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 | 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/Spells and 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. | ||
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 Sites and Magic Gems|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). | Custom map commands and/or modding can be used to set up cross-era games.

Dominions 1 and 2 had several nations that resulted from the collapse of a great empire once ruled by [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/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. | 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]].
