Are you a Psychics by chance? I planned on making a subject on that very subject just a few hours ago.
So, here is my thoughs on this game: an impressive spell list, a very interesting aspect of having a Pretender to the status of God, Pretender who has special abilities on its own, but there are a few things which bothers me.
1) Virtually no building to... erh... build. There are only forts, temples and special buildings you can come across in some provinces. This aspect is truly missing when you have played SE:IV just before.
2) The combats are automatically resolved, which isn't really a problem if there was more decisions to make with regards to building. (Like in SE:IV) I find the game to become almost boring as there is little variety in the game after that. These would be my main complains about Dominions, which is really enjoyable if these two aspects aren't an annoyance for you.
(And if you can cope with very outdated graphisms that is)
Just my two mineral cents worth.
