While I could never get into Dominions as a game, the concepts and lore included in the game is amazing. Sheep Mages are something you'd basically never find anywhere else, and that's a crime.

This is a result of the cowardice and weakness of modern people refusing to take seriously how seriously people took things like sheep. They hear "Iphiclus, rich in sheep," and think it comical. But Iphiclus is not comical. Nor is Jesus' role as shepherd, nor Hermes' role as god of shepherds, supposed to be seen as silly or funny. Sheep are serious business, they are the cornerstone of the economy of the world's largest land empire ever.

Dominions is, for all its goofiness, a game that comes out of a real sincere desire to take magical history and history of magic very seriously.

Anyway, I have played some Dominions and I know that I'd have to completely reformat everything about my life and personality to actually enjoy playing it, so I'm INCREDIBLY grateful for each and every SSLP.

I'm aware of the importance of herding and all that. I'm sorry if my post came off as mocking the setting, I just genuinely enjoy seeing deeper takes on magic and faith and how they interact with a world to produce unique history. I thought it was very cool and unique since you don't normally see people thinking about smaller things like this in favor of more generic wizard towers and whatnot. Again, my apologies.

I've been taking a look at some of the older Dominions games posted to this forum to get context for this one, and I'm very interested in the new cave layer. Is it really any good at all? It seems like another "well, there are two or three nations that want to be underwater and nobody else touches it" sort of deal.

Sometimes I wonder if there are any 'good guys' in Dominions. I mean obviously everybody's warring to be Top God, but everything I see is all "sacrificing virgins for demon power" and "summoning ten thousand skeletons For The Trees". Is there a single nation besides Man(which I've gathered is The Boring One) where people aren't just assholes?
