Dominions6 is a turn based4 x strategy game suitable for both play vs AI player vs player Team play vs AI or players also works great as everyone can do their turns at once The game has a huge variety of units spells magic items and different nations to play
In Dominions you take control of a powerful being that rules a nation and aspires to godhood The type of Pretender Gods can vary from magically powerful arch mages to huge titans or large monuments The pretender gods have different strengths dependent on what kind of god you choose and what nation you play
When you start the game you decide what kind of god you are and how your Dominion affects your lands followers and sacred soldiers It is an expression of your divine might and the faith of your followers If your dominion dies so do you Your dominion also inspires your sacred warriors and gives them powers derived from your dominion
In order to win and become the one true god you have to defeat your enemies one of three different ways conquer their lands extinguish their dominion or claim the Thrones of Ascension
Dominions is set in a fantasy world that draws inspiration from historical nations cultures and myths You will not encounter the elves of conventional fantasy in this game Instead you might lead a nation of vanir from old norse myth Aztecs romans israelites greeks kievian rus and lovecraftian horrors are just a few of the inspirational sources of the game
The first Dominions game was released in2002 and was well received by strategy gamers Since then Dominions has been much refined and Dominions series is still actively played making it one of the longest running4 x turn based strategy games
Dominions6 is scaled up compared to Dominions5 and armies are larger We wanted to tweak the balance between conventional armies and magic To accomplish this a couple of changes are introduced Incomes and resources are increased while mages are more expensive Battlefield-wide spells are more difficult to cast and there are instead more mid-tier spells There are some other changes with the same aim
The second and probably most influential change is the addition of a new magic path No longer are illusions the domain of Air magic Instead illusions phantasms dreams and the stuff of forgotten legends are manipulated with the path of Glamour This has resulted in many new spells items and sites being added to the game
A third massive change is the separation of mounts and riders Riders and mounts now have separate stats and can be targeted individually This change probably has less impact on gameplay than the previous one but will still have an impact on cavalry and nations using mounted units
Dominions6 features a number of new nations as well The addition of the Glamour path has also affected several of the old nations
There are also a number of changes intended to ease gameplay
