The Wheel has turned once againlolibatgirls.swf 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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/game hosting services>Hinaserver https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/548312356/#548526452https://hinaserver.net>Blitzserverhttps://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.org>Sloop’s Comfy Balance Modhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1zeDyK8Zb_p4lIJ0yp3a3ikMprRkmBCWvy31_4jBen3Q/edit?usp=sharing>other asynchronous strategy gamesSolium Infernum.Previous Pantokrator>>559316504
"Dominions is a wargame" bros have been real quiet since hinaserver showed up.
>>560790651>eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminateIt's probably the 4xiest game to ever 4 or x.
>>560791391Before dom6 anons argued there was no exploration, and in dom5 anons argued there was no exploitation since fort improvements were removed (RETVRN TO RVADS)But yes; its an argument that doesn't happen much anymore.

Terrible terrible turn. I WANT MY GAMER GIRL BATH WATER DAMNIT!!!!Killing 9 sidhe lords was acceptable, but having my arcane decree go up just after eternal twilight hurts
>>560805117Was it just summon spam?
Merrow in the month of March!
>>560809391Very cute merrow. Any other art?
>>560810023crannog ys is the nation with the third most art, after MA and EA xibalba
>>560810515Impressive for a nation that does not exist and never will.
>>560810864Illwinter has never clarified their plans for the release of Crannog Ys. If the czar knew how his people were suffering he'd act at once, but he is surrounded by wicked boyars that want to play co-op mp and develop anything but new dominions nations
>>560805117TL;DR: You're still alive. Correct that. KYS faggot.
>cast forge and a gem gen>suddenly everyone stops warring and naps up, then breaks all naps with youthis was a mistake
>>560810515What's the tier list of nation art like? Who has the best art, who has the most?
>>560809131If you mean what happened with the sidhe lords, those were killed in isolated raiding actions instead of an actual army to army conflict. Another turn like this and Eriu's raiding pressure will collapse.Granted this game is over in 2 turns anyways, but still.
>>560815450https://thronebooru.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=artist%3AchamajiFor quality, anything that has art by chamaji is great, especially ragha in my opinion, and MA Ys has some really professional art that has been done. /domg/'s own sketchanon's best work was probably asphodel, and asphodel is in the top 5 of nations in terms of how much art they have. MA Atlantis also has a surprising amount of well done art for something that is even in depictions an ugly Deep One. In general being an ugly amphibious creature or from latin america seems to be the secret to having a lot of dominions art, and since MA Xibalba is both from latin america and an amphibious creature it has the most art by a landslide

New sloops game?
>>560842167yeah, here *sloops all over the place*
After finishing a few MA games, I think I'm finally ready to explore EA too now. I enjoy imprisoned statblesses and magic phase fun. What are some good nations to start with?
>>560845258I recommend Abysia
>>560845258Play Mekone with the dormant Bronze Colossus, it's one of the funniest things I have ever seenTake 5 in Air for Storm and Wrathful Skies since he can do both with the right equipment/enough gems (or you can pair him up with one of your air randoms after equipping them with an air booster and gems/gem gen to cast Storm in his stead), 2-4 in Earth depending on what you're looking for (you can use him to cast Earthquake but your Cyclopes can do personal flight and then lay it down just fine with earth boots and 3-4 gems per cast), and I personally like taking 3 in Astral for golems, but that's just meEither max Order and Misfortune or if you're feeling retarded like I do sometimes, Turmoil and FortuneI take 2 Shock Resistance, 2 Reinvigoration, and 1 Magic Resistance, adjust that to your personal tastes, but I recommend at least keeping Reinvig aroundAnd if you don't like him, it's Mekone, you don't need a gigabless, just make shit up and try it out as you goThis build also works with Pyrene, but the /domg/ veteran™ in me says it might be a bit of a waste because Pyrene already has high Air access, but who cares, just have fun
>>560845258Vanheim is right up your alley, although you might want to consider imprisoned magic weapons alongside your statbless
>>560845258Vanheim or Tir to experience elves
>>560845258Anons are saying Vanheim but Helheim is better for a rainbow. Vanheim's zerk sacreds have no defensive non-incarnate options, whereas Helheim's cav can get even more def. Lanka's cap mage can also be a Cloud Trapeze thug and a hellrainbow can work on their demons. Fomoria is another option, cap giants are obviously thugs but their anyfort druids are A2H1 giants who can raid with a bless, some gear and mistform.
>>560849754You know there are at least 2 different people, if not 3 in those replies, so the proper grammar would be "kill yourselves faggots". Just wanted to point that out.
>Andromalius and Beelzebub throw the two strongest duelist praetors against each other in the arena>Andromalius' uses the move where he doesn't get banished to Tartarus even if he loses>still gets banished because it's not a loss but a tieI fucking love the laws of Hell

Can a Blood Feast cure diseases?
>>560862674yes
>>560862674>Can a Blood Feast cure diseases?I do not believe that it can.It seems that all of the methods for curing disease are tied to nature one way or another (Gift of Health global can cure it, Cure All Elixir, Cure Disease spell). Otherwise, a few rare indies, the uncommon adventurer event, the Faery Queen, and some pretender chassies come with it innately.The Dom 5 wiki suggests that a regeneration item can prevent death but you will still accumulate afflictions. I cannot vouche for that and it might be talking about in battle. I am unaware of regen items doing anything out of battle.
>>560863816Blood Feast just acts like a healing check no?
>>560864014As it is described on the dominions 6 mod inspector, it is 10 checks to remove afflictions (the red hearts). The Dom 5 wiki states that Disease is a special kind of affliction.However, Dominions generally seems to treat disease in other circumstances as something completely separate from afflictions. For example, disease resistance and affliction resistance are two completely separate things.Blood Feast might cure disease or might have a chance to cure disease or it might not cure disease and only address normal afflictions. My money is on it only affecting normal afflictions.
>>560866919Well, I will test it (right in the multiplayer) regardless.
>>560848962>>560851683>>560853808>>560848041>>560846272Thanks, bros. I'll try Vanheim first then. It felt a bit shit in MA, I'll see how it works in EA.What's the reason for magic weapons? I heard that Ubar is broken and you need them to fight it, is that why?
Agartha didn't say anything about the fruit basket I sent them...
>>560875027
>>560874856Ubar and Therodos
>>560874856Vanheim has limited options for their zerkers in an imp rainbow. Consider undying x5, recup and enchanted blood. This gives them effectively 10 more HP, 0.5 regen and heals all the wounds they'll be taking. This helps sponge the first hit they take before zerk kicks in and their prot shoots up. It's also good tankiness and wound healing for your thugs.Besides that you'll want some reinvig (zerkers have 6 enc + 3 fatigue per round while zerking) and any elemental resists necessary vs the nations in your particular game.>UbarMW to beat Ethereal isn't necessary, Vanhere attack skill and attack density is high enough to beat them. Just take sulphur haze to not worry about their thugs and magic.
>>560874856>>560875737You want a plan for Ys if they're in there, too.
>>560875409Kek
What are your favorite indie mages/units? These wolf shaman guys kind of suck but I didn’t have any other ways to get death magic so I recruited one and got death on the first try lol. 10% chance, praise tendor
>>560883181cynos, lizards, jade and crystal hoescynos just have so many randoms there'll always be one you don't have, the other three can have non-native magic but it also comes in a useful form (mossbody for jades, communions for the others)technically garnet can blood communion too but that's a pain in the ass
>>560883181Hoburg Crossbows
>>560874856Magic weapons is just a nice to have in general, and dealing with army of mist gets much easier lategame if your sacreds have it. Its also a cheap incarnate that fits well on many imprisoned rainbows, especially those looking to forge the expensive astral boosters later.I think its probably a coin flip on whether to take that; while powerful there are other tools that don't make it strictly necessary. Unholy weapons is also quite nice on Vanheim, as dance of ephemeral blades, shroud of flying shards, and enchanted salt will all carry the unholy weapons effect. Unholy weapon Vanheim elf thugs are probably the strongest of the elf thugs in 1v1 against other elves, mostly due to enchanted salt.>>560853808Quite interesting takes, don't see any reason to disagree. I do think the Vanheim Vanjarls are slightly better than Helheim Vanjarls, at least when considering mass magic phase plays. Curious how the offensive focus of Vanheim's sacreds changes the value of a rainbow pretender compared to Helheim, and possibly pushes the ideal away from a statbless into an imprisoned bless with multiple of the 3-4 cost items. I for one am curious how unbreakable does on Vanheim.
>>560886147They don't have enough HP for unbreakable to matter though?
These arena matches are breaking my fucking willpower
Good night /domg/
>>560901148*plaps u*
>>560901148*kisses* sleep cozy!
Someone please use angelic host
>>560908964Hmmmm... nyo
>>560853808>Lanka's cap mage can also be a Cloud Trapeze thug and a hellrainbow can work on their demonsCan you give an example of a hellrainbow bless for Lanka?
>>560914842You can do more with incarnate, but most of it is huge def stacking (def x5 + blur) and the mandatory fire res. Your sacreds are all size 4 or over size 5 with a lot of HP, so larger has no drawbacks and adds a lot of meat. If you're specifically thugging enchanted blood can help keep hp topped up if incoming damage is kept low, and the MR is good against demon smiting.
>>560915313Defense stacking leaves the sacreds vulnerable to arrow fire, and it doesn't help them kill anything. Defense stacking will probably die to niefel or muspel giants with regeneration and additional bless defenses, since defense stacking on Lanka will generally not be able to overcome the regeneration. It will also fare poorly against nations with reasonable archers like Ur, T'ien Ch'i or Sauromatia, or perhaps even nations with poor ranged units like slingers. I don't know how it might perform against glamored nations. Ubar is weird, but Ubar might just never get hit, two attacks per square isn't a lot against unseen + ethereal + glamour. And Ubar does have decent archers.Generally, archers and the weakness of two attacks per square just seems atrocious for Lanka with a bless about defense stacking.What would you supplement the defense stacking with? Imps, ganas, storm demons, sabbath skelespam, something else?Larger would be good for extra map movement, but as for the combat boost, Lanka should have decent access to nature mages to buff troops with enlargement, so while larger is good, it can already be covered somewhat well.
>>560915313Any weapon bless?
>>560926451Tweps
>>560932986lol
>>560893462Possibly, although I would certainly want to run the undying + EB combo. I don't think its ideal, and possibly far from it, but I'm curious of the outcome. Moderately high prot berserkers tend to build up a good number of afflictions, or at least they do when I play Vanarus. It'll be worse in EA due to the number of giants though.
>>560937994>It'll be worse in EA due to the number of giants though.does blood bond trigger berserk?
>Mammon summons the beast>teleports it to the gates of Pandemonium>the leviathan shows up from an event and starts wrecking his shitAbsolute cinema
>>560941082I think it counts as being damaged, so yes.
>>560947401it's incarnate, so i guess it might not fit
>>560945343Lel
>oh well, letting norska grab one more throne so we stay chill and focus down the bootleg chinese is a good tradeoff>he wins
>>560950854Sorry, bro! I got blessed by Nurgle and was desperate to end the game before I got too sick to play.
>>560908964Best I can do is leviathan
Holy shit Beezelbub fuck off
*PLAP PLAP*YOU WILL TAKE THE THRONES*PLAP PLAP*YOU WILL GET HAPPY*PLAP PLAP*YOU WILL ASCEND
>>560963780Bro I'm a dom 2 pretender...
>>560974732DID I FUCKING STUTTERED?
>>560947854Blood bond also suffers from counters coming online later, in particular midget mashers and gifts from heaven, so even if you could take it imprisoned I'm not sure how net useful it would be.
Are nations with W mages secretly overpowered?I don't think I've ever once seen someone take a cold res bless or ever cast a cold res spell in all the time I've played. Surely you literally just waltz through everyone because apparently it's completely unexpected?Meanwhile every game I play in everyone has a minimum of Fireres +5, Poison res +5 bless.
>>560984536Doing what? Falling frost? Oh no, 10AP dmg that will hit empty ground half of the time and that will work exactly once before I DO start buffing resist and turn it into 5APNah, I wouldn't say it's overpowered, secretly or otherwise.
>>560984536Agree with the other poster, and see the general lack of CR mostly because CR 5 with prot is viable against most cold damage outlets such as grip of winter or falling frost, frozen heart being the outlier. W magic however is extremely important for thug based approaches as quickness is the best army thug buff hands down, in many cases effectively doubling the output of your thug squads. Underwater fights needing water is contrasted by not having any magic phase capability.
>>560984536Not unless you're a cold scales nation playing against C'tis.

new game when
>>561003551It was pretty tight, but I'm going to guess you won't be able to pull enough gems out of your ass to repeat that trick. Still, good semi-final hurrah. I appreciate you coming out to fight me instead of holing up down below although I assume you did so more out of practical concerns of being outscaled than anything else
If I cast Manifestation on my own fort that's being sieged, am I risking my own commanders?
>>561006184Yeah that's pretty fair, just sitting in my hole wouldn't be that much fun for anyone. This is my first EA Agarthan game and they are fucking crazy ... rushing conj 3 was 100% the right call. Still that was a good and aggressive setup, to the point where you even did a pillage cycle to maximize foreign rec. I just decided if I was coming out of my hole, to do so in the place with the worse PD ...
>>561010239Thanks. Those magma children hurt lots. I probably should've held back the first group of camel riders and either had the Jinn attack the front or the rear en masse. Spreading them around did not work out how I'd hoped. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much work the hawks did for me, in both fights. I threw them out as a sort of act of desperation, but it it probably won both. If my dudes had needed to contend with both the seal guards and the elementals at the same time I probably would've lost. It was definitely the right choice to keep them in the back on your part.
New ea sloop game when
>>561013371Give it a few days and I'll have a massive update with stuff for Ulm, Caelum, Berytos, Pelagia and R'lyeh.
>>561015572This just seems more like a middle finger to the already low population of the early age, rather than something martially concerning. The poor thing only has 20 health and 10 attack.
>>561026714It's a mindblaster first and foremost.

Awaken Sleeper
>>561031526Because I'm trying to annoy you, of course; I know how intelligent conversation makes you feel uncomfortable.In many ways I'm afraid you'll leave, the entertainment value you provide cannot be understated. So I hope you embody the sentiment that if you plan on going through life stupid, you better be tough.
>>561026714It's only 10 popkill and 0.3 unrest on a cap-only sacred, you'd need a lot of them to really AIDS up land. EA R'lyeh doesn't want to popkill/unrest coasts it's taking, so you'd want to use them on land sparingly or for coup de grace operations where you aren't, say, sitting on the enemy cap you're trying to take with 1k popkill and 30 unrest for more than a few turns.And SCBM automatically increases the pop level of extremely low provs on game start, so there's more pop to go around period.
>>561044828based. time to enjoy some ea r'lyeh and pelagia on land
>>561044997For Pel Triton Kings (EA and MA) got giantlike stats befitting their sprite and base S2, so they can all teleport thug with skullcap and 1/3 can do it natively. Their Sideraspist also got formation fighter and became a decent little unit for EA.These combined with the old addition of cheap W1S1 ichtyids in coastal forts means EA Pelagia has a reason to do things with blesses and a way to project power on land.
>>561043437TL;DR: You're still alive. Correct that. KYS faggot.
>>561045706Did you add anything from DE?
I'm claiming my final throne this turn; as its forted there shouldn't be a way to interrupt. If anyone has any last things they want to do, do them now. Sceleria, I'll roll out what I can to fight that.
>>561050991bro thinks he is him
Cordganked again :(
>>561050991I'm moving the stack into Trackless Wastes, that's the closest I can get to your slave army,
>>561050616I've previously stolen QoL features, item changes and a few heroes from DE. I haven't added anything like summons.
Sloop my man, you shoulda stopped at frog hats, now I can't get back into vanilla and I constantly have arguments with my friends over including SCBM in our private games
>>561051889can rlyehs nonsacred mindblasters go on land too or just their sacreds? something sad about 5 to 6 was the mindlords losing their access to death magic. necrodai were a really cool chassis but only the small ones can roll death anymore
>>561052807This is also coming.>(DONE) EA R'lyeh's Mind Lord gains 10% D random (otherwise we'll never see the size 9 Necrodai anymore)Granted 10% on a 500g str cap mage probably lets you get one at most as an easter egg, but otherwise you have to fit it into their randoms and I'd have to think about what to do. It wouldn't be worth diluting their main random, going from 50% chance for W4 or S4 to 40%.
>>561015572>stuff for UlmHow exciting. I think EA Ulm is much stronger than its reputation suggests, and if anything what I would want is some improvement on the basic maul weapon, or perhaps giving warrior smith a better hammer? I would love the maul to have 2 extra damage, which also might give a use case to recruit maul barbs instead of great sword ones.
>>561015572has slops finally lost it? now instead of >le wholesome buffing, no nerfing its just straight up revamping the game and not even pretending anymore?officially unplayable slop, yes thats what it is its SLOP
>>561056517hey atleast he didn't go full JBBM with the amphibious gibodai also having ethereal and floating for some reason. buffing nations you literally never see is a good thing. they might as well not exist in their current state
do your turns!!!
>>561015572Instead of killing population, could they while on land get negative reinvigoration like some clockwork troops?
>>561057340>buffing nations you literally never see is a good thingok so buff therodos and make it even more obnoxious
>>561057862you see therodos all the time? when's the last time you saw EA rlyeh or EA pelagia
>>561057919I'm in 1 game currently with EA R'Lyeh, while also having them both in a previous EA Ulm game and EA Rus game. Their slave troll push with falling frost is decently strong, their issue imho is that people have no idea how to play them rather than their tools being inadequate. Their UW bowl matchup is decent too.
>>561055631Ulm changes are enc 3 -> 2 factionwide (because barbs have enc 2 and EA Ulm is described as a barb faction with full barb stats in everything else), and Antlered Shamans getting D1, so you can TB them all with a staff.>I think EA Ulm is much stronger than its reputation suggestsIt's good at elfing, but it dies to real magic and MR checks.>>561057754Popkill is the coolest thematically, though I get the popkill hate. If I could make them harm the accompanying slaves and only popkill if slaves run out I would, but Illfraud would never allow such glorious mod tools.Exhaustion would require you to either take a melee gibodai hellbless (which is very hard to use with the surface debuffs) or stack reinvig to get around, and would partially counter the OP mindblaster reinvig stacking. Would probably increase the unrest from 0.3 to 0.4 - 0.5 if I removed the popkill.
>>561063704>TB?

>>561063704Those are cool changes that I don't think are problematic. Having a more consistent access to D2 instead of 1/16 shamans will be quite nice.>but it dies to real magic and MR checks.Not really. By the time enough MR threats appear to prevent fielding Ulmish troops, normal human troops will also be effectively removed from the battlefield. Yes you can't build huge doomstacks with EA Ulmish troops, but its a thug nation which shouldn't be doing that anyways. Warrior smiths all have solid MR and can cast iron will. There is some tech that works exceeding well against the Ulms early, but thankfully its not widely utilized; you even buffed it and I still don't see it used.I still harp on about the maul's damage, but most of that boils down to bludgeon being a shittier damage type on the whole, plus great swords have good atk/def stats. Cool, thanks for all the effort!
>>561066848Maul's already the hardest-hitting mundane weapon in SCBM, hits for 11. Iron Warriors do one more damage than Steel Warriors with their magic greatswords.
>>561066848>There is some tech that works exceeding well against the Ulms early, but thankfully its not widely utilized; you even buffed it and I still don't see it used.Unbearable splendour?
>>561066848>exceeding well
>>561069232Curse of stones.
>>561072473Requires E3 and some research. Though it's true that it's powerful against EA Ulm.
>>561073187Alt 3 or 4 is typically a priority for many nations looking at the AOE 1 buffs, so the opportunity cost is more reasonable than at first glance.

Remember to kill any pedophile moderators, IRL.
>>561155678wot
>>561155101And Lilith too
>>561134090Magic-weapon undead inanimates is arguably one of the worse match-ups for wraith lords. In that specific case, going for tartarians might be a better option. Even though tatarians are complex to get working, regarding turning them into commanders, healing them of afflictions (they are undead, might require corpse stitcher), and dealing with their insanity.Apart from that, wraith lords can cast wither bones or control the dead, which might do a little bit. They are immortal, so unless Asphodel can do something about that immortality, they might be able to wear down the enemy a bit. And they can always assist armies with summoning longdead. If you have lots of death gems and construction 7, you could even try to go for undead mastery, but that may take way too much, even with empowering and lots of death boosters.

Actually tried soul vortex for the first time, did not realize it also hits friendlies.rip to my (cheap) fluffer. but is there some world where you just throw them next to some units set to HOLD and let them steal their life for an early boost?
>>561186091Yes, but typically you want to put 5 bodyguards with regen as soul vortex batters; lamias and trolls tend to be the preferred choice, but things like vine ogres or basic troops can work if buffed with regen. Several nations view the lamia soul vortex battery as core tech, particularly the CTis nations.
>>561186414But I can't use it in conjunction with slaves?
>>561192651communion slaves? just spread them out if you don't want them to die to soul vortex. if you mean blood slaves, put the blood slaves on another commander and keep him close enough near whatever blood mage is casting soul vortex so that the slaves are still usable but won't die to the vortex
ANDROMALIUS WHY
When I took my bless, I really didn't expect to survive and see it turn on. Now lets see what I can do ... sad that I don't have summonable sacreds.
i can't do it lads, i'm going aithis is my second expansion party that i've lost to indies. i am utterly raped and kwabbed, gomensorry
>>561201103I lost a province to a random event that fucked my economy for a few turns, you'll be fine
>>561201103>failspanding when your recruits are elite 0 res fir bolgs, undercosted giants with natprot and giga elite elveshow did you rape yourself with your own micropenis
>>561198598what did he mean by this
I just got elfed by a Marignon with an incarnate Obfuscate bless.Hadn't seen that before.
>>561203968My incarnate isn't that funny, but that is pretty fucking cool. I've seen some rather cool Mari blesses lately, and its on my list of things to try out.
>>561203968So are they all stealth paladins then?
>>561208250Paladins and chalices mostlyOne raid was a Harbinger, but unluckily for them I anticipated Asphodel attacking that province with a lone thug, scripted two sorcs with skull staffs to run up and banefire blast it before it would start attacking. Mari coincidentally did the same thing with their harbinger so a bit of luck and coincidence burned 25pearls and 35nature gems.

>>561211813Night cutie!*kisses*
>>561201919like thisi forgot about the imp spam>>561201864you are vastly underestimating how badly i fucked up
>>561212783Still its better to stay in. Your turn times will be short, and when someone does attack you then put all your effort into causing them pain. Last stands are when you get creative AND efficient with your units, plus the minimal cost in trying stupid shit. Once you cannot cause any further damage then going ai is acceptable, but bowing out early just because of a bad expansion just fucks the players farther away from you, as all your neighbors will get free lands, possibly skipping their first war.
>>561213497yeah yeah fine i'll continue on in this doomed world i've created, but shit dude i am screwedi haven't played fomoria before and i assumed 20 nemedians would be good enough for anything short of a throne, especially with my prophet thereguess i'll do better next time
>>561212783fair, never fuck with foulspawn provs without scoutingthey can be hiding one of the four rare crossbreeds with a conal aoe fuck you, too
>>561213785I've scouted at least one other player with less than 8 provinces, so I don't think things are completely screwed for you. I started sharing a cap circle with Atlantis, but I got reasonably lucky with my expansion; even then I got hit with a barb attack this turn.
>>561213785it's domg, just wait a few turns until one of your neighbors goes ai and then you get some free clay

What faction should i play if i like this aesthetic?
>>561262995LA TienBut more actually EA Sauro since it's male cannibals domming amazons
>>561262995In a strict sense, LA Tien Chi supposedly represents the mongels, which the White Scars were inspired by; however the hot ladies in support will be highly lacking. I'd think an offensive stat bless TNN would actually fulfill this. You'd have strong offensive mounted thugs, nature and air themed without a focus on forests, plus tons of hot elvish bitches everywhere you look. Plus their style of warfare is highly mobile, much like the White Scars are supposed to be.
>>561263164>>561263679I will check out both, sounds great
Wrath of the Ancestors
New player here, I like the Freak Lord. He looks funny and I really want to Freak It. What's the best age/empire combo to Freak It so hard that I attain divine apotheosis?
>>561275548Anything with easy access to blood searchers, and make sure you give it the right paths to cast crossbreeding / improved cross breeding.Huge meme strategy, unfortunately, but it's fun and you do get pretty nice things sometimes.Blood is very micro intensive and not really beginner friendly, though, so make sure you test things in single player first.MA Abysia or EA Mictlan are good ones.
>>561275548I've run freaklord for EA Ulm and in a few other place; mostly for some rainbow dormant/imprisoned stat bless that had blood surge, or one of the blood incarnates. Baring something weird, the choice between dom 1 pretenders is driven by which path you need to the highest, and what rainbow starts with 1 in that path.In short, any nation you want unholy weapons, vampiric weapons, or blood bond alongside a decent stat bless. If you just want the incarnate and don't care for the stats, taking a fountain of blood or similar tends to be better.
>>561275548Freak Lord works for pretty much any nation, but generally it's best if they have native blood access to begin withTake at least 5 blood on your freaky boy so he can craft Brazen Vessels and other boosters to give himself and other blood guys +1 blood per item, this is how you can reach stuff like Demon LordsMaybe take some earth, like 3, so you can do Dwarven Hammers for your crafters, and Earth Boots and Blood Stones for your earth guys (if you have any). Blood Stone is important for the Freak Lord since he can't equip something simpler like Earth Boots, and then he can cast Father IllearthIf you can fit in like 3 Astral, you can also summon golems and do some other "fun" stuff, but astral leaves you open to other astral mages so watch out for thatOther than that, just experiment and do what seems cool to you, it might not be thematic to give the freaky blood guy like 5 in air and tell him to go shit lightning on everyone you don't like, but you can make it work if you want
>>561275548>take dormant scales or bless as EA/MA Pan or MA Pyrene>blood hunt and spam crossbreeding>use your N3s to cast Gift of Reason on any Ettins you get and turn them into thugs
Are there any items which give a commander the beastmaster trait?
What factions for this kind of aesthetic? (Read:pimped clothes)
Summon Ogres
>>561297402The new moose faction, maybe (Zemaitia?). Otherwise, one of the elf factions? TNN have capes IIRC.
>>561297402Late Ulm has vampiric and gypsy drip, Vampire Lords in general look pretty well-dressed
>>561297402The Goat reminds me of Pyrene.
>>561308426I agree, but I think the drip is separate enough from the goat for me tonnot recommend it.
>>561297402Whats preventing irl women to dress like this?
>>561309875Uglier women
>>561309875Expensive since it's not mass production. Social norms. I wish cloaks and capes were fashionable though, they look sick and are relatively easy to manufacture.

Do undead dissolve if THEIR commander dies, or only if ALL commanders with D die?
>>561353778iirc its all commanders with Undead Command. I might be wrong and its all commanders, though.
>>561353778all commanders. one of the things you have to balance with any nation that brings lots of undead is to not bring too many units with minds as mindless units count so little for HP rout calculations
>>561348437You get a pretty nice titan on the spot
>>561354029>>561353863AnnoyingI'm going to hit an Aspho with Firestorm which will annihilate the chaff and force a rout, but his stupid pretender is immortal so it'll keep fighting and keeping the behemoths and fury's alive.He unintentionally trapped my anti-pretender thug by 'suiciding' a twice born on a fort, but it beat the measly shit pd and trapped him inside.Now it's a coinflip on whether or not my mages are smart enough to cast Banefire on it or not when it dive bombs my backline after casting Rigor.
You'd think mindless bodyguards would retreat with the commander they're supposed to be guarding instead of just disappearing.
>>561357624mindless units should really be guaranteed bodyguards because it's not like they're gonna be on break getting drunk or something but would be OP i suppose
sloop release the update so we can get a game going already.....

how do i into blood magic
>>561374543Utterdark
>>561379904Put guards on Blood 1 magesPut said mages in 7k to 10k pop provincesKidnap little girls in said provinces, also remember to make labs in them to make your life easier, but you can ferry the girls around with scouts and whatnot as wellHave your Blood 2+ guys cast ritual spells of your liking (Devils, Demon Knights, and Storm Demons are pretty good)In combat, bring a couple girls with your blood mages that you choose to be combat casters to shit out imps and whatnot, and cast some bullshit like that life for a life spell against thugs/SCs, and blood rain against armies
>random event cucked me out of tribute tokens needed to buy the shit to win this vendetta
>>561384456>randomAll according to keikaku
>>561379904what the other guy said but make sure to make sanguine dowsing rods unless you already have an effective blood level of 3 when hunting, because low level blood mages can fail to find any slaves
>>561391070It's honestly pretty funny how demons are more than willing to call the big man upstairs, jesus, and angels to make hell even worse for their rivals
>>561391598Also fucking insane how shit is developing. The first game we played a few weeks ago was so calm and chill. I can barely keep track of what the fuck is going on now>mammon took pandemonium with the beast>the leviathan and the angel are duking it out AGAIN>beelzebub has somehow accumulated 400+ prestige and a bunch of hyperinflated legions>everyone's ganging up around pandemonium>andromalius got once again bitch slapped by walking into the leviathan's path>someone's got the puzzle cube and could suddenly teleport a legion anywhere at any moment
I have thief fatigue...
>>561395429Nice to see across all games this is an issue
I'm having heart palpations at this game
Does pandemonium always get sieged
>>561391569I think B2 hunters can mostly avoid SDRs as they have a 10% + 40/level * 2 levels = 90% success rate without, but B1s nearly double their output with them. However assigning a good number of your blood mages to summoning duty is probably correct early. If the nation primarily has slow to recruit cap only hunters and I have a reason to commander spam, then during peacetime I utilize those mass commanders to hunt, as each effectively gives around half a slave of output a turn. That does impact your income fairly significantly because tax generation occurs after the blood hunting unrest generation but before the patrolling unrest reduction, nevermind the consequences if you don't patrol enough.
Ubar, don't think that was me avoiding the fight with you, it was more about me seeing that nice Oceania fort and wanting it for myself.
>>561406492Oh shit yeah I forgot to tell him to patrol>>561379904Hey guy! Don't forget to patrol the provinces where you blood huntIf you have an Air 2 guy, you can cast Call of the Winds for cheapo patrol birds, if not, then just summon some other shit for that.
Twiceborn
Reanimation
>>561406492This should not be true in dom6, B2s are supposed to be only 70%. Though I have had a strangely high success rate with an indie camazotz lately so they may have stealth reverted the nerf at some point.
>>561418991Interesting, was pop size a factor?
>>561364959tomorrow (probably)
>>561421434I don't think so, the chance should not be increased with pop, only decresed below 7500. Maybe I just got lucky.
Has anyone had issues with summoned imps not flying into battle? I just had a ton of PD harpies and summoned imps just walk forward, which did absolutely nothing vs Ys's raiding party. It is funny that I picked a fight with Ys, whose bless is nearly custom designed to fight me. Oh well.

>>561391598Is Solium Infernum still fun, or does it have drawbacks and issues in its game design? Ignoring the kinds of bugs and jank that would probably be fixed eventually if the game had greater commercial success.
>>561357624>>561358241Some mindless units probably need directions from commanders. And thus they might not do anything if the commander is distracted or is asleep, for instance.Longdead might be terrible as bodyguards, simply due to the diseases and rotting stink they might have that would make them undesirable to keep around when sleeping, for living commanders.
What happened to all the Warhammer posts?
>>561440767We're dead
>>561440534It's fun but dueling and elocution are op along with pandemonium being as well defended as a Saudi oilfield and plots being a retarded gacha
We can all agree that this shit is overpowered on Carrion Furies right?At least throw on a hard mr negates or something, there isn't a single fully kitted pretender in the game that can actually beat a dozen of these nailing it on the same turn.
>>561447173whoops forgot image
Casting AI in action.Put up Firestorm, all of these 14 prec banefire capable sorcerers at close range chose to instead cast horde of skeletons.
>>561447173I'd tell you, but I never see Asphodel. They might be OP, but Man is even more OP and completely rolls over them every single time.
>>561445251Also tribute spamming
>>561448309Who are you to tell a genius wizard what to do?
>>561448564Good, as a Dom 3 veteran, cavalry deserved it
>>561418991>>561421434Actually I am dumb, I checked now and the indie camazotz also has Blood Searcher, it just does not show up in stats unless he actually randoms into blood.
>>561454149Lel
>>561448905kek
>>561405194Well, if you aren't neck to neck for victory and you don't have a way to permanently take out whoever's leading, going for Pandemonium is kinda your only chance>>561440534It's pretty fun. Dominions has this thing where the early game is fun and exciting, and then it slowly turns into a chore as you approach the late game and micro increases. SI is the opposite: at first you can't really do shit, but as you progress options start opening up rapidly. And due to the design, it doesn't turn into micro hell, and shit usually stays pretty tense until the very end.Right now we've got a clear leader on prestige points (400+, everyone else is at 50-150), but a different player has taken the capital of Hell and will win if they're not destroyed or the capital isn't freed. But in those cases the other guy wins, so everyone needs to find a way to take both fuckers out.It's got some annoying jank about making games (minimal match customization, having to say how many players and not being able to change it later...), but the game itself is pretty nice and fluid.Balance is debatable. I partly disagree with >>561445251. Dueling is strong but it takes many turns to give you one victory. Elocution is definitely strong but it also costs resources and a ritual slot every turn, which is very expensive early on. It is pretty nice later, though.Pandemonium should be a bit better defended and tribute hoarding is too strong and encourages passivity, but the next update is addressing those two problems by giving mass demanding tribute a penalty, and by allowing everyone to support Pandemonium with legions

>>561621396Just a heads-up, I don't know if it's a hackjob of a crack, or if the game's just buggy on its own, but sometimes as soon as map generation starts it experiences an error that needs a restart or you'll just be stuck waiting foreverMight be tied to a specific map type, I really haven't looked into it>>5616222703 and 4 were the best music-wise, but 3 wins out for me because it also had the comfiest UI
>>561622473idk in 3 the commander icons did not include their magic paths so if you wanted to know their paths you had to either rename them or manually open very single one

>>561637968It gets blown to pieces by any decent counter thug Granted, it flies
>>561637968Because it has no magic paths. The only thing that you're gaining is the item slots.
>>561447286>>561448564I did some testing10 of them 'reliably' kills any SC I've thrown at them even with an insane 15+ reinvig. (fatigues out after 3 rounds then just gets hammered to bits)15 guarantees absolutely nothing currently in the game survives them. You have to spend 75 gems for even equal items for something asphodel gets for free. But they aren't equal, they all have MR negates, or Inanimate immune, or at least something to prevent the fatigue.Maybe the helm that auto casts lightning bolt and the shield that auto casts shocking grasp would help, but if the aspho player was smart enough to take the strength of earth bless (+10FR/SR) then you're shit out of luck there as well.It's actually insane how amazing these things are with the +10FR/SR bless, single handedly carrying all of Asphodel on their backs.

>>561651227That's what I was thinking. It's not "efficient" but I think it'll be pretty effective.
Man, for being a game about big magic and mythology, Dominions really sucks at making monsters feel dangerous
>>561668051Well usually monsters in games have a much higher hp pool and some sort of defense mechanism or aoe ability to make sure chaff don't roll em
>>561668147that's fair
>>561668051dominions has thousand of chassis types and hundreds of spells, but really you see the same few dozen chassis being summoned and the same dozen or so spells being cast over and over. i wish they would do a big pass over everything and bring things more in line
>>561665969Yeah, GG. It probably wasn't necessary to usurp but it's definitely more exciting.I was using my prophecy 6 to scry relics a dozen turns ago and immediately found Mammon had a kingmaker crown, so I thought, I'm not letting that happen to me and started preparing to hold Panda. Then Mammon went for taking Panda himself right before I committed which obviously meant I wasn't his target, and so I could have settled for teleport backstabbing him and winning the election. I was paranoid though because I had mentally committed to the usurper victory and hadn't bothered scrying Andromalius who could have had a kingmaker himself, and so I thought screw it, trust the plan, and risked fighting everyone. Definitely more risky than that tiny possibility but that's on me for not scrying to be sure.
>got up Forge and Well, became the threat ~turn 35>had to fight Sceleria, Asphodel, and Marignon alone, actually succeed, took Scelerias cap while holding off the others>now turn 46, Ys just teleported their pretender onto a throne, stole a throne from Shinu, and stole a throne from Aspho and will claim all this turn giving them the winning 5.I wish Shinu could do something here, but his entire army is misplaced and he's a brand new player in his first MP game.Struggled so much, all for nothing. This game is brutal, but fuck me it was fun actually managing to hold off three fuckers as Machaka.
GG beelzebub. felt i did pretty well for my first game, coming back against astaroth was nice. are we starting another or waiting for the next patch?
>>561555042why are there indie merrow and ys merrow here? Why would ys ever make indie merrow?Is this crannog ys???
>>561679016It ys crazy
>>561676190>almost 600 prestigewhat the fuck
>>561676190How the hell did you get so much prestige
>>561676068Yeah it sucks when you're stuck in a multi front war and then someone throne rushes to win because other players didn't take adequate precautions. But as you said, its still quite fun to be grinding out that war even if you don't claim victory. This is one of the worst case scenarios for having lower throne victory requirements, the other being a straight early rush; compared to the worst case scenarios for high throne requirements I think the choice is fairly obvious. Despite it being somewhat bullshit, at least you can say it was both interesting AND required a decent level of planning. Hopefully the other players pay more attention next time and have the experience to do something about it.
>>561637968If you can empower in F for phoenix pyre, it can function like a higher tier phoenix pyre golem without the magic phase capability. Unfortunately that's a pretty bad trade, although the iron dragon chassis is much more capable in actual combat, you can reliably kill it with FR 15 flying thugs using an axe of hate. With a thaum discount site I could conceive of times where I'd prefer the iron dragon route. In my recent game I was viewing them as a high tier E dump alongside me using a const 20 discount site, but I wouldn't have considered divine naming them.
So are we renaming these to /async/ or what?
>>561698404We are still primarily /domg/What other async games are there tho
>>561698780We got og and new Solium Infernum, we got the Field of Glory series, Shadow Empire, Advanced Tactics, People's Tactics (think this one is LAN-only by now)This one doesn't really count cause it's SP-only, but Armageddon Empires is by the same guy that made Solium Infernum
>>561617623Is there a lobby setting to anonymize players? We should start using it.
>>561700424Shadow Empires, how is it?
>>561698404solium has its own thread in /vst/, and I don't think we're desperate enough for posters to allow shadow empire
>>561704843NTA but incredibly autistic, even by my own autism standards. Actual spreadsheet simulator. Probably pretty cool if you put in the 50 or so hours to learn how the fuck to work it.

>>561684775>>561691948I was passively receiving 13 a turn from PoPs for the last 1/3rd of the game, plus legion victories almost every turn were feeding into that as well. I think I was at only 450 or so when I hit Pandaemonium 4 turns ago.>>561704368I would like this if it were a thing. Not a fan of discord meta ganking.
>>561704368>>561713069Not as far as I've found. Probably the worst change of the remake
it would be sad if /domg/ stopped being /domg/, and all talk of field of glory or shadow empires or whatever notwithstanding, it would be entirely because of amuys becoming interested in solium infernum

>>561715027/domg/ and friends
>>561715027What makes /domg/ special is the nature of diplomacy in Dominions, and how having only in-game messaging with the general chat drives creativity. In several cases when I needed to move diplo along quickly, I would tell the other party to leave a semi-coded message in the general. Something like "get on over here and die like a X", or "Y needs to pack their shit and go home." I've done several different types of public diplo and this is unquestionably the best unless the lobby is roleplaying. Don't even get me started on what binding public discord diplo looks like ...
>>561716572the strongest ability of a good Dominions player is the power to DM someone on Discord

>>561739623yes, if you lose
>>561739623Well duh, it's like sex
>>561694829Had such an amazing expansion and managed to get another cap but flew too close to the sun. Made myself look too scary.Wound up being a classic case of people being more interested in fighting rather than thrones, because Shinu and Nazca didn't fort any of them, Mari despite being completely unharassed the entire game didn't even bother claiming and forting the thrones next to him.As soon as I saw Ys jump and steal the one under me immediately after the Sceleria war, I moved to kick him off but Aspho and Mari declared war because I was the threat (not caring Ys was snagging thrones like nothing)At the very least, I do prefer a quicker end with lower victory costs. I realized half way through this game did NOT have Cataclysm enabled and 'set yourself AI' was completely disabled so... Yeah, I am glad it ended at least before it could go to turn 100.
alright, sorry guys I been busyalso visual studio finally integrated claude AIso I have been remaking Gratuitous Space Battles from first principles for the past weekAlso moving today lolI will fix all that shit you mentioned in the next... 10? daysthen we can fire another test game if you want.I will take an extra long look at the skaven and the dwarves because that one anon was bitching (no promises I end up agreeing with his assessment)

Call me crazy, but I wish there were more was to develop provinces and build infrastructure. Hell, I even think it'd be nice if you could develop a proper religion for your pretender.
>>561769570We had roads and they were aids
>>561761161One problem with Dominions is that players have both different information and metrics for determining who is the threat; I for one have been declared the threat purely for having a strong scout network. Meanwhile in this game I was 40ish provinces when starting my first war, then after eating some of Caelum and vulturing Pyrene I fought the 3rd and 4th place players (Abysia + Sceleria) simultaneously. There was still some resistance to forming a coalition against me even then. In short, both identifying and prosecuting the threat can be a big ask; doing so successfully often marks it as a strong lobby imho ... or at least not a weak one.With fish or underground nations it can be hard for land nations to get an accurate accounting of their size with hitting their cap with acashic knowledge.
>>561715483I like thatSolium Infernum isn't adding so much conversation that the thread feels derailed, but I've noticed that we don't need to bump it so often to keep it from dying. So in the worst case we're just swapping empty "mention a random spell" messages for some comments about a different game that's still of the same rough family.There's lots of async games for two players but almost no async games for large groups of players.That said, Shadow Empires sucks

Game’s going great. I have successfully, in the meantime, gathered another 30 nations of varying degrees of fairness. I was thinking if anyone was up for a Disciples game with Nationgens, I could set it up. A few of them were Nations from the current Nationgen game that no one picked.
>>561785978I've literally never been in a disciples game, so I'd be down. How does Natgen work? I download it and make a tender for the nation, then join normally?
>>561786137For you it works like any other nation mod that hides the vanilla nations. I upload it to blitzserver, you enter the lobby, autodownload it and then check out the nations and make a God.

>>561795540>>561834564We got Awe 2 Regen Centaurs (who in Nationgen get Naga body meaning they usually have 30 combat speed regardless of armor) We got Dust-Walkers from Hidden in Sand, 3 to a square 25 hp and 16 strength. We have an entire nation of Foul Spawn with Gacha mechanics that make your PC lag when you open their PD screen. We have many fish nations, from flying fish to Swallow on Trample Carps. We have 2 Snake Nations, one Cold with Ice Weapons, one Warm with Heat Power. Multiple flavors of Horburg nations, from Mecha to Flowerpunk. A full Asmeg Nation, with flying, glamoured, golden armaments sacreds and Aesir mages. Tusked Ones Elephant men nations that have 2 attacks per square, unlike most other giants and are only vulnerable to starvation. A daeva nation, with better stats than a Caelian one. Flying Monkeys with compact wings that don’t affect their size.
>>561846753we're all dying, brother
>>561850693Asmeg?
>>561855996Descendants of the Aesir, the giants who ruled over the Vanir. Not glamoured, like their ancestors, but much stronger than the Vanir.
Atantanles, my bless does help your sacreds a lot, since its a rainbow buff bless, but your fish sacred has cold power and Im heat 1 (and his mechanical man form also has cold power) also your Disciple will come out later since im imprisoned. You do have hydras, but they aren’t sacred
>>561851809indeed, I'll be surprised if the human race survives this century
I've taken an interest in MA Xibalba. After playing MAchaka though I'm having trouble seeing how to expand. With MAchaka its fairly straight forward. Hardskin, 1 lord, 5 hunters on guard, ez (outside of the occasional headshot on your lord)Should I do a bless that makes Wo'Muuch more expansion capable? And I MUST take an awake with them right? Was sad to see they lose access to Rain of Jaguars in MA.
SCBM vs DE?
>>561867772superior vanilla vs crazy overhaul

>>561850693>>561795540Inefficient researchers for Atatanles Expensive and fragile mages for NomarkWhile Farsunth has sacred glamoured mages. I think I will set Magic research to Easy. Make the game more interesting.
Well, you got your victory. I didn't really expect seal guards to perform that well against terracottas, but I suppose I should have. You may actually win this whole war if I don't figure out a way to kill this shite.
AAAAAAAAA SOMEONE STOP MAMMON
I definitely need to work on my EQ trap setup, barely hit anything AND I lost my caster. I really should have had some kit for him.
>>561882164This is my first EA Agarthan game and I do feel quite overpowered.
>>561882164I wonder if you should have held off on that fight for another turn or two while fully concentrating your forces, even if that meant you'd have me get on your cap. That army lacked the archer density needed to break my Ulms, and in fact I probably didn't need those seal guards in a frontal sparse line on attack rear. Despite having more forces than me, I don't think you had enough to split and fight that army in two possible destinations.
>>561884640Yeah, I had the same thought. I really wanted to contain you up above the mountain and thought the PD would be enough to compensate for the lack of normal troops, but that obviously didn't pan out. I really just wanted to keep you contained up on the other side of the mountain, because now pinning you down might be very annoying.I've also consistently made the mistake of thinking that you have less money than you apparently do. There must be a really good mine down there somewhere.
Hmm, yes, I seeIn that case I will be going AI
>>561898783In that case I will be going AI as well. Good luck with turn three to the remaining human players.
Is quicken self worth it to cast for thugs with W1+, or will they fatigue out too fast?
>>561902105Depends on how quickly your specific thug fatigues and what your target profile is. 15-20 turns of being conscious are enough for PD raiding.
>>561859735We had a good run.
>>561902105It is good to cast it, but you should always have some way to be fatigue neutral or negative anyways

>>561864815>>561975865Basically, a bunch of this is what you're hoping to see when you open your turn
after some testing it felt like this was the answer (especially with Sloth3 tanking resources) but I'm still not sure wtf to do against Trogs or Cynos
Troggs need a larger bat group, the leader can be sniped but he has a lot of HPCynos are best handled by either your god, or your prophet assassin. If not, then a large group of sacreds. You will cry.The sacreds are OK. Not great, not terrible. Not worth focusing on, as once you hit Ench 5, your nation becomes skelespam:the nation
Cersith, welcome to the game. Fire power wights that live in primitive cities and have no helmets is sure to turn heads, but regrettably, I forgot to make a Ghoul representative for this nation gen, so you are the only Undead nation. There was an interesting one that specialised in reanimation, but I swapped it with a barbarian/Ulm nation. Maybe the Burgbred Abysians with their flying mech suits can join youOr Chauville, the roman monkey nation, since they can handle high heat scales and their sacred turn into Ghouls on death.
>>561983276Or maybe even the snakes that also have fire power on their units

It's like hungry hippos but Dominions edition
>>562002835Any fun spells?
>>562008693Some nations get those spellsinger communions. The Roman Monkey nation has Abysia’s unique spells, including sacred smoulderghosts. Rimvaettir nations get Jotunheim’s spell lineup including Illwinter, but there aren’t any for this round, yet another group I forgot to include, got too trigger-happy with the hoburgs. The fact that I included half-elf Halflings, but also just straight up Vanir was a choice. But I also included a nation that is straight up just better Hinnom so… And yeah, some nations I tried to balance, either by picking the iterations with poor armour coverage or shitty forts (don’t forget there’s a master mason mercenary you can pay to upgrade your forts) or poor magecorps options, or shitty sacred (like the daeva nation, where your weakest unit is your caelian sacred or the frost Snakeman nation where your sacred is the only one without magic weapons) but some were just so badass I couldn’t get rid of. Like the all white calfs Pangaean nation, where your centaurs have regeneration and awe or the civilised minotaur nation, where, just like with Andramania, your strongest unit has formation fighter (they also have masons).

I'm starting to see the flaws in Solium Infernum when it's starting to turn out that plotting is just rolling a fucking gacha, charisma is the best out of all powers, and you should always have fucking elocution up
Ashdod went AI after this.
>>562030180>plotting is just rolling a fucking gachaProphecy helps a lot at lvls 2 and 5, I always get at least one I can do soon without going too far out of the way.>charisma is the best out of all powersIt's really not. I'd argue it's deceit, but none are going to win you the game by themselves.>you should always have fucking elocution upIt's good during downtime, but the constant cost and ritual slot usage adds up. My table looked like this at one point last game, 5 prestige a turn was my lowest priority.
>>562030561Those are some AI-ass stacks already.
>>561947560Is it not in the OP anymore?
>>562052372Charisma has the most utility for sure, it's the astral of this game
>>562052372It's irritating imho how little the game tells you how object rituals work
>>562020898Fire Power is heat 4 awake pretender with plenty of candles, a killer bless and a tiny bit of order, sloth and misfortune
>>562066374How good is fp
>>562067598At Heat 4 its +4 to Strength/Attack/Defense/CombatSpeed But none of the nations have abysia’s pop resistance, so heatscales will melt your population with or without forts, which is where high growth comes in, except you also need high order because Primitive forts (for Dust Walkers at least) and no pretender option gives you both. Either Growth 3 or Order 3.
>>562068173Lame
>>562030180I think it's more of a newbie's disease. We don't really know what we're doing so the first wall seems the worst.Charisma won't save you from someone slapping your shit to death and the capstone is trash. It helps a lot with dueling, but if you thing someone is going high charisma you can go Deception and steal the praetor. Or go Destruction for that sweet "someone's stuck at 1 action per turn" spell.The plots are a bit of a mess, I agree there
>>562075815It's also that the remake is trash.
bEAst_slop admin, could I get a 6hr extension, had some hopefully minor family medical drama. Thanks!
>>562077283Perish.
>>562077283Extended
>>562076242How's it different from the OG gameplay wise?
>>562088272Gameplay is essentially the same, roughly speaking.The original allowed you to create your own archfiend with a point system, but in practice the options it allowed weren't that different than what you can do with the current, more limited creation system and it was a bit of a solved game with some clear optimal choices, so as cool as it was, I'm not really sad to see it go.Balance has changed a lot. The original was a lot about buying crap and training it up into something terrifying. Now it feels like a cheap legion or praetor isn't really going to catch up with an expensive one bought straight off the market. Not sure that's bad, though, since it also means that you can come back more easily if you lose something.Praetor duels are also completely different. They used to be a mess with multiple phases where the praetors would use all their abilities. Now it's essentially rock paper scissors with some mindgames.Also tribute works differently. Tribute quality used to depend on your infernal rank. Now the rank only determines the amount you get, and quality is determined by your highest power.Also built in servers instead of old school sending save files to the host player per email.All in all positive changes that make the game more playable and balanced. But part of the charm is the byzantine hostility of the game: how does turn order work? Dice rolls? Fuck knows. It's infernal bureaucracy, deal with it. Some of that has been lost.Honestly my biggest pet peeve is that they've moved the lore to the encyclopedia. You used to see the lore text of everything right there in the profile of each item/legion/praetor in the bazaar and I think it added a lot to the feeling of the game.Also there used to be some terraforming in there, although that's coming back next update.

how do i elephantmaxx as MA Arco? I cant seem to get nature buffing spells that keep them from routing while still maintaining mind hunt/soul slay research. their troops are also dogass compared to other MA nations
>>562132296Ethereal
>>562133373Ethereal reduces trample damage by half; the best choices are mistform or ironskin. A funny choice is also stygian rains as their trample will easily out damage the 15 invuln. Darkness is great as it only reduces the victim's def roll in the trample check but not the trampler's.For you its probably as part of an army you cast marble army in, or in a block with an iron warrors cast. Earlier you can probably get by with a round of group ironskin if they are part of a mageball, but I'd assume less than 2 hits per cast when budgeting. Sadly the casting delay from communions makes it mostly impractical to try for the extra round of buffs after movement on round 3. If going all in on a pile of buffed elephants against units without darkvision then solar eclipse can help.
>>561978727>your nation becomes skelespam:the nationI didn't see what you meant here until I remembered Sabbaths exist.

>>562139754It's not quite infinite, but it's pretty damn brutal. The setup is to have 4 Ways - 3 of them as slaves, standing on a single tile, the 4th is right next to them spamming healing touch. And camazots go ham.You do need to build 1-2 forts, or you can have a cheeky enemy take away your income by hitting your cap. But you don't need too many, the majority of your infrastructure is simply labs in caves spamming camazots. You'll never have enough money as Xib.Enemies rushing you down is a problem. I think MA Xib is one of the more powerful nations of the era, but unfortunately, it seems that most people think it's weak. Which is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy as you'll frequently get attacked by 2-3 people at the end of expansion just because they think that you're easy food. You're not going to lose - camazots get you the required research VERY quickly, and you'll destroy any normal nation once they have to get down into the caves - but you'll often have to play whack-a-mole for the whole game until somebody on the other side of the world wins.
>>562178149Standard sabbath with Camazots slaves also works, of course. I just prefer the Way turbo sabbath, it can go on for longer - though you do need to replace your slaves every now and then. You can scale it to 4 slaves and 2 healers, add lamia bodyguards for soul vortex, add rings of regeneration, etc. Way slaves are used over Camazots for this because they get 19HP in their jaguar form.
Falling Frost
The thread's gonna die because none of you grognards can pass the captcha, huh?
>>562192581Captcha?
>>562189940Why does falling frost only do 10 damage when falling fires does 15?
Last call for Disciples Allstars. Currently 3 teams each with 2 players. Tomorrow is game time
>>562198203Fire hurts more than ice
>>562198203heat > coldCold? We can only go down ~300 degrees kelvin until we hit absolute zero. Heat? A bog-standard industrial furnace easily reaches 2000 degrees.
>>562198203Body retains heat so it's easier to resist.
>no one picked the double aura cold snakesAw man. Was hopping someone would grab that one, they're cute
https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/770#statusJoin my team, I suggest a nation whose sacreds like smacking things.
>>562206871coldsissies...
>>562214381I hope you get a partner. If no one shows up i think I can add an AI player so you aren’t alone. Still 10+ hours for someone to show up
>>562214381>ugly hexagonal mapno, thanks
>>562221994I joined as disciple for team 4. what should i know about this nationgen mod
>>562224830Nationgen has a little program that generates random nations, with some filters and tweaks. The game admin created a bunch, hand picked his favorites, and packed them in his own version of the mod.So there's nothing special to know about it. You just look at the nations and pick whatever you like.Take a look at what other people have chosen and test your expansion in a singleplayer game.
Yo admin, make sure the nations are correctly set before starting the game. I'm the pretender of team 2 but looks like someone had set me as the disciple, probably accidentally.
>>562224830Well the map is big, it was one I picked from Blitzserver’s map pool, it is much bigger than the “/v/ plays disciples” map for example. Hopefully it has a connected underground because I did not put in west-east wrap around. We have easy research because it is more chaotic that way and, again, because we may well need it to even be able to fight. Yearly Arena is in, that means sending your god to clear an arena is a poor choice, because sooner or later a People’s Arena will fire and your god will get caged. For the nations present: Team Hellenus: has Lamia amazons, all have 25%+ regeneration, all have dying shape into Black Serpents.Fukuichi is their Disciple, has Fort Cities. Its a slave nation, rocking cynoceps, most poorly armored but cheap and well trained. The nation is ruled by Konoha Tengu.Team Nomark: Badass Gundam hoburgs. From light striders to 3 meters tall clockwork walkers with magic weapons. Despite being a golem cult, none of their fort recruits count as constructs. Faesunth is the disciple. A nation of foul spawns. From size 3s to size 7. Their entire troop lineup is randomised from a pre-selected pool. 90% of their commanders are sacred or priests and they have 14 options to chose from. All have exotic bodies for thugging. Many are old. Some of his mages are also randomised. Team Kroon: Carpmen. They swallow on trample. Their sacreds are not cap-only and they are bigger than a human. Djanfrut is, wisely, their Disciple. A nation of Lava Hoburgs. With atlantian support. Their mechs fly and can go underwater. Team Chauville:This is your boss. Lava-primates. Their death knights are no sacred, but are stronger the more candles they have in the province. Their actual sacred turns into a ghoul and has death power. They have abysia’s spellbook and can Infernal Breeding, Inner Furnace, Summon Ancestor, temple train smoulderghosts and they are an Astral/Death nation. Their Disciple is Frasne. This is you.
>>562227669Yeah I noticed. I was gonna ask you to. I *can* do it from the server. But you could just go to Network, click on the game and change Nomark from Disiciple to pretender, then put your pretender in
Ok, now that (probably) everyone is here. Please, look at the settings for the game. Anything you don’t like? Anything you want changed? For example, the map itself, although I picked one on the bigger side for a good reason, the risk of poor cave generation is real. If anyone knows a better map that is still big enough to accommodate an 8 man disciple game, do say so
>>562230672Don't have mixed throne levels because it's just going to fuck over whoever gets the level 1 spawn with zero gem income vs the player who gets the 30% spell discount 8 gem throne.
>>562230672Level 5 thrones only. Let them sweat.
>>562231229You got it mista’8 Level 3 thrones, 12 points to win, comin’ up!
>>562233969gl
After I'm done beating up Ind, I'll get to Arco and then Ulm, probably in that order. Nevermind the sailing nation who keeps putting up globals and has already eaten Pythium. Hopefully wrath of god kills your pretenders.All but 2 of those events are hurricanes from gale gate btw.
>>561695318I wanted to mess with it just to see if I could do anythinguseful. I also did it to a crusher and gave him gauntlets of the gladiator as it was fitting. I also have the item that regens constructs so they do heal up. A bit if a meme? Yeah. But kinda funny, he even has most of the slots baring armor. For the dragon I might just slap more dragons under him and use him as a mobile rape squad which seems like it would be fairly effective if not an inefficient use of gems. Can't forget style points when playing dominions.
>>562254534I commend your flare then
>>562261595Flair is for skill and flashiness. Flare is for the sun and horses.
>>562261952lel
>>562261952that's fair
What happened to Hellenus? They never asked for an extension, didn’t AI either… and it is not their capital that is getting sieged. Did their Lord of the Summer Plague die? He only has 2 more stales before he is booted.
Umm...based?
Game started. You may begin complaining about the mapI wonder how many Capitals are gonna be bled dry of pops
>>562284757Mogging what?
>>562291781Ur nation
>>562297797I don't play Ur.
>>562284757The Bonesmasher tribe lives there.
We need a new game, I beg of theeAlso fuck the captcha
>>562301034which era
>>562303697MA or La
>>562291781Beta tendie gets brutally thronemogged by local ascensionmaxxer causing massive horrorsol spike.
>>562301034Nah, I'm starting a new game so that you fags can suffer a minor setback and go AI, stale for a week to mourn the prophet you told to go kill himself, or ask for rollbacks. Fuck all y'all.
>>562308215Well that's nice of you dear!
>>562308438I will not be posting it.
>>562308215I will make sure to go AI first in your honor anon
alright, ma vanilla with better casting, persistent gems, and trusty research
>>562311536sounds good to me
w8ing warmly
>>562330436perish in ice
I wish we could "wish" for a new body. Being able to turn your feeble arch mage human pretender into something better without the RNG of transformation would be pretty nice.
>>562332217
>>562332430Doesn't DE have a spell for that?
>>562332430to be fair who wouldn't want to be a dragon?
>>562332964I mean, I'd prefer not being hunted for sport by half the planet.
>>562333651Just kill half the planet, easy peasy.
>>562333651You will also be protected and venerated by all the scalies.
>>562334847I wish the old CoE Dominions mod got update now for the new classes...
>>562332964The dragons themselves, all the ones that can, change shape into humans. The only exception is some eastern ones who still like having a long neck, tail and big head
Honestly, I'd play a DE game, haven't seen any non warhammer,sloop, or natgen mods in a while
>>561555042Hi there. The YS player in question from this game. Since MAchaka posted the game results here ill answer and question or two.>>561679016For this one specifically my map area had NO good places to actually build forts before i murdered Oceania, the entire UW section of my part of the pond was my cap circle. I had to fight the UW THUNDERDOME on Indies and cap only stuff. But luckily for me the province to my direct south had Merrows for me to recruit. I was spamming out merrow druids from that province for literally the whole game starting on turn 5. Expensive? Yes. Useful? ALSO YES. Once i had killed Oceania i kinda forgot to turn off the recruitment for a while and just had a shitload of these guys hanging about in my pond. So i put them to use, and they killed that fucking Gorgon which had been destroying armies for the entire game before that fight. >>561761161Sorry to sound all gloaty but ive been trying to win a single MP game of Dominions for over 7 years now. This was my very first one. Had i not Throne rushed right then and there, you would have definitely won the game. So i had to go for it as hard as was possible. Me cheating like a bastard on my research by paying TC like 170 gems helped me SIGNIFICANTLY to get to the point where i could pull that shit off. I get the feeling that neat time i encounter the Shinu player from this game, he is still gonna be assmad i ruined his fun. Oh well.
Wrath of god killed my fucking 20 hp grey one that was forging with a dwarven hammer, boosters, and armor. I hate that fucking spell.
>can't get my computer to turn onRuh roh
>>562354075>post this>try for the 14th time>turns onThanks guys
>>562352642I love wrath of God and cast it literally every chance I get, easily my favorite global. Gets rid of pesky scouts, hurts or kills low tier units and commanders in your territory, what's not to love?
>>560797609>>560801752go on
>>562372013Hmm... nyo.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!
