Myself, I'm not seeing myself picking it up at all. The price tag is more nuts than I remember (you truly are a wealthy radish). And I might have been burned out on Dominions anyway.
But being able to read up on how differently it plays in this much detail is much appreciated. Ta.

I understand the big selling point this version is the extraplanar activity? Plus some minor tweaks.

Yeah, but the last couple times the sun would never set on their empire. These days, a mid-sized cloud is all it takes to hide their dominion.

When everybody decides blowing shit up is necessary is when you have a world war.

These updates put me in a mood of maaaaaybe thinking about potentially considering entertaining the idea of having another go at MP.
Would there be any interest some time in the not-to-immediate future? Maybe try Oceania this time? Some house rules (cough*nukes*cough), etc?

Bruh we used to be like 7 people who were actually active here, and Armok was 3 of them. This place is ludicrously active, I haven't been able to keep up with it for years.

The numbers don't lie though.

Are you saying Kaguses lie then? Nay, it's them thar numbers. They see the past through rose-tinted glasses. They get wobbly with age. Don't trust them with your money.

Must this even be political in nature? The Somali piracy was driven by the collapse of state institutions and poverty, and Yemen ain't exactly doing fine in those areas.

And the more we talk, the more likely it is (due to Hitler's Law) that someone will try to argue their point by bringing up Mike Godwin...

You sound like Hitler, mate.

The Running Man. I've just rewatched it, having seen it as a kid previously. I did remember it as shallow entertainment, but not this much. The plot is the barest of bones, there's maybe two actors that don't butcher their lines, the one-liners are cringe and overabundant, and half the screen time is taken up by the camera lusting after every piece of flesh it can glue itself to.
It's like some studio exec saw Rollerball and said: 'Let's make a porn parody of this, only with more carnage and violence. But cut all the sex and gore so that it's pg-13.'
