Its out on steam:

[Jilladilla]

Yup. Time to edit the title. I'm so excited.

[Culise]

Lovely.  Nice to know my case of all-night-insommia wasn't a total wash.

[ThtblovesDF]

So I'm just derping around, but watching the fire from archers and javlins is really statisfying...

[Shadowgandor]

Any new nations introduced? Or interesting spells?

[Culise]

I just downloaded and...what happened to Glory of the Gods?  I liked that mega-map, but the only maps I see are Biddyn, Peliwyr, Silent Seas, and the random option.  Ah well, c'est la vie.  I'd imagine that redrawing winterized versions of all the maps was too much to expect on release. ^_^

EDIT:

Any new nations introduced? Or interesting spells?

New nations are EA Rus, MA Uruk, and LA Erytheia.  Basically, the EA equivalent of Vanarus/Bogarus, the MA equivalent of Ur, and the LA equivalent of incestuous, insane fish-folk Pelagia.  Haven't played enough to get a feel for any of them yet, though.

Didn't get to test much yet, but if you win a death match with a creature that only has a head + misc slots, you WON'T get the Champions helmet. It said cuirass, but since its impossible for this big raven to wear it, it just didn't show up. Not in the item-treasury either...

Pan has a new summon spell, we'll see about the other stuff.

[Il Palazzo]

Holy cow, there's three maps only?

re:enchrebate

Does anybody know what this would be used for? I want to say it's for a new nation but nothing I've heard about jives with it.

It's a Dom4 command, Oceania had (and still does have this for Sirens when a global is up (Lure of the Deep?).
However the command sadly gives a fixed 50 gold rebate, not 50%, limiting it's usefulness for modding. I hope we can convince them to change this.

(Some of the other commands you list were already in Dom4 too, but they weren't in the manual, only on the webpage)

Three official maps only, for now, but the random mapgenerator is better than Dom4's.

Dammit, the one night I don't have this...

Does it feels very different from Dominions 4? I have Dominions 4 and played Dom 3 and felt the difference was very superficial. Things that are added in other games as free patches.

[ThtblovesDF]

Well you get a lot more info and all that - check out the video a few pages back.

Winter and weather is more clearly there, more things interact...

I feel like one could do some silly things with priest spam, since you can work out some decent holy spells + bless combos... will test in detail later.

[Karlito]

This game is great.

I'm not actually playing yet, but the changes to how combat work are going to be huge. IGOUGO -> more-or-less-simultaneous has balance implications that'll take a while to work out. The strategic movement changes look to be pretty dramatic as well.

Ugh, they need to fix menu opacity. The setting in preferences doesn't seem to affect e.g. recruitment screen. Mah eyes.
