Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher. The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3000 units, 900 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them. It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep. Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

Any good tips on how to get that sweet early expansion going? Like even getting 12 provinces seems so tough is there a trick to people getting 15+ provinces?
Ian Wilson
Pick any nation with a good sacred and a strong bless, then you can just faceroll expansion. Leave big provinces and ones with unusual indies for later or until you can get multiple expansion parties attacking at once
Evan White
Play elves or take a woke bae.

What's best to use varies greatly by nation and bless vs scales, can't think of many general tips beyond bid mercs with excess gold and put cheap shit in front to catch lances if going vs heavy cav. What nation you using?
James Nelson
Depends entirely on what nation you play and what scales/bless you're using. Some nations can easily get 20+ provinces with the right bless, while others require some effort to even get to 12 without taking an awake expander for your pretender. And no matter what you do, sometimes you just get screwed by the map layout, what indie types there are near you, and in what direction your neighbours are expanding.
Jose Williams
Is indie strength tied to the province's income/resources? I thought it was but I'm running into shit like a wasteland prov with 50-70 barbs
Hudson Sanchez
It's not, barring specific poptypes, thrones and sites.

Well, I'm about to get murdered in MP for the first time. Wish me luck.

In particular I guess my recent interest would be making the monkey nations work but the markata garbage you get does dick for damage even on the tiny chance they don't just run away.
