Re: Semi OT: Strange Coincedence?
... And the concept of "awakening" was already present in "Mage: the Ascension", well before dom3 (probably even before dom2)
And yes as Endoperez says, Mage was first build with a backstory that followed in the present days that of Ars Magica (the last edition however, "Mage : the Awakening" as completly redone the universe, and started again without anymore reference to Ars Magica or other previous material)
Ars Magica, while not perfect, had an amazing system were the mage were at the same time the main characters (a same player could at the same time play the mage or one of his followers) and the basics of what was almost a strategy game : beetween adventures there were rules for what the mage did during each seasons : reasearch/invent new spells, use Virtus/Vis ("gems") to forge magic items or cast large rituals, empower the mage, etc ...
Dominions could have choosen a worst model ^_^
