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. | Dominions 3 can be played in 3 different Eras (also known as 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. | 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]].

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. | 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.

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]].
