Illwinter has brought Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension to Steam for Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. It costs US$34.99.
Already the best selling Dominions game in the 15-year-old franchise, Dominions 4 brings the race to ascend to godhood to a new level of depth by adding capture objectives, co-op mode, more units, more spells, and more gods to the already overflowing level of detail that Dominions is famous for, according the folks at Illwinter.

Here’s how the game is described: “Dominions 4 is divided into three playable eras, early, middle, and late. Each era has different, yet connected, nations. Every nation has a variety of historical or mythological troops that are connected to real world history and mythos as well as various other benefits or detriments. Upon selecting a new nation you will also be given an option of would-be gods to select.
“Every god is radically different with different mythos, stats, powers, and magic and can be massively customized to fit your nation or strategic plan. Perhaps you wish to create a hulking Cyclops with rock like skin and the proper magic to forge super powerful magical items, sending your god to the front lines and obliterate your foes. Perhaps, instead, you would create a physically frail Phoenix, instead using your magical fire affinity to rain destruction across the battlefield as well as through global enchantment without a care in the world if he dies, for if a Phoenix dies in your domain it is instantly reborn at your capital.
“Or stranger still, to create a god that summons monsters every turn like Pan and focus instead on leaving him in the safety of your capital summoning creatures from mythology to do his bidding alongside the regular national troops. There are millions of possible combinations to choose from.”
