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.
New for Dominions 5 is that a God's bless effects can be customized in detail giving a new set of choices for the aspiring Gods. Battles have also received a major change and now feature simultaneous movement for all participating units. Fireballs and arrows will now fly at the same time as everyone is moving and watching large battles will be quicker than before.
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 in 2002 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 running 4x turn based strategy games.

my god is she ugly but she can **** a mean ****
This game is good, but it's definitely not for everyone. The thumbs down is because I wanted to like this game more than I did. Some of the hours are just leaving the game online and reading a ton online.
The good;
1) I love it when a game offers more than one character to play as. In a strategic warfare game like this, I like that it offers a big choice of nations to choose from with different units. Each nation has its lore entry and the units have some descriptions to get you into the atmosphere.
2) There are a LOT of magic spells in this game. It's almost too many and it definitely feels overwhelming. But some of the systems are genuinely interesting and unique. Magic includes combat spells, rituals performed outside of combat and forging magic items.
3) A deep system for those interested.
The bad;
1) The interface is absolutely atrocious. It's not just minimalist, it is lacking in a way that I can only understand as laziness or lack of interest from the developers. Clearly it's working for the loyal fan base considering this is the 5th game in the series and there's currently a 6th. The first time I saw how obtrusive managing everything is I was surprised cause it seemed like the kind of flaw an indie on their first game would make, not someone on their 5th game.
2) The learning curve is HIGH. Half the time I've spent "playing" this game is reading the online wiki, the manual or looking up videos online which are very detailed. This might work for some, but I would rather spend it playing. Also, there's absolutely no tutorial to tell you how the game works.
3) I would be willing to overlook the lacking interface, the deep/high learning curve, the lack of a tutorial and the overwhelming systems of magic, but the thing that kind of makes me stop playing the game is how "dry" it is. When you play in single player there's a lore entry for the nation you play as, and there's a generic victory text that's the same for all nations. That's it. There's nothing in-between, no specific victory text for any nation or for the diety you play as. It's pretty much a digitized board game with some graphics.
Is this game bad? No, I wouldn't say so. It's clearly flawed by modern-gaming standards, but it's deep and there's a lot of attention paid here along with a great and interesting magic system. But it's absolutely not for everyone. I'm not upset that I got it because I got it for real cheap. I'm hoping in the future a Dominions game is released that's much more accessible and inviting.
Oh, by the way. Dominions 6 is -by most accounts- merely an updated Dominions 5, so I'm not expecting much soon.
Dominions somehow merges the horror and brutality of large-scale warfare between primordial entities with the mundane drudgery of managing a huge excel spreadsheet.
Don't buy this game. Wonder why there's Dominions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, all released close to each other? The developer releases one update calls in Dominions 6 and charges $40 for it.
Gooned until I died
Yeah
One of the best games. Don't miss it
one of the only games you can play offline just get you key from the file
fuck steam for renting your games to you get gog where you buy the game then actually own it no need to login just to play a game you bought
please illwinter sell your games on gog you would expand the amount of gamers that play your game and also help get rid of this greedy ass corparation
good to play with friends if you are bad at scheduling
graphic's are not great but the game is very good.
When the Ermor hit😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is a great game series, one of a kind. I'm not really a fan of how the authors monetize the game by releasing a new numbered part, instead of upgrading the previous one. That makes a lot of community effort obsolete, mainly maps and conversion mods. On the other hand, it gives them a freedom to change major mechanics without breaking compatibility. It's better than DLC's, I guess... Still saddens me, that the 5th part with its great main menu music will never be "The actual Dominions game" ever again.
Buy Dominions 6 instead of this, it's a straight up upgrade. But at least listen to the 5th soundtrack on Youtube. It shouldn't be forgotten.
A unique take on the 4X genre, focused just about exclusively on combat. All tactics have to be predetermined in the army setup screen, the battles are resolved automatically between turns without any player input so you have to make sure your soldiers and mages have all of their orders set up just right.
The mechanics aren't terribly complex but the sheer amount of options you have is unparalleled. Hundreds of unit types, dozens of factions, a plethora of spells and magic items. It really shines in multiplayer where you interact with all of the systems, the singleplayer AI is decent but doesn't experiment much with the magic system so you can abuse that to beat it even on harder difficulties.
The price can seem a bit steep for such an old game, and you may want to buy the next release instead if you're paying full price. But if you like 4X or grand strategy, this is well worth picking up, especially on sale.
Такая же редкая жемчужина в океане индюшатины, как и Shadow Empire. Очень глубокий и вариативный геймплей, идеально для любителей пошагового всего. Графония нет, но он и не нужен.
Game crashed to black screen the first 3 times I tried to start a game. Not even during game loading or anything, just crashed during various points I was trying to allocate my points. The menu - the only part of this pos that I actually got to experience - was atrocious.
Reject Modernity.
Embrace Pantokrator.
Love this series
