Uma 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y>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://zollqir.github.io/pretenders-dom6/https://caleb-distributive.github.io/pretenders-dom6/ (website down?)>Debug modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3083231618>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.orgPrevious Turn of the Wheel:>>537819706

Thank you anon who taught me Winds of Death strategy with Nid
>>539010974why dont the devs nerf deathit's clearly overpowered
Dear bear,I enjoyed our battle and your cheeky messages very much. I'm finished, this was my entire army. I should have researched Alteration from the start, maybe with cold resistance my giants could have defeated your skinshifters. But Cold scales 2 or even 3 is just too much.
>>539012734Surely they will in Dom7 in 4 years.
>>539010949Hell yeah
>>539014968Noose
>>539014120Nice try, but Muspelheim hasn't lost a single game in /domg/ since 6 came out.Where's your real army?
>>539017452What scales do I take for Muspel?
>Ashdod took an Ethereal hell blesswell I guess I'll just fuckin' die then
>>538977498>strength 25Can you pimp it to raise your strength further?
>>539026491Sure, but there isn't much use since it's attack is in the gutter and it never gets xp. A burning pearl helps, but if it ever gets limped you're still sitting at a 10 attack that never improves.Though, if it's smart enough to cast it in combat, it can fist the ever loving shit out of things with alt1's Iron Fist spell for obscene damage. Love the idea of someone trying to rush Machaka early thinking it's an easy kill only for their giants to get one tapped every turn by the fist of the north star.Or maybe go for sheer number of attacks hoping one lands via gloves of the gladiator or something (they do almost 50 damage a hit)
What is the Thing referenced in Muspelheim?
>>539030756https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thing_(assembly)
>>539014120GREATheim the WORTHY OPPONENTI was at least halfway convinced that this was a suicidal play, my research is in the shitter since you crippled my income so early
Any tips for EA Pyrene? I'm not quite sure how to build them.
>>539035696wait for the new summons coming in the next update
>>539035882What are they getting?
>>539030756>size 6Huh?
>>539030756Like a moot
>>539039542A normal moot or a hiroshimoot?
>>539041880the distinction is moot
>>539041880Whatever attracts more Saxons (men of Es((sex)
>>539042190uoooooh saxon
Do you faggots also talk about Conquest of Elysium here, or just Dominions?
>>539046007rude
>>539046408You use Blood magic. I cannot even pretend I have any kind of respect for you.
>>539010152metal as fuck
>>539047150Métal hurlant !
>>539046007We do talk CoE here as well
>>539047371HOW DO I SECURE MY BORDERSHOW DO I MAKE ITEMS
>>539047820>HOW DO I SECURE MY BORDERSLeave a few troops in a place and pray, mostly.Items are random, you'll occasionally be able to buy one or find one on a random unit. The guildmaster's adventurers often spawn with items, but you can't control them or take them away from them, unfortunately.
>>539048010I think the dwarves might have a ritual to make an item, but don't quote me on that, it's been a while.
>>539048010>>539048374Sucks, all of Dominions' items rock. I'd kill for even a black steel armour in Mordhau.They'd be perfect in CoE with the smaller scale.>>539048010So it's on purpose that I can't secure anything...
>>5390486413/3/3 Tank is about as close to an Ulmite as you can get, it's unfortunate you can't really customize armour colour to be an actual dark black though outside of a specific set that's way too fancy to be 'ulmish'
>>539048641>So it's on purpose that I can't secure anything...Pretty much. Trying to hold onto anything not near your existing forces, or near somewhere that spawns undead/demons/deer is suffering, and you kinda just gotta march back on over there.I tend to leave a token force at valuable mines and such if I can.
>>539046007>try out CoE the other day>4 hours later, I own half the map and the remaining AIs stand no chance>realize anything but doomstack grinding to the enemy citadels is fluff and I've already won>lose all interestSuch is the average singleplayer 4x experience
>>539048983Sorry, "3/3/3"?>>539049692I see. That's a pain, especially since I get so few money.>>539050575>try out CoE4>excited because I'm told it's "Dominions but smaller">so I can finally get thugs and pimp them to my liking>find out it's slow as molass to start>can't make items so can't pimp commanders>started next to a tower, the second I leave capital, they attack
>>539051173Certain classes get freespawn and prefer certain resources over others. Dwarves and Kobolds only care about greater mines, and should only bother with towns and cities if they're close to said mines. Dryad and Druids love ancient forests, which for most other classes are the biggest source of rampaging deer. Troll king can eventually capture ancient forests and start freespawning some mindless units, thus annoying everyone else. Or if you really hate nature, play scourge lord and eventually the whole world will be a giant desert. Not all classes are made equal, and half the fun is discovering what cool thing your dudes can do.
>>539055480I can't imagine playing anything than a guildmaster, in all my games, I found like... Two ancient forests.Meanwhile as Baron I only found3 towns before getting discouraged. Map generation in CoE is tough.
>>539058662Funny, I can't stand playing guildmaster. I think my go to classes are senator, cloud lord, and maybe dwarves. And only 2 ancient forests? Even on empire setting I would get at least 3-4. What settings do you usually play on?
>>539059984I dunno. I think it's the start of civilization, usually. I like guildmaster because my favourite part in RTS is always to build my empire, so Guildmaster is exactly my jam, roleplay and gameplay wise.I tried Baron and Dwarfs but RNG smiled upon and said "not today, twink".
>>5390511734 sucks hard
is the guy who wanted a blitz with the Divinitus mod still here?
>>539075651Yes
>>539075651im the guy who was up for a blitz and im still up for a blitz.blitz today?
>>539078040>>539078682yehow we doing it?

>>539080089so you mean to start in 2 or 4 hours?I am alright with either
>>539080648>so you mean to start in 2 or 4 hours?yes roughly, need at least four players for a good game, ideally at least five.doing 5 minute turns and cataclysm at turn 55 so the game doesnt drag on for hours
>>539081497I cannot wait to lose, never played Sauro, rarely play ea, hopefully Divinitus makes it a fun gameif we ever do a MA version, I plan to try out a Cold scales Marigdon Unseelie empire
Pls no non vanilla pretenders
Did you know that your own mages can soul slay your own god if he has trample and moves on to the square of a unit that's being targeted? I just found out! The check failed immediately with 23 MR btw.
I was horribly ill, but I got better.Take care anons, don't succumb before zemaitia gets here!
>>539084860will we get zemaitia before gta6?
i wish Recuperation actually increased a unit's Max Age by 40 years

>>539086124Thanks senpai, what map?

It's time to rate prophet names in man's world
>Marignon propheted a friar instead of a bard
>>539090546Sorry, no sexo allowed
>>539090546improper to have your prophet be a seducer unless its part of your Porfolio
>>539086124i think we need more than 5 minutes, what if my grandma needs my help with something? 10-15 minutes sounds better
>>539092849no i played a lot of 10-15 minute blitzes and it drags on for an ungodly amount of time.
>>539093485fine
woah piconye makes so much more sense now
>>539086124well its been 4 hours, we doing it? can we do fast research or is that a bad idea for a Blitz?
Huh, I guess the better casting mod actually does do something. Only slung rocks at a distance, once surrounded he used the smart spell, FISTUnrelated, but I feel like if you get nailed in the arm so hard it would otherwise kill you twice over, it should at least stun you or blast you off your horse or something.
>>539101235Isn't that a cheat?
>>539100341yeah im starting in 40 minutes, so 4:30 pm UTC, hopefully we can get a fifth player until then.>can we do fast research or is that a bad idea for a Blitz?yes, i already set it to fast. it is a very good idea for a blitz.
>>539086124LAST CALL TO JOIN THE LEGENDARY DIVINITUS SUNDAY BURITSU!!! FINAL CHANCE TO JOIN!!!!starting in 40 minutes.
sunday_buritsu is starting.setting the timer to 5 minutes on turn 2.
timer set to 5 minutes.good luck blitzers
did Agartha go with a Bat Pretender? too bad you cannot go Demon Parrot, that would've gotten you Sun Guards
>>539108240no, Agartha went with the Umbral pretender
>>539108941oof that one can be nasty
oh right, usually we enable seeing everyone's score graphs in blitz games, i forgot to do that.
did we rollback?
>>539113263no, maybe you still have the previous turn open. double check if youre not hallucinating and then press E to submit and get the new turn.
epic battle in the arena
>>539115121should've sent in Athena, i really wanted to but she wasn't near a lab and i wasn't sure about the other gods. I should've at least sent a Queen
>>539115121speaking of arenas, how can I tell if the one I send someone to is going to be one of those bullshit ones that strip them of all their items and magic?
>>539116862it says in the description. says something about it being the people's arena or something and magic being forbidden.
fucking damn it again!
>>539117829again what? did you miss a turn?
no fucking waydo I just not know how to end my turn?
i rolled it back. i think everyone has to restart their clients.get your issue solved sauromatia
>>539118246whats the problem? you end your turn by pressing E. youve successfully ended your turns thus far.
i am so sorry therdos, I wanted to give you a good fight but... i am completely thrown out of time. its been the "end of fall" for 3 turns
Oh god, you rolled so far back that I lost 3 provinces
>>539118604>its been the "end of fall" for 3 turnsnah i messed up rolling it back, i set the timer to 0 thinking it would remove the timer, and then it ran a few turns in 0 seconds, but i rolled all that back so its fine.everyone just has to restart their clients.
blitzs always gets wacky at around 9 o clock to be fair. its why I wanted to hurry up the game. around this time I start having issues with multiplayer
>>539119030is that so. what is so wacky about 9 o clock specifically.anyway, when a new turn rolls while you have the previous turn open you just press E and you get the new turn, dont know if this was your issue or what.its blitz, you dont have to micro every detail, i dont do that either. just do the important things and thats it.
>>539119386what wacky about it is that the server fukin dies at this hour
setting the timer for this turn to 10 minutes. next turn its back to 5 minutes.
>>539119607true im a bit worried about that
if you dont make it in time just submit something, better than submitting nothing
i actually fully crossed over into tantrum mode
>>539122047its just a game dude take it easy
its honing my ability to do my turns fast, but this is why I never play mutiplayer turn based strategy games
>>539122047I always hated you
damn i was too caught up fighting sauromatia i didnt think abysia would have 3 thrones already.g fucking g. abysia was not fucking around.
>>539123495i wanted to gun for those 2, but you were in the way. i could've asked politely to temporary walk through your province, but eh
so that's it? it won't even show me the score graph, or the "final turn' which I think is 25? It just says me and Therdos are dead...congradulations Abysia. Those two Rivers saved you on turn 15~, otherwise those two thrones were mine
still I had fun. Thank you, therdos, for not being too aggressive while I massivly de-sinchronised with the servers. I hope we play another Divinitus some day soon. Hopefully a little earlier into the day though
>>539123948yeah thats it i should have paid attention to the thrones, i even bordered all of them.
>>539124318yeah i will host a blitz next weekend and advertise it throughout the week so we can get a big game going.
>>539123948one of them was next to my cap, but I agree the rivers always kill memy tendie sucked
>>539124556yeah I was gunning for them, but I couldn't just surprise attack you, I tried to go around, couldn't. So I had to send a declaration so I could pass through, but then I was too invested in fighting you
>>539124824I also saw your rhuax eat shit to archer fire, was really funny. if i had the turn time, I would've commented on it. I think that's my Favourite feature of Dominions. Scout reports. Seeing people fight and skirmish while I gather all the info about their bless, Items, prophet, magic, etc and then see who would want to know about itI can't wait for a MA Divinitus. Machaka gets such a funny buff with a particular pretender
The Legendary Giant Failexpand!
What happened to Helheim in rEAd?
The perfidious long ears have fallen under the obsidian clubs of the mighty Xibalbans, yet again! Praise be to the righteous owners of the stolen Sun!>I missed the blitzAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What is the point of Word of Thorns? It's total ass against individual small units but anything big that I would to use it on will likely just be able to easily break the entangle.
>>539137883It's incentive to take something besides nature as your main path
Considering a OneAge SCBM lobbyWhat resource/gold/site settings would you guys recommend to bridge the fort tech gap?

Is there any reason not to spam draconians if you have a high air income? They do everything and are really competitively costed
I think about merrow every day
It's only current turn! I swear, site searching with D mages is the most dangerous. I questioned if I REALLY needed to put dudes on my searchers but apparently the answer is yes, yes I did.
>>539156629They'll come back when Man's time of greatest need (which will be never since they're already OP)
>>539155982Maybe if you need your air gems for owl quills or dumping them on elementals to swing a big battle
>>539147304I'm struck with indecision someone pick a nation for me to play
>>539163346something from MA
>>539163346Nidders
>>539163457>>539166501very well
Why do you think they decided to make mages so inaccurate?They miss enemies 10 tiles in front of them.
>>539176027You try and keep a steady aim when this raging freak is barreling down the battefield right after your "gods" militia routed.
There's actually some really nice classical art of maenads out there.>files.catbox.moe/5tortp.jpgThis is not one of them.
>>539187512very nice maenad anon, it really sells the wanton abandon
>>539187512tummy
>>539187512>clothes
How's DE been?Last time I heard about it someone was complaining Mekone has a battlefield wide stun and how every other new spell is like that.
>>539176027They failed to adapt precision mechanics for real-time combat when it was introduced in dom5. Evos have been shit since then.
>>539176027It's fine for hitscan spells
>>539158309Considering how many D sites there are, I don't even bother sending mages out to research. I just set up Dark Knowledge on repeat and it gets solved by itself.
how am I meant to fight underwater niggers as a non-UW nation?
>>539212165
It's another 'my long line of infantry all clumped at the top right allowing a couple indies to slip back and kill the mage' episode.Should have set them to attack rear so they just run straight I guess, but that always leads to a few just sprinting to their deaths.>>539212165Tell them to stay in their pond, and if they don't you will write them a strongly worded letter about how angry you are.
>>539212910And I'm meant to build these on 20 mages that have half of their shit disabled underwater anyway?
>https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/674#statusJOIN OR CRYnew oneage gamewhat settings for resources to curb LA tier 3 fort dominance?
>>539213136no, those items give water breathing to entire armies
>>539212165You plague bomb them
>>539212165Don't fight them underwater. Kill them if they come on land, otherwise ignore them. You don't need to conquer underwater nations to win the game.
The best way to cure water shitters is to not give them any water
!!!NEW WEEKLY BLITZ!!!https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/675#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/675#statushttps://beta.blitzserver.net/game/675#statusstarting saturday or sunday, tell me which day you guys prefer. 4pm or 6pm or 8pm UTC.using the one age mod because blitz is not that serious and everyone can play their favorite nation.one level 2 throne per player, 50% +1 points to win, cataclysm at turn 55, 5 minute turns to make it snappy.JOIN IT!!!! and rise through the ranks of the /domg/ tournament to reach the final and face the /domg/ veteran champion!!!! (its not actually a tournament)
>>539224226adding more mods would be too much, right?
>>539224898what mods
How many messages per turn until you are considered a diplomancer?
>>539226579at least five times that
>>539224958Divinitusand maybe Painted Horses, if someone wants to go Sauromatiabut Divinitus would greatly help early age humans compete with all the crazy heavy armor and cavalry spam of later ages. Plus I think its just a fun mod to throw in, since it makes a lot of chassi more special (except Sacred Tiger of the West and Solar Disk who still suck and Demon Macaw gets nerfed to buff all American nations)
>>539228319I love that macaw, how did divinitus nerf him?
this will truly be my greatest battleLab explosion event, my belovedCombos well into the Giant failexpand
>>539228319ok i added divinitus
>>539228483pardon me, I forgot Sloops massivly buff it with Killing Light attack, I thought that was base game for a secin Divinitus he gives shock and fire resist as a bonus bless and acts as a Second Sun, letting you recruit Sun Guides and Sun Guards. But I guess if you use Sloops with Divinitus (and they are compatible) he does get nerfed, since Killing Light is insane
>>539228913wow, thats cool, thanks. Any limits? Last time a guy said no modded Chassis. Still same idea?
>>539229391he seems to still have killing light in divinitus even without sloops but I get your point, without the light he's kind of mehThe new chassis in Div seem to be the most broken, like holy shit Lord of floods is the most brainless expander ever, give him hard skin and he can faceroll everything. he also lets you tank misfortune and not even suffer that much.as far as existing chassis who got a nice buff, i love the cerberus chassis in divinitus, that random tartarian spawn happens way more often than you think it would.
>>539231207I like the Angel of Iron, no Magic, no Bless, all Scales. He lets you reach Drain 5 and Production 5 and on his own hes an alright expander, but if he's not fighting rival Sacreds he is kinda meh, still, really leans into Ulms gimmicks
What's the best glamour spell?
>>539229698>Any limits? Last time a guy said no modded Chassis. Still same idea?no limits
>>539231865It DependsTMSlumber (Thaum4) is pretty effective early, decent AoE and 100 precision
>>539231865Warrior Illusion
>>539228319>>539228913I suggest checking the pretenders first if you use Divinitus, last I tried quite a few pretenders were bugged.
>>539233915>last I tried quite a few pretenders were buggedbugged how
>>539234079First the fountain gave a random mage in any temple province +1 glamour up to 3 or 4, then the lich queen turned 2 researchers into liches every year and then the modmaker broke a bunch of pretenders with a patch by changing the itemIDs without changing any events that use those items.
>>539234689>the modmaker broke a bunch of pretenders with a patch by changing the itemIDs without changing any events that use those items.which version was that? 1.15 is recent so maybe its fixed? can you give an example so i can check
>>539231865Luck.
>>539236221I think 1.14.2 was the one that changed the item ID's while fixing the other issues I mentioned.Just don't expect everything to work as designed.
>>539236221The Worm Mage is a pretender whose entire gimmick is tied to an item event for example.
>>539231865Not a single spell but I really like glamour/astral as a combo>luck and ethereal>mirror image and twist fate>project self
>>539234689>>539237887there is one I encountered. Zmey Gorynch gets a horse in his Prince Form, ye? only... where does the horse go in Dragon Form? It's still there, named "no unit id" and it gives both the dragon and the prince 99 Map move. Now, that doesn't matter if you play fair...but what if you don't wanna play fair?
>>539234689Colossal Fetish summons minions that have a unique starting item and those work. Bane Fire Kiln Sites from the Anointed of Anthrax temples work
>>539238513and in battle he has no horse? and then his map move is fine... apperently
>>539238451Astral glamour earth is such a fun tendy crosspat , especially for bitch ass human tendiesProject self and gifts from heaven is hilarious
bros im sorry but nobody will get to play zemaitia in multiplayer except me
>>539239971You wont play it either. Word on the street is illwinter are scrapping it so they can go work on trade and taint.
I'm having trouble adjusting to CoE5. Everything feels so random and out of my control that I find myself quickly going on mental autopilot.
>>539242206its not the best game in the world. its probably better in multiplayer.
>>539242729it's probably even worse because turns are sequential and a bad start ruins the game for multiple people instead of just one.I don't know why Illwinter has released an unfinished game five times and it's still unfinished.
>>539242206CoE games are so inconsistent to get rolling.I feel like its balanced a bit too much in the roguelike direction in that way. The game feels like its wasting your time in the early game because you have to defend your home from ants and deer untill you have some semblence of defenders.So i play with the mod that gives you immobile home fort defenders to cut out that bullshit
Do old age mages recruited on turn 12 get the winter check?
>>539248430The winter check is turn 10
>>539242206it's a strategy rogueliuke so RNG is much more of a factor. You just do a run and see how well you can do with what you are given. get the AI Suicide Prevention mod to keep[ half your comps from dying out randomly to stray goats. Try mods too, the C'tis mod is pretty good.
>>539249107is it 10? thought it was 11.>>539248430and yes, they absolutely can because recruitment happens before that check in the turn order.nothing like having your slow to recruit cap only mage get insta-diseased the very turn they came out. -500g lmao!
>>539242206I agree, but the fact that a single Lar I just put inside a farm ambushed and charmed the dryad queen and they used charm, confusion and summons to defeat her own entire former army gave me a massive boner.
>>539244852>>539250206>Start game>Spawn next to a Ziggaraut with a Sirrush>Manage to suicide charm it with a speck of health left>Immediately bumrush another player's first two citadels with it and instawin because what the fuck are you going to do against 151 health, 4 armor, fear aura, and fire breath on turn 7GGNOREOUT-FUCKING-PLAYEDMAD CAUSE BAD

>>539278982we should be so lucky as to get a troll nation
>>539278504there's a new pre-early (Primordial) age with some standout nations like Hyperboria and Wakanda

Somehow I started in the most deforested part of the map. Iron Woods my ass. We're Iron Steppe now.
>>539300989?Ragha?
>>539264363Pretty much as soon as expansion was over I started a war with Therodos and poured all my resources into that. I thought I got a good start, but couldn't pin down his bronze colossus tendie. Eventually he completely outplayed me by teleporting it onto an army I meant to push back a horde of ghosts. I lost my cap, god, and pretty much all of my forces, and at that point went AI.I was curious what you were gonna do after building up in your corner so long. When you first attacked I thought you were joining Therodos against me, but I guess you were gunning for Agartha instead. Good on you for holding out instead of just quitting.
>>539285507I will get my LA troll nation within my lifetime, or I'll be hunting down Illwinter in hell.
> Start game> On coast> Throne on one connection> River without bridge on one connection> 40 knights on one connection> Only one expansion optionI guess i'lll be at 8 provinces on turn 12...
>>539302353what anti-colossus gear did you make? eyecatcher? gss?good idea to always have at least one or two thugs in main armies that can counter difficult enemy units
>>539303068mod it in and release under some license that enables illwinter to steal it
>>539305931I initially tried to use smashers, but never even landed a hit I'm pretty sure. I later set a bunch of guys to cast shatter and my god to soul slay, but in the end with the way I positioned my troops they were never in range to cast and just went off-script to spam shitty buff spells while the colossus sat back decimated the gigantes I had to protect the mages.
>>539306247>I initially tried to use smashers, but never even landed a hit I'm pretty sure.how? chaff distracting?did you script your mages to advance and cast?
>>539306247boots of quickness or flight, ka4nxand defensive items on the thugs wielding the weapons?
>>539306505His colossus had some ridiculous defence and prot, so my Lochos stood there wiffing over and over. >>539309181Boots would have been a good shout, maybe stopped him from getting all his buffs up.I just had my mages on "Cast Spells", which isprobably why they did nothing. Then again, that last army was set up to clear several hundred ghosts and not just one big guy, so when the big guy teleported in all my melee guys ran forward and the mages sat out of range to do anything useful. Definitely mistakes made on my part, hopefully fewer mistakes in the next game
buritsu server... down...
>>539306247>set a bunch of guys to cast shatter and my god to soul slaywhen i came up with my bronze colossus build i was testing how weak he is to earth mages casting shatter or how many earth mages it takes to kill him with phoenix pyre and max reinvigoration.and i noticed that the earth mages dont cast shatter consistently for some reason, even when you script them to cast it five times. they cast other spells. i tested it with the improved spellcasting ai mod and it made no difference.thats one of the reasons why i use the bronze colossus and not the telkhine god-king.
>>539306247oh also, soul slay doesnt affect inanimate beings like the bronze colossus
I took a break from this game that lasted over a yearBut now I feel like being hopeful for a game and then getting frustrated about it againAnything I can join? Hopefully not too heavily modded
>>539309412>His colossus had some ridiculous defence and prot, so my Lochos stood there wiffing over and over.did he have two main gauches of parrying and bracers of protection, or something?eyecatcher and boots of quickness and burning pearl, together with thaum2 f2 battle fury, would have helped. and then a lot of chaff to harrass the defense down. just a single hit from the eyecatcher causes an eye loss and tips the scales in your favor to get another hit, and a blind colossus would have a massive -9 penalty to attack, defense and precision. and inanimates can be a bit difficult to heal in dom6, i think. while smashers are great, one hit is not generally sufficient. with eyecatcher, one hit will typically lead to many more from everyone, and make it harder for the target to fight back
>>539311701We just started a couple games, but there's a few others that are coming to an end soon. There'll probably be some new game within the week
>>539309412>>539312106honestly, two thugs, one with a single eyecatcher minmaxed for attack and landing a few hits, and the other for duel-wielding smashers, is probably a good team
>>539313592>duel-wieldingdual-wielding
>intentionally not upgrading 2 forts to castles so that they don't steal resources from the one province they share with my capIs this a thing? I just had the idea for the first time (MA Man)
>>539318409Sounds negligible. You should be looking at whether you have money to spend to make that decision instead
>>539318409If that province has some good indie recruit it can be worth it. Most of the time you'll be fine without being able to recruit wolf tribe though.The commander point increase on upgrading a fort is usually more important
>>539187512not sure if you are drawanon, but that catbox maenad is excellent, well done if you are.
>>539320446Speaking of indie recruitmentI'm playing on a Mapnuke game right now and it feels like there's almost no unique indies? Every prov is usual Militia/Light/Heavy infantry and cav. I'd absolutely kill for a Crystal or Lizard province so I could at least have S1s to protect from mind hunts but that just ain't happening it feels like

I hate slowly moving armies one province at a time, takes months to mobilize armies to fight someoneWhat nation doesn't have that problem aside from the obvious like birds
>>539420129Elves with thugs
>>539422075What about in dominions 6?
Out of curiosity, how strong is communism?
>>539422179communions*How strong are communions? Is it a disservice to not use them?
>>539422292It can turn what's basically single shot muskets into auto howitzers so yes, it is an amazing force multiplierJust makes sure your slaves don't die
>>539422714Why would they die? Fatigue is spread between all slaves, but it's lessened by all the supplementary levels that the communism master get, so it goes from 200 fatigue to probably something like 100, divided between all the communism slaves.
>>539422806they will keep castingor if you use a lot of gem spells that does a number too
>>539422996Wait, wait, I'm confused.So, most spells give 20 fatigue, and if the fatigue gets over 100, then the wizard passes out like me when I watched The Raid. And if it get over 200, then the wizzard also takes damage, right?And some spells cause 300 fatigue, so the trick is to be overlevelled so that there's a discount, correct?What do gems do? Outside of being needed for some spells...
>>539423169>So, most spells give 20 fatigue, and if the fatigue gets over 100, then the wizard passes out like me when I watched The Raid. And if it get over 200, then the wizzard also takes damage, right?>And some spells cause 300 fatigue, so the trick is to be overlevelled so that there's a discount, correct?Yes to both.You can burn an extra gem to cast one level higher than normal. However it also costs more fatigue. A lot of gem costing spells you don't have to spam outside of stuff like living X/nature bug spells since most gem stuff is just battlefield enchants you need only one caster to cast.
>>539423367>You can burn an extra gem to cast one level higher than normal. However it also costs more fatigue.Oh shit. Yeah, I'm definitely checking the "conservative gems usage" thing, then. Do we know how much fatigue is added/discounted depending from overlevels and what else?Also, is it a good idea to slap a lot of reinvigoriation stuff on your caster? Like these birch boots or what else?
>>539344868Looks like Moonman.
>>539420129Birds, elves, thug nations, ghost nations.
>>539422806If your masters are casting spells with paths your slaves dont have, the slaves take assloads of fatigue. But you still want to do that because getting a new path into your battle script can easily be the deciding factor. You just have to be careful that you wont need those slaves again later.
>>539426738Oh shit, the slaves' paths are relevant too? So I can't just hire a crapload of S1 slaves to make them communion bitches?Man, I hope communions are really worth it because they look like a pain to set up.And I can't reach the Illwinter wiki so I can't even charge what the bonuses/maluses for lacking path levels are. Is it double the fatigue for every lacking level?
>>539420129try a sailing nation, you'll love it
>>539420129Roman units have good map move for the most part
>>539427112Slaves paths are not relevant to the path boost they giveSlaves paths are relevant to the fatigue they getYou absolutely can hire a bunch of S1 slaves to let you cast Undead Mastery from a S1D3 master but chances are they will all be dead from offpath casting fatigue by the end of the battle
>>539427440Yeah, but what good is a communion that kills its slaves? They aren't cheap....and also, it's bad for morale.>be me>astral mage>got hired by a strange cult>spend all my time researching >suddenly, guards enter laboratory>I'mNotReady.jpg>they drag me away>it's my turn in the communion
>>539427541It's worth it if it enables you to kill more gold worth of enemy army that you wouldn't kill otherwise.But yeah, in general, you want sustainable communions that don't kill your slaves.Or slaves with regeneration that can outheal the fatigue damageOr slaves with Soul Vortex and regenerating bodyguards etc.
>>539428065Mmm. There's really a lot to communion.Next time I can play, I'll try an Astral-oriented faction, instead of the Earth/Nature I usually go for.
>>539428426MA Man is good for trying out communions. They have a special glamour type of communion that automatically disconnects you once you fall asleep, so you won't kill your slaves
>>539428772Dude. I've been playing since Dominions 3. And I tried anything that wasn't EA because I still feel like I should master the game in EA before I move on to MA.Also you say glamour, do you mean in Dom6? Because I didn't get Dom6. Should I?
>>539420129Just use mapmove 12+ troops.

>>539442894their sacred is, but nids can be spammed out of any province so the map is quickly lousy with them
>>539444158Are they actually that good? They seem expensive as fuck for a nation without good buff paths
>>539443993Use the bystander mod
>>539444665They hit like a truck and they have multiple lives with a chance of healing afflictions each time they use a life. >for a nation without good buff pathsThey hsve a recruit anywhere W2N1 mage to give your nidbathed quickness (and I guess mossbody), a recruit anywhere N2E1 mage for nature buffs, and a recruit anywhere research assistant that can roll S1 to give your nidbathed ethereal. It's not the best but they got decent buff support capability.

Indie heavy infantry from unforted provinces. Do you get them?
>>539468517yeah, but they have changed a lot in 5e, from giant celtic vikings to giant beastly druidic pacifists.
>>539469608Of course, assuming I have not built any forts I can spend money on or my nation has no possible infantry I can get instead
>>539469608I like using them as bodyguards for low map move mages.
>>539469776>in the current year the default DnD male looks like he takes it up the ass and has a tumblr noseamazing
>>539469608I rarely bother with indies unless they're filling a niche I don't have. So mostly heavy cavalry or the rarer ones. Light infantry or militia are nice for patrolling.Indie heavy infantry is just so pointless. Too slow to raise to help in a really desperate situation. Too much of a gold waste if I'm just building army - might as well just build another fort to recruit more troops from.
Hoburgs are still the best
>>539473746what if hoburgs and piconyes teamed up?
>>539469608I tried them in rEAd, against my better judgement, because a know-it-all discorder said they're good for raiding. Of course, they're not. They lose to less than their gold value of PD.If you're a nation with no heavy infantry maybe you recruit them anyway.
>>539474303Piconyes are sadly Catholics unlike the righteous Prot Hoburgers

>>5394834022hu and elden ring soon
Neat. I thought it was a sure thing sending her alone to sweep up some animals, but my Dryad Queen got mauled to death because apparently casting magic stones 10 times in a row was a better usage of her time than casting either Command Beasts or Befriend Animal at least once over the span of 6 turns. Egg on my face for expecting any form of consistency without scripting.

>>539464978I was actually thinking about trying to run a Dominions based game. At a glance it seems like some of the spells could be adapted to D&D or something without too much trouble, but I've not actually sat down and tried to work out any of the details.Anyone tried this?
agarthan Oracle is female, right?
>>539527396Much of the game was already adapted or at least inspired from D&D (or a D&D derivative along with Ars Magica and whatever else), so it shouldn't be that hard to translate it back.>>539527396>Most Oracles of Subterranean Waters are female and it is said that they prefer the company of Olms to that of Pale Ones.You can probably assume an even-ish split for the other oracle schools.

Are these kinds of effects as useless as they seem? Most old mages are already recruited old and the 3-4 years they gain during the rest of the game won't make a difference
>>539553812Burden of Time
>>539553812Does it counter decay effects?
>>539553812I don't remember the exact mechanics but I do remember thinking that at some point and giving it a try, and holy shit do your mages go down faster without.Essentially, being older does increase your chances of catching shit, but actual age is just one of the factors. The longer you have the old aged trait, the worse your chances get every additional year you survive.I might also recall wrong, but doesn't that trait also make units retroactively age slower? So they spawn younger than the recruiting panel says, possibly even young enough not to be old aged.Really not sure if any of this is correct, but I do know I did regret the fuck out of it when I didn't take it. Old geezers dropping left and right like seagull shit after a hearty dose of laxative infused popcorn
>>539558167That's not the bless, but the bless does retroactively make sacreds younger.

>>539585705they make a big deal of how fascinated and well traveled the Centaurs end up becoming. I think, even without the threat of other nations, the centaurs were always fated to become curious of Mankind's ways and slowly, "corrupt" the other Halfmen. It was never Metallurgy that the Panii and Dryads spoke againsts, even back in The Age of Revelry they had Bronze weapons, it was about being forced to wear pants and use bricks for your walls.
>>539586226>When the ways of man came to the ancient woods, the halfmen initially refused to adopt the new ways. But as it became clear that well-trained, disciplined and armored troops would defeat huge armies of wild satyrs, bronze cuirasses were forged and given to satyrs trained in battle. Satyr hoplites became the core unit of the Pangaean armies. With greater exposure to the civilization of man came the skills of ironworking.

GG's crackheads. Actually finishing research was a novel experience. My plan at the start was to see if dreams of the awakening god and enchanted forests were strong enough to win through domkilling. That turned out to be a bust.
Laid low for a while. Eyed the only people who could potentially come down under to fight me, Xib and Asphodel. Asphodel going ai and Xib fighting Man pretty much guaranteed I was safe.
>>539591618Congrats R'lyeh. That was a crazy game.I had hoped the extra gold and gems would allow me to print mages, castles and temples, and hopefully grow too large to stop before I inevitably fell behind in magic, but it didn't pay off AT ALL. Was still fun to try, though.What the fuck was the fire bombing ritual you kept throwing at my castles? It was killing 600-1000 skellies every time
Around the time I was cleaning up Asphodel's coast/cap Ermor sent a message talking about how Marignon had 3 thrones and was on the cusp of 2 more. I remember dooming pretty hard about how Mari had already won and my armies were out of place to bother them.
>>539592351Flames from the sky, level 9 evo. The fire throne let me recruit fire 3 mages. One death empowerment and I could make the flame helmet and the skull of fire to start blasting. Magic variety was a pretty big problem for a while. Ulm was a godsend and forged me a bunch of charcoal shields before I picked up magi from a site in Miclan's territory.
Speaking of Mictlan, how were things going with them before they dipped? Seemed like they were on the warpath with the undead and doing fine.
This is why you don't let one faction hog the entire ocean
>>539593087Yeah, you're supposed to put two factions there that fight each other so that the rest of the world has to deal with an UW nation with two caps later
Didn't really feel like I had a real shot at winning the game until the global board was monopolized by me. The throne on the island in the ocean was only worth 1 point so I still needed 5 more thrones to win. That time the globals got wiped was a blessing in disguise. With Agartha's stuff out of the way I was open to cast arcane decree and really lock it down without needing to dispell stuff first. Why did Agartha go ai anyway?
>>539593087>>539593225Breathed a pretty heavy sigh of relief seeing the game start with only me as an uw naction.Eventually decided to attack Xib because I needed the throne, they were in conflict with Man and to get rid of the only person who could contest me underwater. The cap battle was very rewarding, enslaving a bunch of high earth/death mages.
All this dominion didn't do jack. Even enchanted forest attacks don't stick around to siege forts. Although the mobs it spawns were tougher than I thought still not that great.

Lol at the point there are more squids than skeletons. Brave skeletons though, saw the coming of God and tried in earnest to stop it. Luckily there was a construction discount site for mass producing golems. Looking through the artifact list showed the mobile dome that I assumed did a lot of work. Never showed any messages if it did anything. Mari did some half hearted stuff and only started fighting for real when I retaliated. And to be honest they were pretty scary. Before they gave up there were a couple seraphs running around that were unstoppable.
Actually getting my armies to where they needed to be to win the game was a slog. Most of the time wasted just getting around. To the point that I see this game more lost by Marignon than won by me. Mari had 3 thrones and was pretty much adjacent to the last 2 but never made a move. Despite finishing research quickly. Even if I saw the winning attempt there was no way for me to deny one of their thrones before they won. At least that's how I saw it.
>>539594927Honestly I've never gotten research 9 in everything but I allied with Ermor against the squids. In restrospect I should've just rushed him. I mainly lost hope because I saw all those globals and the infinite amount of gems you had compared to me, along with the fact you could casually wish for everything in the game at this point. My economy was completely ruined by my bless.
>>539595742That first seraph was a powerful deterrent. Couldn't really commit anything because it could kill everything. The plan was to eventually mass a bunch of ancient presences and pray one of them ate it. Was less worried about the flames from the skies but still needed to wait those out until you ran out of gems. I knew attrition of any kind was massively in my favor at that point.
Eternal Twilight was telling me about 100 people were tricked to death every turn it was up. Did anyone notice it doing anything noteworthy?

>>539593291As far as I know, Agartha was in a protracted war against Ulm and Man. Guess he just gave up.>>539606923In red, my dominion before you started spamming that wish, pretty much everything at 10 candles. A few more casts and you'd have wiped me (and everyone else, it seems) out.>>539594606The classic "you need your mages for research, you need your mages for fighting, you barely have mages" problem really bit me hard here. I really had aimed for an early victory, counting on everyone else playing for the late game, but Pythium held out a lot better than expected, Mictlan attacked me, and Xibalba had a doomstack sitting at my border "to fight Man", but well, gotta leave a force there. I could handle it but I just didn't have the skellypower to finish either war quickly, and dedicating mages to battle was right out. I only managed to get one path to 9, not long before the end of the game...So when all the squids started flowing in, I found myself without much I could do at all. Throwing hordes around also wouldn't bring much, since squid stacks are excellent at snipping the commanders.I tried to pivot to tartarians and a couple other big spells, but you also managed to Wish my pretender death twice right at the worst possible moment, which slowed me down a lot.All in all a massive failure all over the place.I actually won a max research speed game with MA Ermor like a decade ago because everyone trusted friendly trader Ermor and got me swimming in literally thousands of gems in exchange for all kinds of shit, information, protection money, etc. and no one could take down my third Utterdark at 700 gems overcast, but this time I failed horribly.Was a fun game, though

>>539660906what scales did you have?
Decay
What do I dump water gems on? Are sea troll king thugs real?
>>539675297give them some boosters and a water lens, and they should be decent spellcasters for armies
>>539675297also depends on research and how high your water path can get. vengeful water isn't as good as it could be, but still good. queens of elemental watee could be an option, if no one else grabbed them
>>539675970I cast vengeful water once but the map barely had any rivers so I mostly got to see small water eles lose to scouts occasionally
>>539676091stronger in dom5, i thinkdo you have death crosspath for hidden in snow? any mods?
>>539676679I do have spare death gems that I can't really spend. Would it make sense to empower to get frozen skellies?
>>539675297I usually spend them on water boosters, bottles of living water, green lions, combat water elementals, water queens. Claymen maybe if its early game? They are ok. Ghost ship armada kinda sucks but its funny and cheapish for a global if you wanna hog a global slot and have a laugh.You could thug a sea troll king, but he's pretty damn expensive. You should only be summoning him to get higher water path access or uw capabilities usually.

How high can I go on strength of independents before the AI gets handicapped?? Tried putting it to 9 and when I chose my first target once my dormant tendie woke up, the nation only had 3 provinces.
>>539289950>Agartha is still just Agartha
>>539608232Surprisingly no, the mount changes were extremely kind to them. MA's spider sacreds are now extremely good, and the regular spider cav in both eras isn't bad either.

>>539709378Sounds like X-Piratez desu
"Meese? In *my* vagina?"It's more likely than you think.
>>539699671Just keep it at default, that's what all the games use anyway so no need to practice against giga stacks unless you really want to try hard mode expand,
>>539711575X-Piratez mentioned!
Okay, moose knights might be worth two holy points now (they have mpower now I guess)
>>539713829I like to practice with 5 or 6 every now and then to simulate the sort of terrible luck I get in actual games
so the new nation is just magical ulm now?
GG Oji-san. Was sweating a little bit seeing the 30 defense and that first bane fire hitting but justice prevailed.

Shame they're absolute dogshit nations to play as.
>>539652119people always complain that LA nations are basically autowin (barring a few notable exceptions) in OneAgeIf you have better suggestions for setting that relativistically harm LA nations more than other ages, be my guestotherwise kill your self
>>539726070>The fuck did Ys do? IMO they're the least underwater of the underwater factions?that's why they need to stay in the watertheir fire horsies and knock off druids are very strong on land
>>539721702GG. The moment has been immortalized by the most skilled artist of Jomon.
>>539727265Beautiful. I'll cherish it.
>>539700605i wonder if an awake or dormant tendie with glamour and water paths could work for ermor. glamour has water kobolds with recuperation, and a good research booster (though, do kobolds dream?), and being able to site search glamour and spend glamour gems on research mages and boosters should help. and in the end game assuming good research, the evo9 glamour-water global should enable gold both directly and from increased luck scales
>>539713829All right, that's fair enough. I'll probably do around 100 hours of single player and then hop onto MP.
>>539739746Good luck!!
>>539739746remember to also muck about in the end game as well and get experience with stuff that mp-only players tend to rarely ever get a chance to learn about
>>539739746>100 hourskind of a lot
>>539726097Even if that is a significant enough balance problem to try to solve it yourself through messing with game settings, you do know these settings apply to every nation in the game, not just LA ones? They're still going to have the same advantage proportionally with their forts over everyone, aside from popkill nations of course, which seems to be the actual thing you're encouraging with these settings. Really getting badmin vibes from this entire thing, what with the retarded way you type and all. That's not even what relativistically means.

I've been intending to learn how to play Dominions or Conquest of Elysium for a while and I have some free time coming upI have CoE5 and Dom4CoE seems easier to learn, does it translate well to Dom understanding?Should I invest in Dom6 now or should I learn Dom4 first?Does anyone have that story where the guys Corpse Eater? goes rampant and eventually eats so many things its HP stack over flows and dies?
>>539769875>CoE seems easier to learn, does it translate well to Dom understanding?CoE is nothing like Dominions. CoE is closer to a rougelike and Dominions is a 4X. >Should I invest in Dom6 now or should I learn Dom4 first?Dominions 6 has more content and the multiplayer scene among other changes, but I recommend you just play Dom 4 and see if you like it enough to get 6.
>>539726070>The fuck did Ys do?Have you ever started next to Ys as a land nation? If not don't talk shit. They are the quintessential water nation that needs to be kept in their puddle.
>>539769875Dom 6 is what everyone plays rn
I've binge read all of the Warlord Chronicles and it made me sad there's no fun Saxon nation
>>539769875If you are interested in the multiplayer at all you gotta get 6, and to be honest the game is by far at its best in multiplayer.It's perfectly fine to play 4 by yourself if you are just deciding whether to get into it or not though if you have it already or its going for very cheap. Each new game is pretty much the same at its core, newer versions just get new toys to play with, QoL updates, engine revisions and stuff.Mechanically there is very little overlap between Dom and CoE, but you will see loads of the same assets and lore concepts between the two
>>539772665the ulmish and nidders may as well be saxons, any bone-through-the-nose savage from the northern european plain will do
Oh so we had to change "black servant" because its soooo offensive, but it's still perfectly fine to call these guys....BLACK HUNTERS?Jesus christ illfraud!
>>539773780Why are they hunting blacks? Are they using spiders as buck breakers?
>>539774308Yeah there's a reason why Lion tribe only exists as indies in MAthe first to break bucks were their fellow machakans
>>539775609Who should rule LA Machaka?Rhino clan? Hyena?
>>539770264>>539771072>>539772847Thanks for the inputI'm not sure I'll ever play Dom multiplayer though, feel like I'd just get bodied into the ground
>>539726070>The fuck did Ys do? IMO they're the least underwater of the underwater factions?That's what makes them annoying. They're an anti-lobby nation that doesn't want any other water nation in game because they'll lose the knifefight. They're a land nation with an underwater capital going 'ha-ha you can't hit me back'
>>539783882Everybody gets bodied at first, but its worth it.Only 1 person can win and long term games usually have 9+ people, there is no shame in losing. You will learn extremely quick from every loss too.The only thing you need to be able to do to join a mp game without humiliating yourself is to be good enough with your nation to get approx 15 provinces in the first year of the game, and thats a pretty easy task for most nations, especially if you take a strong monster god to expand with or a big bless.This place is always looking for an excuse to look smart so asking noob questions is encouraged too.
>>539784417LA ys will fix this
>>539786285I predict that Ys will sink so low that they will become a cave nation.
>>539786438if you thought merrow were ugly, you aren't ready for blind cave merrow
>>539786438I predict that Ys will be ruined and the coastal humies will found a new nation influenced heavily by Marignon.
>>539786942Make them a cave nation with no dark vision, but their sacreds have sun awe. A punishment they have earned.
>>539787224add a light aura and have dedicated torchbearers with a sticks and stones attack that follow the sacreds around illuminating their blinding armor and throwing stones from behind them

>>539784417Got targeted by a solo-uw-nation Ys in my current game and despite it being a mostly even standoff it's fucking annoying that he can just hit me from a dozen different places at any time but I can't do shit to punish and invade his provinces. As far as I can tell they've specifically fully committed to holding the two provinces they stole from me with their entire army sitting on them so hopefully at least other nations are actively pushing them the fuck back into the ocean.
>>539790115Sadness
>>539790115kino
>>539767856And what sort of bless would I want if I wanted to make best use out of Shikomes? They don't exactly want the same sort of bless you need for Dai Oni to expand.
Odd question I'm having a hard time testingCan you trample underwater? ie a pretender wearing boots of the behemoth for example.I don't know if everything is technically considered floating or what if there's some odd interaction.
>>539802646yes
>>539802646Yes, notably the sea dragon tramples, though I haven't seen one in a while. And the R'lyeh blobs from what I remember.
>>539802852>>539803112AwesomeSomeone was willing to make me a ring of water breathing so now my Fetish can swim and take over the tiny shit-lakes surrounding me. Against unarmoured retards he'll uselessly spam earthmeld but as long as he can still trample with those boots and swing his holy scourge the battle will be won, eventually.
Do multiple casts of the same battlefield effect (earthquake, howl) stack?
>>539806725Earthquake doesHowl doesn't
>>539807090And how can I tell which ones do and which ones don't?
>>539806725>earthquakeis just a spell, can be spammed>howlis a battlefield enchantment. enchantments like relief can be put up by both sides at most once for each side afaik, since it is specific to a side. enchantments like rain can be put up at most once, since it affects both sides
>>539807908https://larzm42.github.io/dom6inspector/?page=spell&nation=0&spelltype=3&spellq=Rain&pathW=1&showids=1&showkeys=1&showmoddinginfo=1look for enchant battlefield in the info
>>539808029Oh, earthquake is not an enchantment? That explains it, I'm just dumb
>>539808269>earthquake is not an enchantmentcorrectrain of stones is, thougheasier to figure out with the inspectorusually, one-time effects are not enchantments, while continuous effects are enchantments
>>539755659if you hamper the ability to produce high resource troops (something LA nations excel at) then you strengthen nations that don't depend on high resource troops as muchI don't understand how this is a complex calculusIf I reduced every single resource in the game by the same percentage, yeah you might have a point. But in this case you are just a retardMages, Sacreds (assuming they aren't resource capped), low resource mundane troops, and so on all become relatively more plentifulIf this isn't intuitively obvious to you then I can't help youAnd I really question your ability to a valuable analysis of any kind>badmin vibesok then you make a game and I will jointill then KILL YOUR SELF

>>539824963>he can't readn-no they're still ulmites under the armor!!
It fucking rainedIn a Death1 province, it rained. Is the chance higher in Autumn and Spring or something?I won the battle, but I had 10(!) of my mages scripted to cast Combustion x 3 which would have ignited half his army with only a 15% chance to extinguish each turn. Instead it gets put out instantlyI'm so fuckin' sad anons, pls, tell me that's some horrific RNG
>>539832205That's what you get for tryharding
>>539817073how dare you speak ill of the moose
This seems overpriced
>>539833429It's the leadership value
Pyrene sama, wake up! You are about to stale!
>>539816882the mapmove is probably too high for the rider, both regular hochmeisters and fay princes have low mapmovethe mount probably should have good mapmove
>>539816882combat speed is probably also too high for the rider
>>539816882why is precision so low? antlers and helmet? chuds and black knights have 10 or better precision
>>539842093the helmet is admittedly especially highprot, even for hochmeisters
>>539816882it seems neat overall
>>539816882art when?
>>539816882the main difference to regular knights seems to be way higher hp and 1 unit/square. moose have higher hp than horses. regeneration would help them a lot, while undying and enchanted blood seem less efficient than for regular knights. enlargement would help as well. does sacred larger stack with buff enlarge?they might be tanky enough for dance of ephemeral swords with a gem to workthey don't have magic weapons, no darkvision, and would need to script true sight. moose would probably have two attacks. enlargement would mean more damage, and so would magic scales. does the moose have magic power? but their smiths might be able to forge weapons of sharpness, glamour weapons, or blade of grass, cheaply>>539821640could add elemental fortitude to that for army thugs
>>539816882>New nation that's meant to be ulm + chudes>Look inside>Its elves
>>539855676It's the power of the only non-gay (no gaylamour or iron weakness) elves in the pinnacle of human technology that would burn a gay elf to even wear it.They even have magic power to dominate elves on their home turf.They are the anti-elf.
>>539857953Wait is that combat casting?1/10 would not recruit.
>>539859337combat casting isnt the same as innate casting
>>539859776Yeah I know.That's definitely combat casting.
>>539855676too low defense, no glamour
>>539823335Fucking finally! Ok, we still need the Rabbit Knights and giant snail cavaliers, but we finally have all the feyfolk necessary to recreate the forgotten kingdoms of the Snails and Cats from medieval paintings. Now if Seelie/Unseelie empress would get a starting site to let me recruit them easier…
>>539859337is combat casting really that bad? or is it fatigue that worries you?
>>539842093Mounted gives -2 precision
>>539862558Combat casting is really cool in theory but in practice it just doesn't do anything. Will not recruit because every time I see that icon I will be reminded of how cool it would be to have a dude wade into melee and start slinging hands of death left and right.
>>539821960
>>539862646do combat casters avoid suffering double encumbrance when casting spells?
>>539862632my mistake, apologies. the precision is reasonable then
>>539816882The moose has at least 38 HP and 23 prot, maybe more HP if it's better than a regular moose.With Larger (or just casting Enlarge on himself for a gem) and +1 HP bless it's 51 HP, and with one N gem the rider and mount both get 10% regen. Barkskin raises the moose's prot to 26.That's the same stat profile as an Ashdod Adon with a regen bless and personal ironskin cast on himself, just for the mount.
>>539865617the adon does have a magic weapon that hits very hardone question is what amount of magic resistance the moose will havedoes amulet of clarity work on the mount as well? if not, and the moose has 5 mr, illusions and phantasms could in some cases be a strong counter
>>539863587that's just a big elf
>>539871178that might make fire shield, larger and regeneration a decent bless, since fire shield should be strong against most things that deal false damage, and fire shield combines well with units that can take a beating. could remove one of regeneration and larger to make the bless cheaperif zemaitia gets earth-air crosspath, stone birds and amulet of clarity on a few hochmeisters might work as well
Congratulations, Jomon.
>>539873271Thanks. I was just about to post the graphs.
>>539873391VanilLA has ended and Furious Oji-san has ascended. No longer will the elderly be looked down upon and all brats will recieve immediate correction!
>>539873608Expansion went fairly well for me. At least until my pretender jobbed to a province with like 40 heavy infantry that refused to rout. I thought one of my neighbors would take the opportunity to attack me while my pretender was dead and my bless was offline, but no one did. I don't know whether no one saw it or just didn't care. I needed to call him back so I built temples in a couple mountain provinces and started recruiting priests. I started next to Lemuria so I figured I would need the priests later anyway.
>>539873746After calling back my pretender it was time to go ghost busting. Ragha joined in on the fight against Lemuria and together we managed to banish the spooks. Fire weapons bless and solar rays did some impressive work against them. I had some limited success using ninjas with cheap magic weapons to assassinate some of Lemuria's commanders too. Across the map I think Feminine was fighting Atlantis and R'lyeh, TC fought Vaettiheim, and Man and Ulm had some sort of spat.
>>539873891The war with Lemuria left me completely broke. I had gained several forts, but didn't have the gold to recruit from them. Getting Lemuria's cap gave me a nice bit of death income at least. Around this time, I lost a province to a vampire event. I sent my pretender who was decently geared to take it back. He got crit by a vampire, started bleeding, and bled out after the most of vampires had routed. I had so many priests leftover from the war with Lemuria so it wasn't that big of a deal and I managed to call him back in about 2 turns. I did lose a bunch of items including the Shield of the Dawn I had won in the arena which stung a bit. He did redeem himself later by taking a throne by himself after being appropriately geared.
>>539874016I had been so focused on fighting Lemuria that I neglected site searching and had pretty sad gem income early on. I got the Atlas of Creation after winning one of the arenas which was great both for the site searching and for boosting paths I already had. TC had beaten Vaettiheim and contacted me about fighting R'lyeh together. I didn't know what to make of this. Why would TC want to fight R'lyeh? Thinking it was some kind of ruse I absentmindedly agreed. Then to my surprise TC actually did attack R'lyeh. I started summoning kappas and forging water breathing items, but quickly realized I didn't have the resources to contest R'lyeh in the water. TC was becoming impatient at my lack of action against the squids and it became clear war with TC was imminent.
>>539874351War with TC began the turn after I informed him I wouldn't be fighting R'lyeh. The invasion began with golems and cavalry raiding into my territory. Luckily for me Agartha was already fighting TC so at least I wasn't alone. While I was able to repel TCs raids with earth mages and dai oni, I was suffering quite a bit of attrition. My armies that were marching towards TCs territory were being whittled down by wind of death attacks and ritual magic. There was one particular battle were I lost two dai oni because I didn't realize that if a battle goes on too long it reaches twilight which dispels buffs and they got crushed by a bunch of awakened trees. While TC was slowly being pushed back he still had a bunch of globals up feeding him gems as well as GoH.
>>539874610Then TC had to go AI for personal reasons and his territory was divided up between me, Agartha, Man, and Atlantis.At this point I started amassing tengu as I had very good air and nature income and had been trading glamour gems to Feminine for even more. The tengu ended up being pretty nice especially with the +4 attack I got from one of the thrones I claimed. I summoned a couple of the elemental queens of water and air and prepared for whatever was going to happen next. Oh and Ragha ate Piconye.
>>539874804After AI TC was mostly mopped up Man went AI. So I grabbed as much of Man's territory as I could. I managed to get both of Man's thrones and only needed a few more to end the game. At this point I had Well of Misery and GoH up and was using my pretender to summon tarts. I felt like I was in a pretty strong position.
>>539874909I only needed two more thrones to end the game. There was an unclaimed throne in Ragha's territory which I managed to take by magic phasing a bunch of tarts, wights, and a fairy queen into the province. I ended up pushing R'lyeh off of TCs final throne and taking it with a horde of tengu, ryujin, and whatever else I had in the area. Agartha didn't want to fight a late game war with me and instead wanted a duel between our pretenders. My pretender predictably jobs one final time attaining maximum deathpower. The final throne is claimed and the game ends.
>>539875084This is my pretender. I had low expectations for this build, but it ended up performing better than expected.GG everyone. It was a fun game.
>>539875219GG.It was a first game for me after a 2+ years without Dominions, so at least I think I did a good job of surviving untill the end.
>>539874351doesn't jomon love ryujin? did you forego underwater provinces and forts? or did you lack underwater connection for shrimp soldiers with void sanity?
>>539875915Ryujin seem pretty nice. I didn't get a chance to do that much with them as I didn't manage to get underwater until pretty late in the game.The underwater portions of the map were mostly separated into two disconnected lakes. R'lyeh started in one of them. At that point I believe TC owned the other lake so I had no UW forts.
>>539875219was the game modded? doesn't flaming weapons require f7?apart from that, neat game. jomon seems strong if they can get up and running, with flying combat mages, national summons, and other options
>>539876680getting underwater with jomon can be a significant challenge. some players deliberately take a pretender like the dragon king or celestial dragon, awake, to be able to quickly snipe any nearby ponds early
>>539863587Can an ungeared sleeper take on 6 pd?
>>539871962the spell specifically says its an ancient human hero. The sleeper is a civilized Caveman, he gave up rough living (dark vision, Heat/Cold Resist) for Biological Immortality and Recuperation.
>>539884182he has javelins with 15 precision and 30 range. If he gets lucky and there's only Light Cav on the PD, yeah, its possible.
>>5398841821 cast of summon fay folk would do much better for the half the gem cost

(its not actually a tournament)mods: one age and divinitusone level 2 throne per player, 50% +1 point to win, randomly generated map, fast research, cataclysm at turn 55, 5 minute turns.
>>539873271Hory shit, weebs one for once??
>>539888053Indeed, sometimes they two
What good glamour/death spells are there?
>>539893624Curse of Balor
>>539893624Vengeance of the dead can be great for sniping big enemy mages who are casting battlefield clear spells or other big evos
what is the male human fighter option of this game?
>>539895645Probably full scales MA Ulm and never trying to find any magic diversity
are Basalt Queens the best Priest in the game? Not Holy Mage, that's probably Azazel, but pure Priest.200 Leadership, 2 attacks, fully darkvision and aquatic and a massive hp pool and fear
>>539895645>>539895783that or Knights Only Man
>>539887997weekly blitz starting in two hours
>>539895645MA Marignon is the human paladin option
>>539896876I'd argue its more important for a H3 to be easily recruitable and cheap so they can be massed.I'd argue Ind's foreign recruit H3s are the best since they don't eat fort recruitment.Queens would win in the arena though
>>539896876Basalt queens can expand with a bless like regen or ethereal if you put armor on them but don't tell anyone I said that
>>539900253Ethereal is nice because the astral smite has 100 cast range.
>>539899913yeah, only Ind can spam non-fort Smite Squads (even if it takes 4 turns per Primate), but Ind's Holy 3s are completely useless, because your Cap sacreds auto-bless and your Summoned Sacreds are Angels, who can Priest Bless. So in a way, Ind has the worst H3s in the game, because only one can become H4 and you'd rather wait for the Archbishop to make him a H5. Ind's H3s are only useful for Smite and Banish Spam, but the Basalt Queen actually fulfills the role of a traditional H3, while also being an excelent general and capable of eating any would be assassins
Realistically, how does one counter Regeneration+Blood Vengeance?
>>539895645EA Ermor is the most standard human nation in the game. No stealth bullshit, a good but non-busted sacred, normal mages who are content throwing fireballs.
>>539903621It's only a problem on nations that can spam summonable high-HP sacreds. Otherwise you just kill them with normal troops.
>>539903621Magic Resistance to deal with BV, and stacking buffs on ranged units. I like Reanimated Archers + SoG + Flaming Arrows
>>539895645Arco
!!!BLITZ TIME!!!blitzers assemble!!!ITS TIME TO BLITZ!!!!!!!
>>539907046Okay? What settings
>>539907212posted above, its this game>>539887997are you not in yet? i will allow a last minute join
>>539895783Who needs magic diversity when you can quickly research Const2 and slam 26prot Black Knights into your nearest non-giant neighbor
>>539907392No, i am drawing adramania porn
>>539908058ok!!!BLITZ IS STARTING!!!blitzers, get in here
timer will be set to 5 minutes on turn 2
oh I hope I don't get fucked by turn timers again
>>539908373if you run out of time just submit something rather than nothing
>>539900937>Ind's H3s are only useful for Smite and Banish Spam,and claiming thrones
>>539908373Set up a 4:30 minutes timer on your phone and restart it every turn so you get a warning before it's too late
>>539908373just play a blood nation :^)
scoregraphs are visible btw
>>539903621depends on how late in the game it is. enslave mind and charm works. illusions and phantasms might work. skelespam might work. fear might work. unbearable splendor can annoy. horror marks can annoy. disease can annoy, it was probably changed sometime in a version of dom6 after release to lower effective max hp. lategame, legion's demise should work. glamour spells that confuse might work. antimagic as other said should help in a straight fight
>>539903621Very high mr
C'tis here, I gotta stall a few rounds cause my elderly neighbour needs some help
one of you guys hexxed my mouse. The left click...its misbehaving, but I am no giving upalso, Xilb? Mega-based pretender choice, one of my favs
>>539911128i set the timer to 15 minutes for this turn
>>539900937Holy 3s are also better at preaching too. Pretty relevant if you are going for any of the dominion based globals or you neighbour Ermor/Asphodel
>>539903621Magic resist buffs or high numbers of combat summons with fatigue spell backup
>>539908754just like 10 year old me, I only count time in memorized songs. thankfully I have a playlist
>Ys>Ermor>TherodosGlad I missed the blitz
>>539911128I'm back
>>539912223pussy
timer back to 5 minutes
>>539912223no joy and whimsy
>>539912223Don't worry, surely the Ys and Therodos will fight amongst themselves for the water instead of bullying land nations that can't hit them back.
why is Gale Gate so bad compared to other gem generators?
i might've misplayed my Prophet, this strategy might not be possible now
>>539915543tell me more about your strategy
>>539916176I needed a stealth preacher so that I could have a province with my dom in it so that my pretender will have bless when I teleport him in
>>539916490is that the only way a pretender can bless itself?
>>539918645you would think a pretender that spreads his own dominion and has inherent divinity would have his bless active in neutral provs too and only inactive in enemy dominion, but no
playing ma ermor in a blitz might not have been my brightest ideaa
>>539919186you just need to spam more Banefire Braziers. Your entire nation hinges on Death gems. Make more temples.
>>539918645You can also forge a flask of holy water.
>>539919016blesses are made from faith, you need belief to have faith, if a province is neutral, if your dominion is not there, why should your giant lion get a bless? What makes it special compared to a Enlarged lion?
>>539916490Can't you stealth attack the province to have the priest be there for the magic phase attack?
btw, Xilb, I thought you went Anthrax emissary, though I applaud your bless, real funny
>>539919843>blesses are made from faith, you need belief to have faithThen why isn't my giant lion carrying his own bless when he's surrounded by thousands of faithful soldiers and dozens of faithful priests all carrying his bless, just because he's in an enemy prov?
>>539919336> Banefire Braziersque?
>>539920640you went Emissary of Anthrax, no? The main advantage he has over Banefire Dracolich is that any temple you build, create a Banefire Brazier site (D1F1) next turn. These remain even after you destroy that temple. So any nation that needs Death gems or Fire gems can print them out with that chassis
>>539920638It's the collective faith of the provinces population that gives him the power
>>539919740That doesn't work for pretenders outside their own dominion N I G G E R
>>539920638because those are at most 2000 guys, while the province can have 3-10 times as many non-believers. that's the point of the Thrones.
man its much easier to do my turns now that I noticed there's a turn timer in the bottom left corner. Until now I was eyeballing them
something awful will happen soonI want you to know it's only partially my fault
>>539920880thats not my Problem i have a 1000 random dudes standing around everythere and cloging up my movement and scripting
good ol colossus
>>539923630oh, that don't do it justice. Phoenix Pyre, 13 Reinv, Fear, Reconstruction, A polearm with shock aoe, Even if my weapons went through your damage resistance, you recovered hp too fast. As always, your Helios is a monster once fully equipped. Yeah, I don't see any way of beating your build besides just...rushing you.
>I threw everything against Therodos instead of Ermor because of a mistakeuWELP
>>539924061you prevented me from ascending
>>539924061beating himself up when he's the only reason the game is still going
>>539914805it can make air elementals more powerfulit can generate unrest worldwide, good for chaos power nations
>>539875219can we see Oji-san's pretender build?
cinema
>>539926474if only my scouts were there to catch the moment
>>539923986start by getting some hits in with an eyecatcherthen maybe minmax a unit to have an axe of hate with as much strength as possible to try to overcome protectionbear claw talisman, boots of strength, buffs, girdle of mightalso buff that commander with quicknessrequires const7 though
it's not so cut and dry like the last one. This time we'll see the horrors. Meaning its about who gets to two thrones first
helios cleaning up
yeah, I needed to make more UW forts, I did not play into my gimmick. I need to practice more. For the next round
>>539930283see! there's a guy who practiced his gimmick
gg blitzers.lets have a rematch next weekend.
gg therodos,at least the other death nation won
>>539928119just use const3 Smashers ez
gg, I really expected more from my Queen Mosquito assassins.
>>539931210next time I am either finally going full Merc build, or I try and make Reef Ys workbut I don't get it, is RP dependent on nearby provinces or only fort quality?
>>539931361squashed so many of those discount fariesyou'd think a head-sized mosquito would be easy to hide!I just don't know how PD kept finding em
>>539931210yes, but please with better rivers roman undead cant swim>>539931361you keept losing them to my freespawn patrollers that was the plan there
>>539931721yeah, having Ermor next door on both sides was the worst. Can't disease them with the little shits and if you try to fly past them they get patrolled out a lot.
>>539930283ermor, did you at least cast spirit curse? assuming it affects mindless
>>539931276reinvigoration and phoenix pyre kind of messes with that
My internet went down as I was sending in my last turn, gg everyone was fun t. Xibalba
>>539932581By the way Ys I had nothing against you except that you were on my doorstep from the start of the game. I wish we had been just a little bit further apart and we could have combatted the Undead in earnest.
>>539932403no, i did not script anything this round.all i did was throw freespawn at flags that there not my collor.
>>539932752i was just happy I got to see Bane Dracolich in action AND Emissary of Anthrax so I can compare the two
>>539933613Bane Dracolich RULED! It has Immortality and it is almost instant, I should have been throwing him around WAY more. Notes for next time.
For the next Blitz, if I go with Merc strat, who do you guys think is the more competent hired killer?Machaka gets recruit anywhere glamor 1 humans who dual wield bane bladesBUTLA Abysia has sacred Assassins and two of them can be recruited in other forts, but they only use poison and have less useful assassin magic
>>539934640I'm not sure but the lady reminds me of Gogo from FFVI so go with that, I say
>>539936889you'll like one of the new fae summons then

Pro tip for people taking Death Explosion in Vanilla: If you go dormant you can keep the DE secret from your neighbors and also enjoy your sacreds not blowing up when they die for 12-15 turns, Having run it both ways many times I prefer going Dormant for the extra points and early game convenience.Captcha AWAA8K lel

>>540001375Dominions Game Hub or Immersion (newbie friendly) are active enough and not the faggiest.Dominions Nexus is the most populated but also by far the faggiest. Would not recommend.Most people are in all of these servers anyway though so some faggyness is guaranteed everywhere.Theres also lucids server which is for tryhards which brings a different kind of faggyness.
>>540000904>>540001780It seems like it's tied to how old a unit(in game terms, not the stat)I remember trying to mind hunt an angel that was teleporting between labs and using newly recruited mages would have it fuck off before the spell reaches them but getting some researchers from the cap had them hit it.>>540001940I know there's national undead but I didn't know you can get other zombie warriors.Mod inspector says there's a third soulless with heavy armor.
