Waifu Edition
Previous Pantokrator >>143589250
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.

Do your turns. I have business to attend to.
>>144019776
That's a whole lot of investment to do very little and die to patrollers.
Third for ichtyids.
>>144019776
Literally worse than a 'puchi
AND THEY SAID I COULDN'T FIGHT ERMOR HALF THE WORLD AWAY.
>>144022407
Honestly, 25 sacreds is huge too. It's, like, what 250 gems?
>>144023914
Each wolf is 2 gems worth
>>144024096
Oh, 50 gems. I guess that's bearable, especially with mother oak and shit.
>>144023914
40 gems of wolves, the joke is that I have more indirect mage support via summons.
What's the Ambassador Mage?
Also, it's honestly pretty cool that you have a son of fenrir leading a giant pack of wolves to sneak through enemy territory and devour an army
>>144025050
It was a hero, and they actually missed their target last turn so had to not use super wolf teleport sneak.
>>144022407
To be fair, that is a trash army. Even with incredible research, he's not beating shit with 120 troops, of which only half are mediocre, and nine good mages.
>>144025050
multihero
>>144027751
Ermor's research has pretty much ground to a halt since he got invaded, and he has been overtaken by a few nations, including Nief.
And so the slow descent into annihilation begins.
>>144022407
>still using rorarus
will he ever learn?
I'd like to buy two Fire Brands, and I'd like to receive them next turn if possible. 10F/10E or 20E each I'm willing to pay.
>>144030321
You're willing to pay double price? You must need those brands really badly.
>>144030321
>>144030684
emergency thug gear, and against someone who has CR. You can do the math yourselves
>>144030321
I can forge them this turn and send them the next...
>>144030793
>against someone who has CR
Yeah, zombies and skellies. I'd much rather use thugs to take back my provinces than send a few armies to play whack-a-mole.
>>144030802
I may accept that offer, do you mind if I wait 6 hours to see if anyone can get me them sooner?
>>144031247
I don't mind at all. I can make up to 20. When you are ready, come to chat an announce yourself.
Is it just me, or are the Wu Tang horribly underpowered? It's a good while before I can actually war with anyone even with this ridiculous nine province bullshit (which I'm fairly salty about because Empire's one big strength is quick expansion against indies), but still.
>>144030321
Man, looks like someone really does have a bone to pick.
>>144033778
cracker empires need to back off before they get Mike Dropped on
>>144034026

>>144034904
That lad is going to need a lot of reinvig gear even if he's JUST spamming out 4 t-strikes a turn.
That or some bitch boy com slaves
>>144034757
Oh dang, I didn't check out their heroes.
Hopefully Wu Tang got him some luck scales. Or, uh, not hopefully, I guess.
>>144035042
Don't extra paths really help with fatigue? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought each level above the required level for a spell halved the fatigue cost, so with two boosters up to A8, shouldn't he be casting at 1/2^5 the fatigue?
>>144035408
Yes, he's just retarded. It's basically - storm - storm power - wrathful skies - fag warriors in a single turn
>>144035408
Yeah, with two boosters it's not bad, but at that point you're spending 50 air gems on fatigue reduction. That's a full air queen.
T-strike has a fairly high base fatigue cost and stuff like Fog Warriors is even higher, so without boosters he'll get exhausted quickly.
>>144035273
Well, I at least got my hero first turn. And no, that would be telling
>>144035610
>>144035543
To be clear, I'm not saying that he isn't absolutely broken, and that particular spell queue is probably fight-winning, but after he casts that he's finished for the fight.
He's actually sacred, so it would be cool to see E8-9 on him.
>>144035610 As >>144035543 pointed out, I forgot about storm power, so it's only 20 gems to cast fatigue 2(!) T-strike four times a turn (assuming the hero has a head slot). You can make that fatigue neutral pretty easily.
>>144035913
>precision 15
DEVASTATING
DEEP
STRIKES
>>144035914
Fatigue reduction doesn't work that way. He pays 8 or 9 fatigue per t-strike, which is still amazing, but not fatigue-neutral amazing.
>>144035408
>>144035914
That's wrong. The fatigue is decreased to 1/(extra levels +1). So A8 would be casting thunderstrike for roughly 1/6 fatigue, which is about 7 fatigue per thunderstrike. Add 3 encumbrance and he's taking 10 fatigue per cast, or 40 per turn.
>>144035913
God, looking at the Wu Tang's heroes, they're all amazing. Even Kanye, though only for sticking in a lab and making shit with.
All the others get 1 or 3! bonus spells.
>>144035913
>>144036575
So basically they're complete trash, except for their heroes, which are unreasonably good SCs?
>>144036391
Oops, that was for A9. A8 would be 1/5 fatigue, which is 10 without encumbrance.
>>144036721
Nobody knows. Shaolin Shadowboxers look like good sacreds.
>>144036941
>>144036575
>>144035913

>>144036941
under normal circumstances they would be, but everyone and their fucking mother is packing some type of magical weaponry 'round these here parts.
Those Doom rocket launchers look just silly.
>>144037501
enjoy this incomplete pretender prophet list
>>144037901
I ALREADY READ THAT SHIT, IT PAINS ME TO HAVE TO PROPHETISE A H3 TO GET THE H4 NEEDED TO AWAKEN MYSELF, SO NONE YET HAVE BASKED IN THE GLORY OF MY PRETENDERS NAME.
>>144038087
WAIT I'M RETARDED IT SEEMS TO BE H3.
>>144037860
What nations don't have magic weapon troops of some sort?
>>144038467
The Math nerds only magic weapon troops have MR (hard to resist) negates, so there's that.
Both of the Dorf nations have good magic weapons on their sacreds.
The Empire has Lightsabers on their sacreds.
The Dreki lack magic weapons until their dragons hatch.
MA Azo has magic weapons that horror mark besides.
Doom has Banefire Bolts, Lightning strikes, and Fireballs. All with 1 Res cost, yikes.
Ulmreich lacks magic weapons until summons.
>>144039268
Don't forget:
Azothia can recruit 10 mindblasters per turn in its cap (and definitely will with those 999 starting provinces).
Hitlerreich can make cap-only artillery that just DESTROYS shit on the other side of the map with a single shot.
>>144040102
Also, artillery has a free 1-province fires from afar spell of sorts, but with its base damage.
>>144040221
The Artillery really isn't as impressive as you make it out to be, given it's cost. The V2 Rockets, otoh, look pretty pants shittingly terrifying. Free Flames from the Sky is no fun.
New game idea: cataclysm game BUT one player plays MA Ermor, and everyone tries to kill him.
>>144040557
The best thing to do with the V2 rocket sites is to spend the 50 nature gems to empower them, then get them to cast transformation. Even if they lose all magic paths (oh how we shall miss ye N1), they still have the missiles but can now move.
>>144040810
Only if some1 makes a mod where only Ermor starts with 9 provinces, to make it more like a spontaneous uprising vs an evil empire.
>>144041065
We can just make a mod where Ermor gets 9 big skellington stacks for expansion, or some flying shit to expand quickly that dies after the first battle or something.
>>144041065
Actually, I could mod it so Ermor starts with ALL THE provinces asside from other people's caps and successful turn 1 blind expansions.
>>144041237
>>144041212
FUCKING FUND IT
I'll playrainbowErmor.
>>144041347
Done, took my pc 15 minutes to process the resulting turn, but it resulted in ever province save the AI Abysia's cap and tthe province they blind expanded to being ERMOR.

I can roleplay Ermor. Come on, make it happen.
>>144044761
Coolstory, just copy the code into a .dm file and upload it yourself.
>>144044706
With Ermorian dominion, it'll be pretty damn difficult to get siege forces that can fuck over Empires in time with everyone else harassing them. It can work. Let's try it.
Fine, V2.

Test your mettle in this unprecedented co-op experience! Try to defeat the ultimate menace of the world of Dominions while also competing with others for the title of Pantokrator! Play with your friends, or let them be screwed hard by Ermor! Experience the defining post-apocalyptic game experience! Role-play as your favourite MA nation! Prove Pan right or wrong once and for all!
Rules:
Ermor can't capture thrones or capitals, so it's here just for "FUN"no 100 PD near your cap either, scout's honor.
To win you must kill Ermor and capture thrones. When Ermor is dead, the game becomes your usual MP game.
This mod was only tested twice, so expect even more F U N.F U N
>>144049537
Awake Pretenders AT THE READY!
>>144049537
Mari incoming
>>144049537
Also, increased a number of starting provinces to 5. Take some safe dominion levels, otherwise FUN might happen earlier than you want due to random candles.
>>144050920
Temple checks are not based on province count. Ermor can choose to not spam temples, thereby making dom kill unlikely.
>>144051223
Oh, alright then.
Also, what's the name of the mod that makes arena battles happen once every year? That would add more FUN.
EL GRAN FUEGO is in.
>>144051223
I'm in favor of Ermor's commitment to RP, but why would Ermor ever not build temples? They want to free their brethren from their prisons of flesh; with their god's dominion that wish can be a reality!
>>144051703
I can take dom 5, and it will not cause that much trouble. Some provinces are definitely going to die though.
>>144051856
This reeks of attacking a province with 50 PD, without any serious chaff.
>>144052269
the answer is simpler then that. Think about cross paths
>>144049537
Why would anyone ever want to join this game. The Ermor player can just swat down everyone's armies and everyone else is just going to sit around like helpless babbies
>>144052767
Because I'm not going to do that?
Don't you love adventure?
Don't you love FUN?

>>144049537
You are very cool for doing this, but I thought we were gonna do cataclysm.
>>144054424
Huh, we can do cataclysm if you want. I just need to mod Ermor into it. Will be even more super broken. I'm also changing #newdom values to something milder, as if it remains as it is, it kills the world in 10 turns.
>>144051856
Someone didn't armor their beautiful queen
>>144055001
Nah I forgot to remove the retreat order in a siege battle.
>>144054598
I think cataclysm would bring out the "throw everything and anything at the undead apocalypse" atmosphere, but if other people want to play normal, MA nations against #OPErmorPlsNerf I'd join that game too.
When I phrase it like that, it makes me think, "Ya, just what I want to do with MA nations, fight against Ermor yet again." So maybe that's the thing: playing versus the best nation in the game in the worst age is what truly makes fighting Ermor suck. How about a modified one age game, with all non-redundant EA and MA nations? Isn't that what heralded the end of the EA anyway, Ermor's destruction? So wouldn't Lanka, EA Xibalba, Helheim and such nations still be around to fight before Ermor unshers in the MA? Imagine a scenario not unlike the very fall of Ermor!
>>144055636

http://www.strawpoll.me/10366226
Time to decide the very fate of this world.
>>144056074
This is literally the hardest choice of my life. Someone have an opinion so I can bandwagon it.
The other option I outline in >>144055636 is not just one age, it's more like EA+MA and if a nation is in both, only one may be played. So I guess I'll cast my vote for option four.

>>144049537
It's going to be really, really hard for the Ermor player to lose with gem income from visible sites and almost all of the map.
What is your favorite mod nation and why?
>>144081559
I don't know about favourite but the Iram/Juhera nations in the awful nations modpack actually looked rather good. The only thing preventing it from being really cool is the lack of F/A crosspath spells.
>>144049537
So wait, this mod starts with Ermor owning literally everything except the players' starting lands?
So basically, Ermor builds a shitload of temples with his insane gold income and domkills everyone in 10 turns?
>>144081559
Ledan, from Omniomicon.
I mainly like it because the sprites are amazing, but the way it does ranged troops is interesting too. Their only ranged weapons are javelins, but their javelin troops have significant improvements to precision and damage, on top of dealing fatigue damage on hit. It makes them surprisingly lethal, though I'm not sure how it'd hold up in a larger battle.
I'd like to see their troops get a buff, though. Their units all have coldpower and terrible base stats outside the water, leaving them barely acceptable in cold3. It basically feels like you need to spread your dominion to any land province you want to take.
>>144082770
Basically, this is an RP game. Ermor won't win only because he's not playing to win but to present an antagonist for the other players to defeat.
>>144083619
Eh.
Maybe I'll join later as Asphodel or something.
>>144083619
I don't really see the point when Ermor can arbitrarily crush anyone without even trying.
Even if he doesn't play to win and doesn't accidentally win by domkilling everyone, he's the only one who's going to be able to decide who does win.

>>144091473

#setland 75
#owner 34
#temple
#knownfeature "Graveyard of the Damned"
#commander "Spectator"
#units 27 "Longdead Principe"
#commander "Ermorian Cultist"
Now MA Ermor starts with 3 extra mages, 3 extra priests, 80 troops, extra D sites, and a fort, a lab, and a temple scattered across the map.
What's a better idea for my thematic Mari in the ErmorOP game - keeping my current awake Angelfu with 5f, 4a and some good scales, or imprisoning her for fire weapons and better scales and trying to actually use Paladins like some kind of idiot?

Ermor started out as a regular player in that game and WAS playing to make the skelepocalypse. Ermor in this game starts out ruling the world and is not going to actually kill any players. I still think it's a shitty idea, just because Ermor is going to be able to kill anyone's armies at any point and it'll just come down to who he doesn't feel like squashing long enough.
I am in the chat for whoever needs me, sorry I have not been around and/or have been ignoring people.
>>144115802
Come on, m8, any good DM adjusts challenge rating of his encounters to fit players' level. I'll just make some thematic fights, like barbarian raids, nazguls, or some underused monsters like tarasque, and see how they fair against conventional strategies. I'm not even planning to win (unless people go full retard or go AI en masse).
>>144116212
I don't think that you have bad intentions at all, actually. I just don't think that the players in your game will really have any agency.
Thoughts on MA Oceania?
>>144119830
No UW virgins.
>>144119830
No.
>>144116212
I think a far better way of doing it would be to set up a scenario such that Ermor controls 30% of the map, the other nations cover 50% of the map between them, and the remaining 20% is indie buffer zones. All nations should, assuming sane expansion, wind up bordering Ermor. That way Ermor is a fightable opponent and likely to (eventually) lose but can go all-out instead of trying to cripple themselves just right. .
>>144120442
Even just giving ermor 3 or 4 extra starting forts (with or without temple, lab, 10-20 troops, or a Spectator) will make them a major power from the free infrastructure and the subsequent effect on expansion.
Probably want to include a turn1 event to give those forts full Ermor dominion, too.
>>144120163
What could be done to improve it, then? More magic paths? Make Sirens A1W2 underwater and A2W1 on land? More E on Capricorns? Increasing the frequency of additional randoms from 10% to 50 or 100%?
>>144121706
>>144116212
Scenario map is definitely the way to go, not a weird event mod. You could even supercharge Ermor's expansion with just a couple free armies of 80+ Longdead Principes under some Censors.
Or could you use #req_unique 30 to limit the event to only occur on a thirty random provs instead of the whole map? Or would it automatically hit provs 1-30 in order, which would probably screw one or two players harder than the others?
>>144121778
Giving them an identity besides being bad underwater Pangaea would be preferable. A2W1 Sirens on land would be a start if they had the means to cast Storm for some Thunder Strike action, but I don't know of a thematic way to implement this. Some sort of Siren Queen, maybe?
Letting them catch up a bit on Pangaea's strengths would be a band-aid fix. For starters, they're paying 55g more for a far inferior big mage: 2/3 of their randoms are worthless for fuck's sake, never mind Earth being superior to Water (especially considering Pan has super-buffable Reveler while Oceania doesn't benefit nearly as much from their access to N buffs due to their weaker troops).
>chilling out minding your own business researching burden of time
>suddenly this holy doomstack of righteous fire slaps your girlfriend's skeletal ass
WHAT DO YOU DO, /DOMG/?
>>144124938
And let me clarify: You could try to buff Oceania by making Capricorns more like Panii or giving them UW Reveler or something and that would accomplish the goal, but besides getting rid of stupidity like worthless randoms on Capricorn (for example, you could just give them the W1 random for total of W3N4), I think that's a bad way to approach balance since Oceania desperately needs a stronger identity of their own rather than being more like Pan. Changes like giving them improved air access on land would be preferable.
>>144124938
I think that increasing their random to 100% while keeping their price the same would make Capricorns great mages. In addition to having up to E3 on land for earthquakes and A1E2 for RoS (with boots in summod), you would also have the occasional A2 capricorn for cloud trapeze thugging or mobile mage support and even N5 capricorns if you ever felt that N4 base just wasn't enough.
>>144125354
They do seem pretty well-protected from fliers or arrows or other such threats but that kind of mage blobs always make me a bit afraid. What if one of the mages has the bright idea of casting Phoenix Pyre and and a maximum range deviation arrow hits him, for example? I always feel a bit nervous with that kind of positioning.

If the admin is willing to give an extension so I can get my shit together and figure out what the fuck the nation does and how to expand, I'd happily sub. Shitty balance, meme nations, and dragons sounds like a recipe for a grand old time.
No clue how much of an extension I'd need since I have no clue how long is left.

Make them into an A powerhouse coming up from under the waves.
A2w1 Sirens
Capticorns with a2n4. Set up the randoms so they have a reasonable chance at a4.
Haliade get a 100%wn random since Capricorns no longer have big W.
Aphroi Heirophants (and Lord?) get A1
Mermidons & someone with a javelin or harpoon on coasts.
Probably a coastal archer too, to benefit from Wind Guide?
I guess we need to see what UW elves get before we decide for sure.
>>144135535
Javelins, desu. They're spear toters
>>144135535

>>144119830
In the context of summod, or generally?
How do we make Cavalry, especially light cavalry, actually useful?
My suggestion: Make arrows/ a separate type of damage from spears, and give most heavy cav resistance to ranged piercing alone. Instantly, they go from '40-70 gold investment in something that I will almost inevitably kill with archery and evo' to 'actually able to decimate rear flanks reliably with proper planning'.
>>144136879
Good luck scripting this shit.
>>144136879
Cavalry isn't going to be useful until battles are more than 50 feet across.
>>144136701
What does summod do to them?
![1464820694500[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/N8MCtBI.png "1464820694500[1].png")
This actualy fits with Dominions lore.
Dai oni = niggers.
>>144136879
Okay, as that is nowhere near DIRECTLY possible with modding, let's have a look at what we can do.
We can, by reducing their prot value by 9 (okay some cav don't have 9 prot) and adding it as an arbitarily high parry shield, due to how shield-hits work that should ONLY stop short-bows and slings. However, if they already have a shield it'll mess up slightly,

I'd like to see them hit a lot harder in melee. If you want to effectively flank someone your flankers need to be able to kill things quickly, before your enemy wins the fight. Right now cavalry can't do that. After their charge is used up, their offense is pretty shit, and they don't take buffs well either.
If you buffed their offense they'd also fill a niche which human nations desperately need filled - powerful melee troops for lategame.
A change I'd like to see but can't mod is additional mobility on the strategic map. If armies with sufficient movement points could attack non-adjacent enemy provinces (like flying, but without being able to move through enemy provinces) the extra strategic movement on cavalry could let them be used in raiding parties.

>Their charge is fairly lackluster too.
I dunno about that, 20+ piercing damage is scary. Usually stuff with lances will mulch the first troops they meet, then the kill rate slows down significantly.
>>144146897
>hungry hippos
That part makes sense, even if the rest doesn't.
Hinnom has pretty big upkeep (and popeating) problems, and Hungry Hungry Hebrews is a pretender name I've seen at least twice.

A lapse on turn two means you're worthless and don't deserve to play.
Hello there! I'm pretty new to the game with 40 hours of play against IA exclusively, and I have lots of troubles understanding texts and advices from the community because of the jargon and abbreviations. So I have a few questions (maybe more later).
- What is the real name of the "domspreader" pretender ability? I found this term on several different websites, but obviously it's not its real name. On which pretender chassis can I find this ability?
- What does "SC" mean?
I want to git gud, please help me!
Thank you already for your answers!
>>144157486
"domspreader" means it increases the kinkiness of units in the same province. Technically it does this somewhat indirectly by only influencing the generation of doms who then go on to capture/recruit their own subs but the overall effect is an overall higher amount of BDSM units available to you.
"SC" stands for Supreme Commander, and generally better and more well-liked strategy game.
>>144157486
Dominion spreader, works like a temple in that it spreads your dominion, same as preaching.
SC stands for Supercombatant or Supercaster. Very powerful single units that can take on armies alone and win, kitted with lots of gems and buffs.

>>144157486
>What is the real name of the "domspreader" pretender ability?
It sounds like they're referring to how your pretender passively spreads dominion. Every pretender has that, it's not specific to the chassis.
>- What does "SC" mean?
Heavily kitted out commander, able to take on an enemy army with mage support and win.

Heh... not bad, pretender. Not bad at all. Your dogma, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty inspiring can tell it's got some dominion behind it... lots of quotable material...
But proselytizing isn't all nectar and ambrosia, pretender. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Pantorkator? To join those holy halls? To call yourself a member of the True Divinity? Religion takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The era-class Gods - I mean the great ones, like Forester Bob and Ermor Left Alone - they're out there day and night, burning the witching incense, working tirelessly to craft that next revelation.
And you know what, Pantorkator? 99 times out of a hundred, that new scripture fails. Someone dismisses it as nonsense or says it's "heretical," or ignores it as they regurgitate the latest mad babblings dreamt up by those sorry excuses for gods over in Tartarus. The Ascension Wars are unforgiving, pretender, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a wretched path, and for every work of scripture you pen in your temples, some fiend in the Hells has a effigy of a phallus or some stone carving that an innumerable number of shamans will attach a milion different intreperations to. Rejoice, pretender. Do not despair. You have influence. You have power. You just need to show your purpose.

That would be my guess from the appearance, but C'tis doesn't have blood magic so it would be odd.
