Dominions 3 can be played in 3 different Eras (also known as Ages). The nations will be different in each Era. They can get era-specific [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Magic/Spells & Rituals|spells]] and [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Summon|summons]], also different national troops and leaders. Not every nation is playable in every Era, as some disappear completely and others get replaced over the course of the history.
==The Ages==


In addition to nation lineup, era also affects the frequency of different independent [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Population Type|population types]] and the frequency of [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Magic/Magic Sites|magic sites]].  Some population types and magic sites may be restricted to certain eras only and are impossible to find in other eras.

Custom map commands and/or modding can be used to set up cross-era games.  Different era versions of the same nation have slightly different flags so you can tell them apart when they are playing against each other in this type of game.  All nations also have a short descriptive phrase attached to their name which is different for each Era (e.g. Ulm, Enigma of Steel; Ulm, Forges of Ulm; Ulm, Black Forest).

Dominions 1 and 2 had several nations that resulted from the collapse of a great empire once ruled by [[/Nations/Ermor|Ermor]], before it was devastated by a necromantic disaster.  In Dominions 3, it appears that these events take place between the Early and Middle Eras.

===Sea===
Between Middle and Late Eras the starspawns of [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/R'lyeh|R'lyeh]] successfully dominate the seas and destroy [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Atlantis|Atlantis]] and [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Oceania|Oceania]]. Oceania is eradicated, but Atlantis manages to form a new nation on land, while other Atlantian refugees appear in some Late Era nations.

==Nations/Themes from Dominions 1 and 2 that no longer appear in Dominions 3==
Unlike most old national themes, Soul Gate and Carrion Woods are not nations in Dominions 3, but rather nation restricted global enchantments.  Their unique summons have been incorporated as national summons for the corresponding nation.  [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Marignon|Marignon]]'s Diabolical Faith theme has been merged into [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Marignon, Conquerors of the Sea|Conquerors of the Sea]].  Its Fires of the Faith theme has been merged with the old base Marignon to create Dominions 3's [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Marignon, Fiery Justice|Fiery Justice]].  [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Ulm|Ulm]]'s Iron Faith theme has been merged into [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Ulm, Black Forest|Black Forest]].  [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Pythium|Pythium]] appears only in the Middle Era, so the Serpent Cult theme could have been either merged into standard Pythium, used as part of [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Sauromatia|Sauromatia]], or eliminated; details unknown.  [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Man|Man]]'s Last of the Tuatha theme is not present in the current (3.0) version, but will be added later in a patch as a nation of tuatha and sidhe called [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Nations/Tir na n'Og, Land of the Ever Young|Tir na n'Og]].
