• Three different eras: Early Magical Era, Middle Era, and Late Era. The Early Magical Era boasts many new nations, the Middle Era features most of the nations from Dominions 2, and the Late Era features an emphasis on more conventional warfare and less magic.
  
• Fifty different playable nations. Some of the new nations include Ermor, New Faith, based on the early Republic of Rome. Marverni, inspired by Gallic tribes. Kailasa, Rise of the Ape Kings, inspired from Indian and Hindu mythology. Jomon, Human Daimyos, born from ancient Japan.

  the learning curve.

• Random map creation.
  
• Players can design and save gods for later play.
  
• Map filters now allow players to easily locate scouts.

• Rebalanced rates for income, supply, and resources enable larger conventional armies. 
  
• 1500+ units to wage war with. A deep combat model encompasses everything from battlefield morale to the use of magic.

• Much more powerful modding capabilities. 
  
• Make and remake nations as you see fit!

• Choose if your pretending god is dormant or awake when the game begins.
  
• A 300 page printed manual that will remind you of the early days of computer gaming.  The manual is more of a reference guide that includes a play-along tutorial, spells reference, nations info and so much more.  
  
• New music from Erik Ask Uppmark and Anna Rynefors, the duo behind Dominion 2's lilting musical score.
  
• Taxes and unrest automatically checked through the autotax function, streamlining play.
