The core of Dominions 6's gameplay revolves around players building and commanding powerful nations and gods in a quest for divine supremacy. You must carefully manage and expand your dominion, recruit diverse armies, research arcane magic, and engage in strategic military campaigns to defeat rival pretenders.

❤ Customizable Factions and Deities

One of the standout features is the game's expansive variety of playable factions. You can choose from over 30 diverse nations across three different eras, ranging from the ancient Atlanteans to mythical creatures like the Vanir. Each faction offers unique units, magic, and playstyles, allowing for countless strategic possibilities. Equally important is creating your own Pretender God - a powerful supernatural being that confers significant advantages and abilities to your chosen nation.

❤ Expansive Magic System

The magic system in Dominions 6 is widely praised as one of the deepest and most intricate in any strategy game. You have access to numerous schools of magic, including the new Glamour domain, allowing for the casting of a staggering array of spells and abilities. These range from powerful battlefield effects to summoning fantastical creatures, cursing enemies, and crafting legendary magical items. Mastering the nuances of magic is crucial to achieving victory.

❤ Tactical Battles and Unit Customization

While the strategic layer is exceptionally deep, the game's combat system is also highly engaging. You'll field diverse armies composed of various unit types, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and specialized abilities. Positioning, formation, and the judicious use of magic are key to emerging victorious in the large-scale battles. You can also customize and equip your commanders and sacred units, further enhancing their effectiveness.

❤ Emergent Narratives

A major draw of Dominions 6 is the way it encourages the emergence of unique narratives and stories during each playthrough. The combination of varied factions, customizable deities, and unpredictable magical effects creates a constant sense of discovery and surprise. You'll find yourself caught up in epic struggles, forging alliances, betraying rivals, and witnessing the rise and fall of your own pantheons of gods.

The game also features robust multiplayer support, allowing for both synchronous and asynchronous gameplay. The turn-based nature and ability to save and resume games makes it well-suited for play-by-email or forum-based formats, where players can take their turns at their own pace. This, combined with the official multiplayer lobby, helps foster a dedicated and active online community.
