Domination by yura.net is a game similar to the classical board game Risk. It was coded by Yura of yura.net in the programming language Java.
It is actually not a new game, the first version was already released more than a decade ago. But it is constantly updated and only recently has music been added to the game.
You can play against the computer or against other human players. Basically the objective of the game is, in its basic mode, the conquest of the world; in other modes, it may vary a bit. At first every player chooses a couple of countries that will belong to him from the beginning on. Then every player places several military units in his/her countries. The actual game is a turn-based strategy game. When it's the player's turn, he/she can attack other countries. The number of military units signifies the number of attempts the player has to defeat the other's army. Whether you win or lose is a pure matter of luck. Nevertheless the probability that you will win increases with the difference between your own units and the other player's units. Once you've defeated the other player's army, the country belongs to you and you can place units in this country.
Actually it is a simple game, but the concept is very powerful and cast its spell upon me. Domination is one of my favourite free computer games.
