I’m finally giving Dominions 6 a proper shot! I played a bit of Dominions 5 before, but I never got particularly good at it or tried multiplayer.
This time, Im planning to dip into multiplayer if I end up enjoying it.
If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s an indie 4X/wargame that started way back in 2001. It’s made by just two devs (super indie vibes), and each new entry has only gotten bigger and better. At this point, there are around 100 playable fantasy nations, which is just massive.
So whats Dominions 6 about? You’re basically a god—you create your own god at the start of the game—and you pick a mythological nation to lead. The goal is to take control of the Thrones of Ascension or become the top god by eliminating the others. Conquer their lands, snuff out their dominion, or claim the Thrones—your path to victory is up to you.
It sounds deceptively simple, but from the moment you choose your nation and create your pretender god, you’ll face a myriad strategic decisions. The graphics feel comfy to me, though many will call them outdated. There is a massive magic system as well. I probably should make a thread about Dominons 6 at some point.
