What you don't like in Dominions 2.? - Need subjective opinions!

[MStavros]

I will start the line: I don't like the supercombattants.
IMHO they are ruining a big part of the game. 1 unit killing whole armies...bleh. In MP you are forced to use it, in SP you can crush the AI with it easily...

[LordArioch]

In SP, yes, supercombatants are abusable against the AI if you feel like cheapening your enjoyment. I prefer rainbow mages for magical fun.

And I don't know how much you're forced to use supercombatants in mp...they all get countered pretty easily unless you go into a LOT of trouble getting them set up perfectly. The early expansion they offer on high indy settings is nice, but on lower indy settings I don't know they're even worth the cost for the most part.

I don't like:

- The weak AI.
- The pop. killing nations and themes.
- Lot of unbalanced spells.


Hopefully I can disable the disliked spells with the upcoming mod tools, and IW will upgrade the AI.

[LordArioch]

Could you better explain? What unbalanced spells are you talking about.. The pop killing themes is easy to deal with (I like the potential for variety they introduce), and the "weak" AI is still the best I've ever seen unless you SC pretender rush it. Usually impossible AI cheat like crazy and I can still beat them while not even trying.

Far and away the biggest issues:

1- Can't control the speed of battle replay
2- Fort battles don't generate a battle summary

Balance issues aside, the issues above detract directly from the heart of the games playability.

[trebuchet]

I would say that if there does prove to be a bug between the battle replay and combat summary, that would also be a serious issue.
