Dominions 3: Ages of Faith — My understanding is that Dom3 will replace national themes with eras for all players in a game. "Ages of Faith" is a play on "the Age of Faith," a common label for the Middle Ages.

That's a seriously good one.

From a chat on #SpaceEmpires yesterday regarding subtitles for SE games:

[15:37] DavidGervais: "SE6: Return of the Avatar" hmmm.

I don't see why you couldn't use that one for Dom3...

Hmm. As i recall aristotle said something to the effect of "the gods too are fond of a joke"
Seems like a good endorsement, as long as the prospective audience was reasopnably intelligant.

or you could use Homer: "All men have need of the gods."
so too have we need of dominions.

And one last thing-
I am 14 yrs old. I am Canadian.
I have encountered people from India, England, Germany, Sweden, Iceland, South Africa, Australia, the United States, Mexico. Playing Dominions. People that are 12 years old, people that are 60 years old. People that do not speak English, and often cannot grasp the word umbrella. They are united by this game. They universally recognize "Nagot gick fel". This is something to transcend the boundaries of time and space, as only a God might do.

Praise be to Illwinter.
(and feel free to send a free copy of Dom3 to this person. Thanks.)

Let's see:

Dominions 3: The Mandate of Heaven - Taken from the Chinese concept, obviously. It's appropriate, since, unlike Divine Right, it can legitimise revolution, struggle and war. An Asian concept is also nice, since Dom 3 will have more nations inspired by Asian cultures.

Dominions 3: Sorcery and Steel - If national units are more useful versus magic, then this title might be suitable. Sorcery technically refers to only half of the Dominions magic schools, but it just sounds cool. 'Steel' could refer to the elemental magics as well, I suppose.

Deus/Dei in machino
-god/s in a machine


While grammatically more correct, less known, and would be confusing and perhaps not as easily recognized for what it represents.

Deus/Dei ex machina
-god/s from a machine


Of these, Deus ex machina is very well known, perhaps too much so. Because of that, I offer to you:

Dominions III: Dei ex Machina
