Guide: How to get into the victorious nations/hall of honor

[Omnirizon]

Dominions, as we all know, is a game of both skill and luck. One needs to be intimately familiar with the ways in which combat dynamics work out, how given units can be used, tricks available, what tricks to expect, and to have some feel and intuition for what other players are thinking. However, one is also at the mercy of the RNG. bad luck events on the first turn can kill a game, inopportune barbarian attacks, bad luck rolls in combat, zigging when one should have zagged, or simply having the political dynamics, political-geography, and who chooses to go to war with whom not working out in your favor.

So how to become a good dominions player and get to the hall of fame?

Simple. It is the Law of Large Numbers.

All you have to do is enroll in as many games as possible. You will get better at Dominions because you are playing lots of games, and you will eventually have the balls bounce your way, since you are just in lots of games

Often this will mean that you can't give adequate attention to games like you should. That's OK. You can wait until the last minute to get turns in. Also, determine where you can consistently be late with turns, and just do that. You can take advantage of the fact that turning a nation to AI can wreak havoc to a game. Even if you are a deadbeat when it comes to getting your turns in, no one will really do much about it because the alternative is worse.

So who cares about other players enjoyment of the game? Enroll in 10, 20, even more games, and let the Law of Large Numbers work for you!
