Thanks for the warm welcome, Dragar, nice to know you. And yeah, don't get me started on MtG rules "lawyers" lol.

I'll take a look around and see if I can figure out how to get involved in a mp game or two. Problem is, once my wife comes downstairs she's going to want to go play Sacred II or EVE Online, so I may have to limit my mp Dom play to PBEM. How is that working these days?

Most games advertised for are run on the llamaserver, which is a pbem server. There are certainly a good number of games running at all times. A few games are looking for players at the moment, if you're interested.

PBEM works great, and by its nature you can choose when you play. One game is very tie undemanding, and if you want to get busy you just add more games.

It is a completely different game, the strategic complexity makes the AI hopeless and frustrating to play against. Good human opponents are tough - I've been playing for a year now without winning a game

Dominions is by its nature a PBEM game. Typical hosting interval is one turn per day in the early game, increased to 48 hours when it gets to the later game. Unless you join a blitz game where the hosting intervals is much, much smaller so that a large number of turns are played in quick succession.

Hi all.

Love the game (played Dom2 as well).

[RegnorVex]

Awesome. You guys have me psyched to get a pbem going. Thanks for the encouragement and suggestion.

Welcome welcome. Do remember to try some mods when you feel you've got a feel for dominions generally.

Hello!
I put off purchasing Dom3 for some time due to its costs and the costs of shipping it here to Germany -- but I finally submitted! I have now "awakened"!
I have dominions 3 for about 2 weeks now and like it very much. I will soon post a huge, rambling thread here asking all of the questions that I have.
Perhaps we can see each other in-game one day -- I do not feel up to playing a PBEM yet, since I think I am not nearly good enough and do not understand the maximizing stuff you people write about in your threads. Maybe there are games for people who want a "Casual" game? Also perhaps a game where no body minds if a turn is not submitted every day? I have only played SP so far (argh!! the AI is so silly somethimes!) but see that in the later parts of the game, a turn can take hours to do -- so much to see and think of!!
Fun!
Hope to see you around soon, and thanks in advance for your patience with newbiness

Hi Jan

Newbie-friendly games start pretty regularly, keep an eye out in the multiplayer subforum. And please don't feel you need to play much more SP before you join an MP game. As long as you have th every basics go for it, you never learn as much as you do by MP games, and no matter how much SP you have under your belt you will still be surprised constantly against experienced human players. Just suck it up and dive in

1 turn per day is really not much time at all, and as games get later the hosting intervals normally go further. If you are unable to meet time for a specific turn the game admin will almost certainly postpone it for you - happens all the time, we all have our lives

Just thought I would say hello, I'm new to this game and have yet to play a multiplayer game.

Just practicing with the single player game and there is a lot to learn.

Looking forward to seeing you on the battle field.
