The Wheel has turned once again.Why the fuck does this cost so much? editionDominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them. It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.>Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y (embed)>Steamgrouphttps://steamcommunity.com/groups/vanheimageofvidya>Multiplayer guide>Blitzserver (game hosting service)https://blitzserver.net(Dom 6)https://beta.blitzserver.net/games>Llamaserver:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1212948582>Documentationhttps://illwinter.com/dom6/docs.html>Tools>Mod inspectorhttps://larzm42.github.io/dom6inspector/>Wikihttps://illwiki.com/>Pretender calculatorhttps://caleb-distributive.github.io/pretenders-dom6/>Debug mod (still dom5)https://www.dropbox.com/s/oo492x2cs8vag34/debug509.zip?dl=0>Communion fatigue calculator (still dom5)https://instacalc.com/53495>Automatically prevent starts in all provinces with less than X connections (still dom5)https://nixx.is-fantabulo.us/dom5ranmapnos/>How do I change the fonts?Replace guifont.ttf, guifont_fancy.ttf and guifont_texty.ttf in the game's 'data' folder (C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Dominions6\data)>Fan arthttps://thronebooru.booru.org>Sloop’s Comfy Balance Modhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1zeDyK8Zb_p4lIJ0yp3a3ikMprRkmBCWvy31_4jBen3Q/edit?usp=sharingPrevious Pantokrator >>486157183
Why is it impossible to hide 5 units for less than 15 gems? I just want to hide where my counterraiders are but I can't afford 60 gems for that use case. REEEEE

Is there a secret mechanic where if I get a good hero an alert will trigger and everyone mails them anthrax?
>>486671891Respond to what
>>486672056yes there is
>>486628907Here you go. He had N6 in start of the game, but deathmaxxing does funny things to your ritual capacity.Keep in mind spark adds start-of-battle quickness. He also got Halt Heretic +5 and Berserk +5 (thus 36). Also 1d6 large jaguars.It's well known damage you take in early arena battles carries over to later. Today I noticed... Enlarge HP buff also does.While tendie started Arena on his normal 148hp, in second fight he had 172, and by time of big showdown of the tourney came he rocked 196 and 220 after buff.Shamefully due to war I failed to get Con5 in time so gear is a bit dated.
>>486672450That explains it. I wish I got the alerts as well, though.

>Agartha didn't storm Mictlan>Xib scout pinged Ermor's fortYou fuckers I was expecting a good show this turn.

>>486710614Has there been a MAde_for_BBC yet?
>>486712907>Xib scout pinged Ermor's fortThanks for the extra horror turn Xib!
On turn 60 of Sparkbros I won my first war. Just a siege short of taking his cap.I think this Pyrene lad left a bit too hastly. Fucking infinite devils are pretty mean.
>>486670329WELL I CANT DO THAT EITHER BECAUSE IT COSTS SO MUCH
How's the game looking now at turn 60? I got taken out early so I can't see for myself but I'm curious. Was Lemuria contained? Did Pythium finally kill Abysia? Did Bogarus and Erytheia solve their dispute?
>>486719307Pythium sat on Abysia for about 3 millenia before finally killing him after he went AI, 3 turns ago.Erytheia is sitting on Bogarus' capital.I don't have good eyes on Lemuria but I see both (AI) Atlantis and Phlegra sitting on a couple of his forts.It's hard to tell who's leading but it seems like Pythium is the largest player, followed by maybe Agartha. Utgard and Phlegra seem to be up there too.

I hate when I dont check the province reports and accidentally walk my expensive shit into a massive enemy horde
how strong is the thunder weapons bless? it says 1 AN damage + 3 AN fatigue damage.i mean its low numbers so it sounds weak. but its a 7-cost bless so it must be strong right?
>>486724859I love it personally. Particularly when my army gets wiped out while barely inflicting any casualties.
>>486724024What's spark? A balance mod I'm assuming?
>>486724915It can stun and armor won't help you
>>486725667No, it's an unbalance mod.
>>486724024someone make it already, there have been several posters already saying theyre gonna make it.you dont want me making it, it would be the first game i host.but if nobody else makes it you leave me no choice...
>>486723332Someone always drew Asphodel as short and skinny since due to game mechanics, she's a poorfag
the asspoodle in sparkbros has undying 20 on his dudes from his tendie passivekind of fucked up, what do you even do to kill them? you can't really stall with normal troops either since he's got nigger mortis
>>486727883solar brilliance or fire storm if he has no BVif he has BV then idk stack a ton of MR onto a couple of fire storm casters and hope for the best, asphodel is a lot like ermor, critical masses are a huge pain to deal with
>>486725987ok how about charged bodies? if you combine it with shock resistance, the 20 shock damage to opponents who land a hit is a lot right?
>>486728649Yes and is very hard to 100% negate unless you're either lucky or you have a good amount of shock resistance
>>486729263but it triggers only for one hit right?
>>486729727Yes, only once, be it spell, innate, or bless
>>486727419
>>486729885
>>486729882What about nidders, twist fate/luck and death explosion trigger on every life iirc, maybe charged body too?
Is there any benefit to HP maxxing human sacreds rather than taking weapon/stat blesses? Any good nations to do this on?
Shapeshifters get double benefit from HP, Undying, and Luck. So Mictlan and Rus.
>>486733219>Barely manage to kill base form bearfucker>Get free dlc fuckbear bossfightT- thanks Illwinter.
>>486732882Nidders multidip HP/undying and are humans otherwise.
Is it cheating to spam missives so that your dominion decreases as a hellscales nation?
>>486732634It doesn't trigger on death, so nidders only get it once

>>486742634how do i conquer half a province?
OAsis in, all good, we're back on schedule. So looks like subbing is doable without shared password.Generally I would prefer teams to handle similiar affairs by themselves, but in case you need help I'm there.Part where even with password you can't play for your teammate is extremely dumb, picrelated.
I'm going for it bros I'm attacking the frozen boners. Wish me luck. My team didnt answer me if my army comp was strong enough
>>486748485>My team didnt answer me if my army comp was strong enoughsorry bro i have no idea if its strong enough thats why i didnt answer
>>486749276I checked the stats of the frozen warriors and they arent that strong so I assume I can beat the final boss with evocations/a lucky attack. He might get fatigued out too with heat auras despite the soul vortex
>>486748485I never toyed around with summoning them, but judging by statline if you heat-neutral racial traitor time it with summer it should do ok.They are basically cavemen (big hp and str) with pierce res and cold aura.
>>486749959yeah it's mainly the boss I'm worried about I forget his name and it didnt show up in the scouting report but he's strong. We're heat 1 so should be fine overpowering his aura with my own
>>486750130There is warrior (stock unforzen bane variant) with soul vortex armour and W2E3D5 mage with astral serpent and some more def stuff.Depends heavily on casting AI: there are many mean things you can do with D5. Or he may spam ench1 variant of summon skeleton.
>>486750130>>486751129The problem with the mage is that indie mages have iirc research 5 across the board from the start of the gameit never gets better for them but it does mean that any indie mage with big Death can just spam skeletons nonstopthey also usually come with gems so beware shadow blast
>>486751436I tried to assassinate him and dont think he had gems. I'll re-consider attacking but I have like 100 cyno warriors, 90 shades, or the 50 frozen province left. My caves are a mess
>>486720912Sparkadmin, in case you didn't notice. Explain this, thanks, this is a few too many times for just a coincidence and he's not even losing gems anymore.If this is a bug, then what is it, and why is it only hitting Asphodel? I think I've seen this once before in dom5, but it was a one-off, not 3 times in one game and two occurrences within 3 turns. There hasn't been an update, so that can't be it.
>>486752570He's 100% cheating in gold to offset his income being tanked for being asphodel
>>486753343I'm genuinely asking because if it turns out he's actually cheating I'm going to give myself 2k pearls and flood every province with a dozen arch angels, then go AI
>>486720912>>486752570>>486753343>>486754750How much you want to bet it's some russian on a pirated copy. probably the guy complaining about not having dlc
>>486754909No russophobie past this post.
>>486756075No cheating in domg games past this post
>>486752570Hi, admin speaking. I'm really not sure, the last time I saw something like this was during the glamour bug in the early days of 6 when casting certain spells gave you free items. It's doubly weird since asphodel's god doesn't have any complex layered event chains like some of the other gods. The amounts have been pretty low and I think a few turns ago asphodel had a negative gem increase reported so I'm not super worried, but if it continues much longer I can hop into his turns and check for impropriety.I know Asphodel posts fight reports somewhat regularly, so take this as a warning if you're deliberately pulling off some exploit.
>>486754909I'm a gud boi
>>486757298hes done it 3 times just log in and check to make sure he doesnt have like 9000 gold
>>486758302I just checked and tallied up his income, everything seems fine. There's a discrepancy of like 200 gold but the income screen infamously doesn't count mines or other +gold sites currently so I think it's all legit. It's normal for Asphodel to still have like 5k pop in their cap on turn 60, right? I've only played them a few times since the overhaul.
>>486758971I do think it's something to do with the mod, but the fact it went from costing gems to none is why I thought it was weird. Thanks for checking. I think they take growth scales so popkill takes longer yeah
>>486759112If the cheating messages keep popping up I can do a deep dive and examine just wtf he's doing with his commanders. His god is one of the straightforward ones that just gives a magic site with each temple so I don't think it's some event script going off the rails.
>>486759325Yeah well it's only a couple hundred gold here and there and if he doesnt have a ton of shit being recruited each turn / 9k gold stocked up I'm sure it's just a bug
>>486759325>>486759787What I'm mostly wondering is if he's somehow cheating 200 gold here and there to get a fort up a turn earlier or whatever, like sure it's not THAT big of a deal but if he's actually cheating then it's all fucked
>>486759771Malphas is the biggest chad in domingos loreFound a race of unfuckable lava monsters and domesticated them into hot demonic sluts
>>486761348Well at this point he's casting three red seconds as well so
>>486761492He has that much blood access? From where lol
>>486761656He has the black bull with like B8 and passively gets 1 slave per temple, by now on turn 60 it's enough for him to have a surplus.
>>486761857>and passively gets 1 slave per templeWhat the fuck? Ok holy shit I actually do need to flood him with angels for real instead of fucking around, I thought it was just undying per temple
StopWarhammerTime admin, please boot UlthuanAlso I love Nurgle
>>486762110yeah the black bull is pretty cool
>>486762110desu the undying might be more insane when you consider each point of undying lets the sacreds go -2 points below 0. By now he effectively has an extra like 36 health on his guys.
>>486762659yeah I noticed that, maybe I should've crunched Ulm earlier so I could fold Asphodel before he got properly rolling
>>486762454if he stalls again this turn just AI him imo

how important is dominion strength in MP games? AI shits out temples absolutely everywhere but am I really going to be fighting off enemy dom to even half that extent?
>>486766084Yes because players can Blood Sac and/or use stealth priests.
>>486765753Yeah but I'm being autistic here leave me alone.
>>486766084Not really, in my experience. You only care about it for the sake of scales and pretender expansion.

What happens if you stack cold aura and heat aura?
>>486770206it creates nerve gas
>>486770389awesome
>>486770206They work as normal, but keep in mind they're affected by local temperature scales. So you only really get both heat and cold auras in neutral temp.
>>486770206clouds don't stack so it's worse than maximizing one or the other
>>486770762Does that mean Foul Vapors and Grip of Winter work against each other since they both work through clouds?
Update from the front! The Ind-Ctis hellwar continues. The situation is tenuous to say the least, as the Jewish forces finally approach to enter the fight. If anyone is interested in the having debt owed by a stinky lizard, some assistance would be much appreciated.
>>486773187In theory yes, in practice they each hit 25% of the field per turn so they stack pretty well anyway.

how do I expand as fomoria just failed versus deer niggas
>>486783192either take a bless for your unmarked or take an expander like big pig and use fir bolg
>>486783192Make Nemedian Warriors and Unmarked at a 1:1 ratio, they fit in squares together and complement each other well. Use 14-20 guys total per expansion party, lead them with a Nemedian or Fomorian champion to bless, put them in a line and roll over most things. If you want to get more efficient, split the Nemedians off of 2 parties to go fight barbs with their high def, or split off the Unmarked to tank archer heavy provs without getting the elves killed, but being lazy is fine, their expansion is strong with barely any bless. Only bother giant expanding if you're running larger regen.
>>486784152>>486784496I copied a bless and it's got a ton of shit so I can probably do unmarked nemedian

>>486757298asphodel here, i have no clue that is happening.my only ideas are that:i thing the first time it happend i got 2 fort temple up at the same time, i think, so some temple discount + gemgen script might not work properly.or the lindwurm gemsstealing event does something weird.If you have some way to check and possible revert the problem than please do so, i need gems more than i need gold.

>>486809001Teleport
>>486809415Oh I see it, thanks. So the tendie needs to have astral 3? Another mage can't teleport them?
>>486809815No, and some immobiles cant even teleport., they're magically fixed at your capital

>>486815663they are worse at it than they used to be with B1 getting so much worse and their higher blood costing so much, but you definitely want slaves for the power it gives you.
>>486817132What's a good tendie build for these niggas? With so many sacreds I'm thinking they want a strong bless. Is immobile the way to go here? Was looking at blood vengeance and fortitude on the golden calf but if they take half damage then I guess the blood vengeance damage is halved too so maybe not a good combo?Moloch is good for the memes but he's fuckin expensive and I'm not sure he'll give me what I want.
So i enslaved a Monolith in a throne battle. If i cast GoR on it what magic path would it have? Would it retain the previous magic path it had or no magic at all?

What's the exchange rate for gems to gold in Dom 6?
>>486825541tree fiddy
>>486825541It depends. Are we buying or selling?
well ulm is now out, i think.>>486824857whatever causes it is hopefully not stuck forever, but if it is and badmin and sparksmoder cant fix it, than i will simply share the gold that i am getting with everyone.
>>486826114Buying
>>486826480>vapors
>>486825541look at the spells transmute fire, alchemy, etcit's around 25 gold per gem
>>486827965If you Enlarge your pants, they will be able to hold 30% more shit, and a bonus to map movement goes with it
>>486827997But gold is inflated in dom 6 compared to 5...
i have literally never used blood magic but I do keep hogging blood slaves because i believe everyone in my service deserves a virgin cunny wifemy labs and temples are usually built right across the street of each other for this purpose
>>486824127What the fuck is that "army"?
>>486825541Like 50-60 by midgame I think is usually a normal price
>>486829095Ulm is literally down to his sieged cap and two sieged forts, he's doing his best
I take over an Ermor fort and their poo allies rush to help them. Pangea is there as well but they seem to prefer watching. It would be safe to retreat back to the caves, but I want to kill all those monkeys so much, I am having trouble deciding
Ur took a fort off of me, but I did at least roast a lot of his troops.
do i need to have the mods enabled on my end to join a MP lobby with those mods? or does it automatically put them on
>>486834927It should automatically put them on and download them for you
>>486834927Blitzserver downloads and turns them on, illwinter lobby system requires to get mods beforehand.
>self-proclaimed diplomancer spamming my mailbox every turn with le nice and wholesome messageswhat does this retard think hes accomplishing? does he not know that i know that his attitude towards me can make a u-turn at any moment?i dont know maybe send me some gifts if youre really serious about being friendly you stupid bitch
>>486844189Sometimes I go whole games without messaging any other players. But I will conspire against one of these diplomancy assholes that blather on and on instead of playing the fucking game like a Fantasy Demigod trying to take over all of creation. I just don't see them haggling endlessly, excluding Hinnom perhaps
Playing a new mod for Coe5, good first impression if you ask me.
>>486844590I see it as a viable way, remember, anything goes if you're trying to become a godLosing is not an option, especially if you were on the winners shit list
>>486846406Of course it is viable. But I don't play this game to mentally manipulate other people well, I play it to command fantasy armies towards fights and wars that I am trying to win, and the tendency for people to get wrapped up in complicated deals takes away from that to me. Nothing wrong with some fun role playing and extended prose, but I'm never going to have a 10 paragraph conversation in our outside of the game about borders and NAP-5s or whatever the fuck
Just a quick reminder the LA Spark game is currently recruiting. We've got 11 players so far, come and hop in. I'll be starting sometime tomorrow or the next day probably.https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/274#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/274#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/274#status

>>486848313I like a quick turnaround and we've already got double digit players. I prefer to pull the trigger when everyone's still locked in rather than waiting awhile for possibly more players. All my games have been like this recently.

Is unbearable splendour bless worth the cost?
>>486852782It's not worth the cost but it is still very strong if you combine it with other stuff (not awe though, awe stops the attack entirely)the real problem is that it doesn't protect you against late game evo the way that BV doesremove BV from the game

Please rate this tendie bros. For MA Marignon.
>>486855815>flaming weapons
>>486855815Marignon wants high production for as many knights as humanly possible. And resistances would probably be better than flaming weapons. Otherwise looks okay.
>>486720615What are you rambling on about, I never double teamed anybody
Who are the best generic siege defenders I can summon?
>>486855930I take it you think that's shit?>>486856149Yeah that's the main thing I was concerned about. If it was you, where might you find the points for more production?
>>486855815I don't think Etherealness is worth itMA Mari comes with massive astral on its workhorse battlemages already, and they come with holy too and good leadership. A witch hunter with 6 knights can go body eth x3 blessing x2 and catch all of them. In expansion the knights are already so powerful that etherealness doesn't make the biggest difference
>>486857875>A witch hunter with 6 knights can go body eth x3 blessing x2 and catch all of them.Do you think I should have a 1:6 ratio of witch hunters to knights? I'm pretty far into a MA Marignon game right now which is what inspired me to make a new tendie for them (knowing what I know now) and mass etherealness seemed really good but maybe in your view I just haven't been using enough witch hunters?
>>486858438Oh I mean no, but are you relying entirely on etherealness to tank for you in the mid-late game? I'm surprised that works at all desu, the thing you posted would get deleted by a few fire eles or some resistant chaff with poison/thunder drakes behind them. In my experience mass etherealness becomes kind of not as strong once people have battlefield-wides up, you can't just lean on your sacreds to wipe out everything for you
>>486858792Hmm shit, I see what you're saying then.

>>486855815As a follow-up question to this, btw, how can I effectively incorporate blood magic into MA Marignon? Is there a way to get regular commanders with blood path? This seems like pure kino in terms of flavor.And on a similar note, what about Na'Ba's summons that call for blood magic? Do you need a blood path tendie to use them?
>>486859881>how can I effectively incorporate blood magic into MA MarignonYou mostly don't, you use your tendie to get some basic income and then empower to hunt for more.
>>486859981Is it worth it, practically speaking, or is it pretty much just some kino masturbation?

>>486859874>passing up the opportunity for a meal of great hoagYou hate good eating
>>486864315Take solar weapons instead of flaming weapons if you really want a weapon bless to free up some points for other stuff.
>>486855815>>486864315Forgot image.
>>486861803That really didn't make you laugh at all?
>>486864570Thanks. I didn't consider fire shield and I wasn't too confident on how to use them when fighting things that don't just run away from it's fear effect.
>>486864883etherealness doesnt really do anything against real armies, you want FR10 so you dont take friendly fire from evocations
>>486866810That's also an interesting idea but it's a ton of points yeah?
>>486859604saved a palisades in progress and a temple on a high income province so yes
>>486866810Oh wait you just mean take it twice for 10 points of resistance, not take it 10 times. I realized that when I maxed out at x5
>>486866810>>486868013How does that resistance work btw and how do I gauge how much is enough?
>>48686860410 is enough for most elements, it reduces incoming damage by 10+10%i have had great success with a bless similar to this one
>>48686860410 fire res is enough to protect you from heat clouds and burning and makes fire evocations much less effective on armored units
>>486868774Holy fucking paths, bro. I had not figured out why you'd use a dom1 humanoid tendie but I guess you just answered that question.
>>486868774>>486869238What about magic res?
>>486869836magic resistance works completely differently than ekementals resistancesinstead of acting as damage reduction, it provides a saving throw bonus
>>486870046Yeah that's what it looked like but I dunno how the math works so I don't know how effective each point is.
>>486868774>>486869238How worthwhile do you guys reckon death explosion is with 10 fire resistance?
>>486870538its a meme, dont bother with it
>>486870804It would seem like a much danker meme if it wasn't incarnate only desu.
>>486870946if you want an incarnate meme, taking blood bond imprisoned is not bad
>>486871119I love the tendie customization system. There's so much here to rack your brain over.
>>486870538People will say it is just a meme but it can do work
>>486871721I'd pick it up in a second, meme or not, if I wasn't trying to stick with imprisoned.

Ethereal isn't bad if you take it on an awake expanderShame it doesn't work unless magic scales are high enough, what a shit bless
do instant death procs count as the mage doing the damage in regards to blood vengeance? or is it just like a death proc without damage being calculatedI have the cursed gold lemuria hero and I'm wondering if it will delete tomb wyrms for me without much risk
>>486876139High magic scales are cool anyway though right?
>>486877220It's still damage so it still does proc
>>486877450No.(This post fact checked by real Ulmish patriots)
>>486877569alright just checking, I cant remember which CRPG I played where that wasnt the case
>>486878214A lot of games has instadeath as a status effect rather than just an absurdly high number, so it kinda makes sense
How do i best play LA Man? Just spam knights?
>>486890358LA man can do evocations and ranged very well with its access to wardens (who are excellent mage defenders due to their crossbows and melee even without a heavy bless) alongside strong glamour and chorus’
I command thee, KNEEL!
>>486891338nice haulthreat detected
>>486891338major win for team dalai lama
Magic site "white man hill" increases growth by 2. What did illwinter mean by this
>>486890846>alongside strong glamour and chorus’LA Man has neither.>>486890358You get good heavy infantry and great elemental communions. Just stand and shoot, while setting up buffs (same interaction as Shiniyama, hold+fire with crossbow is 24-turn long hold), dropping thunder/air eles and with access to every shooting buff out there outside of poisonous arrows.Knights are your usual good knights, but I'm not a fan: while great expanders they are pretty resource-intense for that and not that impressive later. But definitely a valuable tool if you want to shift a little from ultradefensive battle style.
>>486894740good *ranged* heavy infantry
>>486893191But black man hill gives 2 death gems, which is arguably better. Soo.
>>486891338What sort of indie province is this?
>>486896326I dunno but apparently it's rare and it was in my cap circle. In the caves of course where all the dangerous shit lies
>>486896326Some rare sites may replace local indies with predefined army.
>>486895261*shad man hill
>>486896758Unironically yes, like 70% of those special sites are for caves. Originally that was 'cause caves are rare hard-to-access terrain type with meh income so it was more of special tile on map fit for special sites.Same for shades.Now caves are quarter of the map yet follow same indie/site logic. Even PD is kinda broken without sloops.I pity Dominions 8 players who will get to enjoy extremely raw High Heaven, Plane of Elemental Salt and Horror Realms.
>>486898216That's just a host problem if they're letting so many cave provinces spawn. Should be like 7-8 per cave player. If there are 4 cave nations then I dont see a problem with that many caves proportionally as long as they're split up a bit.
>>486893191https://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=39353It's a very esoteric reference to Assyrian myth apparently

>>486898870>That's just a host problemNo, it's not gonna change a lick about half of your share's of territory not being designed to be accessable.
>>486900575oh youre arguing against the harder cave provinces. yeah I agree, they're stupidly difficult compared to above ground. Especially those fiend provinces, those should be much more rare
>>486901187Fiends aren't a big issue for olms.

all of the blood blesses seem really ass, except for blood bond which looks alright if paired with regeneration...am i correct or retarded.
>>486908467Blood vengeance is meta defining
>>486908467Blood surge is pretty much the best non-awake combat bless you can take in the game
>>486908467retarded strength is fineenchanted blood is really good with undyingblood surge is greatblood bond is greatblood vengeance is exceptional when applicable
>>486908467They're all great except blood bond ironically, there are way too many lategame evos that completely obliterate blood bonded guys. Blood vengeance is notable for having no counter.
>>486908638>>486909126I thought Blood Surge was nerfed in dom6
>>486909331>having no counterEh, just have a beefy dude stab em
>>486909396It got nerfed from mandatory to exceptional with the buff lasting shorter
>>486909414Well yeah, but it's less about melee frontliners and more about mages. If you field blood vengeance guys, the enemy basically can't ever cast fire storm or other battlefield clears since the backlash nearly instantly kills the caster.
>>486909601It doesn't proc on poison
>>486909872true but the units most commonly blessed with BV are undead and immune to poison
>>486909872Yeah but that's just a technological oversight they'd patch if they could.
>>486908467Nani the fuck>BV>Blood surge>Enchanted blood>BB apparently though I've never liked it overly muchEven unholy weapons seems like one the few good weapon blesses.
>>486910584Yeah. And don't forget its cousin, Vampiric Weapons, which restores HP and fatigue
>>486910674people say that ones bad because it does too much damage so you dont really lifesteal you just kill them lmao
>>486910674how does that even work? it looks like it only does a small amount
>>486910674Vamp weapons are sadly just bad though, the target has to live the hit for you to leech life and it's the most expensive bless in the game. Something basic like regen genuinely provides more recovery.
>>486910883it rolls dice to add onto it
>>486910674>>4869107513AN would be really good for units with low strength and damage but being on-damage rather than on-hit puts kneecaps it. Gives you good minimal damage on high prot units, but only if you were already getting through prot in the first place, in which case you may as well just get +3 strength.
>>486911368The DRN could go both ways so "to add onto it" isn't quite true. Though I suppose statistically it will increase the damage moderately since if it rolls < -3 it'll bottom out at 0 rather than healing so it's probably above 3 damage on average.
>>486911807The dice roll system inherently favors the attacker since rolling over gives more and more damage while the defender rolling over has the same result as if they won by 1.
Now my question now is what's the optimum bless for jags? Still just resists+blood surge?
>>486917031Quickness.
You get red card for disrupting the match, Agartha.Did I won? I think I did but no idea, he got that olm spam tendie, right? At least mages lost should sting, probably.Losing all them eagles hurts, but at least they traded 1to1 with olms.Wait, why did I lose like double number of his kills...
>>486917031doesn't undying work on both forms? probably that and ench blood
>>486918858Oh, I won through hp rout. I don't how you tackle 100+ olms otherwise: if you don't throw ton of chaff they stunlock you whatever your MR, if you do you bound to rout.
Does Magic 4 cause horrors to spawn?
>>486919707I think so. 4 is extreme levels for scales where bad shit starts happening.
>>486919707How do you get it that high?
>>486919707Pretty sure 4 gives random horror marks, 5 is where they start attacking.
>>486919707Not really. Theoretically yes, but in practice I never noticed much effect from quite rare mark or two.
>>486918858130 olms on turn 25 is nightmare fuel. Nice job repelling that onslaught.
Please rank the magic paths from best to worst (with comments explaining why, if you feel up to it)
>>486922942it depends (it depends)
>>486922942Best (most fun): blood magicWorst (weakest): also blood magic
>>486926413nta but i'm already attracted to the worst fucking nations anyway and I just began experimenting with blood magici actually am a trash man, i live and breathe low tier
>>486811292I was mostly referring to LA TC, though in general I don't think I know what I'm doing when expanding anyways. The only way I can hit 18 provinces by turn 12 is as Ubar with their Jinns.
Why does population matter?
Anybody have a good tendie for LA Gath? I wanna be a blood Jew.
>>486930027Are you new?
>>486867402reeeehow much did it cost youmaybe I should've not had the chaff and sent in just the elites
>>486876139Magic 2 is expensive as hell when you're already going awake with extremely deep astral
>>486901187I think indies should be more active and dangerous in general and continue to recruit troops and try to expandIn short we need Legendary Mod stacks that move around

>>486939565>Strong Blood is broken as fuckIn what way?
>>486939565It's not under nature because nobody with nature would take it. Disease res 80 is effectively the same is disease res 0 so it's literally just PR that costs 50% more.
>>486940031>Disease res 80 is effectively the same is disease res 0you mean from old age right? cause i feel like it should make a difference against disease demons and spells that cause it

Sloop should un-nerf BVC, or at least make it 5 gems. Then disease would be relevant again.

>>486947001>4 cold Doesn't that do something bad even if your units like it?
>>486947092Yes but it's thematic.
>>486947001That's good. The problem with sniffle is the seasons start with spring and then summer, so you kinda struggle with giant expansion on turns 3-8. Muspelheim kinda does it better.
>>486947376They would probably want fire shield instead of blood vengeance then, yeah?
>>486946913isnt that a meme
If I'm comparing two types of archers and trying to determine which is better, what's the most important shit to consider? In this case it's enkidu archers vs. normie indie archers.
>>486950336enkidu archers blow indies out of the fucking water in every way that matters
>>486950626Thanks buddy, but can you explain why, for my own knowledge? The precision is the same, I see HP is much higher and morale is a little higher, def and prot are a little worse, and of course they cost more. What are the most key stats here?
>>486951007Their penis size, which is so gargantuan it actually manages to arouse the average woman
>>486951007>precision/prot/hp/morale/defenseAll of that is very well and good but check out the damage and remember that every point of piercing damage is about 120% as valuable as any other kind of damage because piercing damage ignores 15% protection.Do note that being bigger for archers is actually a downside all else equal in 90% of cases, it means you can't buff them as easily with point buffs or small area buffs.Also precision isn't a real stat.
>>486951352>Also precision isn't a real stat.Thanks bro, I understood your whole post until this part. Why isn't precision real?
>>486851198Bros, join MAde_for_BBC
>>486951770It simply doesn't properly work, there's fuckall tracking for movement and even at 30 precision you'll miss stationary targets shockingly oftenignore precison for the most part unless you're buffing mages with hitscan spells like lightning bolt or w/e
>>486952052Okay so mostly I'm just looking at weapon damage first, for archers?
>>486950336>what's the most important shit to consider?the damage of their arrows
>>486930389Can anybody help?
>>486952180YesRange is also a big deal, but Enkidu archers have the same range as longbowmen so if you were comparing them to longbowmen there's no big difference>>486952974take either an expander with a light bless and some good scales b/c your expansion is dogshit, or something like the holy glyph and a hellbless
>>486954670I was thinking Moloch for the memes but goddamn he's expensive.
>>486952974if you want to be a boring metafag go scales + golden rion
if i teleport an immobile god onto one of my castles and it gets sieged the same turn will it defend against the siege?
>>486956498no, you cant defend against sieges you'd have to prevent the sieges to begin withwhat it does is teleport it into your fort every time so it will never be outside of it
>>486957028ah ok, thank you
Is there a heat/summer counterpart of the murdering winter spell? The provinces I'd like to hit with this have 3-4 heat so it seems the winter one is useless but if the same thing existed except hot, that would be rad. But I am not seeing it. I'm having fun casting rituals at my IRL bro's provinces where he's massing armies on my border, in any case.
>>486957685There's no version where it scales with heat, noFlames from the Sky is the closest one but it's evo 9 instead of evo 7
>>486852383Very true.Astral mages should cast blink early game and die as it is part of the balancing factor that Illwinter designed all S mages around. Not having this early game weakness ruins the game, desu.
>>486956248Golden rion?
>>486947001Niffle Giants cost 2 holy points so you'll only be cranking out 3 per turn.

>>486967132>controlYea. Keep in mind it gets declaimed when someone takes the prov so forts are usual (unless you don't mind it being easy target for lategame magic phase attacks (later backed by magic phase forting)).>dominionNah, all throne work as their level # of temples so they tend to spread it around.
>>486967882So my IRL friend who's as much of a newfag as I am has a throne in a coastal province without a fort and unguarded because he must not expect me to be able to reach it, but I'm thinking of throwing a sea king crown on one of my level 3 priests and ambushing his ass from the water. As long as he can't react fast enough to stop me, I can seize the province and then claim throne the next turn right?
>>486969582Yeah, he will get one turn to retake it (that's why having unforted throne near major production/research hub is actually ok most of the time despite muh forted thrones) and in case he failes throne is counter as VP.Unless you're about to win (say, ideally same turn) defending it long-term will be hard, so it's more of VP play (throne rush or trying to stop the leader from scoring out).
>>486971071>he will get one turn to retake itUnless the attacker also has a Fort Spell
>>486971281>Unless the attacker also has a Fort SpellUnless defender has 5 magic phase SCs.Fort spells are relatively rare even for more serious games and anyway came late, they are non-factor for two noobs who don't know how to cap thrones.

Is there any meaningful difference between priest level 1 and priest level 2? The only thing I see to care about is that level 3 gets divine blessing.
>>48697354850 minutes per game you mean
>>486975989Does anybody here like playing smaller maps? Like say dropping from 15 provinces per player to 10, or something? Does that work well at all? I haven't tried.
>>486975962technically H2 gets smite demon for whatever that's worththeir blessing is also (a little) bigger and their banish is also a little biggerbut no there's no reason to specifically recruit h2s for triple the price of h1>>486976184>Does that work well at all?If you play Helheim or Ashdod or something then yes, it works exceptionally well
>>486976184Even 12 turn match into notable knife-fight: even getting slightly over 15 on 12 kinda forces you to go *deep* into somone's natural habitat, so expanding well *is* rushing like it or not.Anyway it's more about lategame where dominions kinda have issues with gameplay and closing out matches. Thrones with cata been step in the right direction (back in the day we played, well, untill competition conceded, most of infamous ultra-lategame hyper-tedious stuff comes from that era where you couldn't "just win").Shamefully thrones don't accelerate and streamline final showdown enough and Cata enforces safer slower plays ironically. At this this point I suspect literal sudden death would work better than Cata.I think mod to make big Dominions mp game have endgame with good flow and much interaction would be interesting project. Before that yeah, try to keep sizes lower, thrones tighter (so decisive push later in the match is doable) but it doesn't tackle underlying issues.The fact decent chunk of community thinks it wants some "epic endgame" is sad part though. Some are just got used to managing their horror factories, some don't get to endgame that much. And SP players who like their epic stuff to toy with dummy AI without much of 1/day MP time cost.
>>486976184>>486982272I had great experience with smaller maps but with faster research too (otherwise any sort of tech play gets fucked with smaller mage production and imminent hellwars, turning building into pick-your-hellbless-sacred-flavour), but for some reason I'm yet to see non-blitz use faster research.
>>486951770In large fights the battlefield tends to be packed enough that it's hard to miss. For most uses, hitting the guy next to the guy you were aiming for is just as good. In small fights, archers are almost always worse than just bringing more melee units and surrounding the enemy or getting past and hitting their backlineBetween those two things, how close archers hit to their target doesn't make a lot of difference to how effective they are in combat.
>>486983853There are midsize battles (where you target mostly small blobs and while you don't mind missing, you definitely don't want to miss too badly), shooting at static frontline in 15 tiles (where misses also risk friendly fire) and ranged duels where better chance to hit that skirmish formation quickly adds up.It's never decisive, but decent thing to have if shooting is big part of your plan.
>>486951770You should make a Precision +5 bless and use it yourself and see the difference. It is actually quite dramatic
>>486983853Also lines. Lines laugh at your misses. You're not humiliated by a formation, right?
>>486982272>Thrones with cata been step in the right directionCataclysm is dogshit, I just zone out of the game whenever it triggers
New MArital Assault JUST DROPPED
ultranigger
>>486986102undefeatedstalechampions
>>486982272>mod for better mpAlternative would be handmade maps for bigger lobbies: the primary throne issue is part where high% is slog where winner scores out a while after actually winning, low% is risk that player with good start (or just couple AIs nearby) will rush before everyone even meets him, and anything mid% is very random, so you rarely get that big push showdown and even there better play for clear winner is to snowball a little more.Zoning where there are national spaces with thrones firmly between them (and general lay out lets you to go from throne to throne) would be cool, also good place to use roads (kinda like Forgotten Realms map did).May be even do dedicated Throne Arena Stackmash plane because we got support for that already.That's relatively easy to make (you need just some set up starts and thrones and proper map designed with this in mind) solves big throne issues and even usual shit like bad throne on your circle/chokepoint. I dislike predetermined maps, adaptation is beautiful in strategy games, but at least as thing to play once in a while for maxxximum competitivness is cool. Sorta like Sneedryn and all those domg classic maps.>>486986102Sorry honey, thinking about playing Dominions distracts me from playing Dominions.

Nidvangr... Uh...
2 MINUTES REMAINING
>>487013789ON THE CLOCKDJ BLOW MY SPEAKERS UP
Ulthuan is now AI. press S to spit on him
Okay, yet another Ulm-derivative nation did the iconic Ulm thing. Dude lived on the edge and made turns in last hour all this time (and refused to double), but it caught up on him.Team Niefel, you got his password/contacts?I would prefer to sub fucker out if he doesn't come and say something in next 12 hours.If you guys are mad about disruption I think rollback is doable but would heavily prefer to not go that far. My Ulm basically missed two turns and it's allright.OAsisbros, stay strong: we almost run out of unreliable Ulm players. Almost.If anyone missed out our start and suddenly got that itch to mash hellblessed nidbatheds into people, that's your chance to shine: message me at ctisstrong@gmail.com.
yo this is some fuckin nonsenseAnd why did my dracolich just sit there doing LITERALLY nothing for two turns?
>>487015127I did the rollback, careful and don't connect to lobby please (to not override your already made turn). I'll change Nid's password and force turn back soon.
>>487015607Yeah, a bit late for that, maybe don't wait till the last second for that info next time
>>487010250>Are the Qedesim and Qedesot sex slaves for the BGC?it says right in their description their services require a fee, so they are not slaves, just prostitutes
Forcehost done, tell me please if something is off. Esp Agartha who managed to sneak turn in while I been resetting password.If Nid wants to play and just staled due to mom's sister's cat dying my contact is there >>487015127.If team Niefel wants to pick sub themselves also message me.Any wanna-be sub players also go there.
>>487016097>>487015541>>487015127wait what the fuck even happened here? What's going on?
>>487015841Yeah, I just hesitated because wasn't sure it puts everyone on unfinished (I recall there been rollbacks where everyone has to resumbit and that's lame for big lobby and not an option).
>>487016181Nidvangr staled, so I rolled turn back, changed his password (to make his replacement to not lose turn) and made turn again. All your orders stayed same (outside, possibly, Agartha).If you're not an Agartha and not Niefelheim this doesn't affect you.
>>487016514:eye:if he stales he fuckin stalesenough of this discordtroon shite or I'm going AI myself
>>487015127>>487015607>>487016097Itchy trigger finger much, you gave his teammates all of 20 minutes to respond over one stale (even if the Nid is a bitch who never doubles)
>>487017024He's Agartha and wants to redo his turn without anyone else getting to respond.
Hosting a new Warhammer game because I missed the last one.Get in here!https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/280#status
>>487016628This troon shit takes less time than just waiting extra turn for admin to set staler AI. Don't pretend it's much of incovenience.In same time is saves people from 2 more players getting fucked and probably going AI too soon.Usually going AI is one player's business, that's not the case.If you find this org shit confusing just ignore it, it's couple hours of extra delays in it's worst and I try to keep downtime as low as possible.
>>487017141Like Erytheia just did?
>>487017313I'm saying that I don't fucking trust you, you set a dude AI over one stale and instantly swapped in someone nobody but you and your discord buttbuddies know
>>487017357I didn't "redo my turn", I did my turn and came back to the thread to see that the admin had reset the turn so now I'm doing it again.
>>487017024Thing is you can't really rollback later (as people who already made new turns not gonna like losing them), so I decided to shoot first and ask questions later.Nidder is welcome to come back, his team can decide whatever the shit they want. Did this in case he just disappeared.
>>487017141Are you retarded? We know that Man is host you moron.
When the hell is LA Sparks starting?
>>487018387Never ever
>>487018387like 4 hours
>>487017416>over one staleI gave Ulm 24 hours to come back. If player can't say a word beforehand (say, about going to gay cruise), doesn't appear over 48h cycle to just say a word in a thread, there are only two variants: either he ghosted or he got in trouble. Big trouble, 'cause when I got driven off in ambulance last time, I managed to post in thread at least on next day.In this case my thoughts and prayers are with him, but I'll assume former.
>>487018691And Nidder? Or are you saying Nidder and Ulm are the same player?
>>487018801To be frank, those two nations attract similar types of players
>can't submit my fucking turn
nigger it's one stale what is wrong with you
>>487019461he subbed in a friend
>>487019238which game?
>>487018801So, how this works. To replace the player if you're admin (so you use your master password to access staler's turn) you got to switch his password first.It gets updated only on next turn, so for whole two earlygame turns his team enjoys worse-than-AI. You can't just send master password to sub player for obvious reasons. You can't make his turn or what else yourself as it creates cdkey collision.Very moment when stale become apparent and before people made any new turns is perfect time to rollback to replace password on already staled turn, kinda saving sub and Niefel team from extra turn of damage. My bad I hesitated because I wasn't sure it works like that.And in case that's not needed (Niefel got his password/Nid is back) they can just message me, say that gay cruise been so good he forgot about Dominions alltogether and I'll just ship his new password to him. All good, nothing lost, someone enjoys humiliating new password with funny racial slurs as little sentimental gift.Nothing stops me from silently replacing players with my discord sisterhood, but... that's kinda thing admins can do already. That's silly suspicion. You would never know, may be all other players beside you are trannie doppelgangers already.May be you too...
personally i refresh the blitz page oh about every 6 minutes and get mad at the same 3 people in opposite time zones for taking too longthere is a list and you are on itif i live this war im coming for you mother fucker
how do you counter wailing winds
>>487021531:)
>>487019461>just one staleWould it be better to wait till two? Three? I assume he's gone.I get being unable to do turn for whatever reason, but not having a single opportunity to say something in thread over 24h is bullshit.
>>487022157Three is the usual cutoff. You're in such a hurry to bring in a new guy it's starting to get sus, this is the second one. Who are these subs you've found? Did they come from the thread?
>>487021531High moral, kill the caster, inanimates with high moral mages, an SC that doesnt care about it
Based ironfistedmin putting antisocial stalers in their place (the trash compactor)Maybe don't join a game if you intend to stale 10 turns in
>>487011420I haven't figured any of the sabbath and communion shit out. How do I into that?
>>487022706First year stales are rather questionable but EAsparks has 3 or 4 who came back after one stale. One did die early but they played to the end.
>>487023260Basically you have one cheap mage cast sabbath slave and your rephaites cast sabbath master, then they can cast hell power without being fatigued out, and have even more monstrous paths/stats for the rest of the battle. Hinnom's mages are too expensive to have bigger sabbaths than that.
>>487022394>You're in such a hurryI would get mildly annoyed by my teammate being AFK for a single turn, yet alone fucking four. At earlygame especially, when turns define midgame and they take like 10 minutes.>subsNew Ulm is my buddy, only person I can call and say "I need sub for big game... RIGHT NOW".I still hope Nid will come back, but if not I hope Niefel got someone in mind or someone from thread will offer to be the sub. Because I don't have stockpile of decent Dominions players, you know.
>>487020292>>487022157Are you some kind of fucking puppy, or perhaps a toddler? Someone's out of your sight for slightly too long so they're gone five-ever? Or are you just a NEET that's never had any responsibilities on his mind? Good lord, man, it happens. If you can't tolerate the occasional bit of life circumstance, set a longer fucking timer.I've gotten in contact with Nid's player since we did, in fact, share contacts. He's alive. Stop jumping the gun.
>>487024131why did he stale quietly stale?
Honestly I can understand stricter staling rules in a disciples game. If you stale in FFA you only fuck yourself but if you stale with a disciples game it can kill the whole team and cause other people to AI.
>>4870227061 stale is ok shit happenson the 2nd they should just be put AI and if they want to come back its their own faultleaving in the first year because you fucked up expansion or whatever is just some retarded child shit must be embarrassing thank god its anonymous
>>487023564Just one, eh? Is it blood magic? What level?
>>487023564If I have an indie mage cast it, does that make him a shabbos goy?
>>487024416Actually staling in FFA (and being set AI) imbalances the game too, since 1 or 2 neighbours get to eat your corpse for free and others don't
admin is a fuck I'm going AI
>>487026412Which game?
>>487018621You could set a start timer.
>>487024131>NEETFunny, I would say inability to communicate or plan ahead is NEET thing. Oh no, daily thing I commited to month ago happened again, I didn't expect it!>tolerate the occasional bit of life circumstanceI been hoping to play some domg disciples for a year, give or take. It just never happened. I even helped with maps for Legendary, game I didn't even adminned: I just really fucking wanted to play disciples.I get that imageboards are not the best medium for team-based game and mode is gimmicky, but I'm domg veteran and I like this place.So yeah, I'm bit neurous because it's important to me. I wouldn't bother making anything otherwise. I try to make quality lobby.And I'm just really worried that after one guy stales his team gets sad and also stales and then their neighbours get sad and also stale. I've seen this happen in usual matches.So I waste time on fast damage control so lobby doesn't ends up in AI hell and maaaybe people will see disciples are pretty fun and we can do them once in a while, you know.It's cool if you got in touch with your teammate and all good. Message me at ctisstrong@gmail.com with some minor proof you're not random shitter or tell Nid to do that. I'll send his new password and will be finally free to shoot people with defenders while posting about RP1 shamans once more.
>>487026538OAsisI'm gonna go ai on turn 24
>>487027289Ok Xibalbanon, do you mind moving of your throne before you do that?
>badmin admits weakness and enjoys somethingoh fuck fuck FUCK i was on his side before how do i switch FUCK FUCK
>>487027561Do you side with retards that ruin every game by going afk then AI, or the host that tries to mitigate retardness
>>487028232i side with whoumstever the thread thinks is more based at the time
PERHAPS THE ANSWER IS IN THE MIDDLE
>>487028592yeah the middle of my buttocks ;)
>>487027154Anon, I'm also a domg veteran. I have contacts. I could ask Malakal himself if I needed to. I was admin of Legendary Disciples.If we needed a sub, I'd have asked. We already arranged a temp sub for Niefel several turns ago (and back to the original player since) while he was out of town.
>>487029695>I was admin of Legendary DisciplesWas there a third legendary disciples game I wasn't aware of, or do you mean the original legendary disciples game?
>>487030952I don't remember which one, I just recall spending some thought on if I wanted to include the module with the prisoner's dilemma.

I wanted to do a Sparks Andromania with the animal autobless god that would bless my whole army but it seems pretty underwhelming compared to something that could win battles by itself or give me some other boost.Well maybe I could have done +10 Str instead of looking at Fire Shield and the other one.
>>487029695>MalakalYeah, he's on my friend list. I guess another way to deliver password.>We already arranged a temp subThat's the reason I assumed the worst: if team most well-organised failed to catch stale and temp sub it, then probably it's rogue no-contact player going out.

is there a way to test your battle for next turn in MP in singleplayer?
>>487038827poggers?
>>487039223yes with the debug mod and a whole lotta autism.not worth it imo. especially because you dont learn to be a better player like that.
LA Sparks is active. Go go go.
>>487039620im looking to test my army against a specific level 2 throne and its just time consuming to replicate in SP with the amount of throne variation and placementthere is no way to just copy the turn file and boot it?
>>487039620>especially because you dont learn to be a better player like that.not him but what?>>487040235You can't do that because you'd need everyone else's turn too
>>487040168he submitted? activate it.
>>487037548Then you surely will do it and upload?
>>487040335what what?
>>487040597how does it stop you from becoming a better player to be able to examine battles in-depth and test multiple approaches and scripts to the same battle?
>>487040913Not him but I agree it's nice to test some stuff you have no clue about early on, but late game the battles can be wildly different depending on what the opponent does formation and scripting wise, so it's not going to be very accurate
>>487040913It gets you in the habit of not being confident about your moves unless you test first, which gets increasingly harder as the game gets more complex. Plus with how many variables there are in the opponent's scripts, even if the sim looks great you could still lose horrifically.
>>487041260That doesn't matter, it teaches you about how the game works and therefore makes you better at itwith testing you can try to figure out how to deal with monolith thrones without reading a guide
Enchanter is the most fun class in conquest of elysium.
>>487041485>it teaches you about how the game worksThat's his point: it does not. It let's you to try stuff outside the game until you find solution which works.Dominions skill is ability to estimate and predict, to take a look at monolith and come up with solution, not bruteforce it.
>>486962145Giants are big guys.
>>487042743And once you find a solution which works, you now know the solution which works.>Dominions skill is ability to estimate and predict, to take a look at monolith and come up with solutionNo, it isn't. It's the ability to get the solutions for the problems you'll face into your hands before you need to face them. None of the problems in Dominions are hard to solve, the hard part is needing to start preparing the solution before the problem becomes a problem. Everyone knows Poison Ward and Serpent's Blessing stops Vapors, but you need to have it ready BEFORE Ctis shows up, and if you don't have N paths you need to start recruiting indies for it before Ctis is in your face.
>>487043232And seeing FV stack and testing bunch of counters to it will help you to hire N indies 20 turns ago exactly how?
>>487043060for you
>>487043531It won't, they're two completely different things. One is just knowledge, the other is the actual skill.Seeing FV wipe your the fuck out the first time you test against a Ctis stack won't help you with the latter, but it'll help you with the former. You start looking through the list for counters, and the testing mod lets you test for efficiency if you don't have Serpent's Blessing and figure out how many N2s you need to reliably cover 300 ulmites instead of just randomly guessing without any knowledge or experience. It's a way to rapidly get experience with the battles themselves, so you know how many dudes an Eater of the Dead can be expected to eat.

>>487051875All done.Thank you and god bless bestmin
Wait a second, you can change your admin-given password. There been a whole game where I logged in with "dicksquid" as R'lyeh after forgetting password and asking for admin's help.
>>487051965Okay, I'm starting again. Sorry for the hassle, everyone.
>>487051939>and we have nid's original password if you could put it backYou can do it yourself, I contacted shady man who presented himself as Muspelheim. Hope he gets back but you know how it is.I still don't know what happened with Ulm: he was a little odd, like the plays and few comms he sent. Just disappeared. My head canon is that he was that guy who comes from time to time and says he been playing SP for years but can't man up for MP. He finally gathered his courage but pressure been too much and he run away. Good job, SP guy, at least you tried!
>>487052980Seems thats sorted thenGuess Ulm mains have the reputation for a reason

Hello sars, how do I get gud with MA pythium, this is my pretender, tips and tricks appreciated.
>>487086515You may want to drop your paths back and go for more scales, Pythium has good mages but that's a big bless for essentially just your mages.
>>487086515Unaging is neat but what if you can just afford to make more mages with more cash?
is there any mod to reduce build times for forts? This is pure cancer compared to 5.
>>487094864first fort should only be 3 turns after turn 12 so that if you fail expand you dont just get rushed and auto lose
>>487094864>wahhhh I need a mod for things I don't like>next I'm going to expect you to use it too every time I join multiplayer
>going AI on turn 3Nigger.
>twiceborn mages who die to old age/disease keep their disabilitiesI'm about 70% mad.
>>487100581Why would they not keep them?
>>487100261I failed my triple expand please understand.
>>487100261>going AI on turn 300Understandable!
>>487101059Perhaps a skeleton might have proportionally less issues with with their muscles.
>>487086515I like the earth and astral paths, gives access to coins, golems, matrices, ring of wizardry, etc. E2S4 on a titan with full slots should be sufficient to get coin, cap, ring of sorcery, ring of wizardry, earth bootsPR5 is nice, many mages have died in many games from one's own poison cloud unitsFar Caster and Arcane Finesse, they're good, but expensive. Some astral combat spells have range 100 already, giving communions something to do in most case without the range boost. Not sureUnaging would work well with Recuperation, since Recuperation doesn't work on Old commanders. Gift of Health could also work with Unaging. Should be especially profitable for mind hunting and recovering from being feebleminded. But, would you be able to get Gift of Health up and running? How would your nature income compare to other nations in the lategame? Recuperation would also benefit angel and your pretender, but expensiveScales look painful. I've heard rumors that dumping temperature scales to get Growth is a net negative on average. Turmoil and Misfortune is not a good combination, Turmoil gives more events, and you don't want more events with Misfortune, you want fewer eventsYour human mages are generally squishy, and you probably will want some of them on battlefields. A lot of people like Enchanted Blood + some amount of Undying, like 4xUndying. Enchanted Blood and PR5 works well togetherHow does Enchanted Blood work in communions? Does it make communion slaves survive damaging fatigue in less severe cases? You could run some test games against easy AI and see how your communicants fare with and without Enchanted Blood when having too many communion masters relative to number of slaves. Also test expansion, while you're at itHeroism might help your mages research a bit better over timeHow will you expand? Hydras? How will you survive or win the first wars? Scout enemies and pick early research targets carefully, do stuff like Body Ethereal on your hydras?
I can't beieve c'tis fucking died.
>>487103090E3S5 is also for wrath of God, but yeah coins, caps, and matrices is good, might empower a lar him to become the dedicated matrices coin person though.PR5 is for making use of Hydras, but getting the Hydras buffed has proven a real pain with the ai targeting weirdly I think I'll drop Far Caster and Arcane Finesse yeah, the idea was maybe to communion and and evoc spam but this has proven hard to make use of, since the first round is wasted on communion the enemy gets close anyway.Unaging + Recuperation sounds real good actually for the mind hunting, then on top of that it makes my titan less useless for more aggressive moves, might try thatScales are pretty poor yeah, I take heat just to avoid snow mostly, maybe in d5 it was better but I always dump temp.Theurges got 5 fortune teller, so I'll probably avoid the worst lab crashes, but yeah in practice I'll probably feel the hurt from that, but I don't wanna go luck with the heroes being as underwhelming as they are.I thin in d5 it used to be anything not +3 luck is kinda underwhelming anyway.Squishy mages that get instakilled by an arrows, hp regen doesn't really help them when they get in those situations imo As for communions I think that hp regen doesn't counteract exhausation above 200+, I think for every point over that you lose 1hp or so? They die fast once they get there, at least that's been my gut feeling, might test.Generally I just use communion slaves for the path boost, theurges don't burn them out too much if it's 2-4 slaves per theurg.Heroism is an okay bless for bless points you don't know what to do with I guess.Generally I expand with gladiators, some meme assassins then hunker down until I can get some basic research going, pretender helps with that a lot, if I get rushed I can get up my pretender and gladiator spam, once I get to mid game it gets a lot easier I think, with the mind hunt, the wrath of God, the communion slaves, lars with matrices doing howl and such.
>>487105286>E3S5 is also for wrath of GodA2 S4 Arch Theurges can cast Wrath of God natively with a ring of wizardry that you can take off afterwards
>>487105571That's true but it does come in a bit late around con 7, and it's 80SCompared to b-lining for evoc 6
Does the fucking patrol bird spell not work if you're not actively patrolling with your own troops? I have the birds literally along my entire border with asspoodle and he still managed to sneak in 5 carrion lords.
>>487105286>E3S5 is also for wrath of God,Do you mean A3S5? Wrath of God takes air path, not earth path
>>487106931Yeah I meant air, mb
>>487105286>Squishy mages that get instakilled by an arrows, hp regen doesn't really help them when they get in those situations imoUndyingX4 would make a blessed 10HP unit be able to survive 17 points of damage, and Enchanted Blood would, assuming no more damage, let it regenerate back up eventually, as I understand it. Without the Enchanted Blood regeneration, they'd die at the end of combat, since they aren't undead, and living units with negative HP die at end of combat>As for communions I think that hp regen doesn't counteract exhausation above 200+, I think for every point over that you lose 1hp or so? They die fast once they get there, at least that's been my gut feeling, might test.The Dominions 6 manual says that a unit takes 1HP damage for every 50FP fatigue above 200FP fatigue. If a unit gets xFP, where x is less than 50FP fatigue above 200FP fatigue, it has a probability of taking 1HP damage equal to xFP/50FP. Such that a unit has 60% of taking 1HP damage if it lands at 230FP fatigue, since 30FP above 200FP is 60% of 50FPBut the manual could be wrong, there may be more to it than this, or I'm misunderstanding itUnits dying quickly might be that if the master-slave ratio is high, or paths are mismatched, fatigue just accumulates very quickly. And if the slaves don't accumulate fatigue at the same rate, one slave dying will lead to the rest of the slaves shouldering more of the burden, possibly leading to a cascade of dead slaves in some situationsFor communion slaves specifically, if you have a Lar with a matrix, Personal Regeneration should work for Undying instead of Enchanted Blood. But that would only work for the communion slaves. Unless you instead get Army Regeneration up, which is late in research
>>487105286>>487109539One issue with Wrath of God is that it can be terrible diplomatically, even though it can be great defensively and for weakening most other playersYou can do grand communions as MA Pythium, right? Wrath of God is probably even better then, more difficult to dispel if mages are used with it
Do you think Enchanted Blood tastes different? Like, would a vampire prefer blessed or original flavour? Haha just like hypothetically speaking.

>>487124382Sabbath slaves ya fuckin doofus
>>487125074I still don't really get this even after it was explained earlier.
>>487127753Communions, chorus, and sabbaths do multiple things but are functionally similarThere are 2 distinct types of spells strictly for communions, master and slaves.You can have multiple masters and slavesWhen a slave cast communion slave spell, they are mentally locked to being a slave, they can not act, nor they can move, they're 100% dead weightWhen a master has enough slaves in powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 slaves) they get a boost in their known magic paths equal to the power (8 slaves means every master has a +3 to ALL of their paths. The cap is a +5)Every time a master casts a spell, they split the fatigue cost with every single slave equallySo if you have a master cast a 100 fatigue spell with 9 slaves, everyone will take a 10 fatigue hitWhen a master casts a self buffing spell (personal ironskin for example), every single slave will also get that buffOverall, communions are an extremely powerful tool that can backfire I'd you do the math wrong, make sure yo have backup plans

Dominions needs a LA "Ermor" faction based on all the Third Rome claims of real life, just a bunch of Italians, Balkaneers, Germans, Russians, Finns, Middle-Easterners and so on, and if you try to mix and match them they kill eachother before any battle can even start.
