You're a god, but you're not the supreme god, and well, you sure in Vahalla want to be the big cheese in the sky. So what's a god to do? Send in the Krishnas? Direct mailers? No, you raise up some armies and start kicking the other gods arses until you're king of the hill. Of course doing such entails more than sending a stack over to your opponent to call down the pain on his warriors' heads.<br> In Dominions 2 players will raise armies, hire mercenaries, lay siege to strongholds, forge mystical items, pray for guidance, hunt down blood sacrifices, assassinate enemy leaders, cast spells, watch as heroes become known across the lands, reanimate corpses, cause an uprising, construct buildings, and much, much more. And all this before you break your fast! Definitely one of the most engrossing strategy games of 2003, if you can think it you can probably do it in Dominions 2."</i> </blockquote> <br> Publisher: <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/illwinter/d2/">Shrapnel Games</a> (screenshots & info)<br> Developer: <a href="http://www.illwinter.com/index.html">Illwinter Design</a> | "Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars" coming soon | default | |

The game is designed to take advantage of the beautiful environments available from the Torque engine it is based on while still offering the breakneck pacing and variety of styles available from such classics as Quake and Tribes.<p> Gameplay is not the strafe-strafe-jump-strafe-shoot-strafe-run-like-hell style a lot of games espouse; the addition of a jetpack adds a third dimension of mobility that makes skill, forethought, and restraint necessities to winning.<p> Team sizes are going to be ideal between 10 and 15 on each side, and the network code will allow anyone with any bandwidth to play relatively smoothly. Game type offerings will range from the classic Capture the Flag to our own new type, affectionately called "Knockout".<p> Plenty of maps will be provided by us, but the beauty of this game is its customization possibilities. Mission creation has never been easier, with a stable, full-featured editor integrated into the game engine itself. Skins, models, and effects can all be modified by the end-user with commonly available tools. | Legends 0.2.2 Beta | new | Legends |

With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle.<p><b>Editor's note:</b><br>The availability of Savage had been announced <a href="http://happypenguin.org/newsitem?id=4002">here</a> before. However, the game had not been available to end users, that's why we did not add it to the database back then. | Savage: The Battle for Newerth | new | Savage: The Battle for Newerth |
