The Old God has left the world and the pretenders are awakening and coming out from hiding. You start the game by designing one of the pretender gods that will compete for true ascension to godhood. The type of god can range from a magically powerful arch mage to an ancient kraken or a mystic monolith that people pray to. Your pretender controls one of over sixty different nations and with the help of that nation he will spread his word and battle the other pretenders. Dominions 3 is a turn based strategy game. You can play single- or multiplayer (1 - 23 players) with simultaneous turns. There are more than 1500 different units, 600 spells and 300 magic items in the game. The game also features a medieval musical score by Erik Ask Uppmark and Anna Rynefors, both awarded the title of Musicians of the Realm by the Swedish Zornmärkeskommiten. Dominions 3 is a highly detailed game and a 300 page pdf manual is included in the download.

This is an Early Age mod nation, based on the Lunar Empire from the Glorantha fantasy setting (used in Runequest and Heroquest RPGs).

The Lunar Empire is a Bronze Age nation with military forces reminiscent of ancient Greece. The Empire was founded by it's patron Goddess, who then left the world- taking a large chunk of the world with her- to be the Goddess of the Red Moon. Hence the empire is referred to as the 'Lunar Empire'

Magically it should be quite capable, with the Priestesses, High Priestesses and Red Moon Adepts are the mainstay magicians, while the Riddle Mages (supposed to represent Nysalor cultists) and Blue Moon Adepts are primarily for diversity.

Top row are recruitable troops, second row are recruitable commanders, rest of the sprites aren't in mod yet (large red bat may or may not make final cut).

Any resemblance color-wise to Executor's Archons mod is happenstance, Lunar troops wear Bronze armor and wear a lot of red stuff because they serve the Red Moon goddess.

current version is 0.31 sprites now reflect the curvi-ness of the scimitars and moonblades used by recruitable troops.

0.3 added 3 heroes, made changes to General
(commander) and Penitent (troop), changed sprites of Penitent and
Slinger so they are bare-legged (like Auxiliary and Peltast). Equipped
some units with scimitars, but sprites do not yet reflect that they are
using weapons with curved blades.

0.2, added a recruitable troop, Penitents (arrow fodder), and some spells. Minor changes to some sprites.
