Domination is a free Internet multiplayer area-control strategy game where up to eight players or bots compete to control fictitious countries on a hex grid using dice-controlled army battles. Bot brains come with different strategies. Players can be replaced by bots, or assume a bot s role, so the game can continue even if players leave in the middle. Nukes are available at the channel moderator s option.
