Re: Titles and Phrases for Dominions_3
Hmm. As i recall aristotle said something to the effect of "the gods too are fond of a joke"
Seems like a good endorsement, as long as the prospective audience was reasopnably intelligant.
or you could use Homer: "All men have need of the gods."
so too have we need of dominions.
And one last thing-
I am 14 yrs old. I am Canadian.
I have encountered people from India, England, Germany, Sweden, Iceland, South Africa, Australia, the United States, Mexico. Playing Dominions. People that are 12 years old, people that are 60 years old. People that do not speak English, and often cannot grasp the word umbrella. They are united by this game. They universally recognize "Nagot gick fel". This is something to transcend the boundaries of time and space, as only a God might do.
Praise be to Illwinter.
(and feel free to send a free copy of Dom3 to this person. Thanks.)

Re: Titles and Phrases for Dominions_3
Let's see:
Dominions 3: The Mandate of Heaven - Taken from the Chinese concept, obviously. It's appropriate, since, unlike Divine Right, it can legitimise revolution, struggle and war. An Asian concept is also nice, since Dom 3 will have more nations inspired by Asian cultures.
Dominions 3: Sorcery and Steel - If national units are more useful versus magic, then this title might be suitable. Sorcery technically refers to only half of the Dominions magic schools, but it just sounds cool. 'Steel' could refer to the elemental magics as well, I suppose.

Re: Titles and Phrases for Dominions_3
Deus/Dei in machino
-god/s in a machine
While grammatically more correct, less known, and would be confusing and perhaps not as easily recognized for what it represents.
Deus/Dei ex machina
-god/s from a machine
Of these, Deus ex machina is very well known, perhaps too much so. Because of that, I offer to you:
Dominions III: Dei ex Machina

Re: Titles and Phrases for Dominions_3
A handful, just for pun:
Dominions III: Cry Havoc! (and let slip the gods of war.)
Dominions III: Even holier than Two
Dominions III: True God-moding
Dominions III: The Game of Artemis
Dominions III: Numero deii impare gaudet.

Re: Titles and Phrases for Dominions_3
Dominions III: Blood and Candles
(Sounds occult, and those are crucial elements of dominion spread. This title would attract goth gamers)
Dominions 3 Arena
(people love buying games with the "Arena" suffix, and there IS an arena...
Dominions 3: And Then There Were None
(A nod to Agatha Christie, in reference to the constantly falling population  Alternately, "And Then There Was One" would refer to pretenders)
Dominions III: The Divine Invasion
(A nod to Philip K Dick. Could refer to pretenders invading the indy lands, or the game could include a new concept, like the Antarans in MOO2. The God who created the world left millenia ago, for reasons unknown. Returning to examine his creation, he is angered to see his children playing at God, and invades with hosts of angels and the souls of the dead to clear the world of false idols. This would occur randomly, in the late game.)
Dominions III: Angels and Demons
(Grab a license from Dan Brown, and watch your sales increase by a factor of 1000...)
Dominions III: Return of the Yeti
(Make a new race of Yeti. With lightsabers.)

The little banes and wights with their bane blades already look like Darth Vaders with green lightsabers, so DomII is actually already halfway there...

Dominions 3: Ages of Faith � My understanding is that Dom3 will replace national themes with eras for all players in a game. "Ages of Faith" is a play on "the Age of Faith," a common label for the Middle Ages.

That is good. The actual name may be close to this one.

That would be fun.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!
Dominions 3: Guided by Visions
Optional story elements that play for each race similar to SMAC (alpha centuari) They could be explained by "prohpetic visions", or something.
Dominions 3: Between Flesh and Divine
This is ofcourse describing the Illwinter team, the demi-gods that they are, for making such a grand series.
