The Wheel has turned once again

No One Ever Plays Erytheia Anymore Edition

Dominions 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.

I asked chatgpt how to make a Großgermaniums. It didn't understand so I said "it's a meme ya dip" and this is the response:
>Ah, I gotcha now! You’re talking about the Großgermanium meme—like, a joke about building an over-the-top, ultra-powerful nation or force. Classic meme humor mixed with some Dominions chaos. To "make" a Großgermanium, you’d probably want to:

>1. Pick a Nation with insane power, like MA Pangaea or MA Jotunheim, and go for massive SCs, big units, or ridiculously strong magic.
>2. Max out your scales to ridiculous levels—Order, Luck, and Growth to spam units, or Sloth to make your enemies move like snails.
>3. Go full meme-mode with ridiculous blesses, like giving all your SCs super high defense, regen, and weird buffs that should never be possible.
>Just take something OP, make it maxed out, and turn your enemies into memes. That’s how you craft the most Großgermanium of Dominions memes. Complete domination, no exceptions!

Thoughts on this tendie for MA Pythium? I chose her because she spawns monsters, can be pretty strong once she wakes up, opens up the possibility of rushing to Alt 5 for Mother of Oak, and reinvigoration + enchanted blood + undying 2 will help keep communion slaves alive for later wars.

Anyways here's the pretender in case anyone wants to replicate the success. This is the 2nd time this pretender has won with the exact same bless and scales (for those who still remember it's Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable last time). Lucked out on a random 5F Malikah at the start, rushed Pyre and snowball from there.

Ulm sent a message declaring war which missed the recipient Uruk so i attacked him. In hindsight if Ulm didn't fuck up i would have eaten Phlegra and scale even harder because i have less use for E than the D and F gems Phlegra can provide.

Ulm done i got into a scuffle with Oceania because i patrolled my thone and caught 70 satyrs. Randomly killed the god in a water raid so he went ai. From there is SC war vs Shinu but i already had 6/7 thrones to win so it's just bidding time until water access for the nearest final throne.

How is regen even good on your sacreds, arent they just bad after you get mirror images popped?
>>
>>502427890
IMagine the smell
>>
>>502428267
Regen is always good on sacred mages that has Astral because they can tank the spellcasting abuse. The Sahirs can natively forge Master Matrix, you never need Slave matrix. 1 Sahir/1 Malikah with Matrix and 2-3 Mukarribs can spam shit just like Jotun turbo communions. You can add a Houri in for extra regen as well.

Because the Malikahs are ethereal, and they can stack a lot of defensive spells like mistform, awe and shroud of bewilderment i want Regen so they can get 3 health back whenever there's a lucky hit that get through. It also helps a bit with afflictions. I used Dread bless once and afflictions are rampant.

The jinn warriors and jann guards when buffed are also very beefy and in the case of the jinn warriors they can harrass the backline almost forvever if they have regen
>>
>>502428182
>Ulm sent a message declaring war which missed the recipient Uruk so i attacked him.
Lmao I almost forgot about this.
>>
>>502428681
Yeah that sounds really good for the fatigue damage regen never thought about that before. I dont understand what you mean about the matrices though, what's the point of a master matrix if the s1 slaves dont have the paths you want for the matrix haver? Just to tank fatigue? I never thought about using them like that.. Very interesting

>>502434105
1F for skull of fire. 1W to cast Water kobold. They are mandatory to get W gems going.
>>
>>502433751
Luck is mandatory because there are 2 heroes from Worthy heroes you want to get. Both are your only Blood access if you don't take it on your tendie. And even if you get Blood on your tendie it's double/triple the manpower to start blood hunting
>>
>>502434507
I see. You definitely seem to have fine tuned that one to your liking.
>>
>>502434663
Luck isn't mandatory to get heroes. Particularly unique heroes, they show up eventually anyway as long as you don't completely tank your luck scale. If you had a gigabusted multihero you might want high luck to generate as many of them as possible though.
>>
>>502426851
this is wrong

3 of the important mages were doing move instead of movepatrol so didn't join the battle, 2 mages were missing the gems needed for casting the battlewide, random arrow took out a critical master, 10 birds birds turn 0 killed 5 of my slaves who had 1 pixel sticking out of the formation resulting in the communion overheating too quickly and killing all my slaves. Masters start poinbuffing off-script instead of anything useful.

Did you have soul slay researched? The AI LOVES casting that because it has infinite range and precision and it's sort of the bread and butter of all communions.

That's true and to be honest I can't play Astral nations anymore without improved casting mod, vanilla casting is absolutely god awful when it comes to pointbuffing instead of doing useful combat stuff.

>>502470015
I've spent autistic amounts of time analyzing off-script behavior and for astral heavy communions it makes a big difference, that is, will the mage spend 10 rounds point buffering every single bodyguard around him (missing half the time) or cast mindburn/soulslay instead

my congratulations to to the Giant team it was a well deserved victory.
You endured that hell world and played it out well, after the man+horse team started stalling. Had they not done that or gone ai immediately it might have gone into cata. But as Nidavangr tried to conquer Jotunheim until the end they might have distracted me enough, for me to not do my long range air queen insertions.

This was my God his bonus from Sparks where +5 fire and shock resist and some living statues and 2 crushers in the starting army. Jotunheim had the Linnormr that gave +15 poison resist and stole gems from the Mother Oak. Ulm has the Bitch that gave no bless bonus.

My scales reflect the name of the god: quickly thrown together without much care, magic 2 because spells are the only possible answer to gigablessed giants and cold 3 because Muspelheim was exists and Jotunheim joint 2. with his ice protection sacreds. the rest to pay for the bless and to enjoy the free points.
A8 to spam condors in the early game, the chasis and other path to be a centrepiece caster in a first war. Afterwards he had the paths to forge booster and cast big rituals i even empowert him in glamour for queens of winter.

The bless was an answer to the problem that all flying nation sacreds face: they are size 4, do no damage and are made out paper. It made them able to kill things in reasonable time frames while making them slightly tankier.
The bless gave them +8 strength when one of them dies and with no armour on the condors and no armour and the spiritform tag on the supayas a lot of them will die. Righteous Wrath is a ultra efficient bless for semi disposable sacreds as +3 att and str make them rather killy while +6 morale slows down fear plays.

Blitzmin tends to pick EA for blitzes due to his beloved gayboys. I dislike EA — too matchup defined. OneAge is meh: many nations are boring outside of their context.
So around year ago I figured to main something in EA I wouldn't hate playing and ended up picking Yomi.
You get one pixel dollie to dress per two turns, rest of roster is whatever. Great for blitzes: few important units to keep track of, but not braindead due to sheer flexibility of SCs, gotta fiddle with scripts and gear.

This decision worked out pretty well: over year Yomi went from «SCs don't exist anymore lol» to powerhouse banned in all /domg/ games! More importantly, it was fun.

By the way if any of you bimbos are serious, Dai Onis get plowed by... skellyspam. Their primary clear tool (fear) doesn't do shit, neither lategame clear tool (vortex). Before Fire Storm (much later and limited by boosters and gems) Yomi literally can't do anything about sufficient number of skeletons. Fire Shield doesn't cut it.

GSS (or just good offence) also does work, before good gear Onis are like 50hp 26prot.
Dai Oni don't blend too well with armies of abysmal morale, so while strong against soul slay (big wizard baseline MR18, Earth buffs/gear) they tend to be only target on a field. Any single target spell like lbolt also is actually decent even if there is counterplay.

Strategically they have attrition issues: only good unit is extremely limited. One per two turns. Crippling one is killing one, killing one is like beating two turn worths of troops and mages. Yes, it's rarely easy but pretty much worth it.

Build was simple: mandatory Regen, mandatory BiS Spark bullshit Awe and kinda spicy Fire Shield x Fatweaving. It was supposed to help with skeletons, fire vuln monkeys and generally bypass that Awe I expected everyone else to run. Tried to keep Death in check for Hinnomish blood econ.
Major hiccup: I didn't notice shit crafter (-1) and eventually discovered I can't break out of A1 cuck cage.

Rest of team were Hinnom and Muspelheim. Fire shield is easily castable, but troops can't cast, so figured to offload it to bless for other guys.

We started pretty well, expanded quickly on back of fat bless, secured underground way too generous (default mapgen, huh) and beaten Team Ragha.
Then Ragha, alone and battered, put quite a defence of it's capital and repelled many attempts to finish it off. Turns out those hindu angels are pretty mean.

It went downhill from there: hellwar broke our tempo, hindered Hinnom badly and endless flood of negative stuff (nazcan Gale Gate, lemurian tendie with tart attacks, rlyeh tendie with unrest spread) on top of our own trashed scales and infamous Misf2 made it quite and experience. If there are hellwars, then it was helllobby.
Each time it started to look not good but just decent, another team would attack us. First Nid. Then Ys. Then fucking top dog Nazca while we still fought waterfellows.
I started the game with dream to cast Ordeal by Fire and it was great spot to drop it with Wrath to demoralize attackers (everyone been attacker, so checks out).

And you know what? We prevailed. Because reasons why Yomi is convenient for a blitz make it convenient for a prolonged fight in the dirt. It doesn't matter if your income is 400g per turn, while you can hire a fucking Dai Oni per two turns you're at your maximum capacity.
Hinnom spent whole game being invaded, his capital turned into shithole but in the end he too just summoned some Grigory and carried us when we been served by Queens of Air again and again. Muspelheim ended up doing most of stuff with his less cap gated roster even at 5 Heat shifts of income penalty.

It's less that we won, more like everyone else lost. People been going AI. People been staling. People been making mistakes out of exhaustion. After Nid put Burden of Time in last slot, their whole team started staling together like bunch of japanese schoolgirls on suicide pact. What a move, huh.

Shout out to my guys Hinnom and Muspelheim. Been pleasure! Thanks for proving once again SC is state of mind and not some dom3 era meme (if you get free 8 bless points). Sorry if I been too wordy.
Shout out to Nazca, who would win this if he wouldn't end up with two AIs instead of team and kept playing (literal) 1v9 until the very end. This guy made me think Air Elementals are still good. Like, they just trample lightning immune regenerating Dai Onis to death!
Shout out to Nidvangr for pretty smooth moves. I made many attacks thinking «no way he gonna read it» and each time you actually did.
Shout out to Lemuria (who also got couple early AIs) and Ragha for fighting for as long as possible.

I been playing Dominions for last year straight. Number is inflated, I leave game in the background a lot, yet still something-something 400h.
Fucking turns each day, every day. With you — shout to you, /domg/. I believe imageboards are perfect fit for dominion MP structure, closest to the Illwinter Vision.
Be it that runescape game I picked up 5's MP with, Falken's eyetaking adventures, reading xibalbrat's pamphlets, arenamaxxing or just dodging that Hand of Death by lizard man himself, I had fun. Thank you for that, you triple niggers. Kinda posted a lot, can't help but share the excitement — you will see less crude paint edits with bad english.

Eventually you get bored of turns. Feels right to finish the run with Yomi game, huh.
Never forget that SCBM is best mod, Revenants > Mentors and hammers are as much of gemgen as fucking fire in a jar.
Yomi out. Until the Wheel turns again.

No, they got nerfed big time in 6 and are arguably one of the WORST plays now. There's no rainbow bonus anymore and fundamentals like atk/def and elemental resistances got nerfed.

I agree with the first answer mostly, however the idea of breaking into every path and doing stupid lategame magic shit is still a good one. While stat resist blesses are worse, caster blesses are still quite economical. So an imprisoned rainbow still makes sense for certain gameplans, but is certainly less a slam dunk pick than in D5.
>>
>>502611160
Demilich is still one of the most broken pretenders you can pick and generically good on almost everyone, rainbows are in a fine spot so long as they have that. Titans are really what's dead in Dom6.
>>
>>502611435
Actually the real deal is awake rainbow researchers, where you take advantage of a hellbless plus early research to drive your early wars, then get out and site search to diversify your magic. The increased infrastructure delays can give you an extra turn or two to drive it home.

Fully agree on the awake titan being dead, dormant titans can still be quite good but ... yeah that isn't the same ...

Any opinions on this tendie for MA Pythium? The idea is to research Conjuration first and get the various Earth/Water/Glamour summons out to cover those spell branches and do site searching. The bless is all about communions and the old mages that Pythium can recruit.

Is there a more unjustifiable mechanic in Dominions (verisimilitude-wise)?

Are Mushussu bvlls revolted by the Mushussy so much that they just won't fuck and make more babies than that?

Coalition. Now.
>>
>>502620094
I have fucked up almost every time I've taken an awake expander.
>>502649063
Why would you do north/south wraparound? I don't understand that meme.
>>
>>502653842
Without full wraparound, nations who start at an edge are at a huge defensive advantage since they'll only have a few neighbors.
>>
>>502653842
for the same reason you get east west , it's not a big deal if there's only 4 people but otherwise there's people in the middle
>>
>>502655639
Is this why Nordics pwned Africans IRL?
Another way of looking at this is that starting in the middle gives you a huge offensive advantage because you have many neighbors to attack and consoom.
>>502656538
The reason afaik is realism. Earth has east/west wraparound only.
Trying to create total balance is dumb and soulless.
>>
>>502657431
africans started on the south edge too
blame godfraud for giving them research penalties
>>
>>502657431
>Another way of looking at this is that starting in the middle gives you a huge offensive advantage because you have many neighbors to attack and consoom.

That's not really how that works since it's not like your offensive power increases. You'll still have to take em one at a time which is exactly the same opportunity a corner starter gets.
>>
>>502657431
>Is this why Nordics pwned Africans IRL?
Scandinavian countries did have colonies in Africa and traded plenty of African slaves so yes.

Cap only though. So it doesnt really scale for battles. Sure, research and ritual wise you might end up doing a lot of blood stuff but in battles I think you're actually going to be using more fire and earth spells. Then whatever your god adds.

Purely flavor, far as I know what influences site chance er province terrain, (plains, woods etc) and whether or not there is a throne. Also fun fact if there is a river nearby that typically boosts the population aka the gold of the province also.

makes your coms vulnerable to long range evos and arrow fire (good to start their script with personal ironskin or similar), and means you can't use fire eles that will get stuck in the jam cooking your coms, but otherwise it's the best way to defend mages with an undisciplined blob

Should anyone EVER summon single demon troops with blood?
It always feels like a huge waste of mage turns before 5 gates or the mass summons that only come online at blood fucking 9
Demon knights feel like the only units that aren't a waste since they come with fear and can pull a lot of weight with a defensive buff or two and devils are more often amasses with that contract that's just plain efficient.

Well that is a fucking save game delete tier faggotry right there. The way attacking a fort province works is so fucking retarded, yes I am mad, fuck this retarded logic that there are commanders outside and inside the fort. I can't even think in what circumstance you would use it that way. And I can't re-do last turn.
Maybe I would have lost anyway even with mages but at least it would have been an epic last stand with all my troops. But nope the game had to fuck me. That's a reset

>>502916456
not him but you're missing the point which is that precision may not be broken in terms of the code being nonfunctional, but it's broken in that having high precision doesn't do much to actually increase aim in a game with real-time battles

What nation? Some are biased to coastal/island starts if they have sailing, such as EA Berytos, MA Phaecia, LA Mari. Some can just go underwater, like EA Formoria, MA Ermor, LA Erythiea. Did you take cold/neutral scales and can run across a frozen province connection during winter? Is there a weird cave entrance letting you go literally under the water? Did you take an awake UW capable expander like erfsnek? Do you have access to air/water to forge gear capable of going UW? air+nature to get pocket ships? Death to reanimate + kings? Hell, astral to at least teleport?

You're more than likely just fucked though. Most ways of going UW as a land nation are locked behind a fair amount of research/gems/paths you may not have.

It does work, the issue is that units will shoot from the furthest possible range 90% of the time
Say you have 10 precision and use a trueshot longbow
say you are shooting at a specific man (size 3)
That means you have an attack of 40 and 50 range
You need to be attacking from 33 range to get accurate shots (40 - 7 = 33 vs 33)
Oh btw every shot has DRN
That means you have a 30% chance of actually hitting the mofo on top of the DRN
and thats if you are within rang
in short, precision does work as intended up until it lands on the square, then you're just crap shooting on who it lands on

Hey Blitzmin, good luck with whatever the situation is. Really appreciate you spending your time on this shit.
This is ctis in bEAt_you_mEAt, could you add 8 hrs to the turn timer, there was only a few hours left when the server crashed as I was working my turn and want to ensure I can upload my full turn.

I think the point of his screenshot is pointing out that Lemuria is attacking him rather than defending, given the context of this. >>502855135

gay as fuck
I don't border any skeletons and my entire build is skeleton killer 101
also the game is cursed 4 people are already AI
>>
>>503032348
4 AIs on turn 20 in a 34 player game is actually a pretty good ratio
>>
I just want to know how I don't border any fucking skeletons in a game with basically all the skeleton nations
I get the cancer that is LA squidders on my border though, lucky fucking me

Do pikemen work good on barbs or do they pass the morale check pretty easy?
>>
>>503034427
It doesn't work well. Most pikes only have 14 prot and get oneshot by barbs while not doing enough damage to oneshot the barbs themselves. In that sense other harder hitting 2h weapons are better. 1h swords twoshot barbs like a pike but come with a shield that has a higher roll than repel and also only has to beat the attack check whereas repel has to pass def and morale. The GS barbs also have 11 def so they don't often get repelled.
In sloops it's better with the +1 attack and formation fighter on pikes, but still barb fighting goes massed archers >>> sword/shield > spear/shield > hard hitting 2h/pike > cav.

Enough fighting, what's your hellbless for EA Machaka?
>>
>>503043868
I like to base my builds off the historical counterparts, so I dump all my scales and don't take any blesses.
>>
>>503043868
I rarely fuck with hellblesses. Maybe I should, I don't know. It just seems like a bad tradeoff.

I found this cool map generator. Not sure if the scale really fits Dominions but it makes a lot of small hexes to the point where it could. Makes way too many hexes for water if that's enabled though so you would have to cut up water provinces yourself. I like that it makes roads and water routes especially.
This guy also has some other neat map generators not necessarily useful for Dominions if you're into that.

yeah just tested during expansion, nice!
>>
>>503048084
They still get max health reduction in enemy dominion so don't get too excited or anything though.
>>
>>503048580
yeah it's more just not being terrified about the 0-1 candle provinces and shifts that could totally ruin my plan/expansion

>>502924498

So where do I find all the vanilla information if I want to mod something?
I don't see any .dm files in the game directory.

Do the undead have their map movement affected by cold?
>>
>>503070203
If it doesn't have snow move, it's slower on the map. Cold resistance is unrelated to snow move.
