Re: Historical Question
The better question is what is the biggest advancement from Dom3 over Dom1?
Random maps.
The reason I say this is because, as an SP player, I simply skipped Dom2. I was interested in gameplay, not fancy graphics, and I didn't see any significant improvement in Dom2 over Dom1.
Dom3's introduction of customizable, randomly generated maps was a huge improvement for me. I like small (50 province) games, but how many times can you play the same small map without getting bored?
(I can't stand big maps because it's just too aggravating to run an empire that large. I can see how it would be fun in MP where you play one turn per day, but it doesn't work at all in SP.)
