There hasn't been a good dominions thread in a while. Any good mod nations?I wanna boost grobaashka, it's a mod for a goblin nation :^)
I have nothing but contempt for the kind of person who looks at a franchise like Dominions and goes "You know what these games need? More generic fantasy races!"
>>2129215These are not your mommas gobs
>>2129230
>>2128974>>2129215Gobboniggers get the rope
>>2129270>>2129754Whats the matter anons? You're not gobist are you? |:^)
>>2128974Lost 5 out of 6 mp gamss because of diplo and imrealized it's not for me.All the mechanics and builds and autism is just window-dressing. The real game is discord pms.
>>2130781Then play on /domg/ or use non diplo games
>>2130794How is that gonna stop people from talking to each other?
>>2130781The first game I won I barely did any diplomacy at all
>>2128974>>2129230I'm sold. Downloading now.
>>2130781turns out you need to pump charisma dump int and just play garbage innocuous garbage builds that win off the backs of other's efforts
>>2131041Enjoy your white haired gobs!
>>2128974I didnt play for awhile and just noticed the other week that Dom6 Enhanced was released. pretty awesome kindof semi-overhaul mod. the hardest part for me switching from 5 to 6 was losing enhanced.the mod nations included with it are okay. I only really liked Nahullo from Dom5 (renamed to Sitecah in 6 for some reason). but the added spells are very good.
>>2130861You can turn it off nigga
>>2130781you play to style on people with better tactics and scripting, not to outright win gamesthere is no greater joy than posting a lopsided battle report in /domg/ and making people ask wtf happened to your opponent
>>2132577What new nations were added?
>>2133497too many for me to name. I would guess probably about 15 in total across all ages. most of them are somewhat derivative of the vanilla nations, but also fit with the game because of it.the two that stand out from me are sitecah (previously nahullo in dom5enhanced) that combines mictlan and hinnom. basically mormon mythology I think. also the dragon court in the middle age.again, it's the new spells and summons that really make it worth playing. as well as some of the other miscellaneous tweaks that make nations like EA Rlyeh less retarded. I think it's actually a bunch of mods from different authors.
>>2133562shamen
>>2128974>There hasn't been a good dominions thread in a while.There hasn't been a good dominions game in a while. Wake me up when the next $45 rehash introduces something new.
>>2133730Idiot.
>>2128974visit /domg/ on /vg/
>>2131534It's pretty neat.>Imagine being the one unlucky bastard who runs into a goblin spy and discovers she's there to genuinely assassinate him rather than "neutralize" him
How do I script mages to be useful?If I leave them on cast, they have a tendency to just repeatedly cast self buffs on themselves, some of which aren't even applicable to the current fight. If I set them to advance while casting, they go straight into melee range to cast touch spells when they don't have to or will still prioritize buffing over blasting, (once again) even if the buffs aren't really useful for the current fight.
>>2137373You give them specific spells to cast, otherwise they will act like morons. As for what, it depends.
>>2137373Select their spells pre-battle. Each battle, for there is no universal preset. You might be also realising this series runs on accepting inefficiencies and just rolling with the fact it's all an exercise in cat herding.If it's not fun for you - don't play, for this is the core element of the gameplay
>>2132577>>2133562At this point do we need MORE nations? If anything Illwinter ought to cut the roster by 50% and flesh out the remaining ones more.
>>2138477>>2137459It makes a lot more sense now that I have finished a match. Stats like precision would have no reason to exist if mages would just naturally stand at an effective range, and things like cavalry/fliers smashing up a backline would be far less impactful if mages would switch gears and make appropriate decisions offscript.
>>2128974>Sloth AND Chaos power on 70% of their units? That might be a little too—Jesus. Please spring for bikini armor armor instead of nipple rings. Shit, upgrade to nipples caps or metal pasties at least; You have like 7 HP.
>>2136032I'd just kill myself right there
>>2129215Are goblin girls really prolific enough that all female and breeding crazed interspecies rapists are a generic stereotype now, especially when the series already has Japanese goblins?
>>2132577>see assassin tag on troops in Iram>get excited and join MP game with them just for that>it's just flavor and mechanically does nothing
>>2128974Link? Where do you find these mods? Its not on nexus, not on workshop, not on loverslab
>>2158458nvm, found it on the workshop but can anyone share a non steam link? Dom 6 is too expensive for what it is
>>2158470https://files.catbox.moe/n5xibn.7z
>>2158696Also, dom6 is currently on sale for $30.
>>2128974>Freespawn on your researchers while you research.>Super spies that can sex up enemy commanders.>Reasonably good sacred units.Jesus christ.Jesus Christ how horrifying.
>>2160155Everything but their sacred units gets fucked so hard by archers (and especially crossbows) that they should all be pregnant after they get routed. On one particularly funny instance, I had 200 subdued imps get routed by 40 indie archers and a handful of militia before they could even close the gap. It's especially hilarious because their own archers are actually pretty good and the faction has easy access to both ignite arrow and serpents fangs. But you can't risk using them alongside national troops because they'll drop them like flies with any amount of friendly fire.Infantry? No problem. Heavy cav? Eat halberd. Skelespam? You have h3s and cheap chaff out the ass. Archers/Crossbowmen? Hope you can cast Air Shield. Aoe spells? If you don't have the resists, it's GG.
>>2160200Yeah, I have had good luck putting the freespawn on the flanks slightly behind the cheep spear sacred girls in a line in the middle soaking up arrows.Plus you absolutely spam out the slut mages for that insane research and freespawn production so you have a TON of casters for your high level magic.One issue is that doing this is quite expensive and your buildings are very expensive so you have trouble building new forts and temples.I have had great luck getting waterbreathing on my blessing since the spearwoman sacreds utterly spank most independent sea defenders. So you can expand down there near uncontested in some situations. It's a fun faction and I can see them being utter hell to play against unless you know their weakness.They are dogshit at taking forts without a ton of mages too.
>>2160205Yeah, I agree that their economic situation can get pretty stressful and that they struggle hard at doing anything in sieges without sorceress and dryad support, especially since it's a faction that can't upgrade their forts and one that benefits massively from spreading its dominion. After a while, I just gave up on building forts and started zerg rushing other nations since taking massive losses is more economical than trying to build pallisades with them. If I get a chance to play them in MP, I'd probably take Gobla as my tendy and obnoxiously rush down as much as I can before people can get counters online and the research advantage starts to level out.
>>2160210>*I'd probably take hellbless Gobla
I suppose focusing on evocation and having Gobla target enemy archers might be a pretty potent move. Might be awkward in some battles. I am pretty sure that having your Gobbo god awake is the play since while you will have a lot of them, they are not very high tier mages. So you need a platform for your nice spells.

new update just dropped with a new LA chud faction
>>2164467Isn't LA already the chud age?What would one more change? Its not like we are not tossing entire civilizations to blood and trying to bring in horrors.
>>2164614I means chud as in the Dom lore chuds which those finno-russian hyperborean gigachad
Dominions tourist here.Is YS still lame?Why isn't a blood magic slutty princess demon nation?It would fit the real legends about Ys.Late age corrupted Ys when?
>>2165041>Why isn't a blood magic slutty princess demon nation?be the blood magic slutty princess demon nation you want to see.
>>2165041Because it knows it will always play second potato to the desert magic slutty queen genie nation.
