Good morning and welcome to Three Moves Ahead. I'm your host, Michael Hermes. Joining us is the founder

and Pantacrator of Three Moves Ahead, Troy Goodfellow. The what? The Pantacrator, the original deity

that has left the lands of Dominion. Oh, oh, okay, yes. Hi, everyone. Excellent. Also joining us is

freelance writer and noted demonologist Jonathan Bolding.

Howdy, howdy?

And finally, our very own monolith, Dr. Bruce Garrick.

Hello gamers.

Tonight, this morning, I'm saying this morning, because Rob always says tonight, we're going to be talking about Dominions 5, Warriors of the Faith, the latest game in the cult series of strategy games by Illwinter Games.

And we're going to talk about what's new in the series, why we still continue to love it so much, and how this entry iterates on what has come before it.

So to get us started, Bruce, I'd like to talk to you because you are intimately familiar

with the game, and we should probably put our disclaimers right up front that you are

personally involved with the project, thus validating everyone's fears that we are bought

and paid for by big strategy.

Oh, the man.

Yeah.

The man. Why don't you tell us about your, your, your involvement with

Winter Games?

So I've written the manual for the last three iterations.

So Dominions 3, Dominions 4, Dominions 5.

Dominions 3 was in 2006.

So I guess I've been, you know, actively in working with Illwinter for the last 11 years,

but I actually got involved around Dominions 2.
