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.
