Now that Dominions 3 can be gotten as a download there is renewed interest in this wonderful long-lasting strategy game. http://www.Dom3Minions.com/aboutDom3.htm BUT THIS IS NOT A USUAL STRATEGY GAME! It is LOW on graphics and sound and user interface. HIGH on strategy and replayability. It is NOT for everyone. I HIGHLY recommend that EVERYONE try the DEMO before paying money for this game! The game has been patched/updated frequently. In fact it was just recently patched for Netbook screen sizes and updating the sound capabilities. So the demo is quite abit out of date, particularly in the area of user interface. But it will still give you an idea of whether you can live with its faults in order to enjoy its advantages. The demo only allows research to 4th level of magic, and only playing 5 of the (now 63) nations. I dont understand the selection of those 5. They are not a good selection for showing the many different play styles, not the most interesting, not the most fun for new people. Anyway, in order to facilitate the many people beginning to show interest I am re-opening Demo-only multiplayer games on my server. They use one of the maps that comes with the demo, and toss in 3 AIs from the non-accessable nations, so you can play solo if you want. Or when 5 players join (the max nations for human players in the demo) it will automatically start. Or hit the start button anywhere in between (1-5 player games). Have fun. The demo games can be found here.... http://game.dom3minions.com/bin/demo_chk.cgi Download the demo, create your god, join a game. For people who already have the full game and are looking for a small variation to the standard solo-play games, some various full-version games are available here... http://www.dom3minions.com/HostedGames.htm Gandalf Parker -- There can "only be one" is a great marketing quote. But after years of play Dom3 we all know that there will NEVER be one."

John Doe <jdoe@usenetlove.invalid> contributed wisdom to news:4ba78cf8$0 $32079$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com: > Dom Minion > > ??? Not sure of your question. The game is called Dominions 3. The forums like to shorten it to Dom3. So the fan site is for Dom3 Minions, or Dom3Minions.com Its a pun kindof. Gandalf Parker
