About Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension
Command a pretender god ruling a unique nation inspired by real-world mythologies and cultures, competing against rival deities to achieve godhood through conquest, dominion destruction, or claiming the Thrones of Ascension. This deep 4X turn-based strategy features intricate customization of your god and dominion, extensive modding capabilities, and timeless gameplay that's captivated players since 2002.
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 and followers. 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.
In Dominions 4 you can also play team games where one of the players take the role of supreme god, and the other members of the team are his servants and loyal subjects. The lesser gods rule their nations, but you all share the dominion of the supreme god.
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, shona and kievian rus 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.
Dominions 4 is also a highly moddable game. You can create your own monsters, spells and entire nations. Since Dominions 3 there has been a vivid modding community and Dominions 4 will enhance this capability even further.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension is a deep 4X strategy game with dozens of factions and mythology-rich mechanics that reward players willing to invest time in learning its systems. While the basic graphics and steep learning curve won't appeal to everyone, players praise the addictive "one more turn" gameplay and strategic complexity, with most suggesting it's best experienced at a discount rather than full price.
Honestly don't know what I am doing most of the time. 10/10
10/10
Surprisingly good 4x game with deep mechanics. I was bored and bought it on a heavy discount at a whim with no real expectations and it completely hit me out of nowhere.
Really good game for my fellow strategy and/or mythology autists. The graphics aren't great, but the gameplay depth and dozens of different factions make up for it and then some. Probably not worth the full price, definitely would recommend getting it on sale.

Honestly the most interesting series I have played to date. This one was an intruduction to the series. I also play Dominions 5 and Dominions 6. All great game in the series, with slight differences, but always more added with each release.
