    This game does very little to differentiate itself from other games in the genre. The first 5 Ages are enjoyable, but afterwards the time investment becomes too great. Wait times for upgrades start creeping into days and weeks, and defenses are far too strong. What bugs me about this game is how little effort the developers put in to improving upon the genre.

Wait times for upgrades start creeping into days and weeks, and defenses are far too strong. What bugs me about this game is how little effort the developers put in to improving upon the genre. The only good decision they made was allowing you to keep units that survive battles. This becomes less important later on since defenses in the later game become too powerful and the AI is too stupid to use specialized units effectively. Units like the Cannon, which claim to target the nearest building, will sometimes walk into firing range of the nearest defensive structure while trying to hit another target farther away. To effectively collect resources at the later game, you have to use small numbers of units to pick off unprotected resources. Full scale invasions become too impractical.… Expand

    Dominations is a good concept, and I like the gameplay. However, there are a lot of flaws that need to be fixed.

    First, this game is too p2w. Adding Bjorn Ironside, which is a general exclusive to money spenders, and VIP, an entire aspect for money spenders, makes the game too p2w. Not to mention they keep on bugging me to buy their stuff. Also, the events are bugging you to buy the    Dominations is a good concept, and I like the gameplay.

Not to mention they keep on bugging me to buy their stuff. Also, the events are bugging you to buy the event pass, which gives many buyers unfair advantages towards free players.

    Second, the gameplay, even though I actually like it, is too similar to other games around civilization-building. Enough said.

    Multiplayer hasn't been working out for me either. I usually get people way above my age (Medieval), sometimes even Digital Age. Not just that, the bases I get have way more medals than I do too. And the bases my level give 1-2 medals each. I'm Silver III.

    Lastly, I get plundered 2-3 times daily so I barely get income to even upgrade a single wall. My walls are level 6, which some are level 7. Yet gunpowder age players (the majority that attacks me) have wall miners that can one-shot level 7 walls. I'm only level 77. It's also really hard to get a wall blessing. Sending an expedition to Constantinople is the only way for me to get a wall blessing, yet it's so rare and time-consuming.

    Therefore, Dominations has a lot of room to improve, with some benefits too.    … Expand

    DomiNations combines many popular strategy games, and mostly succeeds.

    If you’ve been itching for something like Clash of Clans. but with a little more meat on its bones, this is it.

    The drop off in pace from Iron Age to Classical Age was too sharp as it felt like I'd suddenly run out of things to do, but otherwise this is a solid game with exceptionally high production values and a fair free-to-play system.
