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.

Dominions 3 is a fun and interesting turn-based strategy game where you play as a pre-made god or one of your creation. In spite of the primitive art there's a tremendous amount of depth to the gameplay, particularly in which age you start in, the map, your faction and their prefered biome and units, and your god. The art is serviceable and the game runs very smoothly, even late game with tens or even hundreds of thousands of units moving around in stacks. Lots of inputs are bound to hotkeys, but there's no tutorial or guide (other than looking through the Options menu) to find this, such as "building units" (which you'll be doing a LOT). I'd recommend checking these out, as they'll save you a lot of clicking, especially over longer games/larger maps. The biggest two detriments I found was: late game tedium of building units, especially mass-rallying units you're building at territories and advancing them up to a certain chokepoint. It sounds trite, but when you're managing 10 stacks of units being made each turn, at 10 different territories, every turn for each front, it gets really tedious. The other big issue is the water/land transition. Water empires tend to be inferior to land ones because, and frequently dominate their lakes/oceans but cannot expand aside from raiding the coasts. This leads to them building tens or even hundreds of thousands of units on every single inch of water, and being basically unconquorerable, by land armies trying to invade in spite of the "famine" mechanic making them lose unit HP for being too congested. Another concern might be the similarities of Dominions 3 to "Dominions 4", which appears to be more an upgraded version of D3 than a full-on new game. If you're interested in this, I'd recommend checking out that instead, or perhaps even Dominions 5.

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.
Meh- Fun game, but very very slow. Also the newer versions seem to be the same thing but better.
The game plays extremely well on modern systems and is a joy to play. Turn based wargaming
If i played this in 1990 it would have been a good game
Bit older and has crude graphics, but those aside, good strategy game
I tried to like this game but keep coming to a overwhelming feeling i wasted the 80% off of 19.99 to 4.99$ on sell price since i don`t even want it in my tittles list... Screw pay 20$ for it. It may be unique in its way of game content (not game play) but constantly you will find yourself learning by mistakes with lost games, which i was fine with till winning with no real feeling of reward. When its all said and done, this games easily forgetable.. Seriously guys, i recommend a real Grand Strategy or RTS worth the price of 20$. You might as well go for 4-5 cheap games like Darkest Hour on sell or get something at the 30$ range like Crusader Kings II but anything but this my friends.
There are a lot of fantasy kingdom managing/strategy games. Too many. This one seems harder than most. During my 30 plus hours of play I never came close to winning. Play a god any way you want. Clunky controls and ancient graphics nearly killed the game for me. A decent tutorial would have helped, but I don't usually read tutorials. Playing god my way resurrected my interest in the game.
Ребз, игра шикарнейшая, но один момент: как поставить большую букву, а то как-то такое себе звать бога с маленькой буквы. Пы.Сы. Капс работет только после хрен пойми каких обстоятельств, а шифт не работает впринципе.
Fantastic, bit buggy with windows 10 and 1440 res but still works. Get Dominions 4 runs better and is worth the extra few $. :)
