Praetor Duel 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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>>567293078

How did I miss another turn? That was such a key turn man jesus christ. Had 4 people extorted then didnt get to respond
Bolium Binfernum
>>568760075Did you get more prestige at least
>>568760075I believe in u skeleman
>>568758523God I'm rusty, just getting back into MP dominions. How do I join Hinaserver?
>>568768578>>568766932I think most people rejected the demand so i basically clicked the "back off" function. Not the biggest of deals but there's only 4-5 turns remaining so this is my last chance to gain prestige. There are two AIs though so it's kinda annoying
>>568771106Best of luck!!
Never before was so much death brought upon so many midgets by so few monkeys.
>>568776696Damn, are things happening in Nationgen? I'm shocked to see the swan manlets made it this long with how terrible they looked, do they have some absurdly spicy bless?
>>568779293No, but they all have 20+ base defence and glamour
>>568776696
Revelator
>>568776696That was 40+ PD. Swans really do almost no damage to armored non-indies.

It's day 2 of the VGL qualifiers. We're in the last timeslot, just like yesterday, so it'll be a while before we play. Hopefully we'll do better today than yesterday, but more importantly, hopefully it'll be a fun match.https://cytube.implying.fun/c/vgleague
>four turns off from being able to actually claim the required number of thrones>in a historical first, this entire new player lobby fully peace's out with each other (who up to this point had been in hell wars with one another) and insta-breaks all NAPs you had with them, and moves their entire armies immediately onto your borders with forces strong enough to 1shot fort hpIt's not fair man how did I end up in the one lobby where people coordinate
>>568824030Good luck!
How in the god damn fuck do you play ma mictlan?
>>568825803your fault for being a diplomancer
>>568826634Now that I think of it, I think I haven't seen Mictlan in a game in months. Can't say longer because I was taking a break since Dom6 dropped.It used to be one of the first picks on every game. Are they unplayable trash without the quad hellbless? Or did we collectively just not give a fuck about checking what else they have to offer?
>>568835106They've been kinda fucked due to the fact it's hard to scale in this troop focused era
>>568824030Did we get new players
>>568826634>>568835106Jaguar Warriors are still pretty great, and Ozzies will still win you games.
>>568839014Ma mictlan has almost no native blood access.You are not getting a significant amount of ozzies unless your tendy is doing nothing but blood hunting from turn 1
>>568825803Honestly this is why you really need to plan around at least one defensive global like the spawning devils one, vengeful water, etc. You need a way to harass shitters so they cant doomstack you immediately
>>568839014>>568840559They need to implement the DE “Rules of the Lawgiver” ritual line, which makes Death and Blood magic harder and harder to do but buffs your dominion and sacreds, only lower the research requirements and maybe even the path and gem requirements. Making Eagle Warriors recruit anywhere is nice and Jaguar warriors becoming cap-only makes sense, since they embody the Smoking Mirror, but it is too big a loss, on top of losing Blood Magic
WH Tridux Vamps, get your turn in and we get another today, its just you left
>>568841781I get why they lose blood, I don't get why it's not replaced with anything. 4 path mages in ea just become 2 path mages in ma, but still capital locked too. The out of cap turkey mages are really fun at least and the couatl is cool too, but all the air mages are trash. Not even enough air to cast storm to storm power the air 1 ones. Casting storm would also just fuck with your eagle warriors too, and dumping bless points into stormflight for that seems like a huge tax to even bother with.I just don't get what the gameplan is here. You have ok paths for troop buffing, but your mundane troops are chaff tier
>>568844113their dominion also spreads like normal. the other mictlans can take complete hellscales and keep their dominion in check by not blood saccing, but ma mictlan takes dom10 to pump out 10 eagles per turn in every fort and has terribad scales spread everywhere
>>568844113I feel like Illwinter has a very poor understanding of what paths are useful at what levels. N1, D1, and A1 are all terrible paths without the presence of a communion or Storm Power for air.
>>568844551ma mictlan does have n/a crosspath which lets them summon amphipteres which are amazing but without sloops there is no mass amphiptere summon. ma mictlan sucks so bad in vanilla
Forester Bob kickin goals for domg!
Tent Owner :)
>>568847160At least my GOAT scored even if we are getting pasted by gacha...
Who's the Solium Infernum rep
Won every stat but goals scored! Games rigged.Least tent owner and Bob got on the board.
What are people's thoughts on the Dominions Enhanced modnations? The underwater stuff looks pretty cool.
>>568851572Unbalanced dogshit, so basically the same as vanilla
>>568851572Zion is peak. King Solomon demon summoning nation with Cap-recruit Angels is badass. The Temple guard being the EA version of MA Ulm’s guardians is also cool. Also explains what were the humans doing so close to Ashdod/Hinnom, a place famous for its slavery and man-eating giants. The Polynesian (I think?) not-Atlantis+not-Oceania nation, with Eel Knights, stingray whip mermaids, extra-magical centaurs and so on is also pretty cool. The Finnish nation is just Ulm but you add in Trolls in exchange for less metal, which is cool and the Ancestral Warrior is also a really cool unit, as are the Faravashi-like Spirit Animals, but it just makes EA Ulm seem redundant, it is too much Ulm+.
>>568841294The guy I took these thrones off of (Marignon) has Dark Skies up and his bless is the fear+awe combo. So trying to attack in his dominion could easily tank even a 15+morale unit down to 5 like it's nothing followed by an insta-route.I had to bust out all of my giga-move speed Camazots to even push in with skel spam and defeat him for a chance at this, but alas that absolutely tanked my research and I'm not able to get Alt7 fast enough for Iron Walls. Maybe next game I'll prioritize a defensive global, I tend to rush a gem gen and like to get forge (this game I have Earthblood + Forge) but by the late game it really doesn't help as much if you don't have the research to even hit Const7+ like I did this game.
>>568851572The MA Deep Ones with the fish skeletons and whalefall summons are really cool.
GIVE ME BACK MY SNAKE YOU SNAKE STEALING WHORE
>>568856762
>>568856762W8 you can steal titans?
>>568856762Yeah I think we lost to her
>>568856762>Same player won four times in a rowLame
>>568862689Well when half the lobby goes AI it increases the chances of that a lot
End of Culture
hina suddenly hit me with the unsecured website
>>568844345>10 eagles No
>>568864537secure THIS *whips out cock*
>>568864537You using a vpn?
>>568864537>>568870564Also happening to me cant access it on firefox
>>568865887*casts liquefaction*>>568870564No, and I'm on firefox like the other fellow>>568870676You can still access it via more > accept the risks
>>568864537Same>>568870564NTA but I use my VPN often when refreshing hina/doing turns and only started seeing this now
>>568871128There is no option for me to access it
Does it work now?
>>568872661yes thanks
Any meme mods that are fun running?
>>568873046*cough*ahem
>>568876276Is memeage still a thing
Dust to dust
>>568793421Thanks now I can get spanked cause it's been like 5 years since I've played an online game.
>>568880086Glhf
Any idea for golem SCs for Marco?
>>568888147Standard vine/brand/flying shoes?
>>568888147I usually always run>fire/shadow brand>scutata volturnus>starshine skullcap>meteoritic armor>boots of quickness>chain of reconstruction>dancing tridentbasically every game on golems. It gives them teleport access, MR to resist save-or-die stuff and ignores their shit atk skill by using AoEs for clear instead. Could replace the armor or dancing trident depending on resist/anti-counterthug needs.
>>568888147horror harmonica
>>568894053>That shield Worth it?
>>568895092Yeah it's great. You can never have enough shock res and it's more chaff clear + makes any counterthug have to stack their own resist
>>568899491I'll see if I can get some more of themMArco doesn't have a lot of air so it'll be difficult
Do we have an updated magic site % chart for 6?
Do you guys listen to the actual ost?
>>568905409No, I listen to brigador killers ost
Gnight domg
>>568905409Rarely. I've just heard it too many times and dominions is a good game to play while watching tv or somethin
>>568905409If im playing single player yes otherwise no
>>568905409yeah its kino
>>568844551N1 (on a cheap mage) is one of the better lvl 1s imo, even after losing swarm in dom 6.Eagles eyes + elemental fortitude + barkskin + web spam on cast and advance is really under rated.I learned this playing La Pythium and being forced to find a use for the hordes of non blood revelers you get trying to get a blood mage. Really fucks elves lives upEnvenom arrows aint so bad either.
>>568905409dom4 ost
>>568851572I fucking love DE, i might even host a game but I am a shitmin frankly
>>568913426Web is best if your own troops can more or less ignore it. I've used it plenty myself and it can be kinda funny to watch them sling that shit and half hits the enemy, half hits your own dudes so they'll just be standing there staring at eachother.
>>568923018Unless the mage has really appalling base precision eagle eyes and advance and cast will be accurate enough with webs (or vines) to make it worth while.Yeah it doesn't do shit to giants, but it rapes midgets and elves.
>>568905409It’s pretty good, I just have to turn it down cause my autistic brain can’t think if it’s too loud.
Right lads, the last day of VGL qualifiers is here. We might not have a shot at advancing anymore, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make this an entertaining match! Once again, we're in the last timeslot, versus /smtg/. Let's hope it goes well.https://cytube.implying.fun/c/vgleague
>>568937667I baleeb, tonights the night for domg!
>>568937667What's the SI rep, boksi
Ok Ind. I’ll give you one more hour. I know you own a lot of territory with many moving parts.
>>568948669Belphegor
>>568951109Fat boy olev
>>568915491Man of culture right here
>>568937667Domg game startin now
ready domg
Win it for the previous pankoman!
Things aren't looking good
Brutal! Rip domg's soccer dominion
Is the awareness or blur bless better value for a glamour sacred?
>>568963351Awareness is arguably better for cavalry. Blur's also somewhat redundant if you have national glamor access to buff with.
>>568963351awareness works no matter what, but can be rendered useless with enough attacks per round. blur still works even if you're harassed down to 0 defense if you can repel but can be countered by things that see through the blur
i think i figured out why hinaserver games have tough indies, the default indie strength on hinaserver is 5 whereas the default ingame is 4. i knew i wasn't crazy and hina games always had tougher than average indies
bit of an esoteric questionfor purposes of an HP route, is it based on max hp, or starting hp?my pretender had to duck into a hostile 9dom province so he's got a measly 20hp. if I throw him into my enemy next round in a less horrible province where he'll have ~80hp max, will he insta-route if he takes a single bad hit?
>>568975654Based hinadev training domggers to be dominions ubermensch. Imagine how hard we wil ldominate the average player after taking off the training weights. I expect a full /domg/ lobby in the final of lucid's tournament next year
>>568975858it's based on max hp, but it's calculated at the start of battle i believe, so doing things like army of giants won't change the HP route calculations
>>568963351I'd rather take pure defense so they're truly hellish thugs but awareness is fine so they can never be out chaffed
>>568975654Does my god respawn passively eventually or do I need to call god
>>568982563Only if they're immortal
>>568983667What about for Ur?
>>568990147Ur gay

Why do people hype up GSS? It doesn't seem to be that crazy
>>569005310It's cheap and has good stats. As far as budget anti-thug tools go, it's the gold standard.
>>569006361Can it reliably kill an elf thug
>>569012063Spirit sight
>>569012063elf thugs are mainly using defense to stay alive, GSS is better for high prot/HP things
>>569017286So what's good against elfs
>>569019308something that ignores or overcomes defense, be it AOE like frostbrand, skeletons to tarpit them, or spell damageA GSS has pretty good attack so an embedded anti-thug that hits elves while they are bogged down is actually not a bad answer, but its not playing to the GSS's strengthIn general just try to force the elves to fight big battles and invade them before they invade you
>>569019308I think there's a shield that blinds. Fire shield can work if your defense is high. There's the shock damage shield as well. It's not that hard to find a solution really
>>569019308Nets and Vines and Webs. They hate that shit.
Darkness
Wish there was domg blitzs still used to have like 7-8 in my friend group that used to do them in dom5 but they don't like it anymore...
>>569032928But then with how the wheel turns timezones don't line up
