(I am an author of this game. I am not a shill, game is 100% free, there is no premium content, full game is avalaible without paying - this is work of passion and feedback is my main motivation).

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strateg/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new.

Game is avalaible for free, online: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion

I am constantly improving the game, adding new content and mechanics, so Your feedback would matter.

If you are hesitant to play the game, I invite you to watch/listen to the reviews:

I've played through a couple times, haven't won yet but I'm having fun!

On my last attempt, at the end, my troop size just before the final battle was (a lot) less than my number of troops:

Is that a bug?

[–] Adeptus@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is definitely a bug. Thank You very much for mentioning it, I will try find a reason of it. Can You describe what happened directly before it? I guess You was in the Kingdom of Elces, what happened there?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I went Humans, then Elves, then Dwarves.

At the human kingdom, I had to assault the keep, and I chose to have my dwarves undermine the walls. This resulted in the loss of some dwarves. I don't remember if this was reflected in the counts. Then I fought a battle against the human army in the field, and was asked which of my forces suffered the greatest losses. I chose greenskins, and the count dropped from 9 units of greenskins to 6.

At the elven kingdom... I've played several times now, but I think on that occasion the elf queen surrendered to me without a battle, and then I forced her to declare her loyalty publicly and give me some of her army, which she accepted.

Then this was my status going into the dwarf fight, and I lost.

I think I managed to find source of the problem. Thank You very much. Do You want to be included in the "thank you" section, if yes, than how?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can include me as ryven. Happy to help! ^^ And thanks for making the game!
