it's fun and all but I rally dislike how the enemies stop spawning and the merchants only seem to sell a finite number of each item. I loved switching around between various equipment to keep it interesting in the first game, but now it really seems like a bad idea since the titanite shards ran out very quickly.I also can't seem to play co-op with a friend who is just a few levels (5-8 or something similar) ahead of me.

Note that the amount of stuff merchants sell increases as you progress in the game, most consumables and shards and stuff will end up being sold in infinite amounts by the end of the game.
Also, matchmaking isn't based on SL anymore, its soul memory so your friend likely has just earned more/less souls than you.

Hurrah for quick help!
Good to know things will be more available later, maybe I don't need to be as careful planning what to use it on. I still find it weird that enemie stop spawning though, not that I've had a particular problem with it yet, but I can see it happening and an open world without anyone in it would be kind of dead and boring.

So basically looking around for loot and killing some random things while the other player isn't will make you unable to play together? Keeping levels close was sometimes enough of a problem for us in the first game as I couldn't play as often. Looks like we'll either have to skip playing together or make more characters. That's really unfortunate as I was really looking forward to it. 

Isn't that already known as the current ruler of the country? And that was probably why it was introduced to begin with. Since important countries exploded when they got into trouble and the ai couldn't handle it.

I really dislike it as well though.

This isn't specific to Masterwork, but it's still profitable here.
I've always bought as much leather and cloth from caravans as I could, it's a simple process to turn them into light-weight fairly valuable crafts for the next caravan.
It takes a little time, like some of the other suggestions, but I find that a plus since it leaves one or two less idlers and you get a good tailor and leather crafter out of it (not to mention the ability to buy most things you want from the caravans).

It's dependent on actually getting caravans there in one piece so you can trade with them though.

If there's an overriding theme of Dominions, it's that the Pantokrator is always a huge dick.

Holy carp is real!

Excited about the update though the Caelum parts might have been pushed back a bit.

Based on the names, Maharishi and Raksharani should be a great guru and a raksha queen. As for "Caelum gods", yeah, no idea. Presumably something Zoroastern. But the next patch looks like Caelum is getting a serious massaging, so it should be interesting.

Yeah, the new India based pretenders are kind of straight forward. Not sure what "Caelum gods", "Caelum Pretenders" or "Some pretenders" refers to in the notes though.

There's a lot of improvements, changes and additions to various mechanics all over the game but the basics is still pretty much the same. However they're also continuing to update Dom4 as opposed to Dom3 which is done. If you can get it on sale especially I'd say it's definitely worth it if you enjoy the game.
