Superior Ulm edition
Previous Pantokrator >>145811787
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.

Sorcerous Support
come back here you fools
I love old men casting spells
wake up already, euroneets
>>146260746
Pretty sure the problem is that most of us aren't NEET, ergo are doing stuff other than bumping /domg/
>>146261182
what the fuck couldbe more important?
>>146261248
University, jobs, etc.
Also, did you know dogs retract their eyes when resting as they don't have eyelids?
Post all the may mays
how do i play LA ctis?
>>146261537
Recruit Sauromancers and spam Banefire at things.
Summon Tomb Kings and reanimate either chariots (trample) or tomb wyrms (sacred and hard to kill).
B9 and/or N9 are good choices for tomb wyrms, if you want to take a bless.
>tfw you bloodhunt irl and get nothing
>>146262508
Have you empowered yourself in Blood first?
>>146262508
Were you fully prepared to capture the slaves? For example, the unit description mentions they are drugged, did you have any drugs with you? Maybe there is a hidden preparation roll involved that a novice like you is unlikely to get past.
Alternatively, have you tried constructing a sanguine dousing rod? Make a dousing rod and dip it in blood to make it sanguine, simple!
Off to a great start, I see
>>146263069
>Pangaea has staled literally every turn
What is the admin doing?
>>146263638
It is a mystery
Or more likely, he's in the game and can't be fucked to get someone to set them AI
>>146263069
Well, that explains why Pan has no expansion despite being me but better. Still I'd suggest subs for all of them, especially Arco as he owns a fair bit of stuff due to awake doggo expansion (RIP Doggo too much debts)
>>146263638
>>146263746
>>146263069
at this point wouldn't it be better to houserule " do not take pan capital"? this way no one gets the free advantage. turn 10 AI; hell even turn 1 AI is not going to do anything. it's free land and free capital for every neighbour, might as well forbid to take capital to make it fair.
>>146264231
The problem with that idea is that it's hard to enforce that rule if the admin isn't setting people AI in the first place.
>>146264231
AI dryad and white centaur spam is still fucking annoying.
>>146264328
it's easy to enforce: if Pan loses it means someone got his capital. if that happens you scout the idiot and you call that guy a huge fag and leave everyone leaves.
>>146264452
You want to make Pan's capital the win condition?
>>146264452
Can't we just get a masochist to sub in as Pan? I mean they don't border anyone yet and are a pretty strong MA nation.
>>146264231
Then anyone who neighbors him has to deal with the AI being dumb and attacking them.
There's not really a good solution at this point. If he'd caught it turn 2 he could have found a sub (or restarted).
>>146263064
>Alternatively, have you tried constructing a sanguine dousing rod? Make a dousing rod and dip it in blood to make it sanguine, simple!
Dowsing rods do nothing if you aren't already empowered in blood.
Besides he'd need five people worth of virgin blood, not just a dip
>>146264610
there is no redeeming factor in subbing a nation that staled 10 turns from turn 1.
other nations are litterally producing 4 times more gold and production than Pan is;
no turn played means nothing recruited, just 4000 gold and something like 100 resource bottlenecking him.
if someone sub him now by turn 16 he is going to have maybe 6 provinces and about to build a shitty fort, when suddenly his neighbours will have expanded in all the other provinces, with triple the gpt and 2 forts finished and some levels of research too.
taking his lands would be only slightly harder than conquering them if they still had indipendents.
>>146265209
Hey buddy, bullying is bad
You're in the wrong place.
>>146265209
Hence Masochist.
>Immediately sets Arco AI, without even looking for a sub
>>146268256
Ayo what the fuck
And why wouldn't Pan be set AI if arco was?
>>146261846
why not both

>>146269125
You're making it sound as if non-anonymous games were much better in that regard. That's not true at all, buddy.
>>146269113
I thought I was somewhere which people PLAY games, but apparently not.
>>146269125
20ish provinces by turn 9 isn't "Everything is shit", what godly expansion would they need to be happy? Also, look at NoMemes and NoStalers for non-anonymous clusterfucks of leaving/Aiing/stalers.
>>146269125
What's weird is that the arco in this game had a good expansion, but apparently he got spooked by Asphodel which is basically worse Pangaea until they get all the anti-living stuff online. And even then, it's not like getting rushed by tribless vanheim.
>>146268425

>>146272580
How do you guys actual Lee micromanage MA Ermor? As in, do you draft layouts for chaff movement and reanimation centers? Do you summon commanders/gather the mound kings to special pools of idle commanders to be used when necessary? My brain starts to short circuit even at hundred provinces.

Arcane tricks
Jomon and I just had a battle with lots of mages and 200+ infantry each. I'll post screens to keep /domg/ from dying again.
Place bets, who came out on top here?
>>146278241
>who came out on top here?
Lemuria did.
>>146278241
On the right side we have this glorious detachment of Man Tower Guard supported by longbowmen and several magister arcanes...
>>146278241
Jomon got pincushioned into oblivion, probably.
>>146278241
Jomon win, because you're salty and got obliterated and now hope for someone to save your ass from Jomon
>>146278382
And on the left we have these disgusting savages from the orient who fraternize with monsters and subhumans and probably also eat children.
>>146278336
Why you gotta rain on a fun situation like that?
>>146278439
If this image is anything to go off of that looks likely.
>>146278472
We'll see. Is that your final answer?
>>146278241
Hopefully Jomon won since you been conniving against me and T'ien Chi to attack each other for about 6 turns now
>>146278528
>We'll see. Is that your final answer?
Yes
>>146278528
Next stage in combat. Rough start for Jomon, a single thunder-strike routed their ugly ogre-things and now look how much damage each thunder-strike does to their samurai block.
>>146278553
Don't pin the scheming on me. I'm not the one who invaded a neighbor I was in diplomacy with. Tien'Chi told me that their stack of 190 units with mage support was for dealing with AI Ulm. Probably should have figured something was up then but the prospect of tasty Jomon forest-land was too good to give up.
>>146278751
You sure seem confident.
>>146278845
What's the bless?
>>146278845
OH SHIT! FLIER FLANK!
>>146278986
>What's the bless?
Jomon bless was re-invigoration, undying+10 and Death Weapons. No sacreds present for man.
>>146278241
I don't even border you, but PD up those 0PD provinces of yours, every time i walk a scout through I'm really tempted to capture both of them.
>>146279323
Points for trying but what would have been an effective plan against a weaker force gets absolutely crushed here after inflicting minor casualties against the Tower Guard. No commanders or mages lost yet.
>>146279435
Oh shit, didn't realize those. I imagine those must have been sitting there for a while. Thank you all so much for not capitalising on my carelessness. I really mean that, I'm impressed by the sportsmanship behind it. Utgard in particular could have had free expansion there.
>>146279602
Jomon's main force is closing the gap with summons taking the lead. Is a fierce melee engagement imminent? Can Jomon finally check Man's ranged advantage?
>>146262730
Bathing in the blood of 50 virgins gives you the ability to detect virgins with greater accuracy. Everyone knows this.
>>146279860
Jomon's summons have entered a melee with the forces of Man, but wait! Those aren't Tower Guards!
>>146278845
I wouldn't have attacked you if you weren't constantly bugging me to start a war with C'tis. Telling me you needed my help fighting him when you obviously had no intention actually fighting him was pretty transparent.
You can't really expect me to be your friend when every message you send me is some thinly veiled attempt to get me to open myself up to your backstabbing.
>>146280213
Can't you just post the battle log, please?
>>146280213
Back to this thing, the Jomon forces have been blocked from engaging the Man Tower Guard line by a phantasmal army. Aren't I clever? Maybe not since apparently all my neighbors think I need to be genocided for the greater good. Diplomacy is hard.
>>146280330
Hey, I wouldn't have backstabbed you if you went to war with C'tis. My motivation there was removing belligerent lizard hordes. I found their slaughter of Gath quite concerning. I was opening diplomacy with Gath then next thing I know I'm getting messages along the lines of 'sorry man, giants can't be your friends because lizards are about to kill us all. they aren't trustworthy. GG man.'
But if you think that the belligerent reign of The Great Deku Tree is the real threat here who am I to argue with Chinese wisdom? Nobody can pick a fight like the Chinese.

>>146280851
Sorry fishmen, I like the way I write too much. I'll give you the battle log within 5 minutes.
>>146280926
Just send some gunships and sell TC opium. ezpz tried and true strategy
>>146280926
Since Atlantis wants us to pick up the pace, fairly enough, we'll wrap this up in one more image after this one then we'll get a battle log, to show you all those sweet, sweet army compositions, which I know are what you all really want.
Here you can see the lines of Jomon samurai and Man Tower Guards clashing...
Can I get maybe like a 3 hour extension in flatus. Got a class to go to that might make my turn tight.
>>146281082
And here are the battle lines a second after the initial clash. If there was any doubt before I think this image spells out where the battle is going clearly enough. Onto the battle log!
>>146281053
Increased subterfuge options in Dominions 5? Make my foresters extra useful.
>>146281269
So yes, Man won. Here you go Atlantis.
>>146278439

>>146278472
>>146278751
why would i post a play-by-play of my own ass getting kicked? Of course I won.
>>146281450
this image is clearly photoshopped to show yourself winning, post your turn file or else I call bullshit
>>146281450
>you know your stuff
"No shields: the nation" vs "everything has a ranged attack: the nation"
That's not a hard prediction to make. Unless he has some serious mage support there was literally no way he could have won.
>>146281450
You just made it way too slow, sorry.
>>146280926
Gath was 5 provinces and took W9E9, it's free food. But hey try to justify turning two buddies against each other just so you can vulture whoever wins.
kill ghosts
>>146281575
Okay, how exactly do I do that? In the mean time I can give you more examples of how I won. Massed crossbows together with thunderstrikes slaughtered their infantry before they were able to engage. And the addition of Phantasmal Army and Earth meld which made them take even longer to reach my line allowing for more thunder and crossbowing sealed the deal. My tower guards barely engaged in melee.
>>146281636
Yeah, I feel like I made a smart move picking this fight.
>>146281732
Fair enough. Battle logs are the meat of /domg/, the rest is just me reveling in victory and accumulating vendetta for the sake of my ego.
>>146281795
But Gath was MY buddy! Now who's my buddy? And don't say it should have been Jomon.
>>146282045
Would if I could, but they're too far away so I've settled for Japanese.
>>146282172
should have picked better buddies. Besides you still have agartha
>>146282172

I didn't get it either but I've never actually tried LA Jomon before.
>>146282394
How can we trust you if you won't even tell us your nation?
>>146282347
Agartha does seem nice at least. Dealings with Agartha have been very civil. What are you doing right now? Are there any major happenings recently in some other corner of the world?
>>146282347
I've been told he attacked Agartha before, didn't he?
>>146283013
>Are there any major happenings recently in some other corner of the world?
Just a nation with three provinces styling all over a nation with fifty provinces.
>>146283154
thank you Bogarus, you continue to martyr yourself so that we may live in harmony and contentment
>>146283121
I took one province then Agartha persuaded me that Man's efforts might be better spent elsewhere so I marched the other way. No harm done. I consider us on good terms now.
The story of my cancelled invasion of Agartha is also the story of how I decided to invade Jomon. Really, who wants all those caves and mountains? Forests are where it's at.
>>146283154
kek. is that Pan? From the messages going out I figured they were having a really rough time of it.
>>146283407
How about "thank you Pangaea, you continue to stem the tide of the biggest nation in the game so that we may live in harmony and contentment", huh?
No love for the innocent underdog, holding his own against all odds?
>>146283507
>is that Pan?
The one and only.
>>146283154
thank you Bogarus, you continue to martyr yourself so that we may live in harmony and contentment
>>146283670
Who can't sympathise with an underdog? Since you're on the other side of the planet I can't offer you much other than moral support, but I hope it brings you strength to know that the people of Man are behind you as much as they can be while still remaining true to The Great Deku Tree, the one true god. I'm really interested in seeing how this stuff plays out.
Can Bogarus weigh in here? What's preventing the final capitol-killing blow? Can seduction really cripple a campaign that hard?

HOLD UP a moment, my friend.
Does equipping the cat charm on a male commander truly give him the female tag if worn long enough?
>>146287176
I think it counts as female for as long as the charm is worn, studies were curtailed due to bard being really crap seducers and indie mage names being sometimes fairly unisex.
>>146287423
So if I summon a succubus.
And equip it with both bear claw talisman and cat charm...

yeah, it seems that #bonusspells will cast non-script spells. For example, here I scripted him to spam shadowblast all the time, but he's casting shadowblast as the first action and then devovles into AI casting.

The problem with too many skellingtons is that you fill up the entire battlefield with them until there aren't any squares left for them to appear.
in retrospect, too much fatigue, too many gems, not as many skellies as we would want
time for take 2
did someone say "BLITZ"?!
>>146303814
No. No one said blitz until you did just now.
>>146303807
>>146303582
we should create a buff that create skeletons every turn making the skelespam exponential.
>>146303787
I don't see how that's a problem.
In fact I once won a siege battle because of that.
I was summoning so many skellingtons that my side of the battlefield was completely out of space, so new skellies just started to appear inside the enemy fort, overwhelming the defenders (who they couldn't beat) and attacking the mages behind them (who they could beat).
okay, making 500+ sleletons per round crashes the game. I think we have our limit here.
>>146304104
Yeah, that's happened to me as well, but it's a shame the battlefield doesn't just keep expanding forever with skeletons
This is the future you choose.

my LA ctis snakelady(note: i am not changing chassis).
is it worth it to take awful death scales to buy magic scales? i already gave up 1 dominion to take one magic scales so the real question is: how much does luck-based gem rains scale with magic?

I'm guessing you don't still need that extension. Also, did you get my message about taking over admin?
It's like he's casting a beam of skellingtons.

why are you using snake lady? it's cheaper to use fountain
>>146306345
Mobile chassis with built in D1. I personally prefer the higher dom from fountain, but it's not the worst thing in the world
Here's what it looks like on a throne with Ench. 3
Oh, and having run a similar build - LA C'tis sacreds are actually decent at expanding when you've got that bless. You're not taking your super massive bless for them or anything, but it does help your expansion parties walk into crossbows and be okay
> turn based
shit game
What I think should be done to buff human-sized shits:
#bonusspells 2 so they could cast 2 spells per round and in melee
Additional unlimited ranged attacks (fireballs for fire Arch Mage, some other shit for other guys) so they could spam evos and cast spells at the same time.
Built-in air shield.

tl; dr
shit game
I have a rather large supply of water gems and only w1 and a very small chance of getting w2 native mages.
any fun stuff I can do with them?
>>146307837
Wait for W2 (or empower), then craft bracer, then craft robe, then you get W4, then you get sea king and W5. Then do whatever the fuck you want.
>>146307112
#bonusspells with a value above 1 is a pile of shit since you can't script it. I'd say give them all good reinvig, bodyguards, #bonusspells1, and a ranged attack.
>>146307837
Water bracelet and bottles of water.
>>146307837
>create Water Bracelets
>give Water Bracelets to W1 mages
>use W1 (now W2) mages to mass-produce Bottles of Living Water
>have your all you armies accompanied by a mass of Scouts carrying 2 water bottles each
>enjoy your unlimited water elemental works
>>146307837
Frozen heart spam.
Make Water bracelets (w1), get a robe (w3), wait for w2 dude, and summon a Sea King (w3) put both on him for w5. Get a Sea Lady and Item her up to W7.
Then sprinkle the lands with Vengeful Water (w7)

Thanks for the ideas guys.
i fucking hate this world and every fleshbag living on it
it's time for me to kill
>>146307837
use for water gems more or less in order of subjective importance:
-a couple of water bracelets
-lot of water bottles
-some frostbrands
-some waterbreathing gear
-1 or 2 summon bishop fish if your nation lacks native holy 3
-queens of elemental water if you have a ton of w gems;
- maelstrom if you feel like there is space and time for a global spell.
-sea king's court give some mediucre troops but they are one of the few summons which pays gold upkeep so you don't summon them casually ( if not for the water path of the king of course)
-a couple of gelatinous cubes if you wanna buff them and throw them against humans in a battle as a funny original MINOR battle plan. difficult to make effective.
that's fucking it. remember that is always better to have items forged and doing nothing with them than having 100 water gems, doing nothing with them and cry a lot when you realize you actually need 6 water bottles to raid a province/defend a mage from assasins or a frostbrand to kit a makeshift thug for an emergency, because it will take at least one more turn to craft them and you are going to suffer during that time.
and it's time for me to die
>>146307135

I want to play a skellybones game. What faction/age is the most fun skellybones?
>>146319392

What stuff do I want to research for with them? I remember my last game went okay, but I eventually go shit on even with a gorillion skeletons because they suck.

>>146319689
>>146319753
>they fell for the ma ermor meme
sceleria is THE most fun skellybones
>>146320158
I usually go Ench 5-6 (for horde of skellingtons early aggression/raiding and Rigor Mortis), Evo 7 (Sweet Wind of Death, the slayer of doomstacks, plus shadowblasts/bane fire), while getting Const 4 somewhere on the way for skull staves. Then most players just quit and you win.
>>146320396
Scleria is only half skeli
>>146320428
What kind of god and scales do I want?
>>146320475
90% skellies, 5% mages, 5% shadow waifus
>>146320493
It depends on whether you want to go full bless, then probably a demilich or some other guy with a bless that may or may not include two-three of those: W9, D9, N9, B9. If you want to play a rainbow mage, then lich queen is a really good choice. Just go for paths that will get you more cool spells and summons with path access like elemental royalty. One of my favorite builds is awake lich queen with A4E4S6D6. Or you can do A4W24D6N4 or something like that.
Scales are ALWAYS dumped. You don't need them when you have freespawn sacreds and chaff. Trumoil 3, Sloth 3, Death 3, Cold or Heat 3 (Cold is more thematic and will help your guys with cold auras while heat is useful as skellingtons can cross rivers and your opponents usually can't), Luck 3, Magic 3 for cool events that give you +2953 gold each turn. You can dump Luck and Magic a little if you want strong bless.
Always build your first forts as early as possible, and as close to each other as possible. Then build temples only there. Never leave your temples in the open, it's wasted money.
>>146320493
you either go for a triple major bless and use death gems to empower one of your mages or get an awake pretender with high death because you actually need an high death mage to start summoning your good mages otherwise they'll be out of reach for too long.
drop all scales to terrible, but go for luck and possibly 1-2-3 magic scales( which in combination with luck give random gems and help research).
I got it to work
>>146320493
The big choices are awake or imprisoned and bless or rainbow.
Awake means you don't have to waste gems empowering to get mages and you get extra skellies from the extra domspread. Imprisoned means more points duh.
Bless means your lictors and knights are mean as fucking hell. Rainbow means access to any spell you care about. Don't do an imprisoned rainbow.
>>146322193
What the fuck is going on there
>>146322193
How well do the shrooms do in an actual battle?
>>146322626
Minor stun damage and tarpitting. It's the vines and the other shit that kills stuff.

I'm still going to win, but the seduction meme is not only costly but also extremely frustrating. I could see how it could be used to great effect to change the tide of a war, but not this war, in this war it's just going to drain all the joy and passion out of my life.

Dude, you're a great modding guy. Do you know what are all flysprites of different things? Old Dom3 table doesn't work. I just want to give a dude fireballs as a weapon.
>>146326321
I just use the spell info dump here: http://www.desura.com/games/dominions-4-thrones-of-ascensions/forum/thread/spells-and-their-attributes
That gives you all the values for vanilla spells, so you can just copy the #flysprite value from Fireball or Fire Flies or whatever.
>>146326791
Doesn't work though. Works for explosion sprites but not with weapons.
