A Copy Cat?
 

Was just browsing through some new games in the pipe line and came acrossed Great Invasions. Looks a lot like, well to me any ways, dominion series. Yell at me if I am wrong, I won't mind.

Is it this one:

It seems to use 'provinces', but that's not unique to Dominions. Europa Universalis etc use those also. I didn't see battle scripting, or any battles at all, much less ability to use single units to decide a battle (the way SCs or powerful mages can do it).

Thanks for posting that. It was worth looking at.

But Ive seen others that looked closer. And were done by people in these forums.

Re: A Copy Cat?
 

It looks like it could be a fun game. Europa Universalis never quite worked for me, so hopefully this one will be better. I hope their resource system is more complex than just "gold"... I love games that have economic models.

I don't think that any game without magic can directly compete with Dominions, though.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the description (alien invasion, government coverups, special forces) doesn't match the screen shots, which look medievalish?

Re: A Copy Cat?
 

I never noticed that! That bit mentions the game as 'Hidden Invasion', not as Great Invasions, so I quess the description and screenshots are from different games.

lol - Gamershell really blew this one. "Hidden Invasions" is a PS2 game, and looks like a FPS - http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/h...reenindex.html

"Great Invasions" looks like EU2 because it was done by an EU2 designer. And yes, it's very much medieval! Looks fun in an EU2 way. I wish there were an EU2-feel game that didn't take so long, though. Ditto for Dominions, for that matter.

I got Great Invasions on my main computer. Its a nice game, but its totally different then Doms. Btw the AI was horrible when the game was released, now after many patches its a bit better, but still dumb.
The game is also a bit too simple for me.
