Perhaps "My First Game", or maybe "My First Rampage Through the Galaxy", depending on your style. I'll run through most of them so you can set up the type of game you want. This may seem a little overwhelming at first but most of the standard options are already selected. To start a new game, press the New button on the Game Details window, This will open a much larger window with the title "Create New Game". If you accidentally press Select and get to this menu bar before setting up a game, you can go back to the Game Details window by pressing Ctrl-I or choosing Game Info from the Game menu. Select will choose the currently selected game and take you to the main menu bar (which is really just a window title bar and a menu in the centre of the screen). In a moment we are going to be pressing New but a quick word on Select first. Across the bottom are four buttons: New, Save, Delete Game and Select. Hen you start Aurora, the first thing you should see is a small window with Game Details in the title bar. ![]() If this resolution is higher than what your monitor can display, whenever your mouse pointer reaches the edge of your screen, the whole screen will scroll in that direction. If you uncheck this box, you can set resolution to anything your graphics card can handle. There is a checkbox which reads "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display". Select the Advanced button and then select the Monitor tab. Go to the screen where you set your resolution. A program that extends the desktop beyond your screen can be found at In XP, something similar is already built in but it does carry a warning from Microsoft so you will have to decide if this is worth trying. If your display doesn´t support this, there are ways around it, provided your video card supports a higher resolution than your monitor/display. A higher resolution or multiple monitors will allow you to see more windows at once. The minimum resolution required is 1280x1024 for the normal mode or 1280x800 for the reduced height window mode. Sorry I can't provide country-specific software but this game is a hobby for me not a commercial project. If you are living in a country which uses the comma (,) for decimal separator, then while playing Aurora you have to switch the Regional Settings of your computer over to US or UK or another country that uses the period (.) as the decimal separator. ![]() If you match up with any significant number of these titles, you'll probably like this game.1 Introduction 1.1 System Requirements 2 Part 1: New Game Creation 2.1 New Game Window 2.1.1 Non-player Race Generation Chance 2.1.2 Non-player Race Population Modifier 2.1.3 Comets 2.2 Setting Empire Parameters 2.2.1 Government Type 2.2.2 Main Empire Theme 2.2.3 Commander Theme 2.2.4 Trans-Newtonian Empire or Conventional Empire 2.2.5 Species Tolerance 2.2.6 Starting Population 2.2.7 Starting System 2.2.8 Starting Tech 2.2.9 NPC Forces 2.2.10 Other Settings 3 Part 2: The Basics of the System Map 3.1 Waypoints 3.2 Military tab 3.3 Minerals 3.4 Display 2 Window 4 Part 3: Population and Production window: Summary View 4.1 Summary View 5 Part 4: Basic Class Design 6 Part 5: Shipyards and Shipbuilding 6.1 6.1.1 Manage Shipyard 6.1.2 Modifying Shipyards 6.1.3 Shipbuilding 6.1.4 Commercial Shipyards 6.1.5 Shipyards in Combat 6.1.6 Towing Shipyards 6.1.7 Ship Construction Ratesħ Part 6: Commercial Shipping 8 Part 7: Fast OB Creation window and Basic Fleet Orders 9 Part 8: Economics Window: Mining and Maintenance Tab 10 Part 9: Colony Cost and Terraforming 11 Part 10: Designing a Beam-armed Warship 11.1 Turrets 12 Part 11: Summary of Beam Weapons and CIWS 12.1 Lasers 12.2 Railguns 12.3 Particle Beams 12.4 Meson Cannon 12.5 Gauss Cannon 12.6 Plasma Carronade 12.7 High Power Microwave (HPM) 12.8 Close in Weapons System (CIWS) 13 Part 12: The Time Increment System 13.1 13.1.1 The 5-Day Construction Cycleįirstly, I need to address a couple of system requirements I like complex worlds, complex mechanics, and games with turn-based or pause based strategy. Europa Universalis (strategy, complexity) Planescape: Torment (Complexity, narrative has a similar taste to dominons, RPG elements) Cataclysm: DDA (World gen, complexity, turn based) Dwarf Fortress (World gen, planning, complexity) I would say you'll almost certainly enjoy Dominions 4 if you can really dive into it and understand the mechanics (which took me several tries, lots of YouTube videos and questions, and hundreds of hours).įor a guideline, here are other games I really enjoy myself which I consider 'similar' in some way, although some of those ways are rather meta: In the vast ocean of videogames which are nothing at all like dominions, those two titles you mention are relatively similar to it (although put next to each other, they're nothing at all like it, if that makes sense.) ![]()
