Hi there, false gods,
After days reading though this forum and playing many SP games, i figured it would be a good thing to finally register here and get my arse kicked in MP.
I'm a 29yo french exiled in Ireland, and discovered the game only during its second incarnation. I was interested by the game style and premises, but definitely pursued my interest as it ran natively under Linux. For a Linux using wargamer, that was a godsend for which i can't thank enough the Illwinter lads. Thank you guys, i really mean it.
After giving a try at the dom2 demo, i did like the game, though i was far from appreciating all of its potential. However, support for multi-platform developers, combined with the frustration of not being able to cast level 9 global enchantments, as well as being deprived of serving the star lords of R'lyeh convinced me that no matter what, purchasing the full game wouldn't be wasted money. It definitely wasn't, and i enjoyed many hours of solo play as well as 2 player games with my dear wife (yes, she likes bordgames, wargames and RPGs, and no, i'm not selling her).
After some time doing other things, like the almost-not-time-consuming miniatures painting, I realised that Dom3 was out since a while, and so it's only since last month that i finally ordered and started playing the third incarnation of this brilliant game.
Of course, like most people, i do have some personal 'issues' with a couple of game features, but nothing major, and nothing that hasn't been previously discussed in a way or the other on these boards.
What else to say? Well, as far as nations go, i really like R'lyeh, both for the underwater theme, as well as the Lovecraftian mythos. Later in the game, i grew very, very fond of the slow and heavy Abysians, both for their background and their playing style.
There it is then, i'm not sure i'll be very regular around here, but at least now, i have an account in case i really happen to have something to post.
Cheers then, and please try to be gentle when sieging my capital by turn 5 in my destined-to-be-short first serious MP games.
Cafard.
