Thanks for the link. This is the most-balanced and thorough review I have seen to date. The reviewer is very competent at his task, and very fair. What I like most is he simply stated what he did and did not like about the game (there wasn't much he didn't like, and I agree with his dislikes), and did not give arbitrary scores in an attempt to compare the game to others. The review is about the game solely on its own merits, and not a comparison as so many other so-called reviewers (mainly clueless console gamers) have been posting on other Online sites.

Kudos to the reviewer, and once again to IW.

Of course it did. Did you expect anything else? Over on my site, Dominions II is considered to be sacred, and people who badmouth it are punished for blasphemy.

OK so when are we going to be able to buy stock?

Illwinter is not set up in a way that allows it to release stocks, and their is little or no benefit in switching corporate form.

There is:

Lightsabers and the Force, in KOTOR.

Sniping, in Call of Duty & Deus Ex.

Oh, and of course ...

Mass mayhem, in Dominions!

'suppose you could mod in a JagdTiger (prot-35+ at least on superstructure, and the ludicrous 128mm/L55 would probably do well against, say, Black Templars

) but you'd still get nailed by the armor-negating attacks.

The guys over at Wargammer are some serious grognards. I thought the review was spot on. Congrats to Illwinter!
