Default To Buy or not to Buy?

Hello to the Shrapnel Forums Community and Dominions Players!,

I have been enjoying Dominions for quite a long time but I never really thought of buying the game due to my limitations of the isolated country which I live in. The price for the game to get it is roughly 2000 bucks which is quite a lot for us but rather cheap compared to dollars.

Its been on my mind for a lot time to buy Dominions 3 because I really wanted to play online, with all the new strategies and surprises you get from playing against experienced players or just human players.

However there was a few questions I'd like to ask before doing this online purchase and hope that it gets to my country in one piece.

• Are Multiplayer games frequent and easy to access even when you are rather "inexperienced" and a new comer?

• Does anyone knows if it can get delivered to the most unpredictable places of Earth namely, Those 3 little islands at the east of Madagascar?

• Is it REALLY worth it, I MEAN honestly?

• Will you guys... well you know... "shoo" me because I confessed that I used to play Dominions before buying the game?

So far I have about Half of the sum required and I should be able to get it in the coming days.

Edit: Ok so, I have ordered the game and the order is currently in processing phase. So I hope everything will go well as it is the first time I will do an online transaction for a purchase. The only ones I did before was paying the monthly fees for a MMORPG.

Edit 2: Your order has been shipped , all I need to do now is wait for it to get delivered at home!

Yes MP games are frequent and easy to access either via email or network.

Don't know anything about delivery options, sorry.

If you've played the game and you know you like it then yes its worth it. I personally have played the game for more than 2 years (dom2 experience included) and still find myself coming back to it. Thats how much depth the game has - particularly when you take it to the complexity of MultiPlayer.

I won't "shoo" you. Pirating is a fact of life in the modern era. The fact that you are considering spending your hard earned money now that you are sure you like the game puts you in a different category, imo.

Woah guys this went better than! Especially when I screwed up my first post double posting ^_^".

And yea I have played Dominions (after 1 waited eagerly for the 2) for quite a good while for now and keep uninstalling and re-installing and keep on playing until very late. I stopped playing it mainly because no one here would even take the time to learn it -_-".

Here its all WARCRAFT 3 and the NEXTGENHAX3DGAME. They are all like WTF its TURN BASED? Ewww... Okay then I will try to order the game in the coming weeks! (Got some exams coming too sadly)

Haha I just got myself a Nintendo DS and a Wii with my Mom's Money recently so I'd better economise the money for Dominions on my own for a change xD. Ah well a "Can I have some money to buy some food?" with my father there and another one to hang out here and its gonna be done

you're getting all gamed up. That's a lot of systems! I'm probably in the minority, but I usually play only one game on one system at a time.

BTW - buying dom 3 is highly worth it, MP games start a lot, people are very friendly, etc.
