Plot

Ultimate Domain starts in the 17th century in the colonies of the new world, where the player has four settlers and a few raw materials. The settlers take jobs such as woodcutter, architect, and specialist; woodcutters turn trees into logs, architects use wood, stone, and metal to make various kinds of buildings, and specialists make goods for selling once a shop is built. The settlers may also search for "The Seven Jewels of Genesia".[2]

Reception

Computer Gaming World rated Ultimate Domain one star out of five. Describing it as a lackluster combination of Populous and Civilization, the magazine reported that it was possible to win the game without expanding from the starting position, concluding that "If that doesn't sound a death knell for a game of empire building, I don't know what does".[3] The game was reviewed in 1995 in Dragon #213 by Jay & Dee in the "Eye of the Monitor" column. Both reviewers gave the game 2 out of 5 stars.[2]
