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.

hey, is someone interested in joining a team with the with a pig brothers theme (vanheim+marverni) or simply a giants team?
I would put in a Pretender.
>>
>Maybe a bit earlier. 1.500 to 1.600 a.C. Or maybe a bunch earlier.
That means Jomon should be the main gundowper nation. Warlord japan era had the biggest rifle armies in the world.
>>
>>543423059
marignon literally has conquistadors
>>
>>543423059
They were introduced by the Portuguese, though, so by then we should have at least Marignon quite full of guns.
Game's just missing early muskets or at least some good handgonnen and cannons. Some siege machinery would add another dimension to armies too, although I guess the game can't really handle it the way it's built.
>>
>>543430209
so? spain's army wasn't anywhere as rifle-heavy as japan.
>>
>>543431421
Artillery seems like it would be pretty easy to implement to me.
I just want my catapults and ballistae back from CoE in whatever way they can be implemented
>>
I sure hope an expansion strategy that is entirely dependent on Assassinations is gonna turn out ok-ish when my 3 immediate neighbours are Giants/Undead Freespawn/Monster Expanders. At least I am having fun, unlike Jomon and Agartha who already went AI

>>543431421
Siege weapons are already sprited, they just aren't in the game. Probably because they're worse than having a mage cast fireball and that feels stupid.

Muskets aren't in the game just because Kris doesn't like them and that's it.
>>
>>543444486
he's right not to like them, LA's time warp would feel far worse with muskets included whereas otherwise I can basically accept that arco has hoplites while pyrene has knights and crossbows
>>
Blitzmin did you EOL it already or what's up?
Seems like the server hosting process keeps crashing.
>>
>>543448435
There was a 6.31 patch earlier, I assume he's not around to update the server yet
>>
>>543448252
Why should it feel bad? Machine guns coexisted with naked stone-age cannibals.
>>
>>543450675
that might work for LA mictlan, but nothing about LA Arco or Pythium suggests they are horrifically behind the times. Arco has expanded over other nations and seems to be thriving

It just is a poor match for the setting, I think
>>
>>543450967
LA Arco and Pythium wear plate hauberks. Machievelli argued that a return to roman-style arms would be a counter to the pike formations of his own day. It is not an unbelievable concept.

Does Gath survive off of the remaining giants? Since their human troops wear bronze.
>>
>>543473679
the human troops are explicitly kept from having ironsmithing by the giants as a means of keeping them under control, the human subjects aren't allowed anything too dangerous
>>
>>543477032
So the giants and the blood cult are the sole thing keeping them around? Everybody else hulking around in iron plate and crossbows.

The knights are fantastic and worth building around, and the chuds have Lithuanian names, its very cool

Bros, what nations can run the svartalf mastersmith tendie? I can't find a way to check which nations have him on inspector. I'm trying to cook up a drake/wyvern spam build kek. So ideally something with access to 2F2A2W. Glam would be great too for dragon master.

All my thanks. Seems like its the chuds that has the best spread of paths.
>>
>>543444486
>because they're worse than having a mage cast fireball
Of course they should. Catapults aren't anti-troops weapons. Using them can be cool for getting lucky and hitting a big monster or a giant, but they shouldn't really do much in the battlefield, or even nothing at all. They should be slow, a fucking pain in the ass to move, and unable to retreat. But they melt fort walls.
Of course, in order for that to really have a purpose, we'd need forts to actually behave like forts. Without a logistics system, they're essentially pointless because you can just walk a doomstack into wherever and don't care if some troops were hiding in a fort behind you.

>>543498825

Yes, the chuds are unironically near op

Great, someone else that understands the struggle, also the reason why I'm never on more than two games at a time.
