What other games complement your Dominions 3?

[Tifone]

Well it doesn't complement my games, as it isn't mine, lol but a friend of mine has bought the game Armageddon Empires, I gave it a couple of tries and seemed quite nice, despite the interface being TOTALLY non-user friendly (looks like there's a ton of rules which will modify the att and def stats of your units, from terrain to infantry to fortresses, ad many other things like chance of heroes being captured and killed etc. etc. and NONE of those rules are listed on screen but just on the manual).
It was funny, though having in one game my base nuclearized on turn 9 or 10 by some aliens' aircraft with no clue on how they managed to score such a shot so early...

Has any of you guys tried the game? Is it worth buying?

Yes, it is great. It's single player only but the AI is good and does not cheat.

I love the deck building part, the four factions are really different and there are many ways to victory : you can deploy big armies and crush the enemy or use sabotage and win without a single battle. After a couple of games, you should try with the cults of the wasteland which is a great add on.

However, as there are only four factions in Armageddon Empires, you can find it too short. But it's a good game and the art is great :

Yeah, I second this, Armageddon Empires is a fun game, it's too bad there isn't a MP component. That game would gain an immense amount of replayability past the "ok, I figured out how the AI thinks" point that way and just screams for MP. Still, I got my money's worth out of it, mostly just lamenting the potential I see there. I'm gonna have to go pick it back up and play some more.

Loved the theme and I messed around with the demo but seemed like it really needed an Auto-resolve for some of those minor combats. Eventually I got tired of clicking and figured I wouldn’t enjoy the game
