Dominions 3: The Awakening is the sequel to Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars. In the game, players are tasked with ascending to godhood using all the power at their disposal. In a world of magic and steel, you can use military might, eldritch power, or subterfuge (or, more likely, a combination of all three) to achieve your goal. Upon embarking on your journey to become a god, you will have to recruit troops (more than 1,500 units are available), assassinate the enemy, scout territory, research magic (600+ spells and 300+ magic items), perform rituals, do a blood hunt, storm a castle, construct, pray, forge and more.

Dominions 3: The Awakening has been designed with mod-making in mind. Any image can be turned into a map, while players can even use their favorite Dominions 2 maps with the new game.
