Developed by the same Illwinter Games studio that created the original Dominions: Priest, Prophets and Pretenders, this sequel is designed to retain the empire-building, turn-based fantasy structure while adding polish and depth. Players become a lone god among a pantheon of deities, each vying to become the supreme ruler of them all. The game is designed with multiplayer competition in mind, and supports as many as 16 human opponents in a session, but artificial intelligence is intended to provide a worthy challenge for solo gamers as well. Dominions 2: Ascension Wars runs on Windows-, Linux-, Solaris-, or Mac OS-based systems, and is the first cross-platform release from independent PC game publisher Shrapnel. ~ T.J.
