The Old God has left the world and the pretenders are awakening and coming out from hiding. You start the game by designing one of the pretender gods that will compete for true ascension to godhood. The type of god can range from a magically powerful arch mage to an ancient kraken or a mystic monolith that people pray to.

Writing far from the future, this was the game that got me into the Dominions series; now at iteration 5. It's still a good game that holds up well in single player. If you haven't played any game in the series and want to try them out in single player, this is definitely a good option. A lot of fun can be had exploring the mechanics, which are deep and multi-faceted. In hindsight there's a bit of jankiness that later games solve, but I still prefer this to most 4x/GS games out there.
it's good, but buy dominions 5 instead, or wait for dominions 6.

I really struggle to understand everything that is going on here and tutorials are not as helpful as I would like. This is the kind of game that I would typically enjoy, but I am at a loss on what good strategy is for this game. Sometimes, it looks like I'm doing well, but something outlandish happens and I instantly lose with no real explanation. Maybe if someone sat me down and walked me through every aspect, I could get better, but that shouldn't be the threshold for simply being able to play the game! The lack of decent graphics and sound doesn't do the game any favors either. You'll need to invest lots of time to learn the game, and by then, you may find out that you don't enjoy it very much. Overall: 2/5
A bloated autobattler on sprite engine (early Total Wars look better) melted into a simplified map-coloring simulator (no building) with funny quantity of races & magic spells. All sequels in the series are the same, UI in this one is cooked, buy #5.
This game has so much depth, don't let its oldschool graphic style trick you. The beauty of this is in the depth, variety of options, and strategy. The reference booklet is almost 300 pages. And its fun to read because you begin to realize how many factors are at play here. I know the newest one just came out, Dom 6, but I wanted to start with an older version, and get to know, before progressing forward through them. I've never seen a strategy fantasy game with this much depth that is from this vantage point of kingdoms. There are so many unique units, spells, gems, items, buildings. My favorite part was in completing the tutorial save, there was one troll that I had surrounded, he had mages that summon spectral wolves, and he's nearly immune to my damage, so I lost 4 battles against him. It was like 120 units on 5, but he was the last bastion in the west. Eventually, I overwhelmed him but the theme of this Troll holding back my armies was very cool.
It's a fun mix of Risk and Heroes of Might and Magic with just a touch of Medieval Total War. Way too much micro management late game in really large maps. And definitely a time sink. But, a pleasing one at that, with a fairy original concept closest in style to Masters of Magic. Might not be a 10/10 but glad to buy it on a sale any day and spend hours on it in a lazy Saturday. PS: really really easy to mod. Great thumbs up for their support for easy mods, and generally great documentation!
what a price
Despite it's minimalistic approach to design, this game is one of the best fantasy TBS out there full of little details and soul. Not to mention the great amount of playable races and creatures available.
to be honest i wish i has my money back if you havent played the other dominion games dont buy it its ridiculously expensive, and the game fails to be unique in anything. it needs a campaign, the tutorial is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and if you do figure it out it is strangley addiciting at first but it quickly fades... tumbs down for me :(
Excellent little game well worth the money. By now, they have just released Dominions 5, I found this series with Dominons 2, and have enjoyed all of them through 4. I have yet to pick up 5, but so far it looks promising. I just need more hours in my life.
