DOMINIONS, RISE OF THE PACHINKO MAN
Well what is this "Dominons" is it safe for my kids?
no
Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously,
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
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 OY VEY!! , greeks, kievian rus and lovecraftian horrors are just a few of the inspirational sources of the game.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a strategy game.

This game is a hell of a learning curve but if it tickles your autism you are in for a treat. The game is split between 3 "ages" Early, Middle, and Late with nations rising and falling as time marches on. This includes the units they posses, magic they can use, and spells available. There's a ton of nuance into how you can play with the most powerful statement being "it depends".
The game is playable in singleplayer mode and I've been told the AI in 6 is good for a knifefight in a phonebooth but the game really shines in multiplayer. Much like Kenshi, getting your assbeat makes you more powerful when seeing what a living breathing person does to you. It's taught me the value of mages, thugging, super combatants and what kind of retarded blesses you can do.
There are a lot of concepts in game to wrap your head around such as thugging and item creation, including the intimidating stats screen for a unit. But don't let it stop you, the game is complex, not complicated.
And if you don't want that just play Mictalin with a hellbless and go to town before you burn up as a glorious phoenix.
Go now my son, play Dominions, make mistakes, learn, and rise to become the true pantankoman!.
