Earth Domination was recently updated which actually improved the game operation. Before the update things were a bit laggy merely afterwards the version i.8 update things moved forth a lot nicer. Overall, World Domination isn't a bad online multi-player game.

The game screen is a earth map that is divided by countries (or regions). Movement lines are present to show which land can assault which or what direction you can make troop reinforcements. The number circumvolve on each land represents the number of troops or armies present. The global map is touch zoomable, supports landscape orientation and a statistics and chat box is located in the middle of the Pacific Body of water (about where Hawaii should be).

Game play follows along the same line as the board game Risk does except your initial placement of troops (armies) to the various countries is random.

After the replay is over, game play is very similar to Risk. Y'all deploy new troops, assail your opponents so re-enforce your positions with troop movements. To assail a country just tap your troop indicator and drag your finger to your target. Instead of dice, combat is accomplished by spinning wheels and troop movements at the cease of your plough is limited to i country. Every bit with Risk, you earn new troops based on the number of countries you occupy and bonus troops are awarded for players who occupy an entire continent.

Yous go on playing until one thespian dominates the world by occupying all the countries.

Globe Domination does set a 24 hour limit on taking a turn. If you lot fail to take your plow within 24 hours, your plow is skipped and whatever troops set to deploy are carried over. If you get a grouping of players that stay on top of their turns, World Domination is a very entertaining game. However, and I'thousand as guilty equally the next, sometimes you get a player that drags things out and the amusement value drops just a tad.

Risk is a personal favorite and World Domination does a decent job of representing the game concept. I would have liked to have seen a local gaming option against a computer opponent or maybe even a pass and play option. Since being updated to version 1.8, the game moves along nicely and while animations are simple, they become the job done. In a nutshell, World Domination is a Windows Phone game worth trying.
