October 27^th, 2003 (12:00am) - Shrapnel Games announced today the release of five demos for the highly anticipated epic fantasy strategy title, Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars. Demos are available for Windows, Mac, Solaris and Linux (2). You can download the demos from the Dominions 2 download page at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm.

In Dominions 2 players assume the role of a god in a quest to become the One True God. To do this you’ll need to raise armies, assassinate enemy leaders, wield powerful magic, and in general crush all non-believers. With up to sixteen other opponents, either AI or human, the competition will be tough but the games played legendary in nature! From the music, to the graphics, to the interface and overall gameplay this is a game of epic proportions.

"We are excited to get the demos out to the public," Tim Brooks, president and founder of Shrapnel Games commented. "Dominions 2 is fantastic and the amount of interest from the gaming public is amazing. Now, those that have never played the original can get a taste of what makes this game so awesome. We just finished editing the manual and the depth can be seen right there, in the 146 pages of documentation. The possible actions you can do in any given turn is truly staggering.

Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars is available for pre-order for $44.95 through The Gamer’s Front and is projected to ship on November 14, 2003.
