LIZARD IN ERMOR edition
Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy 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 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 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 strategy game.

First for Ermor reintroduced death to burds.
First for the wiki always needs new pages.
http://dom4.wikia.com/wiki/Dominions_4_Wiki
Third for armor of virtue
Is Magma Eruption a good battlefield spell or is there some other evocation which is better like falling fires?
>>121156245
Fukken stop using lame forced memes to justify posting your goddamn furry porn to /domg/, go post that shit in your fucking furry yiff whatever threads.
I'm here to look at wholesome giant jewish penises, none of this fucking furry bullshit.
>>121156964
Magma Eruption is fantastic, but like all things:It depends
>>121156245
You should stop creating threads with shitty images. Just so you know.
Eunuchs I've got good news
Your cap was actually an amazon recruit site and give access to new magical paths.
Of course you could never get those, even if you took back you cap, but I wanted to let you know. Also, why do you have no lab there?
Sceleria, was that a bump or is there going to be hot ghostbird on skelly action?
>>121156964
It's not elemental damage, but it can get blocked by heavy armor. Good thing there's an earth spell that removes armor
>>121157825
A question: do you have access to Pythium's territory?
>>121157825
A Bump. Sent you a message about it.
>>121158530
Dispel when?
>>121158530
cool, keep that province. Also if you still want water gems I can sell you some.
>>121158095
kinda sorta. The lands they taking oceania's lands that are close to or on my border.
I've got two conquests to finish off right now, but I am very much aware of the threat, and oceania and I have been talking about the situation.
>>121158635
None of your business, considering you are almost definitely not one of the two (!) people who tried to donate.
But this turn.
Took a screenshot for proof if the dispel fails.
>>121158095
Birds can fly.
But yes they are bordering them, as am I now.
>>121159197
Coolio. Used all my gems in the dispel, so can't really trade for a minute. Thanks for donations, you've been a pretty bro-tier neighbor.
>>121157825
>dedburds
does that mean nazca? i'm a newbie and want to know how to get into nazca, but there is no guide about them.
d-do you have some nice advice?
China - keeping elves at bay since 1942
>>121159561
Take d9, dump sloth and cold, take full money scales is the gist of it i've been told. But it would be pretty cool if TornVale DedBurds/pythium/agartha/etc would do a write up after the whole thing plays out, kinda curious myself.
ALso, does apostasy work on shrouded units? They're technically sacred, aren't they?
>>121159197
>oceania
I have the information that he stopped his initial "actions". Can you confirm this?
>>121159561
it means nazca. I'm a sub, so I'm learning as I go.
Some advice. They are rather slow to start up, they have a lot of power in the mid late game, but you have several things slowing you down in the early game as you want to get you Supaya factory started.
Your supayas are good, but not insane, so supporting them will be a big things.
O3C3G3 is a must, and you want at least 1 high bless, and probably can't afford a true dualbless with the scales you need.
One small thing, Do not profit either of your two starting commanders, get a flying commander and prophet him, if/when he dies he becomes a H3 mummy, so he can call supaya, and at 0 upkeep.
while you want to get a supaya factory started, don't delay forts ect too much, buy coyas and inca, after you get 6 ish Royal mummies you should only buy more when don't need to buy an important structure. (my opinion here).
I've found that your starting research kinda sucks, as your royal mummies take most of your gold and cap turns and aren't researching, you need to use a fair number of your priests to move your supayas, and your main labrats are decent but not great. Again, slow start.
I see that at least some players are online. Good.
NOW BUY MY BLOOD SLAVES.
Seriously, I'm offering you 5 per turn for a meagre 2 gems. Just a reminder: blood magic is unaffected by Arcane Nexus.
>>121159793
My good friend, have you thought about my request for those items I require?
>>121159951
not sure what you mean, my scouts and reports seem to indicate the pitched battles have become less of a thing, but there borders are still shaped like they are at war and golems and armies are positioned agressively.
>>121159906
d9 is good, but i've tried them f9 and that works too.
People hate on F9 a bit, but D9 on supayas means all of their damage is MR negates, which was a thing when I tried to kill the Eunuchs pretender.
>dump sloth
testing found that S2 worked good, but hits your already weak expansion. I'd worry about S3.
You could probably afford the misfortune 1 with your good order and growth.
>>121160469
oh, another thing that's just started coming up, but your national flying commanders all come back as mummies when killed and this is not limited to your dominion. Their upkeep goes up, you do get them back and all the holy ones can reanimate.
The biggest loss there is they aren't flying and the flying mobility advantage is huge.
Late game. well I'm just getting there and I'm still pretty new. That said, you've got kick ass diversity. But the slow research is a thing, if sceleria puts up the graphs you'll see the difference between my research position and my everything else.
And I've been max maging and forging lanterns and whatnot.
Oh, and this is important. the info on the Huaca Headress is wrong, it increases the number of Supayas/Huaca's by 2 now. which means it doubles the effectiveness of your royal mummies.
>>121160745
I'm interested now. can I use water gems to buy?
>>121161286
You'll see my response when you read your messages next turn!
>>121161468
You surely can. I would prefer S>D>E>A>W>F>N, of course, so if somebody offers me a better deal I'm going to indulge them.
>>121160745
Interested. Can do death gems.

Looking for a game? Got a few recruiting ATM sign up for one!
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=MapmakingIsHard - EA game
Experimental freshly made map with preset starts. No underwater nations allowed. Is half full no elf nations birds or bats have joined yet so if that's your thing sign up.
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=SmallFish
-MA game
Smaller game of less than 10 people. Currently features 3 water nations and 10 UW provinces.
none I am aware of.
-LA game
>>121161578
Alright, cool, if you need anything just let me know.
>>121161327
Here you go amigo, some research graphs.
>>121162018
Can you make them pearls? :^)I know you can't.
Okay then. I'm sending a revised turn to server and 15 slaves to you. Keep dem gems coming, the brass throne is going to be there for a while.

>>121162304
Post all graphs then.
I want to confirm my skeleton superiority.
>>121162136
I heard you were about to have fun? Too bad. You're about to have a very bad time.
>>121162304
I've got to head out for a bit, but just to explain that one a bit, I'm the tan color, and have been in the top 3 in terms of forts, provinces and income for a bit.
and again, max maging and other things, hence why I'm catching up a bit. Your mages aren't bad, you just have to be using them.
stalewarriors please stop staling
What's the good chassis for F9W9 Memeheim?
How much prot exactly do boots of stone add? Would they be good to add to an armor-less 8 prot SC if I want to slap a shroud on him as well?
>>121164016
rtfm
yes
Oh wow I might have a chance to actually win a game of Dominions. We've been playing for 5 IRL months and it's finally nearing the end with me in a dominant position. It's pretty much either me or Helheim. Hype.
>>121164313
rtfm?
>>121164313
This is not 100% fair since natural protection stacks weirdly with armor.
>>121164332
Hope you have some PLAN.
Is there a nation for fielding very small armies of spellcasters and priests? I want to crush entire armies with just magic.
>>121164520
I have a thousand plans but no idea what my enemy has in store. He was in a dominant position for much longer than me. We're talking 30k gold ahead of me. No idea what he did with all of that gold since his army size is like 300 while I'm over 1000. He has no research though. Just hitting his first 9 in year 7.
If two nations capture the thrones they needed to win on the same turn, WHO WINS?
>>121163078
almost had an MA game without Ermor way to ruin lives.
>Only 3 / 4 water nations on a map with 10 provinces
/domg/ you let me down
why aren't caster SCs used that much?
having a monster using evos and getting people rekt with magma eruption and phoenix pyre is more fun than le meme frost brand and just being unkillable
>>121165696
10 water* provinces
>>121164313
>>121164481
Oh, read the manual. Yeah, I did that already except for the spell list. Guess I should have read it, just thought the Inspector would have all the information.
A follow up question, what exactly does this
>Caster suffers 50% cold vulnerability.
mean exactly? If the unit I want to give the boots to has natural res to cold (15) does that mean 7.5 will be taken away?
>>121165783
That's often how elemental royalty are used - super tanky, two shields, and dropping niefel flames / flame storm / shimmering fields
>>121165783
Caster SCs usually spam Living X
But it's a lot easier to throw a bunch of resistance gear, a brand, vine shield, and bone armor onto a golem
>>121164863
9 research doesn't really matter that much save for a few spells. Having 7 to 8 across the board is more powerful
>>121165696
Shut up. Those who signed up are all great people. UW pride world wide.
>>121165696
>no Atlantis
>no Xibalba for more small fish
>>121164923
>anime-girl
I'm unreasonably bothered by this.
>>121166321
It isn't the 3 UW nations that signed up that are to blame. It is those that could have taken Atlantis and chose not to.
>>121166327
Me too. I am such an anime-nerd.
>>121166047
Problem is that golems have shit combat stats. Air and Fire elementals can punch through even 15 resistance and bone armor won't work on them since they're lifeless
>>121166327
She's that girl from my Japanese animes!
>>121166327
By the fact that he doesn't know who the anime girl is? Or that he posted an anime girl in the first place?
>>121166726
The first suggestion. Such kind of ignorance barely forgivable.
>>121166517
It's true that it's possible to beat golems with mages. All of the paths have answers. SCs can't really solo suitably supported armies, and the specific weakness of the SC build isn't really the question. However, a golem set in the back corner to huddle and tank forever will go to turn limit against an army that isn't scripted to answer it, which means that it can rout an otherwise large army on its own. That's one of the best things you can get an SC to do.
>>121166224
Well, I don't think he has that either. Llamaserver shows his research is at like 8000. It's not a 1:1 relation to RP as well as I know but IIRC that's not enough to hit multiple 8s.
>>121166726
It's the combination of the two. It's fine to be ignorant about a generally useless topic, but why bother advertising that fact?
Are golem SCs a meme? Golems look awful.
>>121167205
Your mum is looks awful and Golems are the brightest future of the human race. FUCK OFF.
>>121167205
they are ok but easily countered.
they can teleport, that's the big deal.
>>121162136
It's not preset starts, if UW nations and some locations barred.
So just in case some people have missed it, I'd like to reiterate that /domg/'s virtual divegrass team is renewing its roster for the fifth /vg/ league, which will be happening next month. The current roster can be seen in the accompanying picture, or viewed in detail at http://implyingrigged.info/wiki//domg/
We are currently looking for name suggestions for new players. The current list of suggestions is:
Have we checked on Ermor?
Underwater Archers/UW Archer PD
Poor Little Agartha

>stabbed by a methhead
BoT GET OUT REEEEEEE

Any further suggestions are welcome.
Why is this thread so dead nowadays? It used to have way more people. Did they all burn out?

Golems can't heal without lifedrain or N9 shroud. They tend to get fucked up by undead and elemental spam due to this
>when your capital is a swamp and you're not ctis
Does warriors of niefelheim/muspelheim give any effect other than the fire/cold resistance?
>>121169482
it removes cold from undead and warmth from abyssians respectively
>>121166014
that sounds fun, but what if they get locked in combat? can they cast those spells on melee combat?
Reminder of the PUREST and CUTEST couple in ALL of Dominions!
Gay lizards go away this thread is only for MONOGAMOUS CENTAURS and their CUTE GOAT GIRL WAIFUS
Okay, so true story -
Marignon, I did some tests last turn and I discovered that your army could, if scripted properly, kill mine. However, I was so confident that you weren't going to cast the right spells, that I stayed to fight. The gamble paid off.
GET
DUNKED
>>121170118
You could have killed all that with two winds of decay and a retreat
>>121170370
Sadly, that is incorrect.
Pictured here is Winds of Decay.
>>121170571
TWO winds of decay and a retreat order
not one
>fomoria again is one of the last guys to sent the turn
reeeeeeeeeeeeee :(
>>121170118
I am not even mad anymore. Just pure fun. Though, I am considering going AI because a lot of efforts and you always being a fucking nerd and testing everything so it's all masochistic fun.
Also I wanted to trigger your gemspent, but Forest Dome blocked my attempts. You was lucky again, and cowardly enough always being on deffence.
>>121171001
Who cares? Helheim is out of the country and is staling until he gets back.
Also, post the whole battle, don't be a pussy. Also show me items you got from me, I am curious.
>>121171623
Dude seriously thats fucking pathetic.
Hot to beat MA Ermor every time easily - the easy fucking guide for losers:
1. magic duel his elders and all other S mages,
2. soul slay his commanders,
3. laugh as the chaff dissipates without leadership
>>121171368
Like I mentioned, you actually won in some of my tests. Take from that what you will.
I also gave my army enough gems for 3 battles, since I was assuming that both you and Sceleria would teleport in. The forest dome did save me a bunch of valuable gems, though, for which I am thankful.
Also, of course I'm on the defensive - I'm fighting off two nations that should both be able to beat me on their own. The fact that I beat you here doesn't mean that I'm going to start invading you. The best I'll be able to do is retake the pass and block it off so that I can focus on Sceleria.
>>121171568
but since he is staling for sure admin was going to force hosts when only helheim is left
>>121171828
Don't learn me you fagget. Lictors are not mindless as well as ghouls, so they won't allow his commanders to die from Soul Slay.
That Ermor is invincible. He got all possible Enchanments and Alterations, shittone of tripleblessed sacreds and diverse mages.
IT'S TOO LATE ALREADY.
>>121157825
It was probably destroyed? I don't know, obviously I used to primarily to recruit cap only mages.
And uh, I didn't need those paths anyway you big meanie!
And I could have dispels five globals and I had a million pearls!
And I'm going to take your capital and use the Amazon recruit site there instead!
>>121171828
1. Phoenix pyre on communion slaves in the front. He'd need like 12 magic duel wins to start targeting my dusk elders, and the one that cast phoenix pyre is in the front, so he'd need another 3 before he can start killing them for real.
2. Soul slay prioritizes HP / MR, so it will hit censors and lictors before it hits mages and he'd need to kill literally all of them.
3. See 2. Even a single golem with a skull talisman is enough to prevent the undead from melting
>>121171623
>302 lictors
Holy cannoli the skeletons in your closet have been breeding like crazy!
>>121172358
To be fair, that's almost all of them. I've got another stack of around 150 holding the border against Agartha.
>>121172358
Pretty easy to get desu
>>121171623

>>121171979
That is your game, no need to be humble. I am really sick and tired from your careful play. Playing against you is not fun at all. How are you not tired from always winning? Are you born in a family of winners?
What a shame. Leave that game (dom4) for a nerds like me who can not even put efforts in anything. I am also Russian and our whoule country is doomed in a long run. And still, you are stealing my only refugee - winning some PBEM games. You are a horrible person.
This night a will think about either I need to proceed with the game or not...

Anyways. Whatever. Suck to be a slut like you.

Anyway an Admin can watch a game they're not participating in?
>>121181507
Add an inaccessible province with no connections and a custom faction with free Eyes of God type spell that only you can cast. There has been some RP games in the past with the GM being involved in the game in this manner.
>>121182002
ah, interesting, cheers.
>>121163605
there are four different nations ending in 'heim', three of which could benefit from that bless. Fuck off until you learn to communicate with real words.
Reminder that this is the single very best mage akin to Invoker from DotA 2
This past turn, Wuulholt alchemized all their gems to nature to overcast Astral Corruption with a pretender that they had designed for that purpose. However, we are using a spell-randomizer that makes AC a nature/fire spell costing 100 gems.
Astral corruption went live, and the 100+ nature gem cast attracted Agon, the Eater of Dreams, who promptly shat on Wuulholt's pretender.
Taking bets on AI.
>>121184231
>Old human with only three paths
Imperial Alchemist would be a better comparison to Invoker
>>121184298
Oh ho ho ho. I smiled.
So I am newer to this community, how do you handle diplomacy when everyone is anon? In game only?
>>121184298
Apparently AC works BACK IN TIME. Because he cast it and after he cast it horrors attacked the caster for the cast that happened before the spell started affecting the world.
>>121184837
Yes
>>121184298
I wish attack spells had more impact. Buffing masses of units just isn't very appealing. I want to blow things up.

Foul vapors vs blood vengeance, what happens?
>>121188540
Nothing
Shouldn't rely on it to kill anything if you don't have a great tarpit though
>>121189298
I have the best tarpit ever, just the tarpit dies eventually due to managing to eventually hit them and taking backlash, so plan B is needed.
>>121187210
Then you have shit real life luck m80. I'm averaging over 6-8 games and being overexaggerative. Luck and order scales don't matter, magic might but I don't fuck with drain.
>>121189746
Can you creeping doom or skelespam then? Bugs and skeles don't retreat
>>121190467
It's more like 50% of tarts are feeble minded. They aren't as reliable as they were in Dom3
>>121191263
That still sounds way higher than I've experienced. I'll do a full on testing later, unless anyone has done so already or knows for sure and cab point me to evidence?
>>121190467
>>121187210
In my experience roughly 30% of tarts aren't retarded, but once you are summoning 2-3 per turn it stops being an issue since you still need 20 nature gems per turn to turn them into commanders.
>>121173687
I honestly had thought that he was the dude who had won like a dozen games over the last two years with mostly astral nations until I realized that there's actually several Russian players that write similarly.
Don't know if sending your prophet into enemy dominion was the brightest idea, flaming arrows without any precision boosters seemed lackluster compared to the bladewind spam that ripped your archers to shreds.

Out of 16 tartarians, I got 2 sentient non-feebleminded, 2 sentient with multiple afflictions (both including mute), 6 non-sentient feebleminded or mute, and 4 non-sentient healthy (some had lost an arm or something, but were usable as mages after GoR), and 2 sentient and healthy.
>>121196049
Sorry, I listed the ones that were good to go out of the box twice. There were 2 sentient feebleminded* ones
>>121196049
>>121196230
This is anecdotal and over two different games with different scales, so it's definitely not rigorous
>>121196049
I did a test with debug senseis summoning 50 tarts.
5 were commanders, 45 were units.
Of the 5 commanders, 2 were feebleminded. Of the units, 29 were feebleminded and 16 were commanders.
This doesn't take into account dementia or muteness.
>>121197720
>16 were commanders
Sorry, meant non feebleminded
Is a regular vampire that I got from an event worth thugging out? Natural invulnerability, blunt/slash resist and regen seems nice.
>>121198768
Not really. I used mine as a scout.
>>121197720
Can you test with various scales?
Stalewarriors Sauro around?
>>121199894
I'm one of their neighbors.
You ain't plottin' against me, are you?
>>121199437
>Can you test with various scales?
They aren't effected by scales. You're thinking Hidden in X
In unrelated news, can i get a volunteer to turn a nerd ai?
>>121200347
Completely unrelated to the guy killing his own pretender with corruption?
>>121200347
Yeah, but I won't be home for another 3 hours. I'll hit you up on steam if you're still online.
>>121200616
Yeah.
Though if you want to sub for corruption guy, i dont think he wants to play anymore.
>>121200312
Hidden in X is terrain based.
>>121201759
It's also scales based, and says so explicitly
>>121165916
It means the spell description was copied from dom3. I assume -5 cold resist in dom3 gave 50% vulnerability, since that's the reduction in dom4.
Ah, how I wish crossbreeding was a viable strategy.
>>121204915
It works for converting blood slaves into siege power
Just a reminder SmallFish has started.

Can one or more of the aquatic nations please blog how the war for the seas goes? tia

Put it on Desura.

what are the best items to forge for making a SC?
>>121211879
Frost brand and vine shield.
What do I do? Can I stop this with PD? How much would it take?

Bow of botulf: Fire largest

If the neter dies, will the mindless things immediately rout/perish, or will I need to then retreat and come back?
>>121216605
depends if there are other commanders. There probably are though.
>>121217767
So, send a scout first? Okay.

RIP in Piss comrade
How do MR checks work for weapons with MR negates? Is it just the normal formula for magic, but with no spell path numbers added?
Do I bother with GoR on this guy if I already have earth mages? I mean, E3D2 just isn't that exciting.
>>121219629
Works exactly as a normal MR check, yep. If the MR check succeeds, they take no damage from the base attack (flaming weapon buffs can still deal damage).
>Implying EA R'lyeh is not best R'lyeh
Bitches love mind blasts
>>121222079
>EA R'lyeh
No.
>>121222079
Bitches can't go UW anon, so they will never taste your mind blasts
>>121222493
Bitches will drown themselves to get a taste.
>>121221598
They sound like nice SC paths, especially since it has native regen.
>>121216605
depends if there is anybody on the field with the right kind of leadership
>>121222462

I swear on me mum, Vanarus, you get out of my land or I will fuck you up.
http://dom4.wikia.com/wiki/Ulm_(Early_Ages)
Finished with EA Ulm. On the fence if I should keep the stuff that was already there. Let me know if anything is glaringly fucked up, or if anything needs to be added.
>>121172657
saved, thanks.
>>121226243
Ulm has bonkers diversity if your pretender has A4E4
E3 (Smith)->E4 (Earth Boots)->E5 (Staff of Elemental Mastery)->E6 (King of Elemental Earth+Staff)
W2 (Smith)->W3 (Water Bracelet)->W4 (Sea King+Bracelet)->W5 (Robe of the Sea)->W8 (Queen of Elemental Water+Bracelet+Robe+Staff)
F2 (Smith)->F3 (Staff of Elemental Mastery)->F4 (Flame Spirit+Staff)->F5 (Flame Helmet)->F7 (King of Elemental Fire+Staff+Helmet)
A4 (Pretender)->A5 (Winged Helmet)->A8 (Queen of Elemental Air+Helmet+Bag+Staff)
D2 (Shaman)->D3 (Skull Staff)->D4 (Mound Fiend+Skull Staff). An empower can send you up to D5 for liches all the way up to 7 but this is iffy.
Now in a normal game you will do maybe one of these things but having all of these different options open to you is really nice.
>>121218987
What are we going to do about bats? do you think someone could put up a perpetual storm?
>>121230387
Anyway to get higher than N4 (Lucky antler + thistle mace)? Can't seem to find one without trading for a moonvine bracelet.
>>121231179
I wouldn't even rely on a lucky antler since they are expensive, slow to recruit and overall not very good.
>>121231336
Having one or two is fine imo for battlefield buffs - mass protection / mass regen is fairly easy to access with strength of gaia
>>121231336
Meh, I tend to set them up on auto recruit in my cap when i can afford to since I can recruit everything else fucking everywhere else.
>>121231454
One for Mass Regen is legit if you didn't get lucky with the shamans, sure.
>>121231545
It's a huge waste of money. You could recruit two smiths for that price.
>>121231896
There's actually a lot of good nature magic, both midgame and endgame. I try to always have one with each major army and at least one backup in case things go wrong.
holy fuck dicks thats a tight ass map.

>>121233976
"no"
I mostly just mean I can see 2 people with provinces touching my cap ring and it's turn 6.
there's a third who's cap ring is 2 provinces from mine, and a fourth around 4 from me
I've found your problem.
>>121234089
How can you see all these things? Are you wizerd?
>>121234241
haxflying scouts
>>121234089
People expanded your way, deal with it. If you had no plan for earlygame bad touch, you will die, and learn better next time. Also, you're birds. Drown them in lances.
>>121234535
nigga my cap ring touches 2 other peoples cap rings. that is not "expanding my way"
>>121234687
Just think of it like this
'free forts'
>>121233926
>>121234687
Is that Pelywir, or whatchamacallit?
Don't call it a grave. It's the future you chose.
>>121234843
There's also one start location between 1 UW, and 2 swamp provinces and nothing else. Good luck with that. Especially if you get a throne near your capital.
Wow, erf snek works for everything. This would actually give EA Ulm almost everything it wants.
>>121235110
Cold 3 isn't a good idea with him
>>121235330
Ehhhhh, if you're just using him to expand, you can outrun in the first couple of turns.
Personally would go for
Dom6 o3p1c3g3magic1 imprisoned sage
a4e4s4n4. Breaks you nature in a huge way and can craft whatever boosters you need. Drop three scales and go dormant if you want.
>>121236187
o3 for EA which lacks of gold income in general is a shitty choise. Take o1 maximum.
I hate that faggot Sy
>>121236687
Why? I think he's a nice guy.
>>121236745
No, he's a fag
>>121236323
lolwut
EA nations need gold too?
>>121236745
No he isn't. He's a clingy, passive aggressive , anime memer who pretends to be a newbie
>>121236969
What did he do?
>>121237142
Did he siege your cap or something?
>>121237291
No, he's just annoying to talk to
>>121237142
I've played in a grand total of 5 PBEMs including ongoing games, so IDK where you get the idea that I'm pretending to be newer than I am.
I'm definitely an anime memer, though that's pretty endemic to 4chan.
>>121237338
You play too autustically for a newbie
>>121237427
What can I say. I try hard.
>>121237427
>autustically
>/domg/
Are you not?
Also, are there any games recruiting right now?
>>121235110
Elder Dwarf m8. Mad scales, mad items, mad everything.
>>121237589
I don't like to think too deeply in Dominions. Fighting autists forces me to spend more time than I want to on turns

Already joined that one. Any MA and LA games around?
>>121237708
>>121237859
You what? Not that guy but I spend 40 minutes on each turn starting from year 2.
>>121238207
If you want to do well against a equally skilled opponent, you have to do invest a lot of time in test games and hypothetical scenarios. At that point it just become hella boring
>>121238506
I think it's neat. Theorycrafting is like half the fun in dominions, and this is basically that except applied explicitly to your fights.
>>121238692
No, it's just a bunch of guessing
>>121238152
I'll admin another LA game when Fashionably Late is done
