I'm no Dominions veteran. I learned about Dom3 just a week before Dom4 came out but what I learned about it in that time was enough to buy this game for 30 euros on bloody Desura. And that was 1st time in years when I bought a game outside of Steam.

Are you getting bored by your 10th Crusader Kings' world conquest?
Have you conquered whole Europe as Palatinate in EU4 ironmode?
You wish Rome 2 was less graphic and actually some content?

Then Dominions 4 is clearly a game for you.

You can tell it's 10 years of constant development. With 70 different factions, thousands creatures and spells ou guys are in for a treat!

Single player and AI leave much to be desired but they are just a training ground for great multiplayer experience. There are few more gratifying things than fighting seasoned veterans of this title. Especially since community is very helpful and welcoming allowing you to survive learning curve with just a few broken limbs.

Dominions 4 multiplayer is like a chess. If chess had 3.000 diferent units instead of 7 and could be played with few dozens people.
And was cool.
And had dragons.
And ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of spells.

If you are into all that just buy it. It has best $/content ratio you can find.

@Trecka11 It's outrageously priced. I got it on sale for 9 bucks and I'm very happy with it, it feels worth that price. But no way in hell I'd pay over 20 bucks for a game like this. It's one of those games that pretends to be deeper than it is. It's not deeper than CK2, just has more variety (not including mods).

The Rome II part hit me bad lol.
EUIV is still fun because of the workshop.

@Trecka11
you're the only one. with all the content here this game could easily be a $90 title (think base 60 + season pass or something,) the amount of content here is fucking amazing for such a cheap title.

can i just ask, does anyone else think this is a bit overpriced?

I meant types of units. Obviously.

Well aside from the chess inaccuracy as it has 32 units 16 on each side I like your review and wish to link to it for the benefit of our members at strategic win

Agree it's a great game, have played dominion 3 a lot and I will buy when it's on sale. Really don't understand this high price.

Dominions 4 is simply the best TBS I have ever played.

Not sure if you can edit this or not, but I think you mean "you" and not "ou"
Thank you for this, I shall certainly be picking this up soon. :airforce:
