This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've not used it, but it looks good on paper.  Crunchy mechanics for running a dominion, backed by some feats, a new NPC class that interacts with the dominion rules, some prestige classes, and something resembling a straightforward mass combat system.  If I wanted to run old fashion "build your castle then march your armies against other castles" high level D&D, using these rules and the core 3e books would probably work.

I think the system in the D&D RC works better for this.

I reviewed this:

I found it less that satisfying, but then, I have yet to find a domain system that really satisfying, so if you have got to have one, it might work for you.

The hiccups in scaling and vagueness/incompleteness when it comes to what different size settlements and fortresses actually represent in D&D game terms seemed to be big problems to me.
