I remember this was the first RTS game I ever played. It was a cold wintery Christmas, and my cousins showed me this game after we opened presents on my grandma's computer. The wintery ambient sounds went right with the view outside. The atmosphere was amazing, a desolate land with a small expeditionary force fighting on a remote backwater planet boasting an incredible technology. It is possible that to this day, I have never heard a better game sound track than from this game, the ambient and the active music were amazing. Similarly, even though the 4 playable races were relatively similar the gameplay was fast and intense. The economy was simple; refineries built on energy wells and a power grid to manage building placement, it left your primary focus on unit control, finding and securing additional resources, and base defenses. That's not to say you could forget about the resource management, resources were tight enough that you had to be sure what units and upgrades you choose. The units had many more options like going prone, scattering, auto recon, that no other game of its class had to my knowledge, far ahead of its time. I think this was originally released as a competitor to Star Craft and Tiberian Sun, it was delayed heavily by the original company being bought up and that combined with poor advertising left this as a forgotten gem. I still have the original box, that opened like aboard game and came with a comic about humans fighting to survive in the universe. One of my favorite games for sure.
This was my first RTS experience in my childhood, not Command and Conquer or Starcraft like for most my age. Fun and simple were the order of the day and this game did not disappoint in that aspect. It was perfect for a total RTS amateur or novice to grasp the basics of RTS combat. Once Starcraft came out I was wiping the floor with my friends over BattleNet because I had built up a lot of experience playing this game in particular. Bring it back in a remaster like CnC, please. Not a remake or re-release, but remaster this game's graphics, fix the very few bugs that it had and give it a good strong updated UI that is simple and uncomplicated. A winning formula, keeping it simple is. 'Nuff Yoda wisdom, bring it back, 'nuff said.
Dominion: SOG3 is at the top of my shortlist of childhood favorites! Some of my greatest middle school friendships were formed over the love of this game. Sure, we played all the awesome classics like the C&C series, Age of Empires, Warcraft, Dune II & 2000, Dark Reign, StarCraft, Total Annihilation, etc... but something about this game was magical. The umbilical system for base building was a fun nuance to me and it's the first time that I really came to appreciate the tactical value of cheap and plentiful vs expensive and durable faction units. The game play was fun and just the right amount of challenging for a pre-teen. It's a good example of a mid to late 1990's RTS with the typical formula: build your base, repel enemy incursions, amass your forces, and steamroll their base (simple, the way I like it). On a personal note- I enjoyed the soundtrack, which, oddly enough, reminds me of my favorite childhood dog. She was sick one day and resting on the couch while I was playing this game. At some point, I paused the game, sat down with her on the couch and comforted her for a while as the music played in the background. As a child absorbed in my own world, it's the first time that I remember being completely focused on caring for another and this soundtrack cements that wonderful memory. It warms my heart to know that this game has touched other lives and left lasting, joyful memories. Bringing this game back would be nothing short of a public service and should be part of every young RTS lover's "basic training". I've only written a handful of reviews in my entire life and I am thankful to have the opportunity to write this one. Please bring this game back, GOG!
I just have to say Yes pleas bring this one to GoG it been over 26 years seen I play this and to be honest 4got all about it. Now seeing this and the hope of playing it again just overwhelms me.
I remember now it has 4 army's and all have some special strength and weakness. I was 12 at the time I try to play it was not easy with epilepsy thankfully my older brothers play it with me. This game lead me to War/starcraft, C&C and others. A BLAST from the PAST love to play it again.
literally one of the best childhood games...bring it back, used to crave and look forward to playing this game....such a good game. make it happen team gog, fast
One of my favourite RTS games growing up. Used to play it on my old windows 98, spent hours on this. It's crazy to me how unknown this game is considering how much it could hang with the other popular titles at the time. Many summers well spent hammering out game after game on this. It's got mech walkers what more do you need?!
I was honestly surpirsed this wasn't already on GoG before now so hopefully that will change.
This was my first real RTS game. It was horribly under appreciated and I miss playing it so much. Would love the chance to play it again. including playing multiplayer online. The whole vibe and music score was really something new and brilliant. Its a shame the company went belly up shortly after
