I haven't tested with vanilla Dragon Age, it might require the expansion pack to run smoothly. Just saying.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Fancy that! Though strictly speaking I really do not have time for game modding anymore these days.

Nice, it really looks interesting and I've heard good reviews. How is it compared to Dominions?

It's the HoMM of Dominions. Get your hero, wank around killing armies, get OP in the style of your culture. I've played like 3 games and died within the first 10 turns in all of them.

It's the SP counterpart.
CoE3 is fast, little game. It's simpler than Dominions (no control over battles, not even the "indirect" orders; a simplified and randomized magic system). It is quite similar to a rogue-"lite" - the random maps can kill you fast and your victory is often dependant on the correct use of limited resources. Of course, you can savescum, but I find quite amusing to try even the harsher maps.
On the plus side, CoE3 being far more limited in scope, and thus the AI can be an almost competent opponent - a thing unheard of in standard Dominions.
Most factions are also "lite" versions of the proper dominionesque factions, and the map generator has a good amout of options for nice scenarios (ad ex. the "age" of the map - a way to set the "civilization" level of the settlements- the power and the options of many factions can vary a lot depending on the resources). And of course you have the standard Dominions bestiary as neutrals.
Minuses. Game mechanics are not good for MP. Extremely annoying neutral creatures - the deers are incredibly aggressive and can kill an AI player or a unsuspecting Human quite easily - you WILL have several armies created only to keep the fucking snakes out of your cities. It can became a chore on larger maps.
Last words? It's worth 3-4 bucks.
