Please consider separating this a bit into multiple conversation pieces, so that there's not just a single big wall of text.
For instance, you can think about what questions a player might have (similar to questions that you had)... examples could be "How do I win?", "How do I take the enemy's flag?" or "How to I score a point?", etc.
This will lead to a more natural conversation flow and fewer text walls 😉

There should at least be a response here to close the dialogue.

Added some new responses

This explains more about how to get the game started rather than how to take the other team's flag. Actually only the very last sentence provides the required information to answer the question in the title. You might want to extract the rest to form the answer to a different question 😉

I have added another response(button) that explains about the magic dome

Did you test in-game, that having two actions here actually works and has the expected effect?

yes having two actions worked in the game. I tested the game with only one action but that only showed up the new dialog and the new responses(buttons) linked with that page did not worked so I tried adding CloseDialogAction and that closed the previous page and new page worked fine

"Back" buttons work well 👍
I'd propose to remove the "Back" button from the upper level (where you can click on the questions), because there's nothing more to "explore" on the level above and there's already a lot of options.

If you correct this and the comment below, I think this should be good to go 🙂

The text doesn't match the title as it doesn't really explain what the magic dome is but only says that it will be there.

so should I remove this button or add something else in its text?

some last remarks otherwise good to go
