Iron Dominion

Iron Dominion drops you onto a contested continent and asks you to carve out territory faster and smarter than three AI factions. Resource routes, scouting and timing your expansions all matter, and the AI punishes lazy play.

The touch controls took a session to click, but once they did, directing units and queuing builds felt natural. Battles are readable thanks to clean unit silhouettes, which is rare in mobile strategy.

Campaign missions each throw a different constraint at you, so you can't lean on one winning build forever. It's demanding in the best way and respects your intelligence.
