I like the Dominions games but SE and Dominions really are not that similar. The bones of DE is MoM with some changes and a lot of extra stuff added. But, you still have city founding and city building. You have deep tactical combat. You have spell schools, spell research, heroes with equipment, units with equipment that level up. Basically if you liked MoM you should like this if you stick around long enough to learn the ropes and how it differs from that game. Dominions is not really that similar to this at all.
