I think the game is the second best I've ever played, next to Zangband which holds a special place in my heart. Anyhow, I'd thought I'd see if anyone else has the same reaction to this game that I have had.

Ever tried nethack (another roguelike)? It has been a source of inspiration. |

Nethack has been a constant companion of mine for years now. I'm still trying to ascend a strictly-played Monk after all this time...

Fun, when I describe Dominions to someone else, I always say it's the Nethack of strategy games. Though I personally prefer ADOM (and was astonished when I found the link on Illwinter's old website).

Re: How the heck . . .
Want to hear something really freaky? After reading this thread yesterday, I went surfing the 'net checking out NetHack, Adom, etc... Ended up downloading Slash'em. I start the game, create an Elf Ranger of neutral alignment, and I get an "Intro Message" something like this: "After the Creation, the cruel god Moloch rebelled against the authority of Marduk the Creator".
The strength of the Moloch Effect grows stronger...

Moloch is the name of a Caananite god. The name MLK - Malek/Moloch/Melek (perhaps Melkor) means lord and is a common in semitic religious traditions. |
