Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Domina
You manage from outside the arena, hands barely matter
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Place units then watch; no hands required
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Domina
AI opponents and crowds follow mappable behaviour
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
No adaptive opponent in campaign sandbox
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Domina
Fight outcomes carry real RNG you cannot fully control
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Wobbly physics makes identical setups resolve differently
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Training schedules, equipment and resource economy decide dynasties

Unit counters and placement solve each scenario
