Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Dominion Wars

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Dominion Wars is a strategy game developed by Gizmo Industries and published by Simon & Schuster in 2001. The game is a mix between a rts and space combat simulation and as the name suggests it set between season 5-7 of Deep Space Nine.

The game lets you play on the side of the Federation or the Dominion in both singleplayer and multiplayer. In it you command 1-5 starships either as a fleet or each ship individually in 20 different story missions. In multiplayer 8 player can play with up to 48 ships in 5 different game modes.

Where can I get it?
A few months after the release of the game the whole production for more copies stopped. If you believe rumours 9/11 played a part in it, since the company had it's office in one of the towers. So, your only option is to buy the game on ebay.

How can I install it on Windows 10?

 * 1) Install the game
 * 2) Patch to v1.04 (there're different version for the US, English, German game versions)
 * 3) Use a no-cd crack (replace ds9dw.exe) (this is of course optional, but recommend)
 * 4) Use a hexeditor to edit ds9dw.exe and replace ddraw.dll to ddra2.dll
 * 5) Copy the wrapper dll into the main game folder
 * 6) Download dgvoodoo2
 * 7) Copy the ddraw.dll, d3d8.dll, dgvoodoo.conf, dgvoodoocpl.exe to the main game folder
 * 8) Edit the dgvoodoo.conf: Dithering = appdriven

Multiplayer after 2014?
Here is another victim of the gamespy shutdown and as always you can still play this game with a VPN like Radmin or Zerotier

Trivia
The US version of the game came with Starship Creator 2. Ships created in this game can be imported into Dominion Wars.
