### To buy Dominions 3 or 4?

Hello good folk of the Den,
I have been interested in trying out Dominions for a while, but am not sure if I should pick up Dominions 3 or 4. At gamersgate I could get Dominion 3 for $5 or Dominions 4 for $30, so now I wonder if the differences are worth the extra 25 dollars.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Dom4 is worth it if you ever want to play multiplayer. If you are primarily interested for other reasons, Dom3 should be fine.

Thank you Avoraciopoctules for the thoughts. Gamersgate dropped the price of Dom 4 to $20 for cyber monday, so I decided to pick it up instead of 3.
Any advice for starting out?

Play the tutorial. Then give MA Man a whirl, because they are still a really good vehicle for learning basic and widely applicable battle methods.

Success in multiplayer generally involves starting with a strategy, building toward it, but staying flexible enough to adapt. You should know what your research points are going towards.
The AI can't stand up to bless rush troops or massed evocation.
