The Moose Is Loose 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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:>>543412548

>>543588689No. My turn isn't going to get in...
this thread has its own dominions waifu in the OP, so it will be fine
its weird TNN has so little art despite being the sort of elves you would expect to be overrepresented, would people really rather see frogs and bats?
>>543592571TNN is a shit boring nation is the problem.
>>543592663TNN is one of the three most important nations of EA
I don't remember if I replied pyrene but this is why I take unaging on shinu. I made a single player and just cranked out like 2 of the sorcerers and both were oldThere are a bunch of other reasons like freeing up death gems early but this is mainly it, its essentially a bunch of stats and +4 reinvig while they are alive. Maybe it isn't optimal but it really feels like shit spending 545 and 2 turns on some geriatric shrek wizard too old to even appreciate the hoards of cat girls
>>543592571Kind of a generic slightly-better-humans without much of a gimmick or unique aesthetic. Fomoria has the cooler Irish fantasy/mythology. Vanheim has pretty similar units and is more exotic to me as an Anglo, and has magic I like more. I'd rather just play one of those instead.That being said, I could do some doodles if you've got some ideas.

>>543614391Shouldn't a massive blow to a limb cripple or destroy it?

>>543616154>The regeneration ability has also been tweaked and is now accurate to the percentage value. Meaning it is no longer much better to have 11 HP instead of 10 HP, regarding regeneration.Nice change.
>>543622105nyoooo my 11 hp turbocommunion slaves
>>543622105so how does it deal with decimal hp Illfraud?
>>543594584regarding lore or multiplayer rankings? who are the other two?>>543592571memes about them are that ea tnn is feminine, maybe way more feminine than la feminiehttps://youtube.com/watch?v=nO5A1q4uy-8and nature might work better on beefier chassis like la zemaitia
>>543622820I'd assume it'd only regen fractions every so many turn. Every 5th or 9th, etc.
>>543623337based default map generator 3 province cap on a peninsula start
>>543617235>>543623337In terms of lore of course, TNN, Marverni and Fomoria are the three EA antecedents to Crannog Ys, which makes them the most important nations of the age
>>543623348Enchanted blood 0.5hp/turn rounds randomly, i.e you have a flat 50% of regenerating one hitpoint per turn. So I'd assume decimals would work the same.
>>543622105I wonder if they will ever figure out a good way to disconnect troop density from size. Having size 6 giants have poor troop density, except if there are some size 3 soldiers mixed in, doesn't make sense. Just might be too much trouble to fix, though.
Anons, is it possible to actually play with you? Im just wondering if i should get Dom 6
>>543628959In that case, I'm going AI, I don't play, with newfags, in case they, are my ally, and make me, lose
>>543629123>using the a-word in the games of thrones (of power)Never had the makings of a pantokrator
>>543629224Maybe, if my allys didn't, always, fuck me....?!
>>543629369foolish boy, I'm talking about the word (pankoman forgive me for uttering it) "ally"
>>543629496As punishment, I've just gone, AI, in my last, game (the ones I'm not, staling in, yet, that is)
>>543629652in, that, case...

how good are zemaitia cap-only thugs?
>>543628959only if the lobby has Sloop's
>>543636685good but you dont want to recruit them until you have construction 5 and other key research. until then you want to recruit vedun mage smiths until you have rolled one of every variant (its only 3 variants) then you spam veduns for fastest research. and after you have your key research you recruit a mix of hochmeisters and antlered veduns depending on your needs.
>>543638053With the right bless they could solo expand as soon as you have ench 2 alt 1 (regen + 25 prot moose), which if it's an incarnate bless is within a few turns.That's 1.5 expansion parties/future raiders per turn using just com points.
>>543636685Incredibly good, basically a sidhe lord with all their bases covered except for stealth
>>543636685very strong but you need to do something about their reinvig, they have a lot of overlap with sidhe lords who are great thugs
>>543640756What sort of bless are we talking here?
>>543644874Stealth
>>543644874In LA, you need something cutting down on incoming damage since lances are crossbows are everywhere. So ethereal, fortitude and awe all work. You may need something else, I haven't tested it, but if you have one of those, then you could add one of the other two or fire shield, regen, vamp weaps or fear/dread.It's going to be painful affording a double incarnate however unless you have some very convenient immobiles or titans to hold the blesses, since you do at least want magic, prod and 8 dominion.
>>543640756yes. personally i prefer scales zemaitia because i dont want many different paths on my pretender and the paths that i do want dont have worthwhile blesses because zemaitia's mages and thugs can cast spells with the same effects.so unless you have a rainbow pretender your bless effects become redundant pretty quick. and even with a rainbow hell bless you get great expansion but you dont scale well (the opposite if you have negative scales) and your research is slower.
>>543640756>>543646374forgot to add, zemaitia has great expansion as it is, you need less than a dozen sylvan knights to defeat most indies.so a hell bless is just not worth it in my opinion.
>>543644874Zemaitia is a scales nation desu
>>543650320There's no such thing as a scales nation in Dom 6.
>>543636685very beautiful
>>543653029How can a Balt afford German clothing???
>>543646374Same, for the scales/dom you want and because larger is such monstrous value on them. But it is an option, especially if Zemaitia becomes a priority dogpile target like Ragha (and it really should with 2 gem Dreamstones).
>>543653570in this artisinal fantasy constructed for us by swedish historians the germans have been conquered and obey their servile instincts as smiths and fort guards
buritsu server... down...
>>543656720erm akshually the ulmish and chudes are working together hand in hand and created a unique melting pot culture
nice army, caelum, too bad mine's better
>>543663664That's a lot of olms.
>>543663945I need a hundred more, if only I wasn't cursed with aweful map placement. NO DRIP, NOne, those are all Agarthan Olms, so its not actually that many
>>543663664I feel like you've just been watching me be a retard all game between storming Helheim and getting crushed by your army. Very unfortunate
>>543666264you have no idea how badly I am doing, man. At least you clearly have a build in mind. I am just coasting by on the power of friendship and Olms. If I was playing any other Agatha other than the one that can spam Olms I would've lost to you.Pale One Agatha, EA/MA Pangaea, MA Man and Ys, these are the only nations I am somewhat competent at, by virtue of them being able to play with minimal magic.
>>543666985PRAISE OLMSIVI
>>543666985Hey now, olms carry Pale Ones in Conquest of Elysium too.
>>543669478Aren't the eles any good?
>>543671568Yeah but stunlocking niggas works. And they have siege ability in the rock hurlers too.
>>543672072Anything good in Agartha itself?
>>543673723Some more gold and gems. And digging a path to hell on the opposite side of the map is always fun.
I really hope Illwinter adds urban terrain for battles in 7
>>543681837They have the autism but not the artistic talent to make a variation for every nation or at least culture groupWould be kino though
>>543682081I mean they could just do what they did for CoE
>>543681837AgreedI desire fantasy Stalingrad too
>>543687843Has any large scale strategy game do urban combat well?
>>543688003I mean tactical squad stuff but that's about it
nice workout
>>543692037I'm suprrised they could skelespam for that long
>>543692759It was two pretenders
>>543666985caelum is coasting by friendship too thoughbeit
>>543698183Caelum is that weak?
>>543688003No not reallyUrban combat is a very complicated thing at both a tactical and strategic level and nobody is attempting to accurately replicate it these days unfortunately, likely due to that very complexity. Obviously in a world like the one of dominions there is minimal urban terrain compared to the current world so it makes sense that it doesn't need be be included, even though it would be nice. It is a shame that my barbarian raiders can't run through the streets murdering civilians and burning down houses while fighting the defenders with some sort of fun raid mechanic, but perhaps in the future it could be possible.
>CoE >first time playing warlock>decide to try digging>accidentally tunnel into a deep sea tile, flooding the whole thing>dig down to avoid drowning>mfw drop on top of a damned village>mfw turns after, serpent fiends climb up the hole>mfw they somehow didn't fatigue and drown in the long tunnel>mfw 40 serpent fiends now in elysium gonna rape the shit out of meI swear the flooded tunnel should've taken five or so turns to travel through. Where did I go wrong?
>>543702749Or in the case of a real time strategy, you wind up with something like Rome Total War's siege battles.ie; you let go of any notion of the gaming knowing how to path anything, click all your troops at the center of the town square, and let Jesus take the wheel praying half your army didn't get stuck on the corner of some building or decides to take the LONG way around (the entire exterior of the city).
>>543703364It's fun if you play as dorfs where you can take over a mine in hell (via teleporting an army to hell via a scroll) and then using Dvalan portals to make a fuck off giant siege battery to kill everything that attacks

more like /deadomg/ oh get pwned
>>543703425even harder for dominions because urban combat is too complicated to represent with the army setup system unless you go either maximum autism with extra orders and setups for urban combat, or go for the CoE technique of fuck it let the AI figure it out.speaking of total war, damn that shit is fucking gay now, can't even garrison buildings anymore in the warhammer ones. My friends got me to play that shit with them, truly an evil move by them, I hate that shit. Fortunately I have converted us to Dominions/CoE, so no more nu-total war for me.
>>543655621Why is larger so good? They don't trample right? Big regen?
>>543738880Permanent stat boosts are always good, including map move. Also big lady awooga
>>543738880besides the movement let you squeeze out an extra province sometimes, it makes the rider much less likely to be hit in many cases while also helping the moose tank more damage, and the extra damage is very useful when they were hitting for a level that is on the borderline against units with nice prot
Are there any scales elf nations? It seems like all elf nations I've tried so far (MA Vanheim and Noog) demand blessings to suffer less attrition. I really just want some good stealthy non-sacred troops that aren't too ruinous in terms of expenses.Also, I know one shouldnt play mods when still learning gaimu but god playing the indies, magic tombola isn't fun. I'm already whipped by my own gachas... Still, I'm happy better indies is a thing but man, that shit is ass.>>543737051The most unforgivable thing I loathe about Nu-TW is the building slot system and every unit having some sort of button to press or toggle for maximum effectiveness. I like Shogun 2, but damn, shit like the general's ganbatte and other units needing to have a press X for a timed buff is tiring.
>>543742035Zem, duh
>>543742035Ys and the new nation of Zemaitia are both very hungry for scales
>>543655621>(and it really should with 2 gem Dreamstones).imagine if they had fixed forge bonus 2, giving 1 gem dreamstones, would have been amazing
An idea: Dominions 6, or a mod or external program, implements a sort of mode, including online multiplayer, where a match goes like:>constraints and settings are set or generated, like scales for the battle, how many gems and points of different kinds the players can use, what nations are available, pretenders, terrain, etc.>players then concurrently pick a nation, and then pick a select number of commanders and troops, pick research levels, items, etc.>players then equip commanders and arrange troops>the battle is then started, with no interaction, and the winner is the one that won the battleA bit similar to how Warhammer was adapted to multiplayer battles in one mode.On a different topic: Have anyone ever streamed blitzes in Dominions 6?
>>543747590Lucid IIRC
>>543743651>>543746875Oh. lel was starting from EA first. I just assumed elves were mega dead by LA. tysm I'll try Ys first then. LA is kinda intimidating with all the communions and crossbows around. Also, I'm getting mixed results from research, Does mirror image pop from missiles or not?

>>543737051>or go for the CoE technique of fuck it let the AI figure it outI mean dominions also takes that approach.I think dominions would have a technically much easier time with urban combat, probably the only prickly bit is if you wanted to have door to door fighting the scale could get a bit awkward.

>>543920128>>543920327If Dominions was a physical board game that I was advertising in stores, I'd put "for 8-16 players" on the front of the box. I feel that's the ideal; it's enough nations for variety's sake and to avoid "rush the 8 point throne victory by turn 25" strats, and few enough that it doesn't devolve into 1 huge snowballing anon slogging to the win while the rest can't be bothered to drag out the game resisting him, let alone try to win.
Dust to Dust
>>543930874shouldn't cataclysm prevent games dragging on for too long? is a "hard" cataclysm setting needed, like where turn 70 is cataclysm, turn 80 is "rocks fall, everyone dies, horrors win"?
>>543904526illwinter will never hire another dev, their company is a passion project between two boomers, so all passion has to be carefully funneled to dominions and the development of new nations
>>543952305what happens when they retire? do any of them have children?
>>543947956Cataclysm is turn 89 and we're on turn 71. There are still six nations who could conceivably win (and you know who you aren't). It's twelve thrones to win and nobody has more than 4. I guess cataclysm will put an end to it but it feels pointless to keep tryharding long-ass late game turns when the winner is going to be chosen by horrors. If cataclysm wasn't so close I actually wouldn't mind, at least there'd be a real winner eventually.
Sorry for being last and not taking doubles the last few times guys. I'm a slow turn taker and this late in the game I've been going to bed late all week taking my turn.
>>543957353good points. normally, multiplayer dominions games deactivate major story events to keep randomness in check, but cataclysm basically reintroduces the kind of randomness that majorly influences who wins. it is a known, major story event that to some degree can be planned and built for, but it is still very random and often has a lot of influence. i wonder if an alternative solution would be to have an alternative game setting to cataclysm, where gradually the number of throne points needed to win are reduced turn by turnexample:turn 1: 16 throne points needed to winturn 70: 16 throne points needed to win. 70 is the turn set in the game settings where gradually fewer throne points are neededturn 71: 15 throne points needed to winturn 72: 14 throne points needed to win...turn 84: 2 throne points needed to winturn 85: 1 throne point needed to winturn 86: game ends with message that horrors win, even though they never showed up and there was no cataclysm and no thrones were eaten (outside someone casting wish for doom horrors)lore could be something that the end of all draws near as horrors are gathering more and more, and that the thrones more readily accept any pretender as pantokrator, in hopes that the end can be prevented

>>543975924company closes, games pulled?
>>543977108I don't know how old the devs are, but considering Dominions 1 was pre 9/11, safe to say our favorite swedes are minimum 50, if not already close to 70. We have to accept that this era of Dominions content is the best its gonna get. Either dementia, medical emergencies, or them selling the IP to the saudis/China will be the end of what we once knew.
>>543977731Knowing the devs background I have the tiniest glimpse of hope that on retirement they will open source something or at least allow explicitly someone to do an open source reimplementation of the game.
>>543977731I can't imagine them selling the IP, given what we know about themI just hope they release crannog ys before the end comes

>>544039791>he's got at least one cap other than his own.And it's Ermor's too. With Well of Misery up as well he might be preparing for a tart or wraith lord thug assembly line.
>>544031702btw how do you like the mixed level throne settings? do you prefer this over level 2 only?
>>544040358With blood vortex up, I'm surprised we didn't get Illwintered yet
>>544040820Maybe he's trying to play semi-covert and is summoning vampire lords instead. If he puts up Illwinter everyone is gonna want his booty cheeks.
>>544040549I like seeing all of the thrones
With lifeweb still dead, dominions is the only thing keeping me alive
>>544040820I only got the vortex up this turn, anon. Besides, Illwinter is just going to get insta-dispelled. People can't handle a little bit of chilly weather.
LAst_until_the_end Xibalbannon that do you need in your bless, any preferences in scales?
>>544047860No one dispels anything these days
>>544051262Heat scales preferably, as for the bless, the Muuch takes all. Except magic weapons, don't need those.

The wheel has turned once more and the VGL signups are open again. Is there any appetite in this thread for more divegrass? Full disclosure: I don't have the time or energy to manage so I'd be signing us up as an auto pilot, but I suppose going AI might actually result in a better performance anyway.
>>544122648>Is there any appetite in this thread for more divegrass?Yes.>I don't have the time or energy to manage so I'd be signing us up as an auto pilotThe /domg/ veteran sees his imminent victory and goes AI to give everyone else a chance at winning. How benevolent.
>>544122648Scripting mid-battle is undominions like.
>>544122648Why would we ever not go AI?
>>544122648Yes
>>544122648Do we have an all-star in this?
Well, I've signed us up for this. Now there's just the question of the roster, do we have anything new to put on the team? Do we want a moose?>>544129887Also I'm not quite sure what you meant by this question? The /vg/ League is a way for /vg/ to assemble an 'all-stars' team to compete in the inter-board cup and we didn't make it in last time if that's what you're asking.
>>544131052Who was our vg rep last time
>>544131052There was that glorious time when Giant Man-Eating Jew was a reffie in 4CC.
Dominions 6 really made spirit sight and true sight cost a lot more than they're worthNow that I think about it magic weapons are barely even taken either due to how the bless was changedDid Illwinter feel Ubar was a little bit too weak?
>>544073928Shinu is about to have 4 caps and has the +research global, he's definitely up there with Jotun/Agartha at least
>>544140894This just means eth chads will now rise
>>544145559When dom6 came out I expected ethereal blesses to be more meta but I never see them
>>544140894spirit sight is niche, but can make it easier to invade the underground, and i guess deep seas. it can also work for casting darkness. it'd be better if it worked against the mirror images of units with the glamour ability (not glamour magic path, the ability, a bit confusing), or gave some bonus against illusions and phantasms, but alas, that would probably be imbalanced. especially after longdead were given spirit sighttrue sight is worse but at least does not require a crosspath bless. it should help against unseen and invisible units, and patrolling them out. and against units that are displaced (-5 attack iirc) and some other glamour buffs. but annoyingly, it does not help against illusions and phantasms afaikmaybe if spirit sight was taken away from units like longdead and some other ones, spirit sight and true sight could be boosted. but that depends on what spirit sight and true sight means, for should longdead have spirit sight or not?magic weapons i disagree with. it's expensive and incarnate, but on the right nations with the right units, it can help cover some important holes in the nation's options at certain timings. a nation with good access to varied evocation spam probably wouldn't care, just spam lightning bolts and fireballs and gifts from heaven and falling frost and other evocations against ethereal units. but a nation with poor or very narrow evocation spam options, like only a single type of elemental damage (exception is probably shock), and with a lack of options for dealing with ethereal, invulnerable or mistform units, such a nation can possibly benefit from it
>>544145618Yeah, you can also take darkvision for only 1 point compared to the 4 of spirit sight, sure it's half as good but also does the job of allowing you to go into caves.>magic weapons i disagree withDisagree with what? What I said wasn't an opinion, just an observation that I see it taken way less often. Yes you can argue that there are situations where you want them or whatever, you can apply it to whatever underused thing in dominions, there's tons of them. People just don't see them as that important, you can do without.
>>544145608my guess is that it's a bit of a gamble. if you take ethereal bless, you likely won't take it imprisoned, since research and evocations will typically make it less useful later in the game. not worthless, but not as useful as early. if you take it early, it can help with expansion and some wars, but it costs a lot, and also requires magic 2, and that means that instead of dumping magic for bless or other scales, you now spend it on magic scale, possibly 160 design points difference, which is a lot for awake or dormant. and if you are unlucky, you start next to muspelheim, la atlantis or a hellblessed hinnom, which causes your bless to turn you into a target, since you spent so many design points on the ethereal blesswithout the magic 2 requirement, i think it'd be seen more often
>>544145974>Disagree with what? What I said wasn't an opinion, just an observation that I see it taken way less oftensorry, you are right, i overlooked that, spirit sight and true sight topic was an opinion in your post, magic weapons topic was an observation, i just continued on from spirit sight and true sight topic and took it as an opinion
Okay, so the savedgames folder contains the map the game is played on too. But if I want to move the map file over to the map folder to use it for single player expansion testing it's either not visible or crashes the game when I select it. Do you need to do some kind of file magic for it?
>>544140894Magic Weapons is probably one of the better weapon blesses, although that has more to do with the other blesses being underwhelming for how expensive they are. It's a good counter pick if you know you're going to be fighting against a nation that leans heavily on magic protection.
>>544146797The map is made of two things.A set of images and a mesh for the connected provinces in a separate file. I would have to go fiddling to remember what the separate file ends with.
>>544146971Yeah, I see 4 files even, two for aboveground and two for cave. But it seems I can't just use them as is and copy to the map folder, it doesn't work.
>>544131052>Well, I've signed us up for this. Now there's just the question of the roster, do we have anything new to put on the team? Do we want a moose?In light of you going AI due to your inherent superiority, we must include Victorious Shinuyama on the team. There is no other way towards victory
>>544147084And yes a moose would be nice
>>544147217I say we replace Usless Kick with MOOSE
>>544148080I argue that we name it MOOSE IS IN THE HOUSE in order to reference John Travolta as 'Moose' in the movie Fanatichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXqP_pWX730
>>544146908i think the other weapon blesses are better relatively, the less damage the weapons do, since they add flat damage that doesn't increase with strength, while magic weapons do as much damage as the unit's weapons normally do. the exception is to deal small amounts of damage to frail units with ethereal and no protection, like illusions and dispossessed spiritseagle warriors probably take well to weapon blesses that add flat damage, since they have two attacks but very low damage. but, eagle warriors are very fragile

LA?Yuck!Maybe if it were all ages...
LA is an acquired taste
>>544109421This is when you actually get better (not just show it) because you can try new/crazy shit without guilt.
What the hell is a 'pain transfer sabbath' and how does it work? Don't the blood slaves just die?

Here's the sad thing about corpse constructs (to whom it may concern)Their "overcharge" is not the same thing as "charged body". Overcharge does 1 damage and it's capped at 1 damage, maximum. Suppose a niefel giant hits the corpse construct, with its lightning weakness it takes double shock damage up to five, so... 2 damage + DRN - DRN, and still max 1 damage.They can kill things like warrior illusions or dispossed spirits, or a lowish HP thug who doesn't have shock resist or regen, but otherwise you can't count on corpse constructs to kill anything. They're just blockers and HP bags.
>>544231828What about the stun damage
>>544235136Thr chance of a stun is proportionate to the damage dealt
>>544238354Damn, so it's useless now except for t strike spam?
>>544193091If you give your slaves bodyguards and then cast pain transfer with a master, any communion fatigue damage to the slave will be transferred to one of their bodyguards. Think of it as like having a soul vortex battery on-demand!
hmmhow many more barbarians do I need to recruit
