Default wikipedia entry is alive !

incredible, but after near-slumbering for years, the tWikipedia entry for dominions 2 is full of new life


A short description for each nation was added by Wikipedia User Nyda and others. Applause please !

Further enhanced. With the power of my mind. A few errors corrected.

Edit: Whoa. The original article makes mention of plenty of stuff that isn't clarified elsewhere, though. I'm not quite up to explaining the entire nation/Pretender design process at the moment, so if anyone feels like clarifying "scales", "dominion", et cetera, the entry could use it.

Expect to have your article axed soon. It's quite subjective with sentences like:
The music is nice but can get old very quickly
The sound effects are useful,
Another notable feature of Dominions II is the rich atmosphere of the written descriptions for each unit, spell, artifact and nation. Unlike other games of this genre, Dominions is based on an impressive variety of traditional or historical myths - and not just Orcs & Elves.


Another questionable bit of information:
This nation is based of the Atlanteans of Greek mythology.
I can't recall ANY information about Atlantis in Greek myths. I think Platon (or someone else) mentioned it, but that's it.
(...)

Lots of biased opinions. Wikipedia ends with -pedia.

well, i started writing dom2-articles for other web sites and just recycled this bit. nobody cared so far but it is high time to replace those lines. Other stuff was not from me, but i think over time the wikipedia article will become more and more useful if more people show an interest in it.

I've always loved Lizardmen, Death magic, and Nature magic, that is why I cannot ever play another nation besides C'tis, the perfect combination... unless I have to... if it's taken.
