monkeyThe 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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 >>574543107 (OP)

Gnight domg
im a big noob and wondering how to transition into midgame/endgame as ea ulm? do i start spamming shamans to deal with magical opponents?
>>575262909Stupid bandar log
>>575303395Lots of thugs with lots of discounted items.
>>575277867>si gameWhat's a si game?
>>575292908GET INhttps://hinaserver.net/game/79Will be starting next weekend.Now with a couple improvements. Water nations accepted (although the arena stays dry, but Therodos and whatnot can join in), more gems mod, gemgen items mod so the first to arrive to the arena doesn't run out of gems if they have to fight multiple battles, and better structuring to prevent the general "when exactly is the final battle chaos"
>>575306141can you elaborate im #retarded
>>575306596Make dwarven hammers with Earth 3Give them to Warrior Smiths who will now have forge bonus 3Craft items to give to shamans for 2 gems per item. You can give a commander 15 gems worth of items for only 6 gems. What you give them depends what you are fighting.You'd either want a 1 hand weapon (coral blade/frost brand) +shield and armorOr maybe a 2 hand weapon (Greatsword of sharpness maybe) and armor and a hat. Mix in boots and misc items as you feel you can afford or need.EA Ulm is quite a hard nation to do well with desu. You need to know what items are good and when, and you need some finesse in your raiding. Gotta be good at spreading and collapsing your raiding parties to force advantageous fights. You should offer to sell items to other players too, both to make friends and to receive gems, since you forge items so cheap, more gem profit for selling them to others.
>>575303395EA Ulm armies are going to take casualties from enemies no matter what in late game because you have low magic resistance and are entirely human in what you can field. Your mages are mostly good at buffing and crafting rather than doing damage. The best things you can do are, for example:>use your magical diversity to break into death magic through a mix of crafting, summoning mound fiends, and empowerment to summon more powerful units>use your basic recruit anywhere commanders as disposable thugs, equip them with just enough stuff to make them deal damage>fly some of those thugs into the backline of enemy mages>raid>use earth and nature summons where you can to support armies>try to get big spells that can protect your army from enemy attacks, look at the element your enemy is likely to use and counter that>give a bunch of your thugs weapons specifically for doing big damage and attack and set them to attack large monstersEA Ulm can overwhelm your enemies, you just have to compensate for the severe weaknesses. You're conan the barbarian, live like it.

>>575350126Good against barb provinces. Splits them up into chunks your troops can kill easier.
Ok smart guys, justify this spell.(Actually cool concept desu, the price is horrific)
How do I git gud at magic???? I've only got like 20 hours of actual playtime and I'm confused about magic. I know what conjuration and construction does but the other ones I'm lost on when to research them or what they do. And when I do research a few levels it feels like nothing changed.

If a communion master is blessed does it flow down to slaves?
>>575356194No. The only buffs that transfer from master to slaves are spells that have their aoe set as "caster only".So Personal regeneration would work, but not group regeneration. Body ethereal doesn't transfer either because it has aoe: 1
>>575317021No idea, maybe some other anon can chime in.
Enter the self styled "PIT MASTER", don't think he's been posted yet.
>>575359041Exit the self styled "PIT MASTER".I still don't know if the sickle's leg chop ignores MR like the lack of MR negates tag suggests or not, I haven't had time to test it.
>>575359041Here's Ulm who came before me. He got midget mashed because of size 8. I don't think there was much to do about it, enlarging to size 9 would not have helped much.
>>575359279Did the sickle's effect check against MR in the combat log? That would be a test there.I assumed it has no save, and given that it's AoE1 and so undodgable and irresistible, I built affliction res into my build to hopefully negate that + eyeloss xbows and such.
>>575360754Good idea, checked it now. It does not show any MR checks, so it is as I hoped.
>>575354268It's one of the only spells you cast on other players through their computer screens, and will be unresisted by that human being pretty much 100% of the time because it's so uncommonly used, and they'll devise their plans with the assumption of a fort being there. Why you would want to make someone think that is a matter of creativity, and most of the time you wouldn't, but it's nice having the option to make a play like that.
>>575360385Think he would have done better replacing the scutata and bloodstone armor with parrying dagger/swiftness sword and jade armor, his only defense against mashers is, well defense, and the encumbrance hurts him more than they're worth + shield prot is fairly useless against mashers and AP/AN weps.
>>575355439>conjurationsummon stuff>alterationbuff stuff>evocationblast stuff>constructioncraft stuff. Some nice earth buffs>enchantmentbit of everything, but mostly about making things go your way, like weather manipulation. All in all a great path. When in doubt, enchantment it out. Also has horde of skeletons, weapons of sharpness, heat from hell, flaming arrows, dispel, mass flight... Lots of good stuff>thaumaturgymostly curses>blood magicweird stuff that does its own thing, recommended leave it alone for a whileThe best way to get familiar with it is to slim it down how much you tackle at once. Pick a nation you like, check out the spells they can cast natively. Don't bother about the high level spells (research 7+). Most of the really good stuff is at the 6th level of each school, and you want to focus on being able to win your first war before you start worrying about what to do late into the game.Every path has of everything, but here's a brief overview of the main tools:>fireLots of fire damage>waterMostly buffs. Bit weak>earthVery powerful all around, but often expensive>airMostly thunderstrikes and storm. Shock resistance is the rarest one. Very hard to get into it without native access, though>natureBuffs and cheap high HP summons (aka evocation catchers)>deathMostly summons, both mighty and endless skeletons. Cool magic items. Good evocations that cost a gem>astralGenerally weak, but mages can form communions. Then very strong. Some utility like teleportation>bloodMostly offense, some odd utility. But generally an all or nothing: either you go hard blood, or you barely touch itAdditionally, there's remote sitesearching rituals spread out among multiple schools (haruspex, auspex, gnome lore, dark knowledge, voice of apsu...). They find all related sites and you don't have to have a mage walking around so it's faster and safer, but it costs gems.
>>575361215I hear you however, 20+x gems is so much.It should be permanent until province is lost for that price at least
>>575354268>late game>conquer a province close to opponent's capital or some other weak spot>plonk that there, plus a dozen elves with magic mirrors>looks like you just airdropped a fort and teleported a fat army right next to his capital>enemy must consider whether to advance towards you or stay defensive>might even consider whether he wants to attack right away or spend a couple turns waiting for more reinforcements before attacking that fat army>meanwhile you're moving your army elsewhere, but it looks like just two guys thanks to gossamer clothThe only problem is that it's glamour, which is generally shit enough that no one is really eager to put in the effort to break into it, so you usually only have to even consider the trap if you're dealing with elves. But it's still fun and it can buy you a lot of time
>>575360385Based Heimdall
>>575362347Yeah that would maybe be nice. I've only ever seen it used in the lategame when someone has an excess of glamour. DE cuts the base gem cost down to 6, but I'm not sure if I want to live in a world where it's an easily cast spell and you can just fill up all your provinces with fake forts, provided you have a bunch of G4s.
Looks like Phlegra is still trying to join that battle but he's horribly slow.>150 points of damageI fucking love midget smashers
I cant believe the DICKHOLES who normally stall the FUCKING GAME managed to get LIGHTNING FAST TURNS IN after I hand my turn in WITHOUT making sure my PROPHET uses divine blessing.. FUCK YOU. Also, GG mekone, Ubars army got decimated by 50%, mine roughly 85%, most spellcasters intact, massive casualties both sides. I know you’re playing switzerland approach right now but just thought you should know ;) 1 shaytan down, 4/10 ifrit dead 15 Guardians dead 33 Jinn warriors. Honestly? My army got basically wiped so not really worth much. In the long run. Still nice to know I was a big pain in the ass before I finally died. Hah. Ubar can you post the screenshot?
>>575369920It counts as a ‘victory’ btw because Ubars army retreated
Also Idk if magma bolts actually DOES do anything vs Ubar, and also why was my breath of winter not popping off? Fuck sake. Stupid game
>>575370238I recall having an issue with breath of winter, or the fire based version in DE, if there were too many friendlies around lacking resistance that would be exposed to the aura.Was you caster isolated, or were they sharing a cell with others with surrounding forces?
>>575368474Do we wait for him? Is anyone back from the inferno?
>>575371669He can reappear anywhere
>>575355439there is a misconception about magic. everyone yaps that wizards carry the game. they do. but not until they get into higher level tech. don't expect casters do do anything game changing until way later
>>575377601Generally true, but mages also make your troops much stronger even with early game buffs.Body Ethereal can win first wars for example at alt 3. Luck or barkskin too but a bit less.There;s also some early game evos and battle summons which are relatively quite powerful early, like mind burn or summon imps.Also though, it depends
>>575378410Or imps that good?
>>575371008They had many bodyguards, but in my defence, theres a lot of flyers with invis so.. kinda makes sense to wanna keep my mages safe. Not that it was totally waterproof plan. But yea it seems like there’s no strict casting. Because of that. Gay.
>>575386836YeahThey can fly most importantly so they can fuck up scripts
>>575386836Its also that you can interweave reinvigoration with summon imps to throw out a metric shit-ton of them even with B1s. Individually they suck, but 30 jumping on you every round makes a difference. If you have thugs/SCs that can wade through the imps then they become fantastic due to their high attack density causing harassment.
>>575403336Neat I'll try it out Does blood lust work
>>575355439Basically just play the game more or watch playthroughs on YouTube. Most important IMO is to get into the habit of macro-strategic thinking and interrogating your game state regularly, asking yourself questions like how do I improve my position and making projections on the consequences of your decisions. Magic starts to make more sense when you're not operating on the level of making the research numbers go up and instead it's just one piece of a larger strategic context. Obviously you need to know the system though to know your options.
>>575407131Yeah bloodlust is sweet on them, but you do have a problem of timing, especially when the imps have relatively short lifespans. Unfortunately any imps summoned after casting won't get the +4 str, and as the ai likes casting imps + reinvigoration it can be either difficult or impossible to ensure 100% bloodlust coverage.Based on the mage, path and research you can also end your imp spam by jumping in a sabbath with some of the imp casters, or start by making a sabbath so that you don't need to interleave reinvigoration between imp castings. Really depends on how much you need the early flying disruption and whether you want to maximize the size of individual summoning pulses, cost efficiency, or net output. The final benefit to summon imps is they add to your existing hp on the field, which can give you more time before you rout. All temporary battle summons work this way, and its one of their stronger traits.

>>575410761I learned from old Dom 3 let's plays on SA amusingly
>>575253823time is a flat circle
>>575317021it's a good game but it's got a lot of turns where you do nothing but buy items and search for tribute so it gets repetitivethey did severely nerf just spam searching tribute but giving really diminishing returns but it doesnt quite solve the problem where trying to be aggressive early game usually just sets you pretty far behind
>>575346751>vanilla plebeian detectedsloops fixes this but retards in this very thread will say something how vanilla is "pure" or some shit
>>575422745>retards in this very thread will say something how vanilla is "pure" or some shityes. as illwinter (pbut) intended
it has to be!
>>575423490I don't remember making this post, but I must have
>>575422745I think on the whole sloops is much better than vanilla ai and spells, but some of the SCBM fixes are problematic in and of themselves. An example is curse of stones which went to 1E from 3E. This is one of the strongest early game spells, defines certain matchups, and is nearly always correct to cast if you are able to before antimagic is in the field; that's at the 3E cost. At 1E that means any E1 can boost into it, which is absolutely insane, plus its now cheap enough that the decision to cast is mostly independent from gem attrition concerns.SCBM has always had the issue of trying to balance the game around a more average skill level, where the usage of many tools can be quite independent from the actual efficacy. Another great example is adding recuperation to bronze colossus or other certain strong SC pretenders but not adding any significant tools to handle them besides adjusting the ai casting weight for shatter. And no, the new A1 AP weapons might help vs prot thugs or SCs but not against these innate casting pretenders, as any thugs will just get blown away via fists of iron or hand of death. In my current Phlegra game I took a BC in vanilla just to see what I could do with it if I was aggressive to the point of recklessness, and if I wasn't fighting Ulm with E2s everywhere it would have been nearly impossible to kill. At least after recalling it twice it has lost 2 paths and has afflictions ...

>>575467986Yeah, I agree. There's no save against it, and even though my contestant is alive he's been stuck in Inferno since fight 1 and won't get out before the finals next turn.
>>575467986>Phaeacia attacked Agartha in the restroomWhether intention or sheer retardation, I'm getting the feeling this concept might simply be too complicated. A basic grand arena but pretenders only might be a lot easier to handle.Fortunately Phaeacia was repealed and Agartha made it to the arena.EA Arco's bronze colossus sent MA's Arco's bronze colossus straight to hell. Then Agartha's risen oracle too.There's only one battle left: Asura, champion of the pit, gets a chance to face the champion of the arena for the final victory!>>575467986Completely agreed, that was pretty anticlimatic.The whole game was a huge mess, but well, it was an interesting experiment. I'm not very convinced, though. Too many moving parts. "Conquer the central province" is about as complex as it can go before shit gets out of control, I think.Still, thanks to everyone for participating, and remember to join the Grand Arena MA Edition, starting this weekend!

>>5754835701. Not everybody has archers2. Air shield bless exists 3. They can buff air shield too! A point buffed party of 5 nidas can do ridiculous damage. Are they unbeatable? No obviously. They are easily in the top 3 strongest of the age though
>>575484153>not everybody has archersPretty much everyone has archers, and in the odd case you don't, they're an extremely common indie troop.>air shield blessThey aren't that buffed if they're wasting points in an air shield>they can buff air shieldNow that's a bigger problem.However, air shield only lets you ignore 80% of projectiles. Meaning you simply have to bring 4 times as many cheapo indie archers to effectively negate it, and then you also get to kill a mage too and still suffer about 0 attrition.

>>575487795If I was salty I'd have them higher no?
>>575487459Ma Mictlan in b? Above nations like jotun, Agartha, Shinu. Thats fucking insane. Worst land nation in the age by a mile
>>575487960Ma Rlyeh is the best all round water nation in the age, as long as there is 2 water nations in the game. Ys only fucks hard with a solo water experience.I'd rate Atlantis and Pelagia above at least a couple of land nations too. If you dumped all the water nations in D i'd get it because their strength is more circumstantial than land nations at least, but you had to be salty about Ys and break the NAP
>>575487459Absolute mug
>>575488890I like playing Ys is all so I think they're strong
>>575488890Heck, I took Atlantis because crun thinks its a sleeper scales nation, I've never played a fishbitch before, and it doesn't directly counter R'Lyeh while having multiple options for the UW knifefight. Of course I take a build focused on that fight, and we end up spawning in separate lakes. The nation seems decent, and has solid coastal sacred mage recruitment to push past the early game.
>>575487459>Nazca S tiered
>>575386836>Or imps that good?They can fly most importantly so they can fuck up scripts. I will re-iterate this, because imps can and will fly and attack even before your troops set to immediately fly and attack the rear at the start of the battle. THey can utterly disrupt enemy formations, mess up intricate plans, and even invite all of their "Fire closest" archers to shoot Just Right Next to that mage battery that some imp flew next to. An excellent disruptive option and it comes into play very early for Blood users, very potent in its place.

>>575492742I am a 35 year old virgin, so I can play this.
>>575492742Yeah, and they either share their secrets or keep them to themselves so if you just walk into the game then you will run into every little trap and trick that the more experienced ones around you know until you become like them, tricking and trapping your neighbors when you see an opening and hoarding hard won and obscure knowledge.
>>575490360Ma Atlantis was being held back by not being able to recruit reef warriors in coastal forts.It was finally fixed but they haven't caught onto the meta yet.But for real I think they are decent. Kings of the Deep are super fun mages. Just yeah here have a water 5 mage, or a sick fucking acid caster. Also imo they are the best looking Atlatnis. The orange coral breastplates are sex
>>575492742Not true, I'm no wizard still have a couple years to go
>>575499543The funny thing is that complete rookies to the game can do quite well given some general guidance about the way the game works and the naction that they want to play.

>>575540415>Update: it made him insane in real life
>>575523603Investing in PD also disables a decent chunk of the indie attack random events. I think 5 cancels a bunch and 10 will block most?
>>575469378On one hand I'm a bit ashamed of cheesing the whole thing, but on the other I'm very proud my theorycrafting of just stacking a ton of range boosters worked.Uh, Bandar, weren't you supposed to come fight me?
>>575540682+1 Astral
>>575538414d-drawfags... please.....
>>575469378So with the chicken several turns behind I've no idea what the plan is now.Do I wait in the pit for the chicken to make his way to the arena and get sent to hell?
>>575538414Lewd
>Unfinished turnMOTHERFUCKER
why don't we talk about conquest of elysium anymore
>>575564915Host MP.
>>575564915CoE is an evil use of illwinter's time and energy, every time they spend stepping out with the other woman is time they don't spend contributing to this family
>>575564915Because its 95% a single player game
Wailing Winds
>>575577685Is it still op?
>do diplo with phaecia over some provinces>gives me a shit deal>rebuke offer with a better deal and move into disputed territories >he goes Ai. Whaaaaat
the usa of this game is abysia
>>575541636Ive been full on barbarian invaded at 15 pd. in my experience 20 pd is enough to beat random mobs
Machiatto.. I think I know why so many players are going AI..
>>575579070why
>>575579070¿????
>>575577842Yes
>>575516082I'll do this when I get home from work Jotun did do a turn before going stale but 3 turns is a bit much.
Beolsk, you should’ve warned me! Now you are tagged as stalling and have to be amongst the first to do your turn
Is Sauro the best nation for battlefield summon spam?
>>575592397No one's outspamming C'tis and the foul vapors are the cherry on top
>>575592397Niefl / Jotun turbosabaths of gygjas with regenerating werewolf slaves would beg to differ
>>575592397I think it's La Pythium.Big nature mages for howl and swarm, death 2 and death 1 + astral 1 for skellies, all sacred mages. They have reasonable access to rigor mortis, foul vapors, quagmire to give a win condition to your hordes of battle summons.
>>575538690a replacement where... up your ass?
do we talk about conquest of elysium here too
Well its been fun guys, but I've decided to go ai in all my games here. I simply can't deal with 24 hr timers when I spend 2-3 hrs at a minimum on my turns, especially playing as Phlegra; hell I just spend 90 mins setting up a fight with Ulm and was still only about halfway scripted. Peace, and I hope things go well for you. Hopefully some of you live to your natural lifespans, I sure as shit don't expect to.
>>575606421I asked for longer turns already too though. Is there even an admin still?
>>575538690WHAT?
>>575606421how is 24hrs not enough
when youve been playing in only one age for a long time and you go back to one of the other ages and you see it and you say - damn this age is so kino.amirite?
Ur goodUruk BAD
>>575610937Trve
I'm not even sure what's going on in the duel arena anymore, but I think we can call that one a day. Needs much tighter control, or much simpler rules, I think.Head to the arena for that final duel, Bandar. Someone's gotta knock that bronze colossus down a peg or two. After that, we get a champion, and that whole mess is over!
>>575606421>>575606682I'm still here but dead, I'll make it 48 hours. I either missed posts or forgot to do it or something
Tomorrow I am off to the Danube for the annual summer school of science, Sci-fi and sports. The games shall get a big extension until we can set up the internet or I get a decent signal. This is not the same as me going to the mountains to lift stuff, we will return to a vaguely normal turn schedule soon. Expect 9-ish days of unreliability, as that is how long the summer school will last. Wish me luck hosting my tabletop class!
>>575613548Have fun bwo
>>575613662I can’t wait! I will debut my Fansplat for WoD tied around Fishpeople! (I co-wrote it)
>>575612779Tbf to you when I asked, of the 3 people who replied to me it was not a definitive answer
>>575614028Dominions doesn't care about species, only gender and seduce-immune
>>575611427Most likely getting banished but I'll try, the only real way to get through would be to misdirect the casting AI or distract it with a juicier target (which can't be done in 1v1s). I mean I'm confident in my ability to return from the pit, but we'd just keep the merry go round going forever. I'll move onto the arena this turn.
>>575615284>pitI meant hell. Also some day there should be a duel arena with DE, that one has some fun pretender chassis.
>>575615284I think there is a counter but I won't say it until it's over. It's a pretty unfun tactic, I'll fully admit.
I've got enough thrones to win the game now. Are there any climactic battles you guys want that I should delay for, or should I end this stalefest?
>>575617657Go for it!
>>575616351Cranking casting speed and timestopping before you? Alternatively if you have a midge pretender you can use a crown of ice or whatever to autosummon elementals with more HP than you that will eat the banishment.
>>575618180Even with the fastcast crown I don't think you can outcast an innate spellcaster since they just reduce everything to 100% cast time, but I suppose you could roll a 50/50 with another innate.
>>575618151So ends Warhams.I feel a bit bad since I ended up taking so much off chainstalers, but what can you do? At least my victory over the Wood Elves felt a bit earned, even if they did go AI after the murdering winter suckerpunch despite having a bunch of golems and dragons and cool shit left over.I still don't know why Nurgle disappeared, he was absolutely in a winning position.Also, is there a way to get all the graphs once you've won? I wanna look at them.I'll do a writeup of my thoughts on Tilea as a nation later.
>>575618665Huh. The more you know

>>575625726Army of Sneed
Dominions 7 will have boats
>>575628658They already have boats it's called sailing
>research and get a cool underwater commander to mind vessel>summon naiad>it can't even leave its province>mind vessel did nothingok then
>>575629279Use transform on your naiad.If you do it underwater though theres a decent chance shell transform into an aquatic only creature though.
>>575629279naiad is only 10% homesick anon, just make her walk
>>575631764in dom6 homesick units can't benefit from any sort of regen though so she will eventually die if you don't transform her
>>575628658Will they be fun or lame like in CoE
>>575636214Water provinces will be split between surface and submerged provinces. Just like caves for dom 6. Surface water has no income, but newly introduced ports will trace income across surface waterBattles on surface water will take place between 2 or more boats that have pulled up next to eachother. Boats are flammable
How do I bring my aquatic only units onto land
>>575641379you dont unless they're commanders :) have fun :)
>>575641379Amulet of the Fish
>>575637215sounds fun but only if amphibious units can choose to surface and fight land armies on boats. rlyeh pretender rising from the sea just to get rammed by a ship would be kino
>>575641851its over
>>575642726yep ea rlyeh and pelagia have major issues because of that. ma pelagia too to a lesser extent with their op mounted sacreds not being able to leave the ocean after the waterbowl
>>575642726Pelagia love!
>>575251698>>574543107Ermor here; That was a TRULY memorable match.We should host MAster_Tactics V soon...
>>575649129Good job!
I am very new. How exactly do mods work when you play multiplayer? Do you need to enable the same mods as them if you don't have them enabled, or is there something that'll automatically set things up for you there?
>>575651280They will get auto enabled on the match
>>575651397Are there automatic downloads for them as well, or do you need to grab them yourself, or does hinaserver have something?
>>575651280they auto download but you have to be careful about enabling the mods when you create your pretender otherwise incompatibilities will arise
>>575651669Everything makes sense now. Thank you.
>>575579791>>575582663>:)
>>575651280The host determines the mods and you should automatically download them
Burden of Time
>>575659384That spell was already cast by bill gates.. dammit someone dispell this shit already
>>575306185You should look up trusty research arena master anon
Ghost Grip
Fourth age soon no doubt
>>575676836Age of the Mushussu
>>575676836already exists
>>575676836Just remove MA, it's such a boring age. It used to at least have Ermor and some others that were fun but it's all been "balanced" into the dullest age for dull retards.
>>575676836hmm yes... ive been thinking about getting into dominions modding.i still have this idea.... the age of heroes.............iykyk
>>575677323Wait it's been updated to 6¿??
>>575676836What's the next logical step after LA?I'd imagine blood abuse culminated into a canon Astral Corruption event that fucked everyone forever.I expect Horrors lurking everywhere, rapid industrialization and magical machines powered by human suffering.
>>575678667I don't think it would fit in dominions. It would be cool as a spin-off game though. Imagine a post-apocalyptic fantasy world where the horrors have mostly eaten every living being and you're shaping the world before the new "EA" pretenders arrive in the new turn of the wheel
>>575676836we are already in the final age of dominions
>>575678667More horrors, less magic, basic gunpowder
>>575677635MA has the most nations in my favorite nations list though.
>>575251698dicks out
>>575681945True Trump is the first doom horror that appears
>>575687367for dominions
