About Dominions of War
Dominions of War is an epic fantasy strategy game wrapped in a charming retro pixel aesthetic, where grand empire-building meets intense tactical warfare.
🗺️ Explore & Build Your Empire
Embark on a vast, unpredictable campaign map heavily inspired by the deep 4X mechanics of Civilization and Might and Magic. Discover ancient ruins, complete epic quests, and extract valuable resources. Establish thriving cities, manage your economy, and engage in complex diplomacy with rival kingdoms to secure your borders.
⚔️ Total War-Style Tactical Battles
When diplomacy fails, lead your forces directly onto the battlefield. Experience real-time tactical controls reminiscent of the Total War series, commanding thousands of units of different types. Deploy infantry, archers, artillery and cavalry. Position your troops wisely, use the terrain to your advantage, and execute flawless battle strategies where numbers and positioning decide victory.
🧙♂️ Heroes, Magic & Monsters
Recruit powerful, customizable heroes to lead your factions, leveling them up and completing quests just like in classic strategy RPGs. Turn the tide of massive sieges by casting world-shaking spells across the battlefield. Face off against giant, terrifying fantasy monsters capable of shredding through ordinary soldiers if left unchecked.
👑 Shape Your Destiny
No two campaigns are ever the same. With multiple game modes to choose from like Rags to Riches, Clean Slate and Rival Empires, the starting position and the known world is always a different take and you have to adapt on every level.
The entire world and its factions are all progressively generated each time you create a new game, providing an unlimited challenge as you can set the world size and amount of factions as you like. Forge shifting alliances, spark brutal rivalries, and decide exactly how you want to conquer the world.
