Excuse me if this has been posted, but I just received the new (February) issue of Computer Games magazine and it has a rave review of Dominions II. I had never heard of the game -- this is my first time here (I've been to Shrapnel forum for other games, tho) and this review prompted me to check out the game.
The magazine gives Dom II 4.5/5 stars and an "Editor's Choice" award. Tom Chick wrote the review. Here are two excerpts that I transcribed (its not Online):

This is a smart, complex game that's bold enough to be demanding, unique and occasionally clunky, all in the service of being as epic as fantasy should be.

It serves as a reminder that truly great games don't require big publishers and big budgets. They simply require imaginative developers with focused ideas and the confidence and intelligence to translate them into games like this.

So congrats. As a long-time fan of turn-based strategy, I look forward to trying it out. I will download the demo tonight!
