DomiNation - free download

Domination is a free Internet multiplayer area-control strategy game where up to eight players or bots compete to control fictitious countries on a hex grid using dice-controlled army battles. Bot brains come with different strategies. Players can be replaced by bots, or assume a bot's role, so the game can continue even if players leave in the middle. Nukes are available at the channel moderator's option.

This game is part of the Synthetic Reality "Arcadia" family of games. (http://www.synthetic-reality.com/arcadia.htm) Players add additional channels at will using the integrated MIX server. Arcadia itself provides all networking support, in addition to text chat, voice chat, web browsing, and a parallel existence 'park' environment for serenity, duck-feeding, and paintball while you wait for other players to show up. Arcadia allows you to create a personal identity with which to expose your current emotional state, and maintain a diary of other players you have met in the game.
