About Dominions 5 - Warriors of the Faith
Build a custom god to rule your nation and battle rival pretenders across a mythologically-inspired world in this deep 4X strategy game where you win by conquering lands, destroying enemy dominions, or claiming the Thrones of Ascension. Dominions 5 refines the series with customizable god blessings, simultaneous unit movement in battles, and dozens of historically and mythologically-grounded factions from Norse Vanir to Lovecraftian horrors.
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.

Didn't like it. Don't feel like elaborating further.4 found this helpful
Turned 10,000 people into Ghouls. Success.2 found this helpful
I wanted to play EA Machaka, so I read what people said about it online. What they said about the expansion parties just didn't work, so I spent days going through all of the best combinations for it until I found the one army that worked consistently. I wanted to play EA Ermor so I spent 10 minutes and found an amazing expansion party. 10/10 would recommend.
All Praise Underground Belt, the Far-Traveler
Only game where you can try to plunge the world into ten thousand years of darkness AND all of your opponents may be trying to do the same. Also you can play as a fish that eats 100 people a month. This game lets you do a lot of things others won't.
very addicting. Turns get slow with maxxed out ai. I got the latest sequel to keep up with mods and don't regret it.
