Default If you have questions...

Remember to look at the stickies at the top of each forum. Those will often lead to FAQs and other helpful collections.

You can Search for forum, and there are special tags which can help you find the correct threads. Such as tags for Guides and Tips.

There is a Wiki for Dominions 3, and an IRC channel, and a CHAT here (its in the menu which appears at the top of this forum).

Hmmm apparently the chat here only works for registered users.

Ive been told that I "jargoned" (something I try to avoid).

STICKIES are threads that are pinned so that they appear at the top of the forum instead of rolling down from lack of use. We use them to link to important items which would otherwise keep showing up in new posts.

Most of the chat-room (IRC or CHAT) use tends to be hit-n-run question/answer or using it to talk continually during a blitz game. It can be fun to play a blitz (continual turns all day, usually during the weekend) and tie it in to a chat window or a live-voice network.

It used to be hidden in "Quick Links" but I asked to have it pulled out to the main menu.

Default Re: If you have questions...

For chat, you should see the IRC sticky at the top of this forum. So far as I know, no-one actually uses the forum chat, but the IRC room tends to have a few people in it. Once you log on, you'll get stuck there for hours! It always happens to me when I'm meant to be working.

Default Re: If you have questions...

Hmmm Ive heard it goes for long times with no conversation and lots of bots. Our chat is getting to the same point I guess.

The IRC room of #dominions on GameSurge.net is good for asking questions of the expert players. Quantum_Mechani, Sombre, lch, and others can often be found there. Possibly quietly botting but you can sometimes awaken them by the mention of their name.

And the IRC does seem to have more blitz games (immeadiate fast-play Dom3 games that are finished on the same day). I would like to see more use of our chat to do that also (you can create a seperate room just for the blitz game people to harrass each other without having to wait for one turn to get a message sent in-game). Our chat of course tends to work better for asking questions about any Shrapnel game, not just Dom3. You can also use it to challenge people to one of the games on the other button on the menu here. The one maked "Arcade".

At the left of this screen in the section for Forum NOtices you might also see that Shrapnel is planning some chats involving Staff or Devs so in order not to miss out on one it might benefit people to find that chat button and test it out. No software needs to be downloaded to use it.
