* HealingMagicIsTheHardest: Fixing up flesh wounds is simple for Nature mages, as long as certain organs aren't mulched, and Astral mages can also do some healing; mages in both paths are even better. Curing an IncurableCoughOfDeath, however, often requires a master of Nature magic and a mountain of nature gems. There are some gifted Nature mages, [[FairyGodmother fay beings]], and Pretender gods who can do it for free, but then there's the task of fixing structural harm to the body; that requires an act of god, if you don't live in Hinnom, Gath, or Arcoscephale...

''Dominions'' is a turn-based game on the continental scale, but a very extreme form of simultaneous resolution for tactical battles: You aren't actually allowed to give any orders when battle (and sometimes hilarity) ensues. Instead, you can only give standing formation and conditional tactics orders to a unit of soldiers in the strategic view, then sit back and hope for the best whenever they come into contact with the enemy. This allows the game to be played by email, or over longer periods of Real Life time.

However, one big difference is that these cultures are not necessarily human; both the Norse and the Canaanite cultures, for example, are giant races (at least until Late Age, where both cultures are mostly composed of assimilated humans).

** The human nation state of Arcoscephale is based on Ancient Greece, adding elements of Macedon in the Middle and Late Ages.
** Atlantis start as generic frog-people from the crevices of the ocean, but in later ages take on a fantasy Inuit feel.
** Berytos is an expy of Carthage and Phoenicia, complete with a dark-skinned ruling class and war elephants as their ultimate unit.
** Caelum has a strong Zoroastrian and Persian influence.
** C'tis is an ancient kingdom with an epic history spanning back millennia, populated by LizardFolk, that takes cues from Ancient Egypt and Babylon.
** Ermor is an vast cosmopolitan empire with legions of Hastati, Triarii and Principes, united in the worship of a benevolent healer prophet who sacrificed themselves and came BackFromTheDead -- a dead ringer for the Roman Empire. When their obsession with {{Necromanc|er}}y [[GoneHorriblyWrong goes horribly wrong]], Ermor goes from a magnificent empire envied of the world to a barren wasteland of undead {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s, mirroring the Fall of the Western Roman Empire (though of course not even the real Rome imploded quite so spectacularly as Ermor did).
** Hinnom[=/=]Ashdod[=/=]Gath is Ancient Canaan and the Biblical Israelites.
** Ind has strong Indian influences in its palace courts culture and names, but interestingly it also has strong Central Asian influences, borrowing elements of the Khwarazmian Empire (a medieval empire centered on modern Iraq that was completely destroyed by the Mongols).
** Kailasa[=/=]Bandar Log[=/=]Patala is another Indian-inspired civilisation, but one that borrows exclusively from Vedic and Indo-European mythology.
** Machaka borrows from ancient African cultures, and by the fourth game is an expy for the Zulu empire.
** Marignon is medieval western Europe, specifically the kingdoms of Spain and France.
** Marverni are essentially magical Gauls with a strong druidic tradition like the ancient Britons.
** The kingdom of Man is medieval Britain, blending the English, Celtic and [[Myth/KingArthur Arthurian]] influences together.
** Mekone is an expy of ancient Sparta, and also a nod to the story of the Greek Titans -- it is a kingdom of deformed and militaristic giants who rule over an underclass of human slaves, leading a [[RageAgainstTheHeavens divine war against the gods who defeated them long ago]].
** Mictlan is the Aztecs.
** Nazca is the Inca empire with WingedHumanoid people and a ruling caste of mummified undead kings and queens.
** Pyrène borrows a lot from Basque mythology, but there are also elements of prehistoric humans too. Middle Pyrène is a lot more Spanish in flavor.
** Pythium is the Byzantine empire in early ages, but interestingly the later ages add a dash of pre-Christian Rome.
** Ragha is a nation of red-skinned humans with a culture much like pre-Islamic Iran, or the Seljuk Turks.
** Rus[=/=]Vanarus[=/=]Bogarus is heavily inspired by Myth/SlavicMythology and the history of the Kievan Rus. Rus is more like Ancient Finland with its Baltic leanings and reverence for bears; while Vanarus is more like the realms of the Varangians, the legendary foreign bodyguards of the Byzantine emperors. Bogarus meanwhile is more like a contemporary portrayal of the Russian principalities, possessing gunpowder weapons and strange astral magics.
** Therodos is the Greek city-states with a hint of the Cretans and Minoan island peoples.
** T'ien Ch'i is generally influenced by the history and [[Myth/ChineseMythology mythology]] of ancient China; specifically, the Han Dynasty in the Early Era, the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Era, and the Mongol-dominated Yuan Dynasty in the Late Era.
** Ubar[=/=]Na'Ba are based on pre-Islamic Arabia, down to having captive genies as their ultimate fighting units in their armies.
** Ulm, while initially based on [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Cimmeria]] in the Early Age, begins to more resemble medieval Germany in later ages. By the Late Age, Ulm transitions into Romania [[{{Ruritania}} if it really were dominated by vampires]].
** Ur[=/=]Uruk is inspired by the myths and stories of ancient Mesopotamia and Sumeria.

* PuffOfLogic: Certain Pretenders, and commanders equipped with the right items, can "disbelieve" illusions from a mile away, "instakilling" them because they're not real. Otherwise, this is the fate of illusions that are mortally injured or done existing, since they can't leave bodies.
Added DiffLines:
* YourMindMakesItReal: Dominions 6 adds "false damage", caused by illusions and other Glamour effects, and it can kill people unless [[PuffOfLogic they randomly realize they weren't actually hurt]]. Before Dominions 6, this trope was played far straighter; these sorts of attacks couldn't be undone by the target later realizing they were bamboozled, and illusions could actually cut a man in half if his brain thought the attack was real.
