Title: An indy game that i am liking. Have you heard of Dominions 3? Post by: hal on July 09, 2007, 05:39:53 PM From the back of the 294 page manual.
Turn based fantasy 4X gaming with up to 21 (AI or human) players using simultaneous turns Fifty different playable nations More than 600 spells and 300 magic items. Theres a lot of MTG feel here. Synergency A lot of different ways to go. Theres a counter for evething. It doesn't have the stupid mechanics of MTGO, play is straightforward. Single player or multiplayer, but multiplayer is where it is at. Hosting takes almost no bandwith and almost no CPU cycles. A common way to set the server is quick play ( turns generated when every one has played) and turns forced at 24 hours. Thats common but you can set up your server any whey you like. Any way supporting Indy games is cool. Title: Re: An indy game that i am liking. Have you heard of Dominions 3?

Title: Re: An indy game that i am liking. Have you heard of Dominions 3? Post by: hal on July 09, 2007, 06:42:40 PM Google dominions 3. It is published by illwinter. theres a nice demo with a 7 turn walk through. All free. OK heres http://www.shrapnelgames.com/. the publisher. The home page for the game http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/Dom3/1.htm. I probally suck at linking but theres my poor attempt. The graphics are not grand but the game play is. Or, at least I am liking it.

Post by: Selby on July 09, 2007, 07:37:41 PM I played the demo for Dominions 2 as I believe it was naum who was really into it and turned me onto it. Very detailed game, very hard to get into and get through, but once you did it was supposedly like crack with how good it was. I got eaten in the demo for it quite pathetically.

Seems cool but I never got over the hump enough to enjoy it much. Title: Re: An indy game that i am liking. Have you heard of Dominions 3? Post by: naum on July 11, 2007, 08:36:13 AM Greatest TBS evar… …makes Civ series look like checkers… …use the forum Search to find previous threads on Dom3…
