I know what Dominions II is. Probably everyone on this board knows. But if you were asked this question, what would you answer?
I browsed the forums of Home of the Underdogs and someone was asking for the name of this game which had 'realms like lizards and afrikaans and rome' and in which you had 'idol' and magic and things...
He got his answer, but I would have wanted to send there a short reply telling what Dominions II was. I wasn't able to register in the site, however. HotU have heavy traffic, and I were too impatient to wait.
Know that I have though of it I have realised that I couldn't have given a good answer. Dominions II *does* look like a mix of Risk and Chess and Master of Magic, but it is more. Master of Magic played made for Risk instead of Civilization comes closer, but is still far as only the look of maps comes from Risk. This is the best I can manage:
Chess with 17 sides as different as those in MoM and played on a Risk board is about as good as I can manage.
What is your try?
