According to the email I got from Shrapnel. Apparently saves $25 off ~$55, final price of just below $30.
Also, coupon code NOVFIFTY provides 10% off any purchase. Maybe this also works with the Dom3 discount?

Not the best graphics in the world but at that price if you're into turn-based fantasy strategy games, Dominions 3 gets very high marks.
Holy crap! Broke as I am, even I want to purchase the game now. Knowing Shrapnel's prices, it will almost certainly never be cheaper than it is right now.
Sh**.... The price was the only excuse not to get this! Its not necessarily the graphics but the 1000s of different ways of playing the game....
Dear santa....
Shrapnel Games. What a farce. All American: 82nd Airborne in Normandy has been "in development" for 13 years. 13 years! They took pre-order money from people back in 2006 and the game is still listed on Shrapnel's main webpage as "in development". The last game info update was in 2008 but they still accept pre-orders and regularly update the price ( now $54.95)
Look at the mind numbing system requirements.
Operating systems:
♦ Windows
General minimum requirements:
♦ Pentium II 300 MHz
♦ 32 MB RAM
♦ Minimum 250 MB hard drive space required
♦ 6X CDROM
♦ Windows 95 or better
♦ Windows compatible sound card

^Sorry you feel that way SDR. Any thoughts about Dominions 3, though?
Also, more like Vocal Disapproval Robot, right?

Not positive but I think the coupon is only good on orders of $50.00 or more.

You're right - it even says that in the email. Sorry.
Shrapnel has had Dominions 3 on sale for a number of days now, I bought it for what I consider a hefty $29 after participating in discussions over COE 3 maybe a week ago. The price point is rather high for such an old game but the depth is expansive and graphics are not a high point. COE 3 looks like a graphic marvel in comparison. One concern I have and after puchasing the game still feel reservations over is the fact that Gamers Front will only allow a 10 day window to download the game after purchase then you are out of luck if you need to download again. That will probably factor into future buying choices. Especially after the wonderful experience Plimus Services provided recently when I required a new download of Distant Worlds.

Jeez- a 300 page manual. Been waiting for it to fall from that ridiculous price for ages so thanks for the heads up. Heard great things about this game. Although I will likely never find time to play it I bought it.

My thoughts are:
Shrapnel games treats their customers poorly and therefore will not get any business from me.
I generally like the game. But IMHO FE supersedes it.
I think turn based multi-player with Dominions 3 still is a good ticket however.
