Default 2 questions before i buy.........

in DOM 1, there was a button to press, to represent army size, that would show a green bar on the leader. is this in DOM 2? i couldnt find it in the demo.

and also, was there any type of upgrade to the game that would show what provinces you searched for magic sites in?

thanks all

There are swords in the commander icon box at the left hand of the screen, the more swords the more units.

If you currently have a province selected the bottomright corner of the upperleft box will display the paths searched in a province. Or you can press F1, one of the columns is levels searched, and the levels of the mages present in the province.

Yeah, the province search indicators in Doms II are very useful.

I didn't know there was a button which would show army sizes by leaders in Doms I - what's the button?

's'. It was added in one of the patches, I don't recall which, and results in bars after the names in the leader lists.

lol this is funny. When someone asking a question like this 'before I buy..is this game worth to buy' etc. the devs will answer ASAP.
They are totally ignoring some thtrads like the one about the AI.
This is not good, no sir.

Johan is not a dev. He's just my brother.

We do not ignore the AI thread, but little that needs commenting has been said lately.

BTW has it struck you that every hour spent on these Boards is one less hour spent on the patches. For the Last couple of days I havn't spent any time to actually work on Dominions II. Wonder why

Have you considered that perhaps they're ignoring _you_? Your abrasive points have been heard, and from what I've seen aknowledged, what more do you want, a medal?

Well I don't want anything, but the AI scripter should make some comments about the suggestions. That is what I am missed.
My mommy told me if you cant say anything good then dont say anything at all.

Sorry, couldnt resist. Im thinking the Devs have no reason to say much about any of this until people try the full game and start commenting. Even then they have in the past tended to listen more than argue. Mostly they let us beat each other up on both sides of issues while they take notes. In any case Ive NEVER known them to ignore any of our discussions.

Oh and by the way, Ive also never known them to be swayed by numbers so the lists and debates probably mean alot more than the "look how many people" stuff. In the past, one person with one good suggestion got just as much notice as many people with complaints. Not that they got ignored, it just that numbers wasnt enough by itself to change any minds.
