]]> 02 Dec 2006 07:33:26 Dominions 3: The Awakening The Dominions series are created by [user=Illwinter] studios (2 guys) out of Finland and published by [user=Shrapnel Games], one of the last online refuges of PC-based, independently produced war- and strategy-games. Dominions is a turn-based game of province conquest, income management, army customisation and management, combat tactics and management and ultra-light diplomacy (single player that is, multiplayer you can make diplomacy as intricate as you like). Finally, there's bit of stat-based hero management, as your units age, obtain experience and battle wounds, learn new spells and obtain power-up items (crafted by trained mages and based on supply of magic gems). It's a blend of Sid Meier's Civilization, Risk, [game=Heroes of Might & Magic], [game=Europa Universalis] and about 10 different mythologies, fictional and historical. Just for kicks, there is a dash of roguelike, Nethackish randomness, in that in any particular battle any of your carefully groomed commanders may die a sudden, horrible death regardless of how well-protected you think they are.
