 Combat in Dominions is similar to that in Fire Emblem and other tactical RPGs, with Defence Skill being Evasion, Protection being Defense, and HP being what it always is. Alternatively, if this were a spaceship game, HP would be Hull, Protection would be Armor, and Defence Skill would be a cross between Evasion and Energy Shields. Combat in Dominions is similar to that in Fire Emblem and other tactical RPGs, with Defence Skill being Evasion, Protection being Defense, and HP being what it always is.

 Natural Protection and Armor Protection stack, but with diminishing returns. They cannot add up to be greater than **40**, though a unit with zero Natural Protection or zero Armor Protection could technically have more than 40 in the other. This is enforced by a penalty equal to the two multiplied together and divided by 40, though the result is rounded up. Natural Protection and Armor Protection stack, but with diminishing returns.
