Don't worry, just three of them for now... those of you who know me from the SE4 forums will know the long lists I will often post!

What's the difference between Armor Piercing damage and Armor Negating, anyway?

There really ought to be a count of units belonging to each empire in each province... the blue and red rectangles are useful, but you still can't see how many units you have in an enemy province! Using the empire status report is kind of an awkward workaround... you should be able to see all visible units *on the map*!

The game graphics and fonts will sometimes be corrupted by alt-tabbing...

Armor piercing halves Protection for the damage check. Armor negating denies the target any Protection from their armor at all.

The graphics corruption is a pain, but you can fix it quickly by hitting Alt-Enter. Hitting it again will take you back out of Windowed mode.

I find that I have no problem if I can remember not to left-click on the game in the systray to get back in. I right-click and select RESTORE from the menu that pops up. Not sure why it works better but it definetly does. (WinXP)

I find rather than alt-tabbing out its best just to window it with alt-enter and minimize it to avoid the bothersome (yet at times strangely amusing) graphical corruption. Also the windowed mode allows you to continue playing dominions even while doing other things. Yet another feature of dominions adding to my certain doom as it plots to consume my life.

Heh, didn't even know the game had a windowed mode! Thanks, guys!
