Super, awesome developers! It's 2011 and they're still doing content-rich patches. Let's see one of those fly-by-night app developers do this.
Content, content, content. There is so much gameplay here that you would need some way to control the space-time continuum to experience it all.
Reigning multiplayer action. A strategy game that supports up to twenty-one players with a thriving multi-player community a forum click away. Who needs real life friends when you have this kind of MP gaming?
Not tested on animals in laboratories. Other games may subject small animals to inhumane procedures, but not Dominions 3. Animal friendly!
