Dominium

Dominium description

Very interesting historic real-time strategy.

The action takes place in the distant future colonized by humans in the star system of Dominium. After a lot of wars most of mankind refused to war, but one of the barons has not followed this decision. Forgot about it, and of the troops had left only a few types of units and established the post of military observer, who was sent to the region system in which possible danger. You're in the game just act as such an observer, called Selene, ruler of one of the regions, territories which threaten the Baron. Realizing that this was serious, you decide to revive this sector, the armed forces and give the enemy a fitting rebuff.

The playing field is divided into hexes (hexagons). Available for inspection only that part of it where our troops or buildings - the rest is hidden by the "fog of war". To create units you must dig for gold and energy, as well as all of our units – entirely technique, they need fuel.

Move units occur in real time (you just need to select the machine and click on the cell where we want to move), but with every movement the fuel is consumed. Units of eight types, and each type has eight characteristics (speed, armor, power shots and so on). From these characteristics determine the cost of production of a specific unit, the game allows them to increase or decrease. It should immediately be noted that some tactics, diplomacy and the other's not there, you just need to try to crush the enemy's number and strength.

Graphics are nice, the prospect of an isometric overview. The landscape is, surprisingly, not uniform, and there are stones, and lakes, and much more. Verdict – pleasing strategy, suitable for most of the game "just because" than for hard brain work. If you recognize such a strategy should be like, and very much so.
