Expect to have your article axed soon. It's quite subjective with sentences like:
Another notable feature of Dominions II is the rich atmosphere of the written descriptions for each unit, spell, artifact and nation. Unlike other games of this genre, Dominions is based on an impressive variety of traditional or historical myths - and not just Orcs & Elves.

Lots of biased opinions. Wikipedia ends with -pedia.
Acutally, this information is neither subjective, not based on some writers opinion, but on facts stated by the developers: They have based their nations on existing/historical ones and, especially where magic and magical creatures are concerned, well-documented myths and folk lore.

I even would move that info from being buried in the paragraph "special features" into "type of game" right after the mentioning of a "fantasy world": IMHO it makes Dominions very different from all those mainstream games.
