Yes, this is weird. Shrapnel is not advertising Dominions 2?
Usually all games have huge number of previews. I tought that Dominions 2. will be advertised a lot.
Avault, Gamespy, Gamespot, Gamers Hell etc..there are many to choose from.
Oh and these sites are never using player written reviews.

Here is a link to the Gamespot preview. As I said before, only a copy of the Shrapnels' text. More can be found by searching for "ascension wars", wihtout quotation marks.

Edit: I managed to make that a link instead of a simple address...

So, he is like 14 or so years old, and plays a very complex game in a foreign language & mantains a webpage (something which I cannot do at my age, much the less 20 years ago)...the boy must certainly be brighter than me.

I have found Nerfix's comment dumb as well. If he is 14, than we cannot say anything bad, since he is very immature. Playing games, or making a webiste like that is very easy, even my 12 years old little sister made a better website..in flash!

I call it preview, but I do not read much previews. Atleast it is something. Was there a preview like this for Dominions: PPP, in Gamespot? I would say this is an improvement, if nothing else.

I believe there's a difference between making 'dumb' comments and uninformed or precipitate ones. The first come from stupidity, the second from young age & get corrected by education & age.

Maybe you would be able to play Dominions in Russian? I know I wouldn't.

A kid that fancies a deep complex game in a foreign language instead of your standard instant gratification FPS doesn't deserve to be judged so harshly.

Still his post made no sense.

As for a deep complex game..this is all about english. If you understand it, you can play Dominions without a problem, you wont have to be a prof.
Most kids in Europe understand english very well at the age of 14.

Wendigo I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but the comment by Nerfix was dumb. If something is not clear for me, I surely won't make dumb comments. It is just me?

I agree, and I am really finding MStavros' comments objectionable.
