actually the biggest real difference (so far) is that in stars! it's a spreadsheat controlled game where there IS an uber race design and UBER ship design etc. and if you don't follow em and the enemy does your going to lose unless of course the enemy is a strategic nincompoop of course in which case you just got lucky lol.

but seriously I see people comparing the two games a lot and I just don't see the comparison. (aside from the fact that both are great games in thier own right.) but dominions is by far the more balanced where you can play ANY of the races and have an even chance of winning (as long as you don't totally barf on your dominion design but even if you do it's possible to make up for it with good sound strategy) it really is hard to really make a totally unplayable "god" in dominions but in stars it's the opposite it's hard to make a playable "race" hehe.

I guess it's the relatively large number of players per game and PBEM styles of the two that seem to mak epeople want to compare them

Spreadsheet style? *flashback of moo3* ....*shudders*...Stars is a game right? It's not a simulation of a game? ;p

Hmmm stars didnt strike me as spreadsheet. VGAPlanets did but not Stars. I think alot of Stars people came to Dominions because if you LIKED stars then you probably liked it for all the starting variations which allowed for completely different playing strategies (oh yeah, plus you already understood and were willing to overlook the quirks of a PBEM game)

What Stars did well, Dominions did much better. IMHO
