The Wheel has turned once againBlood Magic 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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>>564370314

>>565311468For Piconye, since it was made with Marignon and Ind in mind, it's exploding corpses and Inquisitor support and Unaging. I could drop Unaging for more fire resistance though, but the Inquisitor support stays, since that's way too fucking funny

We got got any demand for an EA SCBM game?
do hot/cold scales even matter for spells like heat from hell/grip of winter anymore?i did a test (that also taught me scale-modifying spells like wolven winter don't take effect until after battles) with grip and despite being in H2, it still managed to get a crusher 100% fatigued out before it reached my mage all the way in the back (also didn't realize it worked against inanimates, neat)I figured it'd be causing there to be more clouds forming on the field, but it didn't seem to matter, it still covered most of the ground it looked like.
>>565340921E M or LA, I'd join
>>565342973IIRC, Hot and cold scales do not directly contribute to things like Heat from Hell or Grip of Winter but scales do impact how long a heat/cold cloud takes to dissipate. So there maybe some indirect interaction in that regards. Additionally, scales should impact the chances to freeze or catch something on fire.

>atlantis didnt bite on the bait to catch half his army out and now I have to fight his full force togetherI am ... not long... for this ocean
Hellenusbro, I'm up for another nationgen. Next to this one, I think it'll still take some time to finish.But with new factions (at least without the ones that were already picked)
>>565342973>>565352729I dont think so but it might seem that they do because you also have troop fatigue encumbrance thing based on extreme temperatures which is basically its own heat from hell spell innate
>>565340921Sure, I'd join, I'm up for anything
>>565363967yeah. I really wanna make Hellenus work, Strong Vigorous Regenerating Amazon Nation is *such* an aesthetic, but there's so many more just in Allstars itself: Plantpunk Hoburgs, Vineslave Nations, Sleeper Nations, Asmegs, Ghouls, Elephant people, Flying Primates, magical mount spam, the elemental snakemen nations. It'd suck to see some of them go, but I was already being cheeky bringing Hellenus back for a second round, I should do something different. Next time, I am covering every fantasy! We've had mass regen armies, mecha hoburgs, insta-kill tramplers and mass Foulspawn, it's time for everything else to shine!https://hinaserver.net/game/38also, don't forget to join the new OA Disciple game coming up! I understand there might be some Disciple fatigue, but I want to see some themed teams, that was why I went with OA. Surely, it can't be that much of a stinker!
>>565340921Only if I can ubar
>>565374787Do so
So SI?

Blood Rite
Anybody ever won a game with ea pyrene?I just don't see how its possible without literally everything just going your way.
This was changed from 5 to 6 I guess? I mean besides the magic path change. was fear in general reworked in 6?Is this spell still good?
>>565397930Fuck yeah, I'm in. Was wondering where the fuck the update was>>565427367It's a typical early 90s teenage movie simulator>shopping at the mall>bullying the nerds>fighting a guy because he called your car a junkheap>gossiping>someone gets bitchslapped by the angelic cops>mad dash with crowbars and pipes to become the prom queen by force when it becomes obvious that you aren't going to beat that one bitch on prestige pointsIt's fun
>>565465886It has a little bit more counterplay now, but yes its still really fucking good.
>>565465886The only nerf it got was to cap the morale loss so you cant just instantly rout everything if you get lucky. Will take a few more turns
>>565471256Sermon of courage mitigates it more than in dom 5 too though.A lot of nations dont have massable holy 2s though
>>565397930What's the map size?
I almost forgot about this, but the next /vg/ League is starting this month. Is there any interest here in seeing the /domg/ play some more divegrass?
>>565473852You know you are going to do it anyway man.Tent owner needs more goals
>>565473852OF COURSE. The people clamour for giant man eating jews
>>565475256They already became immortal as reffies.
>>565473852Yes! Yes ! Yes!
>>565397930Two slots left!!
>>565474659>>565475256>>565478403Looks like we'll be signing up for the next VGL then. Is there any interest in putting a new(or old) player on the team?
>>565481308I would like a cave cow player. But I'm probably the only one who wants it.As long as the well loved classics stay on the team im happy. 2k ghosts in a fort is my role model

Reading Lord of Light makes me wish that Bandar wasn't trash
>>565487215i recommend nine princes in amber if you like losing a lot
>>565480557Big changes of this beta patch worth keeping in mind:>Trail By Fire (previously known as Expel The Heretic)Expel the Heretic was a neat event where everyone got to vote on excommunicating a player. I don't how if there's any differences in implementation, but in the original game it meant that it was very risky to jump very hard ahead of everyone else by abusing a strong position of power (like those 400+ prestige winners we had in the last games) because you'll probably just get voted out of the race. Alliances, or preparing to jump ahead but not being too obvious about your winning position, is much more important.I know you can get back in the club by capturing Pandemonium and choosing to release it, but I don't know if that works if no one had already captured it in the first place.>slag tokensProbably game changing. You probably noticed that the later in a turn you place a gather tribute order, the less the quality of the tribute you get. Now tribute orders with quality below 0 have a chance to give you trash tokens that will "fill up your treasury", so mass gathering turns are less productive.>legions now auto support Pandemonium against excommunicated opponentsMuch needed improvement in my opinion, it was too easy to capture it>new Ritual: Hell sculptTerraforming.
>>565489089Interesting. I'm also happy that Pandemonium is a bit stronger now too.
>>565489089What are hosts
>>565493046Angels
>>565489089>bazaar edictpls no
Stellar Strike has to be the worst level 9 spell in the game...
>>565497828use case for 15 ichtyid shamans?
>>565498161Moral support
>>565481928I also think 2k ghosts in a fort is a funny goaltendie, although it might be funnier if he could defend well..
>>565489089This is all good stuff. I'm not sure how effective the slag tokens will be as I've never hit collect tribute on less than 1 quality, but I bet doing so was probably optimal back then.>Striders do not provide XP to level 4+ legionsVery good change. Farming your own summoned striders already gives good prestige (and in Beelz's case a 2/2/2/2 token) once a turn, powerleveling up legions too was super broken. I say this as the Beelz farm abuser in question.>Erzsebet now benefits from the support of Lured opponentsWow, I don't think she's bottom tier any more.I do wish they buffed more of the less good relics (mostly the crowns) but it is only a beta release.
Still cant decide if I want to play that infernal hell game or not.
>>565497828Lol
>>565506470If you like Dom more for the other stuff besides combat, it is pretty satisfying The combat is other wise sorta eh
>>565506470There's a demo

>B2 mage casts reinvigoration>uses 2 slaves despite the fact the spell will wipe out all fatigue anyway, rendering the 2nd one spent utterly a wasteYou'd think Illwinter would add an exception for this spell to 'never use an extra gem', actively makes my B2's strictly worse for skelspam since I need to give them 2 slaves each instead of just 1 (otherwise they steal someone else's, and then THAT mage can't reinvigorate)

And so it ends, with everyone else going home to mommy. For a bit I thought that ai Therodos might actually win, but as it turns out, all you need to fight the endless hordes of ghost people, is a guy with a big club and Construction 9.

What is the bless effect frost mist weapons exactly doing? I mean besides the mist? what does the mist do? damage? or fatigue damage. Slowing enemies?what is the effect of it?
>>565557687It's like fire brand but leaves an ice cloud behind instead of straight aoe damage
>>565557687It's like the units with chill around them
>>565557687leaves a chill aura cloud behind. in dom6 clouds don't stack on the same square so if you have a lot of attacks you can spread the frost mist like crazy
>>565560514So is it any good?
>>565560542it has the same problem as withering weapons and poison weapons, it has no upfront killing power. it is pretty fun spreading the aura and playing around the fatigue but you could also just make your sacreds more killy
>>565560542It would be best on a tanky unit that lives long enough for the clouds to do work, but tanky units also tend to have bad attack density, and the few how do have good attack density would probably rather just kill shit faster and leverage their bulkyness that way. Also the clouds can fuck your own guys so you need some cold resistance on top of that. There's also the meme strat of using it on sacred archers, but those are pretty damn rare to have access too, and its still not that scary of a strat.
