You are a God! You are master and ruler of a loyal nation. You have unimaginable powers at your disposal. You have claimed this world as yours. But there are others who stand in your way. You must defeat and destroy these pretenders. Only then can you ascend to godhood and become the new Pantokrator. 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.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Game is general great, but have few weakness and bugs. Most irrytating thing is disease. No option to eliminate it from game. And its reason why i playing other games more often than Dominions serie. Despite these flaws, the game is interesting and very complex.
As much as I tried to enjoy this game, it is simply Micromanagement hell. I generally like strategy games. I really enjoyed Crusader Kings, Stellaris and so on. This game manages to take simplicity (Very few resources to manage, for example) and create difficulty by making everything need constant attention every moment. It's a bit like trying to turn a hobby into a job, I suppose.
