Context and role
Dominion is a Necron resource tied directly to territorial expansion through the Power Matrix. The faction preview states that a larger Matrix generates more Dominion for the war effort, connecting economy to the spread of Necron structures rather than presenting the resource as an isolated income stream. That relationship is the full documented mechanic at present. The source does not publish what Dominion purchases, a generation rate, storage limit, starting amount, spending priority, loss condition or separate capture method. Its supported identity is Matrix-scaled income, not a complete economy table.
History and changes
Dominion appears within the Necron design goal of slow, steady expansion that becomes an accumulating battlefield threat. Buildings extend the Power Matrix, many structures depend on that field, and greater coverage increases Dominion generation. This makes economy, construction territory and faction momentum parts of the same announced system. The article presents that connection as current design intent, not as a revision. It records no former resource name, earlier generation rule, altered rate, removed expenditure, balance adjustment, patch history or comparison with a previous Dawn of War economy.
Practical use
The only supported way to influence Dominion is to grow the Power Matrix: the larger the field becomes, the more of the resource the Necron player gains. That gives expansion an economic consequence and helps explain why Matrix growth matters beyond construction and unit support. The source does not identify a spending menu, optimal expansion direction, threshold, timing, priority purchase or method for recovering after lost coverage. High-level guidance should therefore connect Dominion planning to deliberate Matrix expansion without inventing a build order, income calculation or universal investment choice.
Solve the player’s problem
The common misunderstanding is to treat Dominion as income detached from Necron territory. The faction preview makes the dependency explicit: generation rises with the size of the Power Matrix. Because Dominion is a resource rather than a combat entity, this section should clarify that relationship instead of inventing a unit counter. The source does not state that damaging one structure removes stored Dominion, that shrinking the Matrix changes income immediately or that opponents can capture the resource. Any denial sequence, target priority or economic breakpoint would exceed the published evidence.
