lands. Trying to let them fight it out until I can finish off those annoying fish & frogs.

I�m having a blast, but I�ve only had the full game three days. Since I have always leaned toward necromancers in my RPG's I went with LA Ermor. Next I�m going to try something completely different � and something that wasn�t in the demo.

This stupid game is cause of many hours of sleep deprivation and failed exams. I wonder if I can weasel a lawsuit out of it ...

I'm playing more SP game with Dom 3 than with Dom 2 or any other PC games since Civilization (the first).
I like the difference between nations and I'm fond of testing some weird concept like transforming a sleeping Lord of War in SC.

YES ! Dom 3 is fun.

GP, you're kidding, right? This game rocks.

It is the best game in its genre. No question. After patch it will be even better. Everything I liked about Dom2 I like about this one as well.

Allow me to be the first to say that I'm not sure if I'm having fun with it. Too many things we had gotten used to in Dom2 (even if only through the CB & hero mods) were taken away (themes, filtering researchers, ability to view spell list during pretender creation, and I know I'm forgetting others at 1 in the morning), and too many irritations were added : maps shipped that didn't have the fixes that had been available for over a year, nations without heroes, the @#$#* aging system, pretenders that once again are unbalanced, and again, I'm forgetting things.

Then, we _still_ don't have even half baked battle reports for castle sieges, don't have proper battle reports that would tell which commanders died, how many of each troop type, still no way to keep people from uploading pretenders w/o passwords, no way to change passwords after creation....

I hope there'll be more fun after patches, and after equivalents of the CB and Heroes mods come out, but.... Right now, I tend to think Dom2 was a more enjoyable experience.
