About the game

I've been trying Dominions 3 and seriously considering buying it. But I have some doubts, the game was released several years ago and at the same time multiplayer games seem to be active. So:

1 How hard is for a newcomer to get into the game (thinking multiplayer)? If it's mostly vets who play (don't know really) lacking those years of game experience will left me in a bad starting position
2 Is a dominions 4 expected? I've read it's not, but there is few info anyway and i don't know if dom3 is the game to get or should I wait for the next release.

Thanks in advance,

Two newbie games started in the last 2 weeks. So, there are plenty of beginners still in the game, like me.

The way you learn is getting your hat handed to you...

Play against good players...

Yeah, you lose the first few, but the lessons it teaches you...

People around here who seem to know seem to think that Dominions 4 isn't coming, or that if it IS coming we won't see it for a long time. The developers' newest game COE3 ( http://illwinter.com/coe3/index.html ) is coming out and they probably aren't working on another huge game at the same time. If you're interested in Dominions, definitely get Dominions 3.

I was in the same situation 6 months ago and i don't regret my expense.
There is still a lot of newcomers and the community is bigger than what you can see here. I'm ready to bet that this game (his community) will be still alive in several years.

I hope to see you on the field

just bought the game a week ago. have gotten lots of help here on this forum. just got in a "noob friendly" game, and may get in another soon.

if u like deep strategy(and don't mind taking a few beatings) this is the game for you.

Yeah, I like fantasy and strategy games, but most of them seem to lack something, don't know what it is. Based also on the AARs I've been reading, I see potential and options here. So buy it is, thanks for the feedback.

lunaje, one other piece of advice. i couldn't get into a mp game for about 10 days. and it was a good thing. mess around with SP for a bit with a race or two before you join MP. but ultimately, you gotta play vs humans.
