Mapnuke EditionThe Wheel has turned once againDominions 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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>>566214845

I wish the tax mechanic came back
Should I or should I not take the promotion to prince
>>567295129Bring back buildable ROADS
Do the Skaven get a cave start in Warhammer? I was surprised to see the dwarves didn't.
>>567296624Eh, everyone built them regardless
So with infernal monsoons how's it going down? Will Mammon survive???
>>567310463If I still could cast spells then maybe, but as it is, no.
>>567310463The monsoons will last a few turns, but the excommunication will be 3 at least. Belphegor seems to be out for blood and he's 2 turns away.I'd throw a couple rituals in there because I've grown fond of our glue eating Mammon, but with that also being out of question, I don't see any way he can survive. Other than by some extreme coincidence, like the leviathan being summoned and it just happening to chose the perfect path over Belphegor's legions. Maybe one of the two or three events that nukes a random legion getting lucky and hitting one of Belphegor's. Although at this point anything like that has a significant chance of hitting Astaroth instead. Dude's playing pokemon
>>567305656Yes, and I miss having decent mapmove
I kinda miss quickness not being so expensive it's almost a meme bless
What's a good starting point for scales and pretender type bless for Piconye?Everytime I look at this nation I don't even know where to start. They probably want some resistances because evocations would probably just delete them I guess?
>>567316783You kinda really want an awake because your troops are fucking awful, so you'll want them both for expansion and for not getting immediately eaten by your neighbors before your (very good) mages come online because none of your midgets can actually hurt anyone wearing decent armor. The cheap crossbows are the main saving grace of the troop lineup.As for not dying to evocations, you're best off just summoning some bait- the upside of nobody having HP is that mages won't hesitate to target pretty much anything else if they can.
>>567317359As for blesses, if you can actually afford them resists aren't a bad idea because keeping your mages alive is important, but as tempting as larping as Ind is the sacred troops don't really cut it. They are probably one of the better users of an archery-focused bless if you really wanna try though, though, since weapon blesses and the AP from crossbows get around the low strength problem and your mages don't mind a bit of extra precision.
>>567318591Thanks. How bout the recruitment scales? I assume you want some order to make a lot of bird knights to help out with their terrible map move? Maybe a bit lighter on the prod
>>567319783Bird knights really can't be relied on for much more than cheeky commander snipes on people who forget to leave a rear guard. They only really do damage on the initial charge, and after that their light lances bounce off anything wearing more than robes, and even strength buffs will only get them to about the damage of a regular spearman. Keep a few to mess up formations and threaten commander snipes, but they're not reliable as raiders on their own.
>>567321119Buffs are the main things that make the troops work- sharpness in particular actually makes the dense squares of toothpick-wielders actually somewhat threatening, especially if you throw strength on them too. The bird knights appreciate it as well but casting it on them before they take off is tricky.
>>567323404I miss markata and pygmy flaming rain
>>567323404Are the weapons buffs worth it?
>>567326848The blesses? Mostly no, but they have their use cases. Magic Weapons isn't really the same as the others, and is a solid bless- mistform and ethereal are issues you'll run into almost every game. Thunder weapons is by far the best of the actual weapon blesses in combat, but does fall off versus any shock resistance. Withering is cheap and shines on archers and cheap sacreds- it's bad at killing, but it'll make thugs and expensive stuff sad. Vampiric is extremely expensive but can be strong- the best use case I've seen is Man's wardens, they build up a bunch of extra HP with their crossbows before getting into melee. Poison weapons is actually pretty good on crossbows but is tough to fit into builds, and doesn't do anything if the weapon itself doesn't wound.As for the spells, Weapons of Sharpness is really good. AP is a huge increase in effective damage. The one that stuns is solid against non-giants but doesn't contribute quite as much to raw murderousness as sharpness, but it's still worth casting.
>>567330238To put it into perspective, even versus shitty militia making your weapon AP is usually equivalent to having 4-5 bonus strength, more if you're hitting the shield. Versus an 18 prot gigachad in plate, you're getting the equivalent of 9 strength. Even a thug geared up to 30 prot is still going to be getting chip damage from any decent melee weapon if it's AP.
>>567330238Tweps is gud
>>567330238I feel like Frost Mist Weapons has potential but suffers from making you take Cold in a game where most nations absolutely don't want to cripple their map move by taking Cold.
is there some weight limit on cloud trapeezing?i'm trying to trapeze my immobile statue pretender but it just keeps saying he's 'unable to cast this spell right now'
>>567334476Yes the blood rituals have a size/weight limit too. And some immobiles refuse to move even with teleport
>>567334092Yeah, it's absolutely the most viable of them. Even if you run into someone with a lightning res bless, it still works wonders for chewing through regular troops.Fire weapons would be decent if it did a bit more damage, but 7 AP really doesn't cut it most of the time. Vitriol is just too expensive.
>>567334476I think you specifically need limbs to be able to cloud trapeze. Only way to move an immobile is with teleport. Note that a few immobile pretenders cant even be moved by teleport like the Monument and the geyser
>>567334839>>567334567well that's great news, just tested stygian paths as well and he refuses to cast itwas worried my opponent might trapeze or stygian paths their pretender into a fort defense battle and proceed to sit there after casting wrathful skies, but looks like i've got nothing to worry about unless he secretly put s2 on it which according to the pretender designer should be impossible.

average dom6 expansion
Does the arcane finesse bless provide bonus mr penetration to sacred units weapon attacks? For example withering weapons?
>>567316783They do have much better Baculites than Ind, they go from meme unit to anti sacred thug specialist. Better armor, more attacks, not limited to 3 a turn. And having recruit anywhere mages is always nice. They also have Holy 3 Inquisitors (and with Sloop they aren’t Slow to Recruit) making them very good against Lemuria or C’Tis
>>567382326It works for the sacred rlyeh units with mind blast but those have a specific line that says work with penetration bonus. I dont think it works for those however. Death weapons MAYBE because I'm pretty sure like mind blast death weapons do use your death skill like astral and therefore can benefit from penetration bonuses.Not sure how it interacts with damage reversal either.
>>567381848Lel
>>567353679
>>567384971I might actually consider playing ind then
>>567293078Promised to whom?
Someone stop Belphegor
>the update is m*chakan wildebeestno wonder everyone abandoned the game to play in hell
>>567401072why are they buffing MAchaka? MAchaka was overpowered already
>>567401264its a nothing update that doesnt significantly change anything, illfraud just decided they liked wildebeests
>>567401264It's a flavour buff for MA at most. I mean its technically a buff in that they have 1 extra thing they can do, but that extra thing is summoning low prot undisciplined animals. When was the last time you used something like ambush of tigers or whatever?I haven't played EA machaka but the recruitable mounts seems pretty meh too. Decent high map move raiders I guess
>>567401812it doesn't even have tramplewtf, has shillwinter never seen the numerous videos of them yeeting big cats?
>>567402194For MA it's competing for nature gems vs the summon sacred black hunters spell too.
/domg/ has lost its privileged position of receiving leaks of patches ahead of timeits over
update.... errrrr.... can I, can I have an extension on all MP games pleeeease, untill , errrr... untill later, when skido, erm till later maybe?
>>567401072Wut?
Hello Angoburg, we cool? I'd like 83 if you don't mind.
Rest In Pieces fatmanAlso get rekt Astaroth
>>567408567Yeah I wasn't sure how that chasm got there
>>567402194sloop will fix it
New turn!
>>567414630>turn timer quietly has 12h added to itdamn communists, everytime i have a chill turn i swear the turns roll instantly, but everytime i have a slightly anxious turn where shit can go wrong the timer always gets maxed out or extended.
>>567407869sorry didn't see in time, yes that is fine. you can take 60 too, i'm not going any further east
>At least 20-50 reasonable and incredibly easy modding commands to add from the Modding Wishlist>Revises ONE solely because Sombefag needed it>still gets praised in the commentsI get why >>567209751 is making a new game. These guys won't even give the community the option to fix their game for them. I hate this so much, I've been looking forward to an update for a while and we get this. Wouldn't even be that bad if there was any pushback in the comments but it's all praise.
Had to rush home from work to make sure they made it in
astaroth went ai? was that intentional?
>>567416876All good man, cheers
>GNU units for Machaka
>>567419958I was waiting for someone to make that connection
>>567419958It's a reference to the Linux buff
>>567334589How is Tweps viable? It does capped shock damage of 1 and FAT damage capped at 3?
>>567423016lightning damage can stun which is amazing because it means your next attack is guaranteed to hit
>>567423016The fatigue damage isn't capped, but the potential to chip through even the heaviest armor and the stun effect are the selling points.
>>567425631Huh, now I got something to consider for bow of war seraphines
https://hinaserver.net/game/42we have 8 players, i'll start the game in 48 hours so join in if you're still interested
>>567429807 wait a patch just dropped, will I need to have it to join/play?
how long will it take for russian hackers to provide the global south with the new patch? or could this be not happening at all, since its such a niche thing?
>>567296105It sets you back significantly in prestige, but you do get better income, higher priority, and the chance to grab lots of prestige by humiliating others, which is like turbo insulting>>567418678Astaroth isn't AI
>>567431159>Astaroth DID quitOh fuck, that chasm really did hurt uh
Damn, these Nationgen turns are flying by quik
W8 wut? How come I can't see my game anymore? I didn't quit wtf
Can someone repost the game number?
any non-warhammer games recruiting?
>>567433104can you even see it once the game starts? i'm not able to find it
>>567435000Shit welll good game I guessI was planning on buying the sons of Typhon but I guess whatever happened causes me to drop the game
>>567435243>>567433104It says you played your turn, weird. You did lose like two of your armies but I think youre still vastly in the lead. I'll submit a bug report for you
>>567440174>>567435243According to the archive the game number is 808342
>>567441834Thanks skelemans
>>567443464Yeah it says I can't find it ;_;7Good game everyone at least
>>567423116The chance to stun is 5% + (shock damage/max health)/2 ?So for a 10 health human, capped 1 shock damage has a total of 10% chance for the shock damage to stun. This is assuming that the shock damage wins the dueling DRNs, which it will like 46% of the time? So against an unbuffed target, it is slightly more likely to do nothing than to do anything. If it does do something it only deals chip damage and, optimistically, it has between 5% and 10% chance to stun for one round?For weapon bless for units vs other units, it is overpriced. Against eary unbuffed thugs and earlu supercombatents it could be useful against the unprepared.I fail to see how it is worth the points.
>>567444839Stun chance goes off uncapped 1AN + DRN damage roll, then the damage gets reduced afterwards.
>>567444529How do you usually quit the game after playing your turn? You might have accidentally clicked on "Abandon game" on autopilot.I've done it before too, so now I always exit by alt + F4 after sending in the turn.Big shame, that was a very tense situation. Hope to see you on the next game
>>567446642I dont think he did that because it would have immediately had the flag that he left the game and ask us. He staled twice which triggered the auto-afk detection thing
So last thread I said I was going to do a roster poll after all and then just forgot to actually do it. So here's the roster poll, only a few days before the deadline where I have to submit our team. I am a very smart and competent manager, after all.https://s.surveyplanet.com/umkv3bnpAlso, do you have any opinions on whether you'd rather see the team on full autopilot or would you rather see me try and build something based off of the Luigi Circuit team from February and run it off of pastebin instructions?
>>567448134Autopilot is fine, letting AI play for us is tradition after all
>>567448134Why is Bob missing from the poll
>>567449467OH FUCK I FORGOT TO SCROLL BACK UP ON MY LIST AND DIDN'T INCLUDE FORESTER BOB OR THE THREAT!I'll try to fix that right quick.
>>567447414>>567446642Well enjoy the game everyone, I am going off to GuamHere's a funny drawing for the people who interacted with me the most during the game
>>567450417Thank you boksi
>>567448134Boated
>>567448134Ya'll better vote for an SI rep (already has models)
are these new units for machaka going to change anything?
>>567457450unlikely
gnight /domg/
Should I start another SI game?
>sneak-attacked opponent actually turned his army around to defend against my 'potential invasion' (no diplo was done or said) instead of advancing and sieging his current enemy's cap which he was right next to.man I'm bad at predicting how people will react
>>567465748totally saturate the attack vectors then!
>>567465508what mod?
>>567465591I'm up for two at once, but it could wait until the current one's finishing up +>>567451038Astaroth being back for another
>>567471354it’s normal to forget
>>567465591Probably not yet no it's just getting pretty time intensive right now worst time
Can you still GoR shade beasts for their reanimation ability
>>567478210Pretty sure you can GoR anything not mindless
I still really like expander gods for the huge edge they give you early game. Getting a good economy going before turn 20 is just such a difference maker. I'm a big fan of the Man-Eater, with Hard Skin and Blood Surge. He travels far, can handle most indies just fine, even in late age, and lets me break into blood really quickly since he's such a good hunter.
>>567479395For me it's dracolich. Flying beast with insane stats and aoe damage lets you not only expand efficiently but defend multiple flanks
>>567330753what the hell are you doing?
why do I have to siege down a fort of someone who is domkilled
>>567490939They locked the door

>>567499469What about Ulm and Abysia? I don't see them losing provinces
>>567498553And here's chad Pyrene on his tiny island. He's the main reason I won.
>>567499720That's just cataclysm and me trying to take AI Ulm's thrones.
>>567499379GG, very strange gameI've never faced the cataclysm before so didn't know what I was doing when all my mages suddenly started getting eaten. I should have started gunning for Ulm's thrones earlier, maybe could have grabbed them to steal the win.Also, Pyrene, if you're still in the thread, did you Horror Seed me? Horrors started popping up in my cap before the cataclysm started, and I'm not quite sure where from.
>>567499768Why is he the reason you won? Was he funneling you resources once he decided he couldn't get off his island?
>>567499768>Join for underwater knife fight with Ys>Design pretender to kill movarchs>Spawn in separate pondsThe shit mapgen is becoming an epidemic
>>567500034He was disruptive for everyone else and even took a throne off you. Him keeping the Astral Corruption up probably contributed to Ulm going AI and becoming less of a threat to me.
>>567500375Yeah, the Astral Corruption was very annoying, but also very funny. Wonder how many blood slaves he was getting to put that up over and over.On a side note how do you deal with Storm + Wrathful Skies? I tried to put lightning resistance warriors but the +5 resistance didn't seem to do much. If not for that demolishing my armies over and over in our initial war I would have probably taken the fight to Pyrene's island. As it was, I didn't want to face that meatgrinder so once he was bottled up on his island I went elsewhere.
>>567501026Lightning resist + mass regeneration/luck.If you can't do that you need to try and end the battle fast
>>567501026You dont. You can try some damage reversal shenanigans but generally if you dont have blood vengeance or shock resist on your mages/troops innately or with items accept everything is going to die. You either stop it from being cast with something that interrupts it via earth quake or youre fucked
