== List of Games ==


=== Game 1 vs. Alice the Serf ===
=== Game 1 ===
Only yesterday you were mere heir to the Throne of Vaccara, but today the kingdom is yours! Your parents, the Prince and Princess, met mysterious deaths while vacationing at Chesmarsh Villa in the countryside. Your kingdom may be small, with only three estates and a small supply of copper, but it's now yours to command.

{{Kingdom|Militia|Remodel|Smithy|Market|Mine|Cellar|Moat|Village|Woodcutter|Workshop|imgwidth=160|title = Alice the Serf}}
Your mother's parents, the King and Queen of Provilia, schedule a visit to your castle. You hear rumors: your grandfather never really liked your father; your parents' death might not have been accidental; your parents had enemies. It's time to hire a spy who can learn more information. Sadly, your opponents have spies too, so it's time to add some crocodiles to your full moat.

=== Game 2 ===
Your mother's parents, the King and Queen of Provilia, schedule a visit to your castle. You hear rumors: your grandfather never really liked your father, your parents' death might not have been accidental, your parents had enemies. It's time to throw a feast and task your bureaucrats to learn more information. Or at least fill the coffers with some silver.


=== Game 3 vs. Maiden Abigail ===
'''Starting decks'''
After a stay that felt much too long, your grandparents return to Provilia. Interesting information has come in: neighboring King Rex wasn't extremely neighborly to your parents. Now he has it in for you. It doesn't help that your new mine in the northern hills struck silver and gold--in land King Rex wanted.

=== Boss Game 4 vs. King Rex ===
=== Game 3 ===
It's time to confront King Rex directly. Your spies were useful for strategic information, but they haven't discovered proof that King Rex killed your parents. Your spies tell you that he is planning an attack. Time to alert the militia, drop the drawbridge, and go on the offensive.

It's time to confront King Rex directly. Your spies haven't discovered proof that King Rex killed your parents, but they were useful for strategic information: you learn he is planning an attack.

=== Game 6 vs. Maiden Marjoria ===
'''Starting decks'''
Your devious cousin Queen Vada appears to be building quite a kingdom of her own, which she considers superior to yours. She locked you in the cellar at Chesmarsh once, when your families were there on holiday. Now that she's a queen, her trickery could be dangerous. Inviting her to a kingdom-wide festival should demonstrate your own wealth and power.

=== Game 7 vs. Squire Edwin ===
=== Game 5 ===
Queen Vada isn't happy with your expansion near her kingdom. You're not sure why; it's much more benign than locking her in the cellar. She hints that she knows something important about your parents. "Apparently," she says, "Rex wasn't their only enemy."

Completed map for Base Set - Act 1.

Dominion Campaigns: Base Set Act 1 (originally subtitled Ascending the Throne) is the first full Campaign Act available to play on Dominion Online. It comes free with a Dominion Online account. The player is introduced to Cellar, Chapel, Moat, Chancellor, Village, Woodcutter, Workshop, Bureaucrat, Feast, Gardens, Militia, Moneylender, Remodel, Smithy, Spy, Thief, Throne Room, Council Room, Festival, Laboratory, Library, Market, Mine, Witch, and Adventurer - all the cards in the base set - as well as a select few other cards from later sets.

Campaign Overview

Apt to its title "Ascending the Throne," the plot of this Act revolves around investigating the sudden deaths of your parents, the Prince and Princess, as you take over the reigns of power of the kingdom of Vaccara. This Campaign is probably the easiest Campaign to complete.

List of Games

Game 1

Only yesterday you were mere heir to the Throne of Vaccara, but today the kingdom is yours! Your parents, the Prince and Princess, met mysterious deaths while vacationing at Chesmarsh Villa in the countryside. Your kingdom may be small, with only three estates and a small supply of copper, but it's now yours to command.

Game 2

Your mother's parents, the King and Queen of Provilia, schedule a visit to your castle. You hear rumors: your grandfather never really liked your father, your parents' death might not have been accidental, your parents had enemies. It's time to throw a feast and task your bureaucrats to learn more information. Or at least fill the coffers with some silver.

After a stay that felt much too long, your grandparents return to Provilia. Interesting information has come in: neighboring King Rex wasn't extremely neighborly to your parents. Now he has it in for you. It doesn't help that adventurers, moneylenders and thieves in the northern hills are making you all a fortune -- in land King Rex wants.

You defeat King Rex, but all was not as simple as it seemed. After some interrogation you feel confident that he didn't kill your parents and doesn't know who did. Now you're thinking it had to be someone who had an insider's access to the family's vacation estate, Chesmarsh Villa. Realizing your opponents have spies too, it's time to add some crocodiles to your full moat.

Your devious cousin Queen Vada appears to be building quite a kingdom of her own, which she considers superior to yours. She locked you in an abandoned chapel at Chesmarsh once, when your families were there on holiday. Now that she's a queen, her trickery could be dangerous. Inviting her to the victory celebration with King Rex in chains should demonstrate your own power and wealth. Double shifts at the mine to raise funds for the feast.

Queen Vada isn't happy with your militia raising a new headquarters in a village near her kingdom. You're not sure why; it's much more benign than locking her in a chapel. She hints that she knows something important about your parents. "Apparently," she says, "Rex wasn't their only enemy."

Now that you've won a battle against Queen Vada, you expect a boon--maybe information about your parents? Grateful when you remodeled her destroyed estate (after all, she is family), she tells you that in the nearby Kingdom of Idare is an assassins' guild called The Slayers, whose leader, the Overlord, might be complicit in the deaths.

Your informants tell you he might not have been acting alone. You want to focus on domestic issues. After all, subjects will fill your coffers if you treat them well. But will civility give you answers about your parents' deaths?

Game 13

Joseph Gelu's interrogation leads to surprising news: the Overlord of the Slayers is none other than King Hogan IV! You'd really like to know more about his Slayers before it's too late--for you, that is. Your tactician advises you to have the smithy reinforce the portcullis and rally the militia once more in preparation for war.

Game 15

Overlord Hogan IV learns of the motive behind your overture and erupts in an unintelligible tirade. You know that Hogan and his assassins guild were under orders from someone else, but who? Send out spies and adventurers to learn what they can while your smithy helps remodel estates into new laboratories and munitions factories.

Boss Game 16

With Queen Vada, Overlord Hogan IV, and Hogan's concealed employer threatening your kingdom, it is hard to focus on being pious and just. Will you survive the struggle for power? Will your kingdom's beautiful markets and gardens remain intact? Or will your subjects cower in cellars as their villages are overrun?

Game 17

To the victor belong the spoils! You acquire the defeated Overlord Hogan IV's hoard, including the contents of his secret laboratory, making Jezebel happy. Magic has never had a home in Vaccara, but it might be good to change things up in seeking the upper hand with King Leroy. Your father once told you to be wary of change, an idea you never embraced.

Game 18

Spies at the market uncover more rumors on who hired the Overlord Hogan IV to kill your parents: it was someone from Provilia, your grandparents' kingdom! Were the moneylenders acting on their behalf? You need proof before you can make a confrontation. Writing it all down is a good idea; put a bureaucrat on that. Go forth--adventure awaits!

Game 19

You don't want to believe that Grandmother and Grandfather Provilia had any part in your parents' murders, so you retreat to the chapel to quietly contemplate next steps. Your happy subjects have made Vaccara rich, and it's time to spare no expense in learning the identity of the evil one behind the deaths. Maintain discretion if you can, but hire some goons to shake people down and learn the truth!

Final Boss Game

The evidence is incontrovertible--your grandmother, Queen of Provilia, had your parents killed. "They were weak rulers," she said. "I knew that you could do better." Can you defeat her evil plotting? Remember: don't bring a thief to a witch fight.
