But the premise and gameplay, while solid and entertaining, are nowhere near as revolutionary as Ion Storm is supposed to be. Thing is, each wants it for their own people. That means war. Our players are the humans, the robotic Scorps, reptilian Darkens and the ruthless Mercs. As with all RTS games, each race has its perks.
Humans are average overall.
Darkens excel at defense, but are slow. Scorps build quickly, but are weak on defense and offense. Mercs have great big guns, but poor defenses to back 'em up. That's where the differences end. As with its RTS forefathers, Dominion uses game pieces that are similar for each race.
