	Games - Dominion

Dominion is a browser-based game, where players take control of a plot of land in a realm consisting of a group of up to 19 other players. With your dominion and allied players, you combat the forces of good or evil using your military, magic, or espionage resources.

Gameplay is divided into periods called "rounds"; each round officially lasts 50 days. Each time a round ends, a new one begins and it generally incorporates changes and tweaks to the game's features.

Dominion and Dominion: Liege Lord are created by Ross and operated by Kamikaze Games, Inc. Other people involved with the game's development include Green, storyline writer for classic Dominion.

Dominion: Liege Lord

Dominion: Liege Lord is a variant of the original Dominion game. While largely similar to Dominion, Dominion: Liege Lord features some differences in the game dynamics, mainly: the length of a round is twice as long (99 days), alliances replace realms, a bannerman referral system is utilised, and costs related to running a dominion are relatively more expensive.
