Great game, awful name/branding

But the game isn't available in shops, nor is it even boxed, so what's the point ?
Unless I've missed some distro agreement between Shrapnel and someone else ??

Dom:PPP (Dominions 1) had box art with a painting of a man looking down to a world, but it was so small one coulnd't really make it out. The box art could be improved a lot. The blue something doesn't even look like fantasy. Classic 'gods playing chess with creatures magic and mortal' would work much better, and almost anything else that would show up the tremenduos amount of everything in this game would work well, too.

I have known of Dominions games for a long time, from the times of Bogus Game Design, and I have noticed some other games with names similar enough to be mistaken. Unfortunately, these other games are better-known than Dominions. Especially the online game Dominions comes quite close to the description if one doesn't really know what he is looking for. However, the name suits the game and I have grown very fond of it.

I have to say, for a long time I thought references to Dominions on c.s.i.p.g.strategic were to "Dominions: Storm Over Gift", which I think is an RTS title, and Dominions II was a sequel to that. So I also ignored it for a year or more.

If Illwinter want to leap forward in terms of online-only market reach, they could do worse than study GalCiv. Say what you like about the game (and I'm ambivalent), the online marketing was very good. I knew what it was and why I might want it well before I got it.

That game was Dominion: Storm Over Gift. Not Dominions. Still, it is too close...

Was D:SOG the RTS with the biological units or am I thinking about something else?
