A simple thank you
Not a "Great game, but you really need to add this one feature..."
Just an acknowledgement to Illwinter for making one of the most fun, absorbing, addicting, time-consuming- wait, why am I thanking you?  |

Re: A simple thank you

ROTFL Seriously I was giggling out loud for minutes. Not sure why it struck me so funny but it did.
Yep a dangerously addictive game.

Re: A simple thank you
This game could easily blow the Civilization game series out of the water upon the arrival of Dominions_3... especially if diplomacy features for the AI are added. I wonder if the developers will find a major publisher for Dominions_3 which will save us the hassle of buying Online.

From the looks of things, by then there wont be any.
Maybe someone will iron out the hassles in offering Digital Downloads instead.

Re: A simple thank you
Yeah playing it now since 4-5 months and still discovering new things each day . Even started to play SP again because i haven't time for more than 1-2 MP games now during my new semester  .
I was as many of you may remember for about 1 month in a period of thinking dominions is unfair and unbalanced but that was only because some things are more hidden  .
Dominions 2 is the best strategy game of all |

Why don't Shrapnel offer that already ? I've been very impressed with the download system Stardock offers for their (GalCiv) and other games (look at totalgaming.net) for example ... |

Re: A simple thank you
Not really my area so Im talking mostly from info in SysAdmin newsGroups. It seems kindof at the level that "shopping cart" sites were years ago. Now if someone wants to do a shopping cart site then what resources are needed to support it, what package to download and install, what you need to pay and to whom in order to get one that wont put you in the headlines, thats all worked out. For Digital Downloads its all looking good, but its not where shopping cart is yet.

A retail publisher? Yeah that would be great...
Here's what we can expect.
A rushed product to meet retail deadlines (ie full of bugs and dumbed down).
No royalties to the developers so the suits in marketing can buy new cars and take "clients" on marketing trips.
Crappy customer service, and almost no patch support.
Seriously I know if I were a fan of this game I wouldn't want a retail publisher for it. Illwinter would be out of business in no time at all.
Instead you get great customer service, direct interaction with the programming team AND the exectuvies from Shrapnel, monthly royalty checks to keep Johan and the guys in business (and we have never missed a check), and support of the community.
This might sound sarcastic, but seriously look at how many developers that are similiar to Illwinter have been ripped off this year by retail publishers...
