DomiNation

Domination is a fantastic free Internet multiplayer area-control strategy game that offers up to eight players or bots the chance to compete against each other in a bid to control fictitious countries on a hex grid using dice-controlled army battles. The bot brains come with different strategies, so it's always a challenge to play against them.

Players who need to leave the game in the middle can be replaced by bots, or they can assume the role of a bot. This means that the game can continue regardless of whether or not players are present, which is a great feature that ensures a smooth uninterrupted gaming experience.

Nukes are available in the game at the channel moderator's option, which adds an extra level of excitement to the gameplay.

One of the strengths of this game is that it's part of the Synthetic Reality "Arcadia" family of games. With the integrated MIX server, players can add additional channels at will. Arcadia provides all the necessary networking support, in addition to text chat, voice chat, web browsing, and a parallel existence 'park' environment where players can enjoy serenity, duck-feeding, and paintball while waiting for other players to show up.

Arcadia also lets you create a personal identity, expose your current emotional state, and maintain a diary of other players you have met in the game, which makes for a more immersive and personalized gaming experience overall.

Overall, Domination is an enjoyable, fast-paced, and challenging game that offers various gaming options and features to keep players engaged for hours on end. Give it a try and see how well you can dominate the fictitious world on the hex grid!
