The Great Pretender


Thorondor

Recommended Posts

Godly power you hold. But ever there are others that foolishly seek to seize control of the world you rightly call yours. A definitive lesson must therefore be taught, by the time-honoured means of turn-based strategy precepts, in Illwinter Game Designs's upcoming Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Some of the most divine features:

 

 

 

• Design your pretender god and how his dominion influences provinces and his sacred units.

• Random maps with cave, mountain passes and rivers (rivers can only be passed when frozen).

• Three Eras to play in, Early era is most magic and the late era is more technologically advanced with good steel weapons and armors.

• Unique magic artifacts that all players compete for, once forged no one else can make it.

• Scouts, Assassins, Spies, Seducers, Corruptors, Werewolves, Illusionists and more can be sneaking in your provinces.

• An extensive magic system with over 800 spells.

• More than 300 magic items.

• Many monsters (2000+) and many many special abilities.

• AI opponents for single or multiplayer games.

• Network or Play by E-Mail for multiplayer.

 

 

 

Extensive modding to shape things in accordance to your every whim is also claimed to be supported.

 

 

Power unimaginable thusly awaits you come late August when this offering is portended to be unleashed. Further scrying indicates pre-ordering on Desura shall be possible shortly.
