What are your top 5 games besides Dominion? Here's my list,

Heroes of might and magic I,II,III, Heroes IV and beyond are crap.
Might and Magic VI,VII,VIII
Orion II
Alpha Centauti
and maybe Lords of the Realms II or Age of Empires.

And the two most played would be Heroes III and Alpha Centauri.

P.S. If anyone has an image I could use for a Phoenix unit that would be nice, since I wanted to use the Phoenix from Heroes III and it can't be found on the forum for some reason.

My kids are nuts about HOMM3. Over the past year they have played it far more than the newer glossier titles. Even more than the Wii or PS3 stuff. Gets trickier to load with each computer iteration.

MOO2 is also a mainstay at our house.

For LAN play Supreme Commander is a riot. Even the wife joins in with the 3 of us boys against
computer teams.

CIV4 gets played WAN with our "big" kids in other states. Another good allied game.

For War games I still fire up the old SSI games in dosbox. Mainly War in Russia and Clash of Steel. Occasionally Carrier Strike. Funny to see the kids hovering over my shoulder when the torpedoes start dropping. Sub-VGA, crappy sound, but they are RIVETTED...
