The Wheel has turned once again

Mythic Age edition

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them. It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

Solium Infernum. It's pretty good, more polished but also more limited in scope than Dom.

I'd be up for more games. I was just waiting for that patch that was supposed to drop in March with the new resource, terraforming added back in, etc.

>whats a SI?
Another asynchronous games. Think Game of Thrones politics and backstabbing but everyone's an archdemon in hell trying to become the next big guy in Hell after Satan suddenly vanished.
Minimal micro even in the late game (you're capped to like 6 actions per turn tops), and a big focus on rapidly switching allegiances and punching down. Is someone weaker? Demand their shit. They refuse? Go beat them up.
Player elimination exists but it takes a long time to set it up. We're demons, not barbarians. If someone grovels enough and pays up, you can't just go and kill them. Unless they do it too much, in which case they're obviously not worth the air anymore. Lots of bittersweet decisions and trade offs. Pretty fun and a nice refreshing contrast to Dominions' constantly increasing micro.
By the way, the game is at half price this week on Steam

Luck scales, trading, distilling, I think there are units that provide gold too. Been a while since I played I'm sure there's more. Luck scales are a huge source of gold though if you get luck 3 you will get some big gold and gem infusions

The poke overhaul that moved from 5-6 is pretty good time. Needing to focus on unit experience for evolution's is fun.

Has anyone tried MP with it?

Riches from beneath is a good one, spells that provide growth like blood fecundity is indirectly increasing your cash. Definitely more spells like that

Ind took an awake lich queen with Fear and Stygian Skin. Pyrene took fateweaving, fire shield, and stygian skin, awake. The game had like 4 blind expansions turn 1, none failed.

Yeah the evolution scaling in terms of power ramps up very quickly. And the ability to search for evolved pokemon so early doesn't help.

Its taken 5 provinces on turn 2.

which server?

>>564447512
I dont understand the meme of hyper expander blesses, if your enemies arent retarded they see you take provinces with like 3 dudes and just attack you
>>
>>564458450
you're hoping they don't notice and you make it to lategame with sacreds that aren't useless and more provinces than them

There is a lot of good that comes from starting off well (having a lot of provinces). You income in gold and gems scales approximately with your province count in most circumstances.

As for making yourself a target, because of the roughly rock-paper-scissors aspect of the matchup for a lot of nations, many players just know that given matchups are or are not favored in the early to midgame.

As a result, as long as you are not so big that you are coalitioned, there is almost no downside to having more provinces as more income makes it easier and faster to scale or prepare/respond to being attacked. There are exceptions of course but as a general statement it holds up.
