Yup, a copy of Dominions 2. It came today.

Installing now.

What should be the first thing I do after installing it?

Download the references and play a nation that you wern't able to in the Demo. R'lyeh is a favorite. (Who doesn't like squids?!)

Oh yeah. Patch to 2.12 first. You also might want to grab a few utilities. Find them at Arryn's site as well as at Illwinter.

I played my first game as ashen empire, just to have an easy game and get familiar with the game

AHHA he is ours now!

install, patch, play the non-demo nations, then download new maps and play them to death, then download mods and play them to death, then dice into multiplayer games until you are too well known for anyone to want to play you.

Then finally when you are done with all of that.. come over to the Site of Random for Bored Players www.dom2minions.com

About utilities, do you have the links by chance? And can you tell me which ones would be most useful to me?

If you happen to be especially save conscience: Torvak's Dominions 2 savegame utility

For prettiness: Ben Sones Skin's (found at Illwinter)

For newer maps: Kingdom of Karan by Targa and a few others are very decent.

My Dominions II site. Look around, and if you don't understand something, feel free to ask.

Make sure that you drink, eat and sleep once in a while. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

Also, there is no known cure for this addiction so I guess you are stuck with us now.

Did you know that the old BG game had a tip (you know the kind, "tip of the day") saying: "Remember what while your characters do not need to eat, you do! We don't want to lose any dedicated fans!"
