[Giveaway] Dominions 4, OVER! All gone
« on: November 28, 2013, 06:18:51 pm »

What is Dominions 4? It's a fantasy 4X turn-based strategy game. See the dev page for feature list and general blabbery: Official Dom4 Site. It's a pretty big game, 300+ items, 800+ spells, 2,000+ monsters. In other words the AI can't even hope to keep up with all the possibilities and combinations. That's why it has a considerable multiplayer base. There's usually a couple of games running even here in our little corner of the internet we call Bay12. It has a neat hands-off tactical combat and simultaneous turn resolution which means that you can play PBEM games that don't span a decade going from one player to the next.

Just so happens that I'm filthy rich and Gamersgate is having a thanksgiving sale, which includes a modest drop in Dom4 price tag down to 21€ and pocket change. I want to play my part in maintaining a healthy tradition of Dominions multiplayer shenanigans here in Bay12, hence the giveaway.

So, three copies. Up until they're all gone or Gamersgate ends the Dom4 sale, whether that's three hours or three days I don't know.

Of course I can't tell you what to do with your copies but my ulterior motive is to get more people into the local multiplayer scene. It doesn't matter whether you're a Dom3 vet who hasn't made the switch yet or a Dom newbie who's on the fence about it.


No escaped lunatics.
First come, first served.

Looks like about twelve minutes. That's almost impressive :P

Cheers, folks!

I am honestly shocked that I was the first person to ask for a copy.

I've had it for a while now.
We should schedule a weekend game or something soon.

That should be all. PM me if there's any issues. Too bad the sale was only 21€, at 15 I could have squeezed in a few more copies.

Have fun and good luck in climbing the learning curve.

You aren't kidding. About 30 minutes in and I'm still staring at the "Create a Pretender" screen, wondering what the hell to pick.

Also, thanks again for the giveaway.

Read the manual. I downloaded the demo of 3 and messed around with it a little bit before Delta sent me my copy, and while I was able to figure some stuff out by just clicking around the UI the manual will make it much easier.

Also, thanks for the giveaway!
