On the subject of conventions we won't be exhibiting at E3. If you're
new to the hobby of computer gaming this may seem odd, as E3 is made out
to be such a big deal, but the honest truth is that E3's purpose is really to
get retailers interested in putting upcoming products on their shelves. That and
to get game companies to spend gobs of cash, and give porn stars a few extra
bucks by acting like they know what T&L really means (granted, with the industry
on hold maybe they could use the extra cash). In our minds though we'd
rather spend money on publishing the best damn independent war and strategy
titles on the market, not a 30' inflatable Frederick the Great and Kendra Jade
analyzing the battle of Hurtgen Forest. As fans of our games, we're
sure you'll agree that we've made the right choice.

Well yes, however it would be funny to pretend to the E3 management like Shrapnel really wants to attend and fund a huge booth for Dominions II, but it really needs to have naked Succubi and underage blood slaves, because Illwinter insists they are thematic and can't be omitted. They wouldn't get the joke, but it'd still be funny.
