Hello

I'm wondering if some people on this forum play to dom3 on tablet PC (that run on windows or linux) ? And if yes , how easy is it to play ?

I tried to play it with a Win7 Tablet that i had (sold it a few weeks ago) but it was unplayable because of the lack of arrow keys...

Any tools which might provide a workaround allowing it to believe the arrow keys and ctrl keys actually exist?

I played it on a tablet with a stylus a little bit. The tablet had physical arrow keys on the side. It was possible, just not very fun, a button on the side of the stylus acted as a right click.

I guess this might be the dumbest question ever, but I'll try asking anyway. I don't have a tablet. Doesn't it have a "virtual keyboard" on screen you can use??

Not a dumb question. Windows 7 puts a small virtual keyboard that can be hidden on the screen. To use it in Dominions, you have to play the game in windowed mode. Ultimately, trying to use a stylus and the on screen keyboard makes game play too slow and not very fun. Turns take long enough as it is!

arrow keys and the control keys are critical... I have to use my convertable in laptop mode to play (

OK, not aimed at quite the same market as an iPad then...
So you're trying to play Dom while working on a construction site
