Holy Burning Meese 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Our pastebin (extremely outdated)https://pastebin.com/wjbSA98Y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>>581903913
ummmm...
Attention Disciples fans:I'm adminning a MA Disciples game with three teams. The planned mods are Divinitus, Trusty Research, Improved Casting AI, and possibly Omniscience, which is an observer mod (it'll be used if I can observe without having to play to balance teams).Please visit domg.men to claim your (MA) nation. Remember your password, as you'll need it to access the imageboard, which will look like pic related. The anti-bot check is the squash you launch out of catapults and/or carve for Halloween.The teams will be assigned randomly, there will be three total. You will use your nation as the username and the password you entered to access the boards, which will remain locked until you are assigned to a team.In approximately 66 hours, the signups will end, and each team will be given time to work out their pretenders and disciples and come up with a cool team name before the game actually starts. If there are requests to change nation as a result of your devised plan I'll facilitate it, but please avoid that if at all possible (it gives other teams less time to adjust their plans and causes a mess in general).The actual game will be run through Hinaservers, just like our normal games in this thread. However, the imageboards will stick around until the game completes, so you'll be able to continue coordinating with your team.If you have an issue with the website please let me know.I encourage you to try if you haven't played Disciples before. It's substantially different from the base game. We will be using a generated map for fairness and clustered starts to promote teamwork, so keep that in mind.To the guy who previously signed up as Ulm:I accidently your registration when I was wiping my test posts (I ran the script to wipe everything instead of just the boards). Please reregister. I promise I'll back up everything before doing something like that again. Sorry.
>>583363167Spoken elk
>>583363580I feel like this will go bad but I do understand your desire for a diplo via imageboard. So I'll give it a go. Also I hate Disciples.
How do i kill myself like Mictlan did in the Arena? regards, Utgard
https://hinaserver.net/game/129https://hinaserver.net/game/129https://hinaserver.net/game/129Fields_of_MArsDreamAtlas + MA + Divinitus + SCBM 1.13!!! I am kinda over Divinitus now, seeing the insanity some of the nations in ELAsyium are pulling out, but I think a few games will close out soon (tm) so I want to start advertising this.Also Ys has zero good god options in Divinitus, feel like recruit anywhere Kernow is kinda... majorly redundant, and the rest of the options are kinda mid compared to what's out there.
>>583364301Destroy your temples, kill your prophet/god.You guys should patrol your caps with spirit sight, I am summoning manifestations with hectic gear to dom kill everyone and win with 0 points.
>>583364370Care to elaborate on the ELAsium insanity?
>>583365432I did, i am pillaging my remaining province hoping indies invade or some shit
>>583363810If it goes bad I'm out like $5 for the domain name and a weekend of effort. If it goes well the upside is way bigger, since I really do like disciples. I hope it goes well, but we can't know unless someone tries.
>TURN 20 OF THE ARENAFeminie's turn! A huge horde of crossbowmen (LA not beating the allegations here) and lady knights charges right at the arena. And for a change, this time there IS some decent mage support.The crossbowman ball got buffed with fire missiles and, supported by a nice frontline, actually managed to eat away the dog frontline.Both frontlines faded away rapidly under the literal crossbow fire and ultimately Feminie's prevailed - but right as they killed the last few melee dogs, they routed and the rest of the army routed too. Andramania's crossbowmen, despite being unprotected, held their ground.The arena has flipped from heat to cold scales. Maybe a cheeky wolven winter helped Feminie resist the fire shields.Still, the dogs took massive losses on this fight. Will this be the end of doggie supremacy? We will see!For now, point for Andramania. Plus 0,25 for the arena victory.In other news, >>583363282 Mictlan Mictlan'd himself out. At least he got 0.25 points.
Twineborn
>>583372540Here the current tally
>>583372752How the fuck did Mictlan die like that
>>583364370not true. The Coral reef pretender gives you a massive resource boost for massing Morvarch. And 1-2 Holy 3 thugs with 200 leadership. And UW fort recruit sacreds. It makes you diet Atlantis
>>583375602I guess, its not like you're struggling for thugs as Ys though
>>583375602Interesting
>>583375004Maybe one of the newbies who didn't know about Mictlan's dominion? The arena is pretty much always stuck at one candle so I doubt anyone got any candles into his territory. Must have faded away by himself
>>583381893Newbie who has only ever played in the Arena games so far here, I'm innocent. I'm not Mictlan.
>>583363282>>583372540i had 2 candels in the cap and 2 in another province without bloodsacrifices set up.well a -2 dom event happened and the candels in the cap died to dompressure
>>583381893>>583384194no i am a domg "veterean" i even won games already
>>583384194Wish my cap died, i keep getting lucky events despite musfortune 2
>doing multiple tests with buffing, positioning, etc for impending battle>somehow, no matter what I script, slapping my big boys at the front and telling them to just immediately zugg and 'attack closest' leads to the least losses and casualtiesretardmaxxing is the way to go bois, no casters needed
>>583385983its not retardmaxxing, its just beauty in simplicity. less is more.elite infantry in the center, weaker infantry on the sides, scripted to attack closest. ranged in the back, scripted to fire closest. cavalry on the flanks scripted to hold and attack rear.simple as.
>>583389638I habeeb it
>>583385983The way of the grug is an easy one to take.
Are any of the supply destroying spells worth it
>>583409948if they have a ton of dudes inside and youre not cracking it yeah it can help but generally the siege crackers like the earth shatter or whatever it's called to break the siege is better but both can be good combined. Disease is a bitch
>>583384467>>583384194>>583381893should we roll back or noalso tiench you are last

Gnight domg
>>583470447But its morning?
Sup Domg, I'm gonna try and get good at dominions. I suck at understanding what magic and summons to cast, but I am competent at everything else. Obviously there's combos and stuff, but I'm at that state where I often have strong gems, magic, big armies so on so forth, and then throw. Big issue is removing other big armies and mages, so I'm gonna finally get that arena mod and do testing.
*casts orgy*
6 of you join that all Ulm game already, I need to slay I need to elf I need to try and become PankoConan
>>583480651>pankoconanAnon panconan was right there
>TURN 21 OF THE ARENAAndramania pulls back! Tienchi easily captures the arena from the PD, with the faction's signature mass friendly fire on its own frontline.Next comes Xibalba, but the strategy doesn't pan out. The bats attack rear and get immediately butchered. The frogs rout barely a round or two later under the rain of arrows, long before making it into melee.Finally Lemuria. The ghosts also break pretty much immediately under the arrow rain, just like the frogs before. The grand lemurs threatened with pulling another Thermopilae, but the devi ate them up in an instant. I'm not even sure where 70 of those grand lemur kills have come from... Skeleton summons maybe?Point for Tienchi, plus 0,75 for three arena victories!
>>583485136Extra mention to Tienchi for achieving ludicrous speeds
>>583485336>>583485136i forgot to script my battle before going to bed, i read 12 hours left at 5pm when i opened the turn and thought i would be good till 5pm today in my sleep deprived statedon't know how i even won when the mages had no script and everything was just slapped down randomly to organize lol
Bad news boys: gonna need an extension until Friday night GMT+1 time for Gods_of_EAgypt, the game's phase is too critical to stale now. >>583364370 (assuming you're the admin)Going to need similar for ELAsyium (Abysia) but since I'm not intending to do much other than blood hunt and summon the next few turns, I'd be fine if it's just an extension to 36 hours so I only stale twice or so. Just don't panic when I stale 2 (worst case 3) turns in a row.>>583485336I'm also in the arena as C'tis but I wasn't going to make any moves for the next ~3 turns so it's fine if I stale them, again just so you know it's a controlled staling.
>>583488098Can you not ask a friend to do your turns bud I'll do the extensions
>>583488098We'll do slower turns throughout the week so you only miss a couple, then
>>583488796Yum
>>583488609>>583488796Thanks.>get a subTried to no avail as nobody I knew wanted to bother with "ferrying around onis as another man's lategame Yomi sloppy seconds", which also happens to be the one that's in a phase I can't really stale in. For the other two feel free to forcehost if I'm the last one.
Uruk should be BANNED
>>583488609>>583488796Also sorry, should have said I'd need one after this turn in EAgypt, and it seems ELAsyium came through fast enough that I can do one there too. Still have 4 hours so I can do them now quickly.
>>583495045The birbs came through!?!?
>tfw only realized now after at least two-thousand hours of Dominions that the red goblins are actually holding a club and not a badly drawn oni sprite t-posing
>>583470447good night anon
>>583496141Ok did a double, this is as far as I go though, next turn in EAgypt I'll need the extension until Friday night.
>>583485136I cast bone grinding so yeah probably some friendly fire
A nice fight in MA_Sturm. This skeleton guy went AI but he is still stomping over 1/3of the maphttps://files.catbox.moe/1um7hu.mp4
>>583474704You need to carefully go through your nation's spellcaster list, then look through all of the spells that you can achieve with those. Then go back and look at all of the items that boost various spellcasting traits that line up with your nation and make sure you can build those, either from National units or from your pretender, if you need them in the mid-late game. Items such as the Skull staff, the Vince Mace, and the Earth Boots (All found at Construction 5) give +1 to Death, Nature, and Earth, respectively. These are key items in those paths, but investigate those and also consider that your mages Fatigue themselves quickly, and find them some gear that gives Reinvigoration. From there you just need to focus what is practical for any given game you are in. As you play more and more you will pick it up naturally, take notes from others as much as you can.
>>583497302Its not a kanabo sadly
>>583363580Bump!Going to extend the signups probably until we can get more people, but I will open up the boards to allow the start of coordination at the original date.
When's the next patch....
Is having a poison resistance bless worth it? not only just poison resistance, the resistance blessing in general?
>>583538485if you see a ctis probably
>>583538485Generally no. Especially no if you have death explosion.The reason being you're paying a lot for something a spell can do, and you still have to cast the damn spell anyways since otherwise all your non-sacreds will still get battlefield wiped.That being said, it can be worth it if you have a specific use in mind, be it thugging, an SC, you know you're up against Abysia in a cave fight, or whatever else. If you can't point to the specific reason you want to have a resistance and can't get it elsewhere, then consider it. Also, consider that you need to actually bless the unit. Your prophet and pretender can't be in every battle, so make sure you have a reliable way to use it. Holy flasks take a slot, spells take a script slot. If you can't get the whole battlefield at once it's much less attractive.Of course, I'd still take poison resist over plus 2 health. But I'd also take reinvigoration or magic resistance over like 3 or 4 health.
>>583539706>>583539870hmmmm... thanks.
>>583538485Yes The new spells completely rape yo

Hi, /domg/, oldfag of dom 3/4/5 here.Dom 6 is 40% on sale, is it worth it? Also is there still salty oldfags to play with alive? (Trannycords are too estrogen and "civilized" for my taste)
>>583560684there are plenty of old fags, I even played with an oldfag mentioned here sometimes on a game from rpgcodex

Bump for warhammer40k is the greatest dominions 7 opportunity ever
>>583580787How?
>>583583585Because 40k is cool
>>583560684It's not but if you want to play multiplayer you're gonna need to pay the toll
>>583560684I've only played Dom 5, so the qrd on the changes from that game:>A couple new nations.>New school of magic, Glamour. It's neat, even if it hurt Air and Astral to lose spells to it.>Introduction of a cave layer, an indirect buff to cave nations.>Balance changes to focus more on big armies; troops are cheaper and big buffs are harder to get out.>Bless system got worked to be more flexible>Oh, and now riders and mounts count as separate units
>>583538485It's a big tradeoff. Resistances are expensive, but poison, fire and zapping are the damage types of the spells most frequently used to get rid of hordes of tough sacred troops, so you can get a lot of mileage out of piling resistances. However, they're expensive, so you're also reducing how effective your sacreds are the rest of the time.Poison resistance is important if there's nature and specially water/nature nations in the game, and mostly irrelevant if you've got good access to nature, since the poison resistance spell is easy to paint on your troops.Air, on the other hand, is a rare path. So the list of nations that can thunderstrike your army to pieces is very short, but if you face one, you better have either have air yourself or the resistance bless.

Ulm quit? What a shame, I was hoping we'd get some actual fights in. This game blows
>>583618601players in a losing position are not obligated to provide you with entertainment by "giving you fights" you entitled gayass bastard.also, how can a game "blow"? if you were winning the game, you would simply be winning the game and you wouldnt be here complaining about it. sounds like youre projecting and its akshually your own gameplay that "blows", not the game itself.
>>583619904retarded opinionmight as well just have everyone go ai when theyre not the current leader and make every game garbage
>>583620875so go ai then
>>583619904>not obligated to provide you with entertainment Yes they are. It's called "being a good sport". If you're going AI without even making an attempt at making the most of your situation why even bother joining the game at all, you waste of oxygen?This is why nobody takes this place seriously whatsoever.
>>583621849>Yes they arenope, nobody owes you anything.>you waste of oxygenprojection>nobody takes this place seriously whatsoever.projection
>>583622057we get it youre ancap and have autism
>>583622057Repeating a new word you've just learned all the time for two weeks straight, regardless of how poorly it applies to a situation, is a habit of children. Projection means "ascribing someone else's actions your own intents and emotions" you nimrod
>>583621849the ai ulm isnt stopping you from having fights. if you want fights you can select you army and send it to another player's army to have a fight. did you know that?
>>583621849>Yes they are. It's called "being a good sport".That's actually entirely contrary to the standard definition. Being a good sport is universally recognized as conceding when you have little to no chance of victory, whether it be chess, Starcraft, golf, MMA, or M:tG. In fact, the only reason things like death basketing are controversial is entirely because the standard game theory optimization of maximizing win probability falls apart entirely when someone can't win. The absolute best move for them personally is to stop playing, and the best move for the remaining players is arguably to do that as well, since many of the alternatives are essentially spiting individuals and ruining the overall integrity of the game.

>>583474704The trick is to never fight fair and just try to ruin the enemy's gameplan instead of having a good gameplan yourself.If the enemy has a really strong summon like grigori trying to counter thug is probably impossible so you want to life for life it or magic duel it to just kill it that wayIf the enemy has a strong mage corps backline with a ton of dudes rigor mortis , bone grinding, to try and get rid of them is better than trying to cast the spells they're casting

>TURN 22 OF THE ARENATienchi tried to defend the arena, but got the bull treatment by Pangea. Pure mutual annihilation: the minotaurs quickly ran over Tienchi's army, but the deva stuck around and turned them into mince meat while carving an escape route.Ragha simply ran over the few bulls that managed to group up, but a victory is still a victory.Point for Ragha! +0,25 for one victory.Pangea 0,25 for one victory
>>583714158Nice to see minotaurs not be useless for once

>>583363580We currently only have three signups; we need more players! I'll be opening the boards momentarily though, so anyone who signs up can immediately (well, as soon as I assign you a team) begin collaborating.
>>583741951What happens if people don't show up? Continue waiting until they do?
>>583744014If people don't show up by the end of the weekend I'll accept that apparently there isn't a sufficient population to play disciples here. I don't understand why not, but I also can't force it.
>>583745547I think disciples is just inherently high effort and most people who want to put in high effort will just join discord
>>583745547It's not that I don't care for disciples, it's that I don't care for Divinitus.
>>583746753That's the kind of thing I'd've liked to hear when I asked about mods before. I figured it'd be an attractant since it gives the disciples something more appealing than just taking a rainbow mage, someone to cast a specific ritual, or expander. If it'd make a difference in signups though, I'm willing to change it. I'd just like opinions from those who have already signed up as well.
>>583747971I'm fine with dropping divinitus.
>>583754792LA Mict is something I never hear about
>>583758136actually neither do I. oh /domg/ veterans please tell me, how is the LA mictlan? like are they good or bad?
>>583764047>>583758136Having now played them twice, bad. They need a hellbless and an awake expander just to get ok expansion and they still get rushed down by everyone.The nation has a ton of late game potential, but its held back by a terrible terrible early game and the need to get a blood economy rolling before you really have your build online.
>>583767312>>583764047Amusingly priest king is top tier in CoE
>>583767720Has anyone ever tried a CoE multiplayer game? Seems like it'd be top tier cancer between the turn count and flip-flopping you could do with hamlets, but also the memes could be great.
>>583758136LA mictlan was in the arena game and still managed to die despite not being able to be directly attacked because of their dominion mechanic
>>583769707What the hell, how

>>583872395Jodie Muir (pic related), Brom, Antonio Manzanedo, Bogdan Rezunenko, Boris Vallejo, Frank Frazetta, Igor Kieryluk, Peter Polach, Piotr Jablonski, Wayne Barlowe, Wero Gallo, and Zdzislaw Bekinski are all some great artists to check out for (mostly darker) fantasy. Variety of styles, but many can easily evoke the kind of mysticism and legend that I associate with Dominions. It's actually one of the things I like about the simplistic sprites we get; it leaves you plenty of room to fill in the gaps.

a while ago I made an ai harness that lets your AI assistant play dom6 with you. I've only tested it in singleplayer, but it should work in mp, too. You can chat with your AI about dom6, you can get it to create a pretender, and you can play a game and talk about the game with it as it plays. Right now it still needs you to initiate turn 0 (connect as the LLM's faction and just get the .trn file to generate properly, mark turn as unfinished and exit or save and quit without ending the turn) but then it goes from there. I've now made it public for anyone else interested in playing with LLMs.Features sections to give it permanent advice about how to play dom6, as well as give it a character card SillyTavern style in case you want it to adopt a certain personality while playing.The USING.md should have most of the information you need about how to use the harness, and the readme contains install instructionshttps://github.com/dnichols1122/dom6-ai-assistant/

Half of the player base: Golems are an extremely useful tool, especially when kitted out for specific purposes you need them forThe other half: NOOO you can't use golems! they're gem sinks that take hundreds to even be useful! you can always find better uses for your gems than a golem!which is it /domg/?
>>583946778the one that wins games
ARENA ZEMATIA GOOOOOOO>>583946778I mean you shouldnt blindly build golems but anyone saying they're useless is a retard. Sometimes you need a magic phase rapist.

>TURN 23 OF THE ARENAUlm air dropped his blood fountain right on the arena and tried to pull horrors, then teleported back home. Doesn't look like anything nameworthy came out. The battle ended pretty much instantly. Still,>Ulm attacked Ragha but was defeatedso 0,25 for Rapha.And then Ulm attacked the arena again with a huge army. The zhayedans landed right next to the black priests and got to kill a good bunch, but the thralls got in the way and absorbed the rest of the casualties while Ulm's army mopped away the rest of Ragha's army.Agartha tried next with another huge army and barely any mage support. Pretty standard face off that ultimately went to a clear Ulmish victory, but possibly more costly than pictured: the battlefield was covered in disease clouds and I don't know how many, but at least a lot of the Ulmite troops have now caught something nastyWill Ulm try to go full Attila before his army meets the same fate? We will see!Point for Ulm, + 0,5 for two victories0,25 for Ragha
>>583934449Based chug
>TURN 24 OF THE ARENAUlm abandoned the arena! Piconye took over with no losses. But even though that was just minimal PD and that mage was apparently set to retreat right away, we still have a battle against more than just a basic scout or similar. Hence, 0,25 for Piconye.Then came Lemuria, who seems to be this game's unlucky bastard. Piconye's priest-heavy army front loaded with death explosion hobbits and backed by a shitload of crossbowmen with fire missiles tore the poor ghosts apart, and was also responsible for most of their own losses. Lemuria tried hard with darkness and some nice evocations from the grand lemurs, but nothing could stand to the tall wrath of the 'bits.Point for Piconye! +0,5 for two victories
>>583946778Golems are an incredibly useful tool, they don't typically win games on their own but a magic phase astral guy who can't be easily killed and never routs is incredibly useful through the mid and late game, both as a SC and as a way to ensure your army gets antimagic off.If you are mindlessly making golem SCs and nothing else, it is pretty easy to counter though.
>>583937495Kino fight, love a lategame where battlewide icons stretch across half the screen. I also can't believe I forgot about the God-King and unscripted serpent's blessing for relief instead.>>583853063This was also the battle in question that made me post this. In my replay it showed my side full routing and my Dai Onis getting picked off after? Very strange
>>583957608300 EXPLODING MIDGETSBeing able to recruit them in every province is making my dreams come true. I can recruit 60 every turn.
There are currently four signups for the disciples game, and we're still looking for more players. Currently Divinitus is open for debate as an inclusion. If you are interested in signing up, please visit domg.men The website will accept your signup with the passkey of an orange squash associated with this month. A team will be assigned hopefully within 24 hours (earlier if you reply and tell me you signed up!).The imageboards are open; you use your signup login to access them and begin coordinating with your team. If you're worried about being in too many games at the moment or have a mod request/issue, please let me know! If we can't get enough signups by the end of the weekend I'm going to shelf the idea for a while, so I'd much rather delay or modify things to accommodate people. You can ctrl+F my trip to find more information.

>>583956508>>Ulm attacked Ragha but was defeated>so 0,25 for Rapha.this reminds me. i think there is a flaw with your point system, admin.the way it is now, technically one player could feed another player points by purposely losing a bunch of battles with minimal investment, all the while not even trying to win the game himself, so he can sit on 0 points but feed infinite points to other players.so how about this: victory points from battles get deducted from the losing side. if the loser has 0 points then you dont get points for winning against him.obviously keep it as it is in the current game, this is a suggestion for a potential next one.

>>584004695I kinda assumed that people would behave rationally, but yeah, that does sound like a positive change in that sense.However, it's not the same value. +0,25 for you is a lot more valuable than -0,25 to two opponents out of 10. Would need some more refinement

how do you actually deal with stealth units vs an actual competent opponent?
>>584071496mind hunt, if practical, and also aggressively raiding the enemy can be better than trying to predict where they will be
>>584071496Summon shit at chokepoints that have watcher bonuses so you can patrol them out immediately. But usually you just have to kill them first. Always kill the elves asap or they WILL elf all over you
>>584071496Mind hunting is the most convenient way to get rid of stealth parties, just point and click where they are then mop up the dumped troops. MR stacked thugs are tougher and aren't really worth predicting, it's better to guard high income/value provs you can't afford to lose with counterthugs.Only way to stop them for good though is to force fights on your terms instead of playing damage control.

>>584047659Thanks for being a good sport too man, shame Ind dropped out. I would've probably focused on Ulm a lot more and prepared to war you since I wanted that throne south of Uruk and Ulm's and I would've won.I got construct 9 and then saw nearly every artifact was crafted and realised oh man I have 20 glamour gems and a dream.If I played a little better I probably could've defended my two forts, I had a adept with 6!!! pen for some master enslave casts but alas. GG
Ermor deserved it.
i've been running lobbies for my friends and i'm having a lot of fun working on maps, and after designing the one for our last lobby (and playing homm3) it got me thinking, you could probably do a lot of interesting things with map design, indie choices, and minor events. for instance, a game where all of the thrones are located in a mountainous northern land across a gulf that is populated by barbarian indies (with forts on mountain passes) and undead. is this sort of thing worth pursuing?
Gnight domg>>584112179Yes, custom Indies especially

Explain EA Machaka to me. I don't understand their sacreds. Don't they completely fall over to anyone using magic weapons? Wouldn't any neighbor with magic weapons want to fight you by default because of that?
>>584220306l m f a o is that tnn
raw_mEAt shitmin here.Are we restarting because 2 players stalled turn one, or do I just set them AI?
>>584222968restarting and removing the stalling players. its only turn 2
>>584216537They're more situational then other Sacreds. If any enemy can mass magic weapons it'll be a bad time for them as it takes them down from being protection 20 to protection 6. But they're still big guys who hit really hard with magic weapons of their own that cause fatigue. Good for anti-thugging or making neighbors think twice about rushing you with an expander.

The attempt at the Disciples game has been put on indefinite hold due to lack of interest. Sorry to those that signed up and were interested. I may try again at some point in the future, but it'd probably lean into more of a meme plan just to get people engaged.

>>584211373There is no way ea rlyeh is S tier i dont care what this schizo says and I refuse to invest time in such a retarded tier list after seeing that as the very first one

>>584254006Yea sorry dude I aint feeling disciples and Im already in enough games, I'd only join out of pity which probably isnt good long term for a team game
>>584268667You've been baited by clickbait but in the opposite way. This was his actual tier list.
>>584270234Lmao what a dick. I was also confused how yomi wasnt S tier. That list is much more reasonable. Just goes to show how much better your quality of life is when you ignore retarded things instead of engaging though

>>584211373I think I didn't watch but the meta, rules, and map design in Dominions are heavily community dependent so there's no possible way to make a tierlist that reaches beyond any one community.

>>584324195There is a total war mod. For Medieval 2 factions. It isn’t that good

It's one of the better choices that hasn't been done yet.
