Description
Domination is a free and open-source game that replicates the experience of the classic board game Risk, offering a digital platform for strategic battles of world conquest. It was developed to be similar to Risk and RisiKo, with many gameplay options and maps.
Domination retains the strategic core of the original, but with adaptations for the digital environment. It is written in Java, running on any operating system that supports Java 1.5 or higher, and has a history of regular updates focused on accessibility improvements. The game is licensed under GPL, with complete source code available, promoting community development.
Main Features
Domination offers a variety of features that set it apart and enrich the gaming experience:
- Online and Multiplayer Gameplay: Supports private online games, allowing players to compete in real time against others from around the world.
- Map Editor: Includes a simple map editor, allowing players to create and customize maps, available on this page.
- Multiple User Interfaces: Offers five different interfaces, allowing players to choose the aesthetic they prefer.
- Varied Game Modes: Includes options such as the Italian mode, where defenders can roll up to three dice, differing from the standard Risk rules, which limit to two.
- Accessibility: Features like colorblind mode and font size adjustment ensure that the game is accessible to a diverse audience.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Domination reflects the essence of Risk, with players controlling armies to conquer territories with the aim of achieving global domination. Each turn includes:
- Reinforcement Phase: Players receive new armies based on the number of territories they control, plus bonuses for controlling entire continents.
- Attack Phase: Players can attack adjacent territories, resolving battles with dice rolls, where the number of dice depends on the number of armies (up to three for the attacker, up to two or three, depending on the mode, for the defender).
- Fortification Phase: After attacks, players can move armies between their territories, through adjacent paths, to strengthen defenses.
The game supports single-player modes, online multiplayer, and "hotseat," where multiple players can play on a single device.
