Who hear has read the erfworld webcomic? I found there was a lot of parallel to the webcomic and this dominons game. Reading it, was partly responsible for inspiring me to start playing dominions again.
It takes place in an alternate world, that behaves similar to a turn based strategy game. It is a world that is a constant state of warfare, distance is measured in hexes, units just got popped out of nowhere (children don't exist), everyone fully heals at the begining of their turn, food and supplies just pop out of nowhere, no one but the warlords have free will, only one side of a conflict at a time can do their move (the other sides must stay in their hex), etc. Erfworlders all find this way of life perfectly normal.
The story revolves around a character called Parson who is pulled from our world into this one. He is forced into being a chief warlord in the losing side of a conflict. He then proceeds to take advantage, and exploit the rules of erfworld to his advantage. But I am sure a domions player woudn't know about exploiting rules. That would be bad.
It is a very interesting read. It starts off a little silly, with a lot of bad puns. But it gets quite deep and interesting.
