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.

I have angered the gods. All the gods. So many hours studying units. So many hours researching spells. So many hours reading guides. So many hours watching tournaments. So many hours planning pretenders. So few hours acutally playing. (in reality it's something like 150 hours, but it's still nothing by [i]Dominions[/i] standards) Dishonor. Best toy soldier army unboxing simulator, 10 out of 10. [spoiler]Play the sixth one.[/spoiler]
Either this is the best game/franchise you have ever played or possibly you just dont like this type of game/this level of depth and detail(and thats ok). For me it tickles just the right spots of my brain and is one of the few games I really have a hard time walking away from. Also it easily runs on low end hardware. I will probably upgrade to Dominions 6 soon, but for now I'm still having too much fun with 5.
kid u not theres so much slavic/pagan mythology it makes me nardes quiver with lust just reading their descriptions, try the Chude/Chud nation out they're from Slavic Mythology, you can also play as Kieven Rus but paganist
