The Wheel has turned once again.Around Zotz, Worry Lots 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y (embed)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: >>492538770

What if instead of squabbling, we built towers?

Sloop's is the best dom5/6 modprobably everIwalked in this general and I said "Wow. This is such a great general, mostly because of their house mod. But wow, what a great general. I love this general. It's a good general"Sloop's makes dom great again
>local deranged poster refuses to stop, leaving a trail of mind bogglingly stupid posts in his wake
>>492763762WE ARE COMING TO RAPE YOUIN YOUR TOWERAT YOUR CAPin the general?NOIN THE GAME
>>492761035>Resources and recruitment points were also scaled.Caps generally aren't gold bottlenecked for more than a couple turns in either game. It is typical to recruit troops from additional forts early in the game. For some nations, caps will never be gold bottlenecked at all outside a total economic failure. The claim that bigger indies means everyone needs precisely 40% more gold to expand is also highly dubious, considering dominions' highly asymmetrical warfare.>You have more money to spend on forts because your forts are pushed back multiple turns. This is not a value add.It's a value surplus, which isn't a value add, but can cause additional forts to be built while you wait for your current forts to finish nonetheless.>The gold availability was also increased to 140.Do you know how inflation works? The gold value of a gem increases due to gold supply increasing and gold's usefulness decreasing. Trading 10 gems for 100 gold when both strictly equate 14RP can be argued fair, trading 10 gems for 100 gold when it takes 140 gold to buy 14RP can not. Gold's availability increasing means gold-based research can be sustained in a similar scale, but it doesn't change the fact that gold is worth less research.>You have a ragie calling people fucking idiotsBig difference between calling out a shitposter and punctuating every sentence with insults, even if you currently want to convince yourself otherwise.

Kinda disillusioned after finding out SCBM is just the golden calf of a steam circlejerk ngl
>>492765392you were never gonna make the morale check in the first place, it's shadow cabals and trooncord groups all the way down
>>492765392I WAS THERE WHEN THE MODS OF POWER WERE MADE ANONI WAS THERE!AND THE GREATEST ONETHE PUREST ONETHE ONLY MOD TO HAVE GRACED THIS GENERAL IN ITS MAKINGWAS SLOOPSWOULD YOU PREFER THE NIGHTMAIRSH DARKNESS OF VANILLA?THEN EMBRACE SLOOPSIT IS OUR MODTHE MOD!IT HAS ANON BLOOD AND SWEAT WOVEN INTO ITS VERY SYNTAXEMBRACE
>>492768025its our mod! (its actually slopcord's circlejerk mod)
I honestly haven't noticed the steamgroup in the OP everwhat the fuck are we losing our minds over this time
>>492769561sloop haters get the bullet first
I am soooo hyped for natgen
>>492763762Magic duel bait if I'm being honest
>>492770374same we are so fucking back, it seems much more coherent than it has ever been
>>492770374Gonna be a fun time. Lemme also make one last shill post: the first dom 6 NATION GEN game is recruiting! For the unfamiliar, the game is otherwise completely vanilla but the nations have been entirely replaced with procedurally generated ones. There's always a few lame nations with boring humans, but in general the selection is far more exotic and wild than vanilla nations. And it usually leads to fun and unique games. Join up! We'll be starting tomorrow.https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/324#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/324#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/324#statusAlso, I'm considering generating like a dozen extra nations and adding them to the mod for more variety. We're already at 13 players and I haven't even picked mine yet, so it's really 14. I feel like a lot of the coolest ones have been picked already which might discourage late joiners. Let me know if you'd enjoy a small infusion of more nations.
>>492773575I'm all for generating extra nations, maybe even more than 12 if you feel like it
>>492773575honestly looking through what's left, they are kinda shit, definitely should make a few new ones for any late comers
i do wonder if another pack would start from the same id and cause a conflict
Is there any sci fi themed equivalent of dominions? I heard the guys behind this were taking notes from MOO, but I kinda fail to see that many similarities.
>>492774369A space exploration/colonization game based on DOminions might be really kino. Maybe even some kind of Alpha Centauri thing
>>492774141If you generate a pack but include the existing seeds you can extend it.
>>492773575I was excited for Glyunak.Sacred anyfort fire resistant invulnerable mind blaster Illithids wielding a magic meteorite glaive, formation fighter so 2 in a square even when enlarged to size 7, and the mages looked awesome with F/D crosspaths, S/B randoms and recruitable D2, with slow to recruit caponly D3F1+randoms Illithid light SCs.Unfortunately their had paper protection and invulnerability didn't cut it either. I tested both something like larger/berserker/prot+5 and larger/undying 5/regeneration and the sacreds just died to chaff after they were done blasting.It's still pretty cool just by being a skellyspam + mindblaster nation but eh.
Blitz?
>>492773679>>492773760>>492774141Sounds good to me. There's no need to worry about conflicts: when the program is given a seed, it always generates the same nations in the same order. I just put the original seed in and told it to make 65 instead of 50.Anyway, the EXPANSION PACK is now live on the server page! 15 new nations for the perusal! For the people who already uploaded a pretender - don't worry, everything is exactly the same for you. It's the exact same mod but with 15 more nations on the bottom of the list. I only looked at a couple but they already seem super cool, either natgen got way improved or we stumbled onto a god tier seed. Enjoy!
slops this slops that, i just want to do my turns
>>492778012>shark time>doesnt have any fucking sharks
>>492779272They're really good at bar games
>>492778012Very cool
new candidate for coolest sprite? Graphics aside, these guys seem amazing since A4 is at the sweet spot where you can naturally boost to A6. Insane levels of air access.
>>492781056actually this whole nation seems amazing. Cool sprites, good mages, solid but not too overpowered sacreds, universal but low impact national trait (poison skin)...legitimately could be some new vanilla nation of poison muuches.
kek
Seasa is uh a little overtuned haha
>>492770359We get bullets? Like for free?
>>492782246still weaker than samsa's
>>492782246yeah dust walkers are cool but do suffer from pretty premium prices. 57 rec points is obscene, that's even more than anakites
kino
>>492782672wait those are human statsif only we had real giant elephant knights
These guys can shapeshift into frost fiends. That's fucking awesome.
>>492783187And their other big mage start battles with an air elementalAnd their sacreds turn into earth eles when they die
>>492781573more for the comedy series
>>492783364thats actually pretty kino, keeping the elemental theme throughout
This description is actually fucking funny. natgen learned how to write jokes...
>>492781573Well, he is a dual-wielder.
>>492775141Ok, I got them to work.I'm in
>>492787352Hell yeah. I like their completely mindless slave chaff too, that's kind of neat. Seem funky but overall flexible.
>>492786381he's not, hence the attack penalty to both his fists
>>492764234>It is typical to recruit troops from additional forts early in the game.Last time I mentioned you're supposed to get first fort up by turn 12 or so people considered that a trolling and eventually went to ask most recent winner to confirm.I myself find 1000g forts being much harder to queue while the extra turns hurt and other infrastructure is pricy too. Unless you're on monster you will have to compromise to save up.Yes, income is higher too, but on cap+some it's less noticable and your earlygame budget is absolutely worse than in 5.Troops weren't directly buffed (while indies were), so in a way they are also subject to gold inflation: 1000g of troops in 6 is less than 1000g of troops in 5. Ratio is not as radical as with mage costs, but still you're supposed to spend more on them.
>>492783393Wow Natgen generated the historically accurate Jewish knights. Kino
>siatssith, spire of iron>their guys are heavy armor lizardsKINO KINO KINO
>>492789061is that you blitzmin
>>492789061vgh even their sacreds are awesome...a little fire res and they're immune to basically every element...
>>492789597>str 10:(
>>492790002It's okay hammers have +7 damage and can do piercing
>>492790092>meleeew
>>492789061>flail armoured slavenice
>Dimhisene: 40 gold B1s, the cheapest mage I've seen in all this and one of the best cheap X1s out there. Plus, they're element-resistant humans. These guys might be something.>Cihuattlan: Anyfort muuch-shambler sacreds, I guess. Healer priests, temple trainers, shamans with sacred ancestral spirit bodyguards. >Seasa: Dustwalker sacreds, net-wielding spammable troops, reanimator priests, all mages are useful. If the gold cost weren't so high, the regenerating human chaff could be something.>Kopippu: I'm a fan of the random X2 mages. I'm also a big fan of the stealthy heavy armor greatsword lizards. Both big X3s being anyfort is also nice. There's something to this nation. Easily missable: Temples make gems.>Platnae: named shark time, no icthyids, 0/10. Actually, no, I'm a big fan of this one all around, between the anyfort sacred minotaurs, dual wielder colossi, and seducer priestesses.>Omarhamn: Oh, this is sick. Anyfort X3s in multiple paths, drain immunity, super cool wyvern knight sacreds. The asmeg are relatively cheap for being baby jotuns.>Zerani: A4 base big mage, worse daeva sacred from the other mages, theses guys are just okay.yeah there's a lotta kino in this expansiongotta say though, way too many random B1 sacred commanders and too many drain-immune nations
What are thug nations supposed to do when thugging is so bad now?
>>492793417Platnae is awesome because their mages+seducers are great but all their non-hoburg casters still have berserk. Your giant cap only caster becomes a raging beatstick if he takes one stray arrow.
>>492793913Thug in defiance of the gods.
>>492793913Don't play thug nations. Good job, now you're a step ahead of all of us suckers who are still thugging.
Seraphine winglocking
thuggers be like "nooo i cant kill 1000 units with ironskin and a gss thugging sucks now"
Anyone else want to come natgen? 15 might be good to start with
>>492798687it looks gay and retardedly balanced #never join natgen#always join slops
>>492799442I joined both. I join everything. I will play sub-optimally since I'll forget what's happening in any given game and never leave until I'm fully dead.
What's natgen? I could join, but not sure what that does.
>>492790002The two handed flails will more than make up for it I promise hahaha
>>492799880It's mod which generates sick random nations for you to play. Unpredictable metas and interactions, more of improvisation over preparation, silly balance.
>>492799754based funhaver king
>>492788128Wait whatI thought dual-wield penalty was relative to weapon length. Did illwinter change that in dom6?
>>492793913Muspelheim's thugs did pretty well during the blitz.Though they were probably closer to impoverished SCs.
>>492800719maybe there is a minimum? or maybe the fists have a -1/-2 attack stat
>>492799880>>492800223It also generates random national spells for you which also throw another monkey wrench in, its great fun as long as you understand there is no "balance" to speak of or worry about
>>492800870a 700 gold slow to recruit cap only is way beyond a thug
>>492800880>Attackers with multiple weapons have their attack skillreduced by the sum of their weapon lengths.From page 63. There's gotta be something else causing the penalty, though -2 att on fist seems weird.
>>492801040think that's magicgen, natgen mostly just gives one line (onis, ocelots, tengus, shard wights etc) from your primary race's
>>492801040>>492801206Magicgen was awesome>Batsummon like 7 giant banes
>>492798687I'm burned outta domingos
>>492801206>>492801297Yeah, you are right. Magicgen was fun
surely magicgen will update soon too, right?
>>492799754>never leave until I'm fully deadI was with you until this part. I leave after I lose my first battle.
>>492802667>not wasting time when you already solved matchMost wise.
>>492764234>>492788576I don't know if I like the description of inflation here, though one could describe it as inflation, because while a lot with gold was scaled, not everything was scaled, and a number of other non-gold things as you mention were changed, such as indie strength and fort building times. And gold-related events, both gold income increase/decrease events and one-time gold giving/costing events, were not changed, while I don't know whether the frequency of events was also changed to try to counteract the gold amounts of events not being changed.If absolutely everything related to gold had scaled the same, and everything non-gold had stayed the same (latter making things easier to analyze), it might be possible to still describe it as inflation, but it would be a cosmetic change. By scaling everything gold-related, I mean all prices, all incomes, all upkeeps, all events, all starting gold amounts, all gem-gold conversion rituals, all sites, everything.Curious, looks like many throne sites had much larger than 40% changes for gold.
>>492764234>>492788576>>492805027I don't know if I like the definition or usage of "inflation" in real life economics, since to me (I admit that it's been years since I learned about it), "inflation" is often used to describe several different phenomenons that have deeply or superficially related systems, causes, behavior or effects, but often are fundamentally different.One example of inflation is a government printing money, and then either spending it or giving it out to other groups. Basically increasing the cash reserves of one part of the economy's actors. This in turn makes them less willing to work for low pay, meaning employers have to increase wages, meaning prices rise to pay for the higher wages, meaning most things rise in the economy. What doesn't rise is the cash reserves of everyone else. Assume that the government prints an extreme amount of money equal to 1000×current cash in circulation. The cash savings of everyone is then completely hollowed out, both individuals and companies, in some ways effectively having the government tax to oblivion the cash reserves of everyone not given the printed money. Apart from making some people and organizations impoverished, this in turn makes people not want to save up cash (no trust or faith in the specific government and state and society), instead trying to have whatever property put into other assets than cash, forcing a greater degree of bartering/trade-through-non-cash instead of much easier and faster trade-through-cash, and people can also try to get foreign cash as much as possible instead. Which in turn can have severe effects on the functioning of the economy, apart from people being affected by the fact that much or most of their property was taken or stolen from them by the government in an extreme and crude act of taxation through printing money.
>>492805258chatGPT looking ahh
>>492805258shut up commie you won't convince me printing money is good
>>492805901not him but that's what the federal reserve already does, all the money you have in your hands is just debt produced from thin air
bat nigga aboutta stale in oasis sars
>>492807219He almost staled last time too, but made turn in time. Busy with bat business!
>>492805901>>492807128I didn't argue for printing money, I argued against printing massive amounts of money relative to the amount of existing cash.Federal Reserve of the USA is a different and political topic.
Which camp do you belong to:1: I want my sacreds so good they don't need a bless, but it's nice I can give them one if I want to.2. I want my sacreds to good but overpriced if I don't take a bless.3. I want my sacreds to suck without the right bless, but be good with it. Filter retards from picking my nation.4. I want my sacreds to suck even with a bless.5. Ulm.Personally, I go for the first option. I'm exploring scales TNN right now.
>>492808583I want my sacreds to be female and hotthat's my only requirement
>>492808583I want my sacreds so good they don't need a bless but I will give them the biggest I can to truly make them unstoppable
>>4928085833. Kind of sucky but cheap sacreds make the most interesting platform to build a bless on.

xibalbros not like this...
>>492814631oasismin he's doing it sideways
>>492814631Probably, yeah. I hope silly xibrat just felt asleep and will come back tomorrow. If he will stale again some harsh measures may be required, Xibalbas are on the rise and while EA is weakest of them he's quite relevant to the match. Did you even see their graphs? Wild stuff.Xib Family, you got his pass in case he xibdied?
>hosting takes a minute instead of half an hourholy
>>492816661what happened
>>492816729we paid our blitz tax to blitzmin and he fixed multiple bugs
>>492816769oh shit you're right the OOOOOOOOOO is gone
>>492773575Joined as Tamarvi. I think it would be fun if we played a few games with the same set of nations.
>>492763231Stop posting
>>492816661If we blitzed right now I could fix another bug.Actually I need to fix a bug due to the second real blitz last night, anything particularly annoying I should fix?
>>492817498I've never blitzed before. How long does it take?
>>4928177322-3 hours
>>492817732Depends. Two hours to six depending on players. Last night was a five player blitz that went for about five hours which was unusually long for the player count.Its kind of a given that players will go AI as real life steps in
https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/331#statusHere's server.Its sloop, with score graphs on and research set to easy.If any of that is contentious tell me. Its just how I like to do blitzes.
>>492818132I cannot join this time
>>492817914>about five hoursYou mean the one before you fixed host time issue? Hosting basically doubled the time, we could do in 3h for certain.I even managed to shop for groceries once between turns.
>>492818912That blitz last night was after the host time got fixed, though the timer went up to 15 minutes for the latter part of the game so it was definitely much longer than typical.
>>492818132Two so farJOIN ANONSONEGAIIT'LL BE FUN I PROMISE

Access to graphs is a gem gen. You should be shrewd, maybe even exclude yourself from the graphs so people don't know what you know.Knowledge is power.
>>492819324its 7am and i have been up for 24 hours chief, im seeing spiders
>>492819753And the spiders will see you soon if you don't join.
>>492819579I've got nothing left for the name for my prophet. Hopefully I think of something before we start.

>>492821251I've spent like an hour staring at the pretender screeen trying to think of a new pretender to try and ctis already has a fairly healthy selection.I feel like if you actually categorize pretenders certain categories are huge, like "awake expanding monster" with a billion entries and even with sparks you can't really get away from that core identity.
>>492818912one of the players would take 3x as long as everyone else to do a turn
>>492818132Can we have a sloopless blitz?
Looming hell actually did something that turn. A single raid for 150 blood slaves wooooooow
>>492821767If its what I have to do to make you join
>>492821498I genuinely despise monster pretenders, they have no place in the game except as conj 8 summons or somethingThere's like three or four exceptions and the pig takes up two slots by itself for being based and epic

how long do you niggers need on your turn on turn 14
>>492828312Ctis has at least 3 forts, and I don't think he's been last to submit yet.
>>492829047Years of blitzes perfected his micro skills. People there are lucky he finds normal games boring.
>>492829186I wonder if I still have ai_speedrun_any%.webm laying around here somewhere
sup niggeryou planning something?
>>492829047t. C'tis bragging about himself
what is THE naba build
>>492829382Not particularly. Just ran out of indies to kill.
I have been playing ctis exclusively for like six years and I still do not know ho to research.Am I missing something really basic? 9rp/fort turn for shamans and reborns or 15rp/fort turn for sauros and I'm consistently bottom of the research graph. Is this really such exceptionally bad lab rat lineup?Taking magic doesn't even seem like a good idea, its expensive as hell with a pretty mediocre scaling.
I'm about to claim the final points I need to win. Throw everything you have at each other, this is the last turn.
>>492829987>Thought it was blitz>Checked throne out of panic>The thrones are T3 instead of T2Uhoh. Three thrones to win. Guard your spring hawks anons
Ur here. I'd like to thank Jomon for being even slower than me. Really takes the heat off.
>>492830253They're almost dead, I think
>>492830474lol?
>Vulture bumpOops
>>492830781THAT KILLS PEOPLE CORAL
Holy shet look what neklatu found
uhhhh TNN this isn't some advanced ploy by me just so you knowone of my old ladies went to Hell but came backis it possible to extradite her
Sorry yomi. I just wanted to test it.You may carry on with your war.
>>492829930Shamans are one of the better labrats in the game though (maybe not in blitz enviroment).Try putting your tendie on research sometimes, magic is literally +10% RP or so per scale.
>>492832469>200 ghoulswhat the fuck?
>>492832615Arouse hunger spamLike five casts of it.
>>492832503>magic is literally +10% RP or so per scale.Its +1 innit
>>4928328909 RP base makes it +11%
I've played all Doms PPP through 5, but I haven't revisited them much in the past years. Is 6 worth it? What's it bring to the table?
NOOOO YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD SHE GOT HOME FROM HELL
>>492833052>is 6 worth itAll MP scene is always on latest one.>What's it bring to the tableRelatively minor one, just some new nations and sizeble rebalance. There is theoretically cool multimap support, but as far it's very halfbaked feature which will need year or so of polish and then quite an effort from modders.
>>492833280>and then quite an effort from moddersIts been like two months and we're still playing on biddyn anon.Its OVER
So who is the threat
>>492833350Dominions 6 been released close to year ago at this point. And yes, we still play biddyn.
>>492833224I was wondering why you attacked me in such a random place.
joo biddyn
>>492833475Yeah this was a hag that got lost on turn like 6 from an event
What
>>492833612T-thanks for coming
>attack Yomi>atlantis attacks me>beat back atlantis>attack Yomi>Ctis attacks me with ghoul the same turnWhat the fuck am I looking at dude
>>492833751you just know
>>492833929Sorry anon, I'm just poking everyone with ghouls to see who bites back
Who's winning
>>492834339do you have like 30 death income or something? You've cast arouse hunger like a dozen times
>>492834460Its 8 gems.This thing is surprisingly cheap.
>>492833929>Expand>Don't attack anyone>Nobody attacks me>Not really sure what to doPeople help you know what to do when they attack you.
>>492834503yeah but that's still like 100 death gems for ghouls
>>492834537I just want to unga it out with a fellow giant SC nation man people are constantly starting shit with my giants
>>492834542116 actuallyIm going to go home now, be careful what you do with those giants
>>492834194I just know what?That niklatu will avenge these poor souls!
Please.. Illwinter-sama.. I'm running out of death gems.. I need those to fight off niefel giants..
niefelheim is getting serious this turn
Well I'm fucked.
>>492817475hmmm... no#neverjoinslops
Fug too many lammashtas
>>492835547Sorry bro but hitting there looked like it was clearly what I'd want to do in your position. Too clearly.
>>492835547Thot destroying the fat ugly bastard
>there are no nations who get +1 luck and have a +luck tendieNone.
>>492836000They don't stack anyway.
>>492836097So how do I get to 5+ luck? Celestial Rainbow?
>>492833486wake up
>lammashtasREEEEEEEEE
>>492836687Frightening, aren't they?
>>492836463events and sites
>>492836463Yeah.Events and sites too.Trone of Luck helps too.
I gotta leave in like maybe 40 minutest. Niefelheim
>>492837125Okay, let's just say whoever claims the first throne wins.
Oh god
disaster for the lizardsIt's cold 5 bro wtf you thinking
>>492837250I FORGOT
lmao this naked serpent dancer is falling asleep on the spot
so why does Ur even have male commanders at allseems kind of pointless
>>492831937what does "spell: control the undead" mean? It already has a cast at start of battle so that cant be it. Just allows the wearer to cast it?
>>492837971Yeah. Just gives the commander access to the spell. Costs 5 fatigue to cast item spells as well if they hasn't changed in dom6.Oh why did I leave my sauromancers at the front of the square scripted to advance and cast spells.
>>492838043it wouldn't have mattered unless you were banking on a fear routyou got like 6 turns before every one of your dudes fell asleep
>>492838116That's because all the sauromancers were casting ghost grip instead of horde of skeletons rofl
>>492838135based lmaobut that's ok because starting from this turn you no longer have skeletons
>>492837954To sex Inanna obviously. But memes aside why do you say that?
>>492838248Oh don't you worry anon skeletons was last turn's strategy.I'm gonna have to extend next turn to eat dinner, sorry
>>492838427idk they just give off an extremely strong girl power vibe in general and the game is sorely lacking in girl power repSauromatia and Feminine are the only others but Sauromatia's workhorse mages are m*le and Feminine is an Ind descendant and also all their mages are old and non-sacred
>>492838510sorry anon but girls arent powerful, even swedes are willing to acknowledge this
TNN here. I might or might not fall asleep at my keyboard any time now. Apologies in advance if I do.
>>492839148That's because Swedes are cucked as fuckreal men like powerful women with the ability to explode heads from miles away
>>492839226>Goddess has a dreama about you cheating on her>Explodes your head when she wakes up
>>492839302I accept my fate because she is my goddess and she knows best.
I gotta go blitzminsetting my dudes to storm but I'm going AIthanks for the gameall lizards shall be refrigerated
>>492839407Thanks for playing.
>>492838510>they just give off an extremely strong girl power vibe in generalI think the enkidus and their other units are pretty strongly masculine. Is there a reason other than Inanna why you say this?
>>492838510>>492839842I really want to play them with the Shedu tendie but he's completely inferior to Nanners
>>492838510>they just give off an extremely strong girl power vibe i?????Ur always struck me as a race of very hairy demi-giant.
>>492839842>>492840245Mostly because of Uruk I guess where their giga communions are just a bunch of girls chanting
Who sent Ur a diplomatic request? I missed that and had to end turn because I was out of time.
>>492840916Not me. I didn't even know you could do that.
What the mother fuck Jomon? How did you manage that?
Badmin I need more time this turn pls
Forget complex tactics and scripting just let oni unga bunga in turmiol 5.
>>492841646Extended
>>492841674amawojakus xddd
>>492841674I kneel, senpai. Thought I had you on the ropes and here you are.
>>492841674yomi SEEMS cool but i dont like how if you lose a fight your game is basically over since you cant recruit more dai oni
>>492842113Yomi is cool as shit but it is extremely finnicky nation because income penalty in EA and unrest spreading demon is a recipe for perpetual poverty. In addition your research is garbo because primitive forts in Ea. At least, choas power was effectively buffed because it goes to +5 now.
>>492842740yeah I guess you need to convert gems for money
I hate elfniggers like you wouldn't believe
I NEED to have my cock ripped off by Nanners bros
>>492843138I'm going to guess that you're Atlantis.
>>492840605>>492840245>>492839842>>492838510>>492839148Ur is mostly men in powerUruk is equal in powerFor every commander there's a NadituFor every pointbuffed ensi leading a charge into battle there's a ereshdingir leading a communion in the same battleUruk is true equality where everyone has a purpose and powerquit thinking in girl power or boy powerstart thinking in putting aside your differences to help anna become the one true god
>>492842740Okay bro wtf are you doing? I don't understand how you just started gaping my ass out of nowhere.
>>492844056hax
>>492843810>For every pointbuffed ensi leading a charge into battle there's a ereshdingir leading a communion in the same battleThere honestly isn't, Ensis are pretty good leaders and have some decent utility but they're hardly heavy thug material
>>492844207Lore wise anonGameplay wise Uruk is hyper feminine
>>492844351Is it even true lorewise though? The Temple of the Moon has utterly subsumed every other aspect of Enkidu society to the point that Ensis are basically just petty mayors, I wouldn't be surprised if Ensis had to KNEEL to the local Ereshdingirs and Naditus
I haven't eaten all day and it's dinner time
>>492844056The average oni might be a naked retard but they have high stats when in turmoil and hit like trucks with a second ethereal form making them surprisingly nasty. Ur's troop are also not great.
>>492844623The ensi are priest governers and have powerful positions in societyThey're not the priest kings of old powerful, but they still have a lot of authority to swing withSo much so that they're swinging their authority at each other before the pretender popped up and united them all
Okay, last turn for TNN. Enjoy the AI doing whatever AI does.
>>492843810I was just shitposting m80
>>492845169Same for Ur, I think. It's been fun. I'll have to do another of these sometime.
Arghhhhhhhhh AI nieflehiemMy brain ran out of brainpower 20 turns ago.
>>492845528Did my AI kill you or something??
Jomon, cheers you japnigger
>>492845710I threw sauroamncers at the AI stacks without looking for seven turns and when I looked back the stacks were still there. So I think so.
>>492845726Cheers, it was fun fighting you dude.
>>492845824basedget iced
Your plagues were funny btw but when I AI'd (so after 6 plagues) not a single one of my niefel giants was diseased, only rimvaetti
Atlantis consider yourself the winner since I am going AI as well.
don't think i will
>>492845914Yeah after you went AI I started giving them mr pen gear. Got a bunch more of the giants but it was more a parting shot since it would have taken like 20 turns for the diseases to kill anything.Fighting giants is a lot of fun, its a shame I forgot about the whole "niefel is a cold 5 nation" thing.Its funny because I've been super paranoid about fire damage after every time I've gotten my ass handed to me by fire evos and fire elementals, I took 10 rFire and figured "that's yomi's stupid rocket launcher demons sorted- we're good!" and stop to think about sources of cold damage.
hOW DO i BUILD ma aTLANTIS
>>492845825I keep saying Jomon but yeah Yomi wtfever. Let me know later what happens with the rest of you.
>>492846229everyone went AI so I'm just going to deathball a few turns and look at battles
>>492846196u ok
>>492846432would be nice if blitzmin removed the time limit for the last remaining player so he can take his time to try things out etc.i was the last remaining player in the blitz yesterday and felt like trying out stuff but it was annoying to race against the time so i didnt bother.
>>492848865If he's still lurking maybe he would do that?>>492846432Still killing Ur? I will root for you now that I'm no longer behind the wheel.
>>492850003I quit as well, don't particularly care for AI games.
>>492851408I still don't really understand how you turned the tables on me so quickly and completely.
is it just me or are lightning evocations the kinoest?
>>492824423>>492824423>>492824423>>492824423Still only got three niggas in here.
>>492851614Maybe if it was better age more people would join?#neverjoinEA
>>492851592You should've seen Ma Man during dom 5The thunder strike chorus communions was something straight out of a movie
>>492851614There have been quite a few EA games lately, I am already swamped myself
>>492854134Well...that is dildos.Tbh I don't even have a preference for EA specifically but I got raped the last time I tried to play EA Pyrène and I wanted to give them another go. I feel like they might suck but I want them to not suck. Anyway I apparently just missed the boat on an EA game before I posted mine.LA Pythium has been my favorite nation so far. Their gameplay clicks for me and their whole theme and aesthetic is top shelf kino.
today i learned that theres two different arena deathmatches, one where magic is allowed and one where it isnt.
>>492858940
>>492862824goooools?
Fix yo tendies
>>492864283>I CUM BLOODisn't that a Cannibal Corpse song?
Sloop saved /domg/
you love t see it
Might just win me a game, will break my mult year losing streak haha
>>492866271>we wuz CASTLE BUILDERS N SHEIIIIIITTTT
>>492866271if it werent asspoodle that'd be a pretty devastating fight but he's got like 2 more stacks of the same shit on the way. hold fast my nubian kang!
>>492801297>>492801480magicgen is confirmed dead pretty sureThe guy who made it doesn;t even really play dom anymore and he said he had to decompile the executable to figure out a lot of it
>>492866271:(
Thoughts on Gathering Sturm? Specifically new nats'n'gameplay changes?
>>492867603Yeah man, because he's sporting berserk on these minotaurs and centaurs he still managed to kill my pretty much everything even after HP rout, so Pankoman is gonna cut me down real soon. Game sucks ass, Apshodel is bit op even in vanilla, my other two neighbours are AI.
>>492871002>Apshodel is bit opYep
>>492866271Wow, dey really wus kangs n shit.
>>492870392qrd?
>EAtyourheartout>has Sloop's>7 tendies>pEAce_on_EArth>#noslop>3 tendieshmm...
natgenmin, i'm going into withdrawal, i need my fix
>>492878123Well you're in luck, I just finalized the map. Here it is. Game will start in ONE HOUR. I noticed two players have the same key which hopefully won't cause any real issues.
>>492878436might be one guy changing his mind on nations and not being able to delete the previous tendie?
>>492878119If 7 out of 10 people sucked dick, would you do it too?
>>492878559I thought that too, but normally people who do that mention it in the thread. Anyway if it turns out to screw things up I can quickly unstart and restart at a worst case scenario.
>>492878436lucky that we have a hour, i forgot to put in a password and it doesnt let me switch out the tendie, care to bump the current one off?
>>492878580>If 7 out of 10 people sucked dickit would be gay not to.
>>492878998Sure, there you go. This better not be some bizarre 4D trolling...
back in, thanks
>>492879412well this is the only thing i can think of to prove i'm the original
>>492879736Yeah no prob, if you're back in it's all good.
>>492878705Maybe both pirated it from the same place and didn't change the key? It shouldn't be a problem as long as they do before putting in the first turn
>>492878119>>EAtyourheartout>>has Sloop's>>7 tendiesyeah also eatyourheartout is a failed blitz lobby whose admin appears to be so inactive in /domg/ and blitzserver that he cant even be bothered to close his shitty failed blitz lobbyLMAOsloptards are so retarded
>>492880643shut up nigger
>>492881232hahahahahha
>>492879359That's only if the dick is feminine.
And...NAT6EN has started! Go go go! Good luck, everyone!

Congratulations to Bats on winning the game, it was fun although i lacked opponents due to being locked in one continent and ghosts being annoying, game needed less UW players and more land players.Other than that huge GGRus blood vengeance + regen is a fun bless combo that allows you to clog the lines with beefy free upkeep summoned bears and i was very happy with it this match. Ive also gotten insanely lucky with death sites, they allowed me to first recruit death 2 mages and then with sitesearch i found a site that allowed me to recruit death 3 mages +2 random, that was my ticket for magic diversity and later on lichcraft. Not to mention that ive gotten +40 death gems per turn from sites alone.
>>492870392Seems very interesting, id love to play it
>>492893841>i lacked opponentsBlame Niefel for dying in front of his pc without going ai first.
>>492870392>gathering slop
I've had more than enough of this retard, bye
>>4928949164chanx sisters.........
>>492874371Content mod from the same guy who made the big sprite overhaul mod, and incorporates same visual style. Some rebalance shit, few overhauls for nations like Berytos and LA Pythium with new units, smaller changes to other nations, small roster of recruitable units from each nation's capital if you conquer it, plus few nations for each era. There's some funky shit like EA Macedonian elves with side of thracians, MA Carthage, LA nation of fossilized rephalim, or LA Ry'leth-style lovecraftian/Robert W Chambers/cultistsim land nation for MA, and some more meh shit like big german line of nations nation that is like a baby of Marignon, Ulm and hoburgs, MA human weebs that are more proper predecessors to Jomon or YET ANOTHER Ermor splinter nation.I've never played with it, I don't super fancy the sprite overhaul in general. Could host if there's an interest. Not sure which era tho.
>>492896598I think LA has the most content/new nationsIf you hosted i'd join it for sure

>>492897075Actually nevermind, MA seems most fun
>>492892765THUGSISTER... ARE WE BACK???
>>492893841Thank you for that. The best decision that I made in this game was not fighting with you and instead asking for a non-aggression deal. That, and agreeing to Kailasa's peace treaty, let me focus on attacking Caelum. After that long, cold brutal war, I was in a good spot to vie for the mastery. I got messages from you and Kailasa concerning the future, and I agreed to both, and took a few turns to boost up my research and look for a reason to attack one or the other, but the answer was already right in front of me the whole time - Kailasa had at least 3 thrones under their control, and they were much closer to me than any of your Thrones were. That, and them sending me a threatening message, decided my course, and the offensive against Kailasa was on. But they seemed to crumble, less from the actual strength of their armies and mages but from their master deciding it was Over from the start. I have a longer writeup but just want to say now, you and Caelum were most righteous and I hope in the future we team up again, or have a good war.
>>492897469I will join, downloading mod now
>>492896598>LA Ry'leth-style lovecraftian/Robert W Chambers/cultistsim land nation for MAIt's part original Chambers part Cultist Simulator
>>492902946>But they seemed to crumble, less from the actual strength of their armies and mages but from their master deciding it was Over from the startHalf of my army was diseased from the start you retard nigger, i would have crushed you to cinders with my full strength army. Enjoy being hard carried by Rus. From now, i'm killing every bat, elf and russian on sight, subhumans don't deserve peace.
>>492893841>Congratulations to Bats on winning the gameYou should celebrate too, you did the most effort to give bats the victory after all.
>>492902946Thank you, likewise
>>492904431Lmao i just realized you had a covenant site in your domain, maybe if you werent such a retard you would be able to heal your diseased commanders lmao
>>492905331>Lmao i just realized you had a covenant site in your domain, maybe if you werent such a retard you would be able to heal your diseased commanders lmaoYeah, a because a healing site would have expelled all those harvesters of sorrow Rus had camping all my citadels, you annoying drooling retard. You won the game, lets leave it as that, but to tell me i would have done anything to prevent losing is you just being annoying. There's nothing i would have done to contest your full scale army, since all my production, income was done for, and most of my mages diseased or dead.
>>492904431I decided to be merciful to you when I agreed to your stupid, weak offer of an alliance. I knew that I could give you -1 dominion, and chew your nation all up, but since I was warring with Kailasas and other monkey nations in other games and doing well I decided to give you mercy. I wonder if you ever had a chance against me in that game, I don't really think so though
>>492907826>I wonder if you ever had a chance against me in that game, I don't really think so thoughAt the point you decided to attack me full force i was already lacking gem income due to Rus stealing my oak, i was lacking income due to all my citadel provinces being destroyed by those invisible AIDS fuckers. All i needed to kill all your army was some chaff and one of the fire guys casting fire storm and fire guard. I decided it was over because at that point i didn't even had money to recruit chaff, and the fact i had to deal with 1 faggot doing all in his power to fuck me up from the other side of the map alongside your full scale army. The last "alliance proposal" message i sent you before you decided to kill me, was a desperate attempt to buy some time to finish off helheim and dealing with the AIDS pandemic by casting "Gift of healing", but since you already had plans, i didn't had a chance. Congratulations, you won the game, 2 v 1, but still a victory.
>>492908643Also, the map fucking sucked cock, this has to be the worst map i have ever played.
>>492878119>EAtyourheartoutOh thats my aborted blitz from like a month ago.I should probably archive that.
>>492908643I could have attacked you at any point, including when you were fighting Helheim, and won. Better luck next time Kailasailure
>>492893841Yeah that map was... scuffed.I'm a new player and this is the first game I entered with a bit of a plan. I was honestly lying my ass off to everyone in messages about who was working with me and who wasn't, just to spread disinformation. Managed to get Pelagia and Kailasa to help me bully the squids out of existance ASAP. After that I wanted to turn on Kailasa quickly as I saw the bats wage a war with Caelum, and the map was so awful there were only two entrances into the cave and Kailasa wasn't attacking them.Unfortunately while I elf'd them, I should have just kept elfing them instead of trying to be honest and fighting - I figured I'd do well into the soul-slay engine spam that Kailasa had, but what I didn't realize is that all Air magic is ass except for spamming air elementals. I should have just kept spamming them instead of trying to t-strike...To be frank, I just wasn't sure what I was doing by midgame, but I did learn a lot this game, so thanks Kailasa! (Even if you are a bit of a rudiepoo).Congrats to the bats!
All my neighbours are going ai except the one I want to (asspoodle), is anyone dealing with this pizza shit or do I have to? I know machaka was fighting him but he seems to be overrun
>>492916230Everyone fighting Asphodel has fallen.
>>492916812SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP NERF THIS FUCKING NUISANCE NATURE NIGGA ALREADY
>>492918267No one besides Machaka tried very hard.
>>492918470>it makes sense for me to win a 4v1 because most of them weren't trying very hardKILL
>>492918575Three players fought him. One he's lost three stacks to trying to get into the cap (Machaka)One lost a single fight to him and went AI (Shinuyama)One got killed by another player entirely (TC)The rest of his neighbours made no attempt.
I told you guys so many Moons ago that Asphodel was OP
>>492918775>Ind decided to attack me with his OP priests instead of asphodelonly the smartest of players join domg games
>>492914621You did really, really well for your first multiplayer game. Just take notes and apply them to your next game, Helheimanon
>>492919174I'll deal with the plants (if I ever get a border to them)
>>492916812>>492918267bro all the AIs are attacking me and I have lost thousands of freespawn on machaka's capThings are not going well in the black dryad harem let me tell you>>492918470this was not me>>492918470Shinuyama attacked me for a single turn, lost, and went AI. His Ai is attacking me still Tien Chi attacked a single province then got assraped by Nid. I attacked a couple of Naba's provinces with a token force. Ind and i had an agreement then he went AI and now his AI is attacking me.NABA is obviously threat mongering. He is huge and winning all his wars
>>492914592>I could have attacked you at any point, including when you were fighting Helheim, and wonYou're literally boasting about winning a 2v1 war, and i'm the failure? You are like a DEI hiring that it's convinced that it's place is deserved. I wouldn't hate you if you just won without trying to lecture me about "shit i would have done", you have no idea how HARD the game was for me, all while you have basically a free game down there (underground).
>>492918775>One lost a single fight to him and went AI (Shinuyama)based
>>492914621>entrances into the cave and Kailasa wasn't attacking them.You probably would have loved that, so you could have attacked me while i was at war with them, right, faggot? I'm not a new player dude, i'm already past that stage, and as one of the mediocre level players, i know that in this game people tends to rush 2 kinds of nations; the weakling, for free real state, such as Kailasa; and "the menace", strong races with hellbless pretenders or races that gets extremely annoying for everyone in the game if left alone (R'lyeh).
>defeat TC>get your god back (yes, I lost him to fucking indie attack)>he returns with -1N so no Oak plan anymore even if you could live with delay>current threats are Na'Ba and AsphodelUh, I don't like fighting either...
>>492926349I'm sure you will still have fun since it's my first naba game anyway
>>492924995>i know that in this game people tends to rush 2 kinds of nationsThose are correct considerations, but better reason is to fight someone you would hate fight later (that's FFA, you will). Big blessess with strong scaling (summons etc) are good target.
>>492924995Uh honestly I probably would have attacked Caelum because you worked with me and were neutral with me, dunno. I didn't know shit about Kailasa until after we started our war. I just knew I didn't want to get mind-hunted by R'lyeh.
>>492914621you are the first person to say lightning bolt is bad
>>492930750nah it has a pretty tepid reputation in generalthere are definitely other people who think it is bad
>>492930750Lightning bolt is good, t-strike is ass.
>>492928149>Uh honestly I probably would have attacked Caelum because you worked with me and were neutral with me, dunno.Nah, you probably would have attacked me, since you attacked me without provocation, you even took some turns to setup your stealthy army in 4 or 5 of my provinces (half of my shit). If i was a shitty player, you probably would have won that by a landslide since you had the initiative.That, and lightning bolt is a really good spell, it shines against giants, but you need to send a good amount of casters, not 1 or 3, you moron.

I'm sorry bros, I can't go on.
>>492932289Looks like blood trash is taking itself out.
>>492933154Blood is unironically too much work. Illwinter should buff it.
>>492932289The hell is that fire damage message
>>492933525Ordeal by Fire, it dings your mage for 2 DRNs of fire damage every time they spend gems in the lab, and sets them on fire if they spend gems in combat. Basically does nothing but annoy the fuck out of everyone in the game.
>>492933715Oh, blood mages exempt, of course.
>>492927280>Those are correct considerations, but better reason is to fight someone you would hate fight laterYah, and for some reason in the same game, i was ganked early and almost lost to elves (i would have lost that war if i didn't unlock vine ogres in time to serve as front liners), then some faggot that got a free game half map away decided to fuck me up with 100+ gems worth of harvesters of sorrows (just to piss me off because i killed his arena contestant and casted mother oak before him [to survive]), then the same elves refused to go AI and dilated the lost game more than 15 turns, just to hide his pretender and go AI, finally the bats that got a free game underground decided to finish me off (for some reason the underworld on that map was half as huge as the land part of the overworld).> that's FFA, you willI have played FFA games, and let me tell you, this was the most bullshit FFA game i ever played.
>>492933910>for some reason the underworld on that map was half as huge as the land part of the overworldThat's default cavegen for you, it's nuts. I'm not sure if Xib is big winner of cave plane changes, but when it generates huge it's definitely an issue.
>>492932289Lanka is basically unplayable in big games. The only time Lucid has ever subbed out mid series was in a winning game with 40~50 provinces, and even his sub complained about how long Lanka turns take.
>>492936846wow if lucid can't do it noone else can!!
>>492937172The guy makes money playing dominions, him getting fed up is a pretty good indicator.
>>492937420>The guy makes money playing dominionshow?
>>492937701Youtube channel and patreon
>>492938157So he makes money by being a niche eceleb, he doesn't make money playing dominions (being good at the game).
>>492937172desu he's the only one with a pbem lanka win on youtube so there isn't any other point of comparison
>>492938471No one makes money by being good at Dominions, so your point is moot.
>>492939356>No one makes money by being good at DominionsExactly, that's why i asked "how". When someone tells me X makes money by playing Y, i assume he's a very good player and earns money by playing at a pro level.
>>492939710>i assume he's a very good player and earns money by playing at a pro levelThat's a weird assumption for a game without any proscene. Looks like you try to downplay referencing streamer (which is closest we get to pro) as "not pro enough".
>>492940251>Looks like you try to downplay referencing streamerNot at all, i don't know him, and i bet he's pretty good, but he doesn't make his money playing dominions, that's a misleading statement.
>>492940251Not him but you can't seriously fucking think the youtuber who quite literally gets shit for free from discord buttbuddies and spends more time talking to other players outside of the game than actually scripting or sending messages in-game is the epitome of dominions skill
>>492936846>40~50 provincesThese are baby numbers. As of last turn I reached 75 provinces, 22 forts, and more troops than every remaining player in the game combined. I'm a few turns away from a 5th cap, a 1000/turn blood economy (I am still in the process of setting up more fucking blood hunters while fighting 4 wars at once) and 100/turn raven feast engine. I could realistically get a lot of thrones by eating mictlan, sauro, and AI agartha, but by then I'd have well over 100 provinces to apply a blood economy to and that's simply too much autism. I just wanted to spam ethereal werewolves and dakinis at people in this game.
>>492940570His core content has been dominions for years. It's probably not that inaccurate to say that Lucid single-handedly represents most of the dominions multiplayer content on youtube. Illwinter had him make the trailer for dominions 6.
>>492941326the trailer sucked though
>>492941704It didn't just suck, it was cringe. The fact that it happened is cool though, because Lucid's probably one of the most devoted dominions fans out there. I doubt he makes any real money.
>>492940695I find more likely that person with established record of playing to win and verifiable success is good player, than just taking someone's word for granted. Playing a lot already corellates with skill, probably.>sending messagesDiplo is bullshit and heavily depends on other players even in less set up scenarios. At times your first target sends you all the gems he didn't spend to repel you, at times he tries to annoy you as much is humanly possible. We're not free from diplo and that brand of human factor even there.Unless you got strong point (like if it's common practice for Lucid to get free shit in degree notably different from baseline), which I bet you don't (judging by your assumption that playing with friends is some sort of cheat code).
>>492942006The most questionable thing I see Lucid do is under-scout because he's too used to/too easily gets information through other players, but he meets of the criteria of a veteran player in terms of well designed pretenders, good expansion planning, good mage scripting, and so on. It can still be argued he has a streamer/discord admin halo that prevents people from being as aggressive or underhanded against him though.
>>492942583By the end of D5 he was getting dogpiled in every game.
>>492942583>streamer/discord admin halo that prevents people from being as aggressive or underhanded against him thoughI just run tiny channel to and my experience with our games is reversal of that: people know all my moves (because I show them off, duh), they assume me to be the threat from get go, they conspire to attack me and then I try to give them advice how to do it better.While in the end it's probably easier than /domg/ because low average player level; setup itself is pretty disadvanageous. Not sure about discord admin halo, maybe that's more of factor for discord sisterhood, but I suspect it to be a stereotype. Only time I played on discord we had much faster and precise diplomacy, but it's just medium without fundamental difference.
>>4929420061. fuck off ESL2. it's a FFA, so people randomly sending you huge loads of shit is, in fact, cheating3. communicating outside of the game is cheating as well4. go back to discord
>>492944606What are you doing in domg, community full of ESL, irrational moves and in-thread comms? Fucking newfags.
>>492944606>it's a FFA, so people randomly sending you huge loads of shit is, in fact, cheating>communicating outside of the game is cheating as wellWhat /domg/ games is this anon playing? Clearly not the ones I'm in.
>>492944606>it's a FFA, so people randomly sending you huge loads of shit is, in fact, cheatingGame allows it. Not cheating.
>>492944960Maybe because we're infected by discordniggers yeah>>492944876>community full of ESLnot before dom6, Indian>in-thread commsPublic communication is fine since it's basically just shouting into the void>>492944995t. asks buttbuddies on discord to send him free shitfuck off nigger
It only becomes cheating once it moves to steamchat.
>>492945134discord PMs are literally the same thing as steam chat just on a different platform
>>492945079You sound like a jeet. You don't need to make up excuses just because you lose every single game. The reason is simple: you're a low skill monkey with a tiny brain. If people aren't sending you 100s of gems a game, then you're not playing it right.
>>492945358>a jeet>says the dude who forgets to add articles to his sentencesliterally the #1 indicator of being some shitskin ESL is to not know when to use definite and indefinite articles>If people aren't sending you 100s of gems a game, then you're not playing it right.I won't join your server, faggot.
Deathbasketing AIs is ethical, but deathbasketing players is indeed a blatant opportunity for people to cheat. However the /domg/ game format doesn't work to begin with once you start expecting other people to cheat, unless you just don't mind if they do.
>TRIPLE AI in EAting>ubar and muspel stalingIt's legitimately literally over. Seriously. Genuinely.
Not playing to win the game is cheating. Cheating yourself, if you are about to die sell your gems sell your research boosters! you shouldn't die with a basket to give.
Smasher
>>492945847>Lanka, Mictlan, and R'lyeh were the same person all alongHe played us for fools.
>>492947107>play three nations>complain about microAbsolute state of multiboxers.
>>492945919If I've decided the game is in an unwinnable state for me, then there's no reason to continue playing endless futile turns. On the other hand, if I can get a bit of utility out of kingmaking, then that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to maximize my personal utility when spending time on my hobby. Sorry, I just am.If I did otherwise, I'd be cheating myself.
R'lyeh knew my 6 fire/turn protection payment was going to end and his extortion-based economy would fall apart. Sorry R'lyeh.
>>492947107The game was rigged from the start...
>>492945079>not before dom6, IndianI still have people added there decade ago on my steam friend list, you silly 6 tourist.
I kinda wanna blitz
>>492914621>is that all Air magic is assI never thought I'd see those words in that order with the only exception being air elementals.Isn't winds of death still air? I know wailing winds got moved to glamor for... some reason... illwinter couldn't be assed making spells for their new school so they just cannibalized the existing paths, fine.Tstrike's still pretty good innit? And wrathful skies? Mass faggotry? Fag warriors? Or did the mistform changes neuter it? I thought that was just about preventing prot buffs.
>>492940882>100/turn raven feast engineHow the fuckI've tried raven feast a few times but the scaling on it sucks so bad
>>492950886>I know wailing winds got moved to glamor for... some reason...Wailing Winds isn't just normal wind it's supernatural screaming on the wind, if they have to have Glamour then it's 100% Glamour
>>492951139>but the scaling on it sucks so badt. plays with pussies who never get a real meat grinder goingdom6's bigger armies mean it's easier than ever to get good RFs
>>492951990But magic IS supernatural.
>>492829930You need to expand and fort quicker, and site search fir indies that dont take as much infrastructure, and yes take magic.
>>492952948I start my first fort on like turn 3 usually.AIEEEE HOW MANY FORTS DO YOU NEED ME TO MAKE
>>492933910>and casted mother oak before himI cast the mother oak first and you've stolen it from me
>>492953387>I cast the mother oak first and you've stolen it from meproof? i used the bare minimum amount of gems for my oak ritual, and i'm quite sure that i was the one that casted the first global spell. Anyways, that doesn't justify you going full autistic against me. You didn't play to win, you played to make me fail, you're nuts.
>>492952196Yes and noBut I meant that the screaming seems to be literally directly affecting the minds and morale of the enemy troops while not affecting your own at all so it honestly feels more like an auditory illusion than anything else
>>492954153nta>you played to make me failthis is based
>>492955230>using FFA strategy game as toythis is lameif you don't play with goal to win (efficiently or in suboptimal manner) it's basically SP
>>492955167That is internally consistent.The real problem with glamor to me is that you have these themes for crosspaths already, like death + air meaning miasma, water + nature meaning swamp magic, stuff like that.Air + nature represented that fairy stuff, and they basically ripped out air+nature crosspath and made it into glamor, but of course there's not enough air+nature to make up its own path, so then they ALSO just went down the list and picked out even more spells one by one that were fine where they were and made those glamor as well, just to fill out a roster that was only made out of poached spells in the first place. Luck's another good example of that. Whats that got to do with glamor? Well I suppose if you stretch it enough you can say luck is influencing fate which is a human concept which means there's an interaction between that and senses which means...
>>492950886>Tstrike's still pretty good innit?it has 50 fatigue and gifts of heaven tier accuracy now, its way worse than other equivalent evos
>>492955630Nah this is unironically part of strategySpite is a powerful force
>>492955631Glamour is the generic "lol fairies" paththe real problem is that half the spells in the game are that alreadyGlamour is clearly a research school and not a magic path of its own
>>492956206Glamor being a school called illusion would have made way more sense, yeah.Still not really necessary.>Glamour is the generic "lol fairies" pathWhich was fine as A+N.I mean no one is arguing in favor of glamor here right? I guess I'm just swaying wailing winds "for some reason" is really "the reason is self inflicted, and thats frustrating"
>>492956056It's still global range strong single target + aoe frag/stun.
>>492956728>strong single targetbut it wont hit that single target, and any given mage can only cast it thrice at most
>>492951139Each blood hunting province generates 300-600 corpses per turn. A 250 or so corpse province produces 8 death gems. A 500 corpse province produces 12 or so death gems. Lanka can make raven feast casters for 25 air gems by giving a winged helmet to either an A3 raksharaja or a dakini. I already had 6 raven feast casters farming an average of 10 to 11 gems a turn from a blood hunting province each. If you have a bad air income or less hunters you can get a bit more value by having each raven feast caster alternate between two provinces, so they can pile up a second turn's worth of corpses between harvests (more than that and you'd be fighting against the speed of corpse decay). With 75 provinces I had a lot of air gems, I could cast a lot of raven feast, and spark maharishi lanka gives you as much chaff as you can stomach scripting, so setting up blood hunters to farm corpses from is no issue either. I actually AIed in the middle of a phase of rapid blood economy scaling, I was going to be setting up another 10+ hunter province per turn for the next few turns, and those could have corresponding raven feast casters. This is the kind of shit that drove me to AI by the way.My goal was to put up a ridiculously overcasted Foul Air in Ur's Mother Oak slot after capping them, using Ubar's Ordeal by Fire to rape the mage core of everyone in the game, but then I realized that even if everyone is diseased I still needed to get 10 more thrones, and that I couldn't bear to do another turn of economic micro, so I went AI.
>>492956936When I tried it I think I was doing black death and expecting a bajillion gems but didn't get very many at all. I guess it works better for blood hunting due to the log scaling instead of massacring the whole province in one turn.
>>492956936Did you consider not making more econ micro if you already got that badly ahead? Just stop. Don't even pick up your virgins. Just go and win.
>>492957119The choice was between playing in a way that felt incredibly suboptimal and playing in a way that was incredibly time consuming, and both were highly unpleasant.
reminder to do your turns
https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/332#statusBlitz.......?
>>492957285Oh, and even if I chose to be suboptimal, I still had to move 6 gorillion undead, high holy raktapatas, and so on, which would be both suboptimal AND time consuming. I really just dug myself a whole I couldn't get out of by picking the wrong type of nation, and the wrong type of pretender for that nation, in what was obviously going to be a big, long game. It was a genuine misplay on my part.
>>492939356>No one makes money by being good at Dominions, so your point is moot.No one makes money by being good at Dominions, so you just agreed with his point, bro.
>>492957516Is it just me or are these things always EA?
>>492958365Its just you anon, we play MA bitzes all the time, please pay no attention to the lizard behind the curtain
>>492958426Is MA the usual favorite here? It seems like a good balance but so far I've found both EA and LA have more kino nations for my taste.
>>492959087I'm not sure. I suppose its really different strokes for different folks. I personally only play EA since I don't like MA C'tis very much, but MA has a lot of cool unique nations like MA Ermor that makes it a draw.
>>492958249That's like saying that someone is bad dominions player because he "didn't place well in Dreamhack 2018". It absolutely worthless statement, unless you believe lack of tourney with career players means all dominions players are identical in skill.
>>492959181Are we talking about skill or money?
>>492959170You only play EA and you only play C'tis?
Might need an extension on Overload. I got very drunk last night and struggling right now
>>492957516yes let me get out of bed and grab coffee and food and ill be there in 20 minutes tops
>>492959534Typically yeah. I did play MA Ermor in dom4.
>>492959579Based. I miss getting drunk. I'm an oldfag and my body can't handle it anymore, so I just don't make friends anymore since I lost my social crutch.
>>492959087same, MA just seems dull compared to EA and LA
>>492959579how much?
>>492959418We started at claim Lucid isn't good player because he doesn't actively earns money by playing, so skill I guess. It's fine to say someone is streamer and not real talent, but this implies better avenues to show off skill and we got none.
>>492957080A big plus of blood hunting is you're not expending resources just to kill pop, you're doing something that's already worth killing pop, and just generating extra value on top of that. You can also easily manipulate the amount of corpses you want per province through how many hunters you put there. I think the 400-500 area is the sweet spot, after that the amount of deaths per gem gets questionable, less than that and the amount of air gems per death gem gets questionable.
>>492959817Who are your favorites in EA and LA, anon?
>>492960158Ubar and Lanka for EAPatala, Ragha and Andramania for LAThey have a lot going on and can do a lot at all stages of the game, with strong units and interesting themes
>>492956936dudes be like "my micro got too complex"my brother in christ, you picked the nation
>>492957516https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/332#statusblitzzzzzzzzzzzz anons
>>492960517Well yeah, it was a misplay. Like I said in >>492957529. I basically cornered myself into a situation where I couldn't finish the game, by generating way too many manual tasks to deal with. It's probably no different than just lacking the APM to win in starcraft or something.In hindsight, I had given up on winning back when I asked for a sub. I've just wanted to keep the engine running as long as possible, but it had long reached the point where keeping the nation running was too taxing for me to actually do necessary expansion warfare to win. In my defense though, the mod also changed the way the nation works in a way I wasn't prepared for.
>>492959087MA and EA >>>>>>>>>>> dogshit > LA
>>492959087The best era is the one in which R'lyeh isn't cancer.
>>492960397I want to try Ragha. Any tard pointers for build?
>>492961110Why do you hate LA so much? Just curious.
I wish magic reanimation bonus wasn't so crap.
>>492961312Is there such an era? I'm not a big fan of seeing them in any game desu.
>>492961459it's just boringall the cool shit is gone and the only things left is bloodniggersthe number of cool and based nations in LA can be counted on one hand
>>492961908>the number of cool and based nations in LA can be counted on one handThe number of nations at all can be counted on one hand
>>492961908>the number of cool and based nations in LA can be counted on one handList them for me. Again, just curious.LA Pythium is my favorite in any era so far and I also enjoy Gath, although I think I am doinitrong.
>>492961102I'd also like to note, I don't think I would be able to beat the stronger players in the game without putting in a lot of effort. I think the stronger players in the game are prepared to deal with big blobs of badly scripted undead chaff and holy/blood mages, and I don't have the energy to add the necessary scripting to those blobs to fight them. The AI might genuinely do a better job than me.
>>492957516join it bros...
>>492961348honestly i mostly played them in singleplayer>get a bless for the zhayedans, cant go wrong with regen+extras>make sure you can still recruit them with your scales, get heat, try a few times and see what you are bottlenecked by once you have your cap circle, resources or rec points>the commander version is your single cap only, all your big mages can be recruited from anywhere and can do communions, blood or astral>you can cast wolven winter with a tendie to get the caelians>with your summons (https://illwiki.com/dom5/caelum-line-summons) you have access to every single pathbeyond that, just go wild with buffs,evos, heavy cav, gryphons, blood, elephants, demons etc

LAmentations bros, I don't know if I can continue on this gay ugly map. Why do badmins do this?
Fuck outta here buddy
Fuck IN here buddy
>>492966410just came to say hi
There's going to be Gathering Sturm+ Sprite overhaul game, as soon as I can be fucked to host it and get some map. Will also throw in MA Fomoria and LA Eriu if we play either age, cause they look high effort enough, though I'm not sure about balance. What era do anons want?
>>492961348Heat give you excellent (and expensive) sacred and good troops but mediocre mages.Cold give you good mages but mediocre troops.You can technically switch from one to the other by casting rituals but it's not really convenient.>>492962657Troops and mages becomes (un)available depending on the climate.
What does the decay effect on the bane blade do? I can't see any explanation in game. Is this thing cool?
>>492967482It rapidly ages victim and inflicts damage when over old age. It's meh (MR saves conditional DoT).
>>492967586Thanks anon, looking to kit out an assassin so I want immediate results.
Shortest horror story ever.>>492967704Note that baneblades themselves are decent early gear. It's magic weapon with okay stats. They make much more sense in sloops, but if D gems/crafters are your only options you don't get to pick. If you mark is super fat but low MR they may have a niche.Most assassins get some better starting gear than low-end craftibles though.
POVERTYBROS WW@
blitzmin youre making your turns so quick.... i cant keep up and i feel bad but the ghostly micro management is intense....
>>492969473Its okay, take your time. Let me savor your ethereal tears.
>>492968910Yeah I've got a few elements including fire, which I think has better early melee. I'm playing EA Ermor, so nothing cool like the serpent kryss but not bad. A pair of burning blades is probably better if I've got some fire gems though (and I do)
>>492970289Burning blade is much better. Even single one makes more damage than 2h baneblade.

>>492942006>common practice for Lucid to get free shit in degree notably different from baselinewhat did he mean by this
>>492945704>>492947518Death basketing is sort of balanced for the times when someone backstabs you and gets a big advantage breaking a nap or betraying you unexpectedly. Or does some really gay frustrating strategy. Then you can even that out by sending someone else gems.BUT if people are just doing it for no reason, then I think it is kind of lame. Like giving your friend in the game 100 gems is pretty unfair to someone just playing normally. Diplomacy is a big part of dominions and it can happen normally too. It's just kind of lame when there are coordinated out of game reasons to death basket someone, I dont like that and try to avoid it when playing with my friend for fairness.

>>492972374that was not intended at all. this force was meant to link up with the other force and break your siege together but you abandoned your siege and moved into this province where this force was coming from, oh well.

>>492972554>slopsHard pass.Actually though, I'm busy anyway, so you slop consoomers have fun.
Play on release day: Divine Emperor is bugged.Play 9 months later: Divine Emperor is bugged.>>492973236I hope one day you will man up and play mod with scary spooky items. I'll shove some 2 gem baneblade into ya.
There been like four different Divine Emperor fixes in patches. Palanquin chads stay winning (but unable to cast some spells).
>>492973517What spells can't he cast? I'm using him in two games and didn't know that.
>>492972525yes i use hotkeysperhaps not 100% optimally
>>492973584Previously he been immobile (because his unmounted form is immobile, so no Gateway/Trapeeze/what else) and even true immobile (so not even Teleport) at some point, but all that should be fixed by now.
>>492972525I'm either too autistic or not autistic enough for efficient hotkey use. Probably the latter.
>>492973907Oh that's retarded. I've just been using him for some nice level 4 rainbow site searching and periodic Fires From Afar and shit like that. No issues.
>>492972665>black magic that is army passing mechanicsits not exactly black magic, that was the expected outcome. i just forgot to consider it when i made the turn.
>>492972554AFK 25 minutes.
>>492974078You were sending shit from the fort I moved onto, onto the fort I moved off of right?
>>492974106yes and they were meant to link up with the army from the other province but since you moved into them they never linked up, makes sense, and i know it works like this, i just didnt think of it at the time
>>492974360If a large army moves passed a smaller army moving in the other direction, the larger army will TYPICALLY push the smaller army back, resulting in a fight in the smaller army's original province.It looked like you had enough to push me back, but there's a DRN involved that can in some cases result in passing, though it seemed like the combined armies should have been enough for that not to happen.
The melias are cool but maybe you should consider putting them at the front. It seems like the ghosts are causing them to HP route before they even get into the fight.
[screams internally]
>>492974769yes i noticed that too
I am sure to win for my spell is superior
>>492975202lol youre trapped on that plane
>>492975451Oh am I?You under estimate my power.
WAIT IM NOT DONE WITH MY TURNaccidentally hit E
The only serpent dancer to survive to the end of the hellish march east.He left his home with 50 of his brethren and when he arrived he only had the wights for companionship.Highly experienced, the elite of the elite, but with 1hp and wracked with disease, he lived just long enough to see his pretender capture the throne so many lives were laid down for.
>>492975751Anon I...I'll roll back the turn so we can have one last biff.
>>492975869Alright using my newly acquired bell-chair provided omnipotence I have turned back the clock by a month, unclaimed the throne, and then turned the clock forward again. You may have to disconnect and reconnect, the game isn't designed for this.
>>492975869oh damn i got gapped.ok gg then, no point in reverting turns.
>>492975975ok one last turn but it wont alter the outcome at all
>>492975980To be honest you got shafted pretty hard, between the magic weapons on serpent dancers, recruitable H3s, and everything having rPoison nullifying the foul vapors gimmick on the pretender, that's about worst match up you could possibly get.The wights didn't help, and the throne gen was a bit wonky and stuck more of thrones on my side than yours.Actually killing you was turning out to be an absolute pain, that map is usually a slog fest in the northern corridor until someone just runs out of shit, it was actually more fun with the funky water spawn.
>>492976138Well that worked.
>>492976257kindawith more preparation and levitation rings on melias i suppose i could beat your armies like this.but not used to the blitz micro yetanyway, good game.
>>492976257also i didnt expect your army on the other plane to be strong enough to work your way through the indies and claim the throne
>>492972554afk for a little while, ill resubmit my pretender when im back and the lobby is still updont mind if you start without me, itll be around 20 minutes
>>492976402By this point I was running on fumes and really couldn't afford to lose sauromancers- especially since I trashed like 20 of them running facefirst into this brick wall >>492974918If you started pulling that trick a few turns ago I probably would have been sweating bullets.>>492976486To be honest I've played that map before so I sort of knew what I was getting into when I strolled in there; I presume you ran face first into the le tricky fase ambush and stack wiped? I went around that, though the fight at the end >>492975202 was definitely a gamble. I didn't actually think I had a very good shot at winning that but the indies couldn't hit shit during darkness.
>>492976591We've only got three right now, and I like to start with at least five. So I'll wait.ANONS ITS BLITZ TIME!FOR REAL THIS TIME!https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/333#status
Sorry, I'll go then. Already too tired.
>>492976771To be honest I can only stick around for like three hours so it'll probably be a quick one.
>>492976689I'm at the gym and i need my dinner so if you can wait 45m i'll play blitzmin
>>492977342I'll try. I don't think there are many people on right now anyway so I'll probably end up waiting.
>>492977373It's noon in Evropa so all the high paying doctors, CEOs and engineers (99% of this general) are hard at work
>>492976591im back
>>492978569https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/333#statusAnymore takers?Xibalba are you still around?
>>492978838For now, have to go in 3h though.
personally, i can get used to these frequent blitz games.maybe if other anons see we play blitz they will join more readily and prepare builds for blitz and such.
>>492979020Alright, I can't stay for too long either, we'll do a (probably shitty) three player game. If >>492977342 rocks up soon I'll restart for him.
>>492979219That'd be nice. I remember the days of regular 10 player blitzes in /v/alheim; I think we even got a 24 player blitz going once on parganos, it was awesome.

>>492980486how? i still have to type in my password every turn
NUSKU NO!!!
>>492956153>Nah this is unironically part of strategyWell, then were playing different games, he didn't thought his strategy to increase his odds of winning, but to make someone lose; in fact, he lost the game because of it, and he had all the odds to win (top research, top economy for the whole game because he had a free game). I wasn't even one of the favorites to win, he didn't have any reason to do that, he just did it and lost all his chances to win.Yah, and let this be the last post about this shitshow, but that's not based, dedicating a whole month to make sure someone lose his time spent in the game is Jewish (sociopathic) af, since we are not talking about a 30 minutes MOBA game, this was a 3 months long campaign.
>>492985769no idea, it's only on 1st turn after connecting for mei thought blitzmin changed something
>>492987003>>492985769I'm not sure how the protocol determines whether you need to put your password in, and the motd showing always turn 1 is just because I only send the motd on the initial connection.

didn't have enough damage-dealing (to non-undead) magic on my side... not enough mages eithergg and thanks for hosting
gee geeInteresting game, you out maneuvered me pretty hard the whole way through, in hindsight trying to play checkers with xibalba was a bad idea, probably should have consolidated and made a push instead of trying to fight your bast raiding squads piecemeal. Your bat raiding parties were very effective
>>492945079>Maybe because we're infected by discordniggers yeahno it's the discord niggers that hate deathbasketingthis is /domg/ which runs on pure spiteobviously you are a newfag and that was unbeknownst to you
>>492945704deathbasketing is inherently an act of revengesomeone kills you so you make their enemy stronger. It allows a dying player to have an impact on the game. Why should I not be allowed to use my resources in anyway I see fit to influence the outcome of the game?the discordniggers whine "it's dishonorable" "it's not fair" etc..to which the only reply is "SEETHE MORE FAGGOT"
>>492994043Needed to plan my research better as well but I wanted to try xib/flying nation. Was fun so it's all good in the end. Pretty sure I would've done better against Therodos than you since I had a bunch of mages who can cast wither bones, and you stopped making undeads.
WarhammerTime has had 24 hours added for Black Crag
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN
I mean there isn't exactly white peace or war exhaustion in Dominions so the time old narrative device of a loser cursing the winner by offering what little he has left to another isn't out of the question.
>>492945704>>492994508its even the logical thing to do from a roleplay viewpoint because the pretender that defeated you is inclined to hate you because you fought each other. even if that pretender is some merciful paragon of virtue or some shit and doesnt hate you after you fought each other - in any case the pretender that you help ascend (the guy you send all your gems to) is more likely to like you and treat you well after his ascension.because if you look at a pretender's description you will see none of them are mortal, it always says in their description they were exiled or imprisoned or whatever. therefore after this ascension war is over your pretender will continue to exist and wants to be treated well by the future god instead of being exiled or imprisoned or tortured.
Do you guys ever wake up on turn 30 and go "Okay, it's time to get my cap circle" ?
>>492999207Don't the Chinese community have a weird thing where they NAP until year 3?
>>492999207no
>>493000291that explains the present state of geopolitics
>>492995090>24 hours addedI don't play memehammer but I'd be pretty mad if I was in this game
Why is Foul Vapors such shit? It used to be amazing.
>>493000291i thought about that recently. maybe the chinks are onto something.a big part of the game is planning. so if you think your gameplan is well optimised then the gap between you and a less skilled/knowledgeable player will automatically widen over time because you make better use of your resources. but not only that; as time goes on there will be more room for the less skilled player to make mistakes and self-destruct.so on turn 1 everything is equal, on turn 15 the better player will have an advantage, on turn 30 the better player will have a great advantage.yes, its advantageous to win early wars to accumulate more resources. but initiating one, you cant count on the opposing player being much worse than you, much less can you expect to defeat him with no cost.so even if you intiate an early war lets say at turn 15 and annex the opposing player almost completely, you will have invested a lot right? that took a while, and then it will take another while to recover the cost invested, which will be quick because you have a lot more resources now, but its not instant.so lets say its now turn 30, you have lots of provinces, two caps, maybe youre already fighting and winning the next war, and you have economically recovered from the war. but a third player who silently scaled during all this time is probably not much weaker than you are right now because he hasnt invested anything in any wars + he didnt take any risks, so what if the first war didnt work out for you and you found yourself losing? this player didnt. and maybe this player is now in a position to fight a much easier early war against a weaker player.thoughts?
>>493005935>you have lots of provinces, two caps, maybe youre already fighting and winning the next war, and you have economically recovered from the war. but a third player who silently scaled during all this time is probably not much weaker than you are right now because he hasnt invested anything in any warsThat's really not how that works, you can't 'silently scale' into much of anything in dominions. The guy with 2 caps and lots of provs is always gonna be stronger than the guy with one cap and a modest amount of provs.
>>493005935Only true if the player that won the first war is heavily reliant on cap-only sacred, which in 99% of the case will just go AI if their sacred stack get wiped.Also more province = more gems and production, gold is less and less of an issue the longer a game last unless you're Yomi or Nazca.

How does generating map via bltizserver work? I can't see any presets being available the way you can set in sp dom.
>>493019214based, i like this capcircle much better
>>493029563according to blitzmin it works the same way as hosting an illwinter lobby. illwinter lobbies dont have the presets from sp either.i vaguely remember a post from a while ago saying blitzserver gen is different from illwinter gen so im not sure. maybe im just imagining things.
>>493029563it doesnt
>>493029563it uses the default options so you're guaranteed a garbage map
>>493030953your mom is a garbage map
fact: if your pretender build cant win sp against impossible ai with 60% thrones required it is NOT ready for domg mp games
>>493032635but domg lobbies after a year or two are full of normal ais, not impossible ones
>>493029868I went from a 5 prov cap to a 4 prov...
>>493019214I have 3 less resources in this cap circle. I expect a full cash refund.
>>493032635the ai can be beat by just increasing pd and summoning air/fire elementals retard
>>493041160The AI shows up in your cap circle with 4 trillion heavy infantry. What's your next move?
>>493041341wow, just summon more eles since it doesn't understand the concept of counters
>>4930424954 trillion heavy infantry would need thousands of gems of elementals. Wanna try again?
>>493044150You can't have that many units before the game starts auto deleting them, rtfm.
>>493044280It's a thought exercise.
>>493007749Nurgle is generally believed to be quite strong as the game gets later and later, and you also spread plagues to your neighbors.

>>493044386In my thoughts, I let the game delete their shitfantry before I have to deal with it. Next!
Buffed these guys in battleconsidering making them foreignrec only (with a temple)and possibly making them cheaperthoughts?
>>493042495It doesn't need to know concept of counters if player already countered them via, say, FR on bless.
>>493045275AI don't season dey sacreds
>>493045139How about making it auto cast bless at level 2 every turn?
>>493030230Looking over the settings when you ask dom6 to generate a map during a game start (when running via the CLI) and I don't think you can even ask it which mode to use. That's a strange gap, its not like these templates were only added in dom6.
>>493045819Might as well have it autocast divine blessingbut then I am definitely going to make it foreignrec (with temple) only
>>493045464It doesnt build stacks to bless efficiently like players do, but for nations with common H3s or just numerous priests most sacreds end up blessed.
>>493045139Could you give him some kind of funky reanimation mechanic so when grail knights in the battle die they pop up as more reliques?

>>493046821That's why they're looked on with "disgust bordering on horror".
>>493046664I think that would be gimmicky and wouldn't really add much in terms of actual gameplay or decision making.

>conj7wtf is illwinter smoking?
>>493069113glamour was a mistake
>>493069113That's supposed to be Living Glamour, but instead of wholesale deal like with eles you get single improved summon at lowish path.Not even improved - beast is probably stronger. That would make sense if there are multiple knights (Living X eles are also smaller than conj5 singleton summons), but there is single knight.It should be ok: permanent elf knights are 5/pop, getting temporary one for single gem is decent.But yeah, it's iffy: for most elespamming scenarious it's easier to drop Twilight and just summon Beasts instead.

>>493077621There is some spell that will make a unit sometimes attack randomly around it, and will even attack allies. That might tie in better than a straight up "your unit is mine now" charm in some situations.
>>493078441IDK if that fits Slaanesh so much as Tzeentch thoughI will consider it. But the individual chaos god nations should have very defined themes. With little overlap IMO
