It does, yeah. So, Kristoffer, Johan, how many copies of Dom-PPP did you sell? Because it's hands down the best strategy game I've played to date, and difficult to imagine that any serious TBS gamer wouldn't like it.

Fewer than one thousand, but I believe that there are many players that played with the demo only. It was a rather generous demo.

Companies shouldnt post sales numbers. It sparks really irritating threads.

Ummm I really liked that about the game. It helped me recommend it. Does this comment mean that the next demo wont be as generous?

I think IW should market DOM-II.
I have seen no evidence that they are trying to.
I'm sure that a few banner's in some aow/civ/homm fan sites can really help.
I've tried to help IW by recommending the game to all my friends. I even started a discussion about it in AOW fan site (which really caught some players). I am sure a lot of DOM players have done the same. This apparently wasn't enough.

I hope DOM-II will do much better. But I don't think it would be possible without wider exposure.

here's to the success of DOM-II and IW

We're actually quite bad at marketing, but now Shrapnel takes care of this.

Hopefully you lads @ Illwinter will make big money from Doms II.
You deserve it seriously. Graphics is not Illwinter's strong side, but the rest is really awesome. The totally different spells are all useful even that we have hundreds of them! etc.

I am trying to get some of my friends to order Doms II, hopefully they will!

Hmmmm, funny, it is very simple:
You keep noise about your game until someone gets intrested.

Ok, it's not that simple, but still...

You realy should update those pixelated batle pics, BTW...

And will the Dom II demo have more restrictions?
Don't say it has The Unholy 30-Day Limit!

I actually wouldn't mind a 30 day limit in the Dom II demo, because within that 30 days I should receive my pre-ordered copy of the full game

The "beta-demo" we tried earlier in the development had a turn limit rather than a Shareware-style time limit. Dunno if that'll change for the gold code demo, but it was enough to really get a feel for the game and sample quite a lot of the content, but not enough to replace the full Version.
