/domg/ - Dominions General

g-guys how do i contact the llamabeast? i can't find any contact info anywhere.

i want to flap my bats.

>>172597423
what does summod change ?

>>172639816
summod changes Rain Of Stones(E3A1 spell) gem requirement from 1 to 2, making it impossible for a E1A1 mage with earth boots to cast it on the first turn, since a mage can only consume gems equal to its elemental level for a spell. Can still do it with Summon earth power, but second turn RoS is not as good as first turn.

>>172640016
Thanks, anon

>>172640016
Wow shiet I never realized that before. I wonder if that can be called "balance" though? RoS is a powerful spell, but does it need to be nerfed if you already have a mage that's e1a1, boots, and research for that spell? 6th level spells are no joke and they should be treated as no jokes. Some even game changers. Without the change evo6 has a rightful place of a powerful 6th level spell that competes with other 6th level spells from other schools. I think if a nation can research evo6 it should be granted that they are also capable of casting RoS, without summod's changes.

>>172640568
RoS was bullshit.

- Ranged:
** Tsihsithese Human Bowman (Dynastic human), 7g, 4r, Short Bow, Bronze Hatchet, Linen Cuirass.
--- Ranged unit, Blind and Mountain survival
** Tsihsithese Human Bowman (Dynastic human), 7g, 5r, Composite Bow, Bronze Hatchet, Linen Cuirass.
--- Ranged unit, Blind and Mountain survival

kek.

>>172641086
bullshit maybe, but so is wild hunt, BoT, elementals, and all those other shits you can cast at 6th level.

>>172641658
you can't cast those with 1level paths

>>172641658
none of those clear the battlefield before the other side can act

>>172641658
Rain of stones was more bullshit than being able to summon 4 elementals. It was on a level with fog warriors, an a5 , 3 gem spell. This makes RoS closer in requirements (and still more common).

>>172641438

7g composite bows? Sounds solid.

>>172640568
>>172641658
nope.
RoS turn 1 is way harder to deal with than any of that shit, way more enraging and completely neuters all the recruitable and national summons of many nations.

elementals can be dealt with if you have a big army. 4 air elementals won't kill 170 troops and 24 mages, and most importantly you need to invest some non joke mage to cast it.
level 1 mages should not be allowed to do such wonderful things alone.

>>172644050
did you miss the part where they were blind?

>>172639651
its at the bottom of every email you get from the server. its [email protected]

>>172641658
those cant be cast nearly as easily as rain of stones could be

>>172644050
theyre blind anon

>>172644758
>[email protected]

thanks. i looked everywhere else but in my email folder!

>>172644616
So they are unaffected by darkness?

What /domg/ games are on llamaserver now? is MAdman a /domg/ game?

>>172645359
true.
they also will never receive a prec malus

>>172645587
*unstarted /domg/ games I mean.

>>172644616
>>172644758

So what? Do you rely on your archers sharpshooting stuff? No you mass them and let arrow volleys fly. Its a very good archer plus you can use darkness to equalize the fighting field.

>>172645587
just check the steam group for games. i know theres an autistic rp game starting soonish, but it might be full. i know the stupid elf game is /domg/ but idk about madman

>>172645961
the issue with really low precision archers is that they tend to hit your own blockers just as often as they hit the enemy, and if theyre fighting a smaller force of blessed units or a thug or something theyll never be able to hurt the enemy at all. theyre basically monkey archers

>>172645730
>>172645587
>is MAdman a /domg/ game?

yes.

>>172645961
well but unless the oppoenent literally makes a blob of 300 units ( which is ill advised) then your archers will scatter so many shots that the 7 gold cost will be completely defeated.
using them with darkness is good but your first war should come before you get alteration 6.

>>172645961
the whole thing is kind of moot since their mages are also blind

>>172647290
What if by blind, anon meant blindfighter?

>>172647848
I'm finishing compiling the mod now, so we'll see then, won't we?

>>172647290
>>172646396

What is their precision anyway? 0? Surely not because if they are blind like the affliction then their att/def would also be 0.

>>172648994
somehow their precision is 10
so then yes, they're very good, but they're slaves with morale 7 and their best commander has taskmaster +1 ldrship 120

>>172649586

WOW slaves too? What is their upkeep 2g? Amazingly good.

look her over, I'm off to lunch, when I get back I'll make a game

>>172640568
It's also worth noting that any blood nation can easily make their A1E1s into A1E3s thanks to bloodstones. The change makes blood even stronger, while nerfing already weak nations (like MA Man, for instance).

>>172648994
Blind here means the ability, not the affliction. The Blind ability means "this unit sees without using it's eyes". It doesn't actually mean the unit is any worse at seeing, and it protects against penalties from darkness / mist etc.

So these guys are actually insane anti-archers for an A nation, get a bunch of 7g composite bows and cast Mist/Solar Eclipse, watch enemy archers and mages whiff while you rain death on the enemy.

elf removal commences

>>172658558
Thanks for posting. I'm trying to prevent stales with small extensions. Hopefully elves and giants can get their stuff in on time, but I'd really like to avoid this game turning into the usual domg clusterfuck of stalers and AIs. You and new Marverni have both been very resilient, which is awesome

>>172658558
>>172659765
Oh, they actually have 5 hours left. That's probably plenty; I'll hold off on extending for them.

>>172659901
Don't do micromanagements. Do not be a badmin. I'm not even in the game, but micro catering of stallers will never be a good thing. If a nation stales that means they could not make the turn or choose not to. We all have human lives and it's understandable to miss a turn. But if you intentionally stale, especially twice it calls for being set to AI. The player has given up and microcaterring to their needs breeds more bad players. The golden rule still stands. 2 stales = AI. No extensions unless asked. If nobody asks then never extend. You're a manager not a babysitter.

Sorry about that province, Bogarus, the scout went insane and attacked it.

>>172661582
I can already see one nation with 9/atk square sacreds, which are recruitable anywhere. To be fair, the nation has tons of other weaknesses (cold blooded, meh pathing, no nationals) but still, ouch.

>>172663274
one of those is a lance, so it's 6 after that, but you're missing the equally important part which is that they are ETHEREAL. They also have very high def, so you could run w9x9 and roll some people over

>>172663458
I was talking about the enigma of the bog. Bite+Flail. The cap onlies have berserk 5 too.

>>172663274
I managed to miss a FAE 85g flier too.
I may just ban them as opposed to fucking around with the mod

>>172663274
>>172663458
>>172663519
yeah, nvm. Different sacred. The ethereal guys aren't rec everywhere either

>>172663593
I mean, the 9 atk/sacred dudes would be spookier if they weren't cold blooded.

They're legit not even something you need to care much about just by running cold 3. Nation doesn't really have the pathing for breath of the desert either.

>>172663801
the entire nation hates hats and they have 0 ranged troops too

>>172664220
Did I say they were without flaws? I just commented that they had excellent blenders.

The nation would really shine if it had the air path for arrow fend/storm/mass flight, all of which make archers useless in their own ways.

C'tis can you elaborate on your message?

>>172660615
seconded

>>172661582
sent in my stupid ass pretender. looking forward to my invulnerable sacred stealthy hobbit flyers

GIANTS PLZ

If you send in your turn again, does it change your turn or fuck up?

I realized I could make a much better move in one game.

I'm trying to dig around for a copy of the map 'Chalice of Ilmatar'(older map that is similar to Valanis) but the dropbox link from the mod creator is dead. Anyone know where I can find a copy of this map?

>>172670514
You can resend both turns and pretenders

>>172670556
oh my god it's beautiful

Hegude are you around?

>>172670556
What the fuck am I reading.

Also one of my biggest pet peeves is people writing "morale" as "morale" so this really isn't fun.

I have some n00b questions.

1. I'm never happy with my midgame--too much micro and spell confusion--can anyone recommend a simple(r) nation to keep learning the game with?

2. If I build 5 temples, does that actually increase my max dominion scale? Aka if I had a 9 dominion scale on my pretender, then built 5 temples, I'd have 10?

3. Does anyone have a basic pretender mod template?

File: 1488874079779s.jpg (2KB, 125x125px) Image search: [Google]

2KB, 125x125px

>>172670556
>Conjugation, alternation
>moral

It's like pottery

>>172677507
2.) correct you only need to build 4(the one in your capitol counts) new temples to increase dominion scale. After that then you get more dominion for each 5 temples you build. However, this works differently in a disciple game where its number of nations on a team x 5 for the amount of temples needed for a dominion increase.(so on a team of two, you'd need 10 total temples to increase dominion.)

>>172678221
Right so I can, by spamming temples, eventually give my pretender Awe?

>>172677507
1. So you want a nation with low mage support and less scripting. Try MA Ulm, throw melee in front, crossbows in back, set mages to "Cast Spells" and it should not be that bad since the AI loves to throw buffs around.

2.Yes, every 5 temples increases your domain scale by 1, up to cap of 10.

3. Answer is: It Depends
You can copy some pretenders from a nations guide to start

>>172678554
I don't mind scripting, it's mostly map micromanagement that bogs me down. So maybe a nation with teleports, easy site finding, etc?

>>172678456
Awe is determined in pretender creation. Going from dom 8 to dom 9 does not give your pretender Awe.

>>172678881
Yeah, that's the answer I was looking for. I thought scales were locked at creation but the manual made it sound like building temples increased it+altered pretender.

So it just increases it, not altering the pretender.

>>172679110
domg games waiting for pretenders ?

Are those good enough to run tribless awake on? I want to know if I should test out some N9W9E9 memes on them.

>>172688131
I wouldn't do E9, honestly. They wear armor, so you don't get the full effect of the E bless, and they're mounted so their encumbrance isn't that bad. N9W9B9 or F9 for extra killing power would probably be better.

But yes, absolutely, they can crush people with a tribless

>>172687189
you can come live under my bed, if you take hormones.
I'm sorry bro hope shit works out

>>172689291
E9 is very important for the awake, and makes them fatigue neutral. In addition to that, testing showed they get +4 prot from it, which isn't bad.

N9W9B9 is also an option, yes, but it makes the expander much weaker without the +9 prot from earth. N9W9B9E4 is too expensive sadly, but you could in theory go N9W9B9E6 without an awake and they'd be fatigue neutral even with W9.

>>172661582
Would be more interesting on a non-shit map.

I can't pick a nation, I have anxiety that I'm going to pick the wrong one.

>>172695239
give me a non shit map

>>172695461
Literally any with wrap around would be better. Corners are an awful thing to have.

>>172695285
You best pick a nation that can survive being rushed by tri-bless awake nation with ethereal 8 atk/square on a charge sacreds.

That 8 atk/square is before the bless btw.

With that nation you want sloth 3 and get the +2 scales somewhere else. The sacreds cost 16 resources and 100 gold, and even sloth 3 lets you recruit 2 turn 0.

2 of those with W9N9E9 can take damn near anything.

Hey admin, if you want to delete this ridiculous nation, that's fine too. I'm okay with playing as something else.

>>172700295
Which one was Elenrus?

>>172700379
>>172696442

>>172700295
Honestly, I'd be fine as either playing them or not having them in the game. They're not that OP in the longrun due to having little else amazing sans the cap only sacreds, but they can basically choose any nation not packing magic weapons early and insta-gib them with 0 counterplay.

Nations with magic weapons can at least sort of defend themselves. It just warps the game too much.

>>172700728
Their mages are okay too, honestly. 65g S1 mages can definitely be useful. W isn't the best without F, but they'll be able to pull out E for buffs from their big cap mages (even if they do need to communion up for them)

>>172696826
>Autohealer will now result in high pretender cost
Why was this nerf necessary? Who even picked pretenders for their healing ability?

>New mod commands: #nowish, #addupkeep, #springshape (x4)
>New mod commands: #almostundead, #almostliving
Those look neat.

Not sure what almost undead and almost living do, though.

>>172697292
Grab the debug mod, use S1 1 pearl wishes to get everything.

It does set almost every spell to research zero, though. Makes testing at a specific research level difficult.

>>172701526
It's an earthsnake nerf?

>>172701698
You're thinking of recuperation (tag #heal).

#autohealer is the ability which can also heal other units in the province.

>>172702275
In that case it's dumb

>>172701514
I'll go ahead and throw down a ban on them, since they seem to be way outside the power level of the rest of the nations.

Feel free to submit a different nation and I'll just delete that one before we start

Will do.

Yo, can you upload the map file somewhere?

>>172708515
There isn't one, I switched to one with a link

Is it possible to heal an affliction off of an undead or demon? Healer status says it can't heal undead and the only other method I can think of is an unique artifact.

Jomon is actually one of the few LA nations I like.

If only they were MA instead. Them being less terrible would be nice too

>>172723317
It's weird how complete Jomon feels compared to the other LA nations. The others just feel copy-pasted

>>172724109
I think it's mainly that they have a significantly distinct focus from the other LA nations.

C'tis, T'ien Ch'i, Bogarus, and Atlantis are similarly interesting to me, but most of the other LA nations come off as way too similar to each other (or, in the case of mictlan and xibalba, as basically copies of EA nations).

>>172724109
except the best Jomon strategy is to use an earthsnake, recruit indy crossbows, and support them with generic magic

>Play as EA Ermor

sorry it was not a true throne rush, it was a relative throne rush in the sense i was crumbling with no decent idea on how to fight Marignon and i had to take several hard thrones at the same time with no recruitable H3.So i just cut out support to all my militar operations that weren't throne capturing.

Cavalry provinces are difficult, and that one had 31 cavalry (poor quality cav, but still nasty in that number).

Undead provinces are also way harder than they'd look, because undead never rout.

All things considered, your troops did very well to take out 11 enemies.

>>172733939
is there any unit worth wishing for .

>>172735186

Grigori

>>172664715

There's nothing to elaborate: The largest player by far is about to get larger and get an easy level 2 throne if he's not invaded by others in the next few turns.

>>172735621

Yes but Bogarus has trash troops so what is he using to attack you and why arent you wining?

>>172735186
Seraph. Queen of the City. Frog.

>>172735186
High end summons can be worth it, but it's usually better to just find a way to get a high end summon directly.

>>172735791
Bogarus has excellent mage support and summons.

>>172736467

So does C'tis, your point?

In fact C'tis does cheaper and better whatever Bogarus does. Not blood so is he invading with blood?

>>172736614
I'm not C'tis so I haven't the slightest clue what he's being invaded with, but by turn 31 I'd definitely hope Bogarus is using blood summons.

Bogarus' mage support is way better than C'tis. Individually they may not be as good, but everything Bogarus has costs less than half the price of what C'tis has and Bogarus has much better diversity.

Is the behemoth worth it?

>>172702371

It's just a bugfix.
Pretender autocalc currently gives a cost to disease healing, but not to full, heal-every-affliction healing, which is a much rarer and exclusive ability.
For the base game, this means the Bodhisattiva will be a bit more expensive.

>>172737119
Yes, in summod. It's niche though. You'd mostly want a 99 morale undead trampler for sieges or to buff it (body ethereal and gift of flight work) and make it go ham on the enemy's rearguard.

>>172737119
I've found it to be situationally useful.

It's basically an elephant minus many of the downsides, but at ten gems apiece it really needs buffs to make it worthwhile.

Drop ironskin, body ethereal, and flight (or at least two of those), and it'll murder things while ignoring most troops.

>>172737191

Maybe we'll get to see some of the underused pretenders like earth serpent in games.

Ironskin is a personal spell. You're thinking legions of still or iron warriors.

>>172737414
>>172737280
How do I make my mages target it and not mr. bones with 1 hp and no arms?

>>172737554
Almost no way to predict what they're target, but if you set your mages and an elephant aside far away from other troops, they'll have no choice. Gift of flight is range 5, body ethereal is range 1, so just take 2 mages and an elephant and put them 5 squares away from everything else.

>>172737530
Ironskin is the effect of the buff as well as the single target buff.

You'd need to use Iron Warriors (or Army of Lead/Gold) to buff your Behemoth, yes. I don't think Legions of Steel would do anything since the behemoth doesn't have any armor.

>>172737554
They should generally target it automatically if they're placed right next to it.

Mages usually target by hp and range, so if it's the highest HP thing on the battlefield and also right next to them they should go for it first.

If you want to be certain, put the mage and behemoth away from any other troops.

Welp, I built up a million triblessed maenads and vine ogres, backed up by geared up, landwalking Bishop Fish and regeneration spamming pans, with evocation casters and ethereal summons in reserve. All so I could stand a chance against the endless sea of undead apes.

Then Wannabee Sceleria AI'd, so I had to drop them on Abysia instead. This is a hollow victory, even for a meme game.

The game is effectively over, because Lanka's AI won't give divine blessing the priority it deserves. I don't particularly want to micro against AI until I get enough thrones to win. Lanka still has twice as much chaff as me, so I could have a few fights with them for the sake of impressive screenshots.

Gotta hit that thread limit.

Honestly, I thought Therodos would turn out to be a monster with everything is sacred, but I guess it takes more than that to make them playable. EiB was fun while it lasted, I'll go back to horribly losing vanilla and summod games now.

>>172741017
>Mictlan ahead of Pan in army size
Slaves? Tribless slaves?

>>172741395
I only fought Therodos as an AI but even then they got beaten easily every time.

>>172741395
I was Therodos.
There were couple of mistakes made and I think I know how to rectify them. 1: Made too many land forts, which exposed them to the world where anyone can scout and attack; I should've focused more on UW provinces than land provs (this was because I wanted the death throne so badly). 2: I got into too much fighting early on; I should've slept UW forever until I had unlimited ghosts and BoT working in my favor.

>>172741491
Slaves and access to level 3 priests so they could expand quick and snowball. Mitchlan was in a great position when he quit.

>>172741697
I've was sat on the death throne since turn 3.

>>172741491
I used F9N9B9, so yeah, tribless slaves and everything. I also got the reanimating hero on turn 3, so I had tribless skellingtons as well. F9 makes all archers god-tier too, so slinger groups were my initial expanders.

>>172744031
I dunno, that looks pretty close to me.

For the last 3 or so turns Ulm is losing provinces while Sceleria (Ermor?), Agartha, and Marignon are all gaining them to some extent.

It looks like a big drop for Ulm, but I think if you added the gains from all of those players together it'd largely work. Maybe a few indie attacks like >>172744136 said.

>falling for the (((less magic))) meme

>>172744803
When you can spam crossbows and win fights, there isn't a(s much) need to bring out magic.

Yeah, eventually crossbows lose effectiveness and stop working completely, but they'll get you through a decent chunk of midgame with minimal magic usage.

Okay, so it seems that both ElfingAround and MAdman are taking forever to start. I'd rather join some other games then.

Admins, can you please remove my pretenders?
I'm Pelagia in ElfingAround and Ashdod in MAdman.

Thanks in advance.

Fucking exhausted trying to figure out how to expand as LA Man without an Awake. Spamming tower guards doesn't work, spamming spearmen doesn't work (spearmen are really shit, like indie light infantry are better because they have javelins at least) spamming xbows doesn't work, spamming longbows REALLY doesn't work and mixtures...some sorta work? I had success with tower knights set to hold attack archers with spearmen set to hold attack closest, but that doesn't work against heavy cavalry. Really my biggest problem is fighting heavy cav because my xbows don't actually shoot at the cavalry when I tell them to fire cavalry, they fire at the mounted commanders which are out of range, so they run straight into the cavalry. Firing closest has them shoot the fucking militia in front of the cavalry. Tower Knights are great, but at 46 resources you're getting like 2/turn until you get your whole capring, and by that point you've already been conquered by some tribless dickhead

Hey, I might be late getting back today. Can I get a 4 hour extension just in case? Hopefully I'll be able to submit it before the turn would've gone through, but I'd feel safer with an extension

>>172749180
I know these feelings.
Also I'm going to stale, I'm sorry I simply forgot that I needed to do my turn, don't bother extending I'm dead anyways :(

>>172749630
How do you do it mang? Mercenaries?

>>172749950
2 groups of tower guards/crossbowman depending on resources , one set to fire the other in a line in front of them set to fire as well.

It didn't work great, but I managed to expand decently enough

>>172750621
I'm getting 12-15 by spamming spears to get a few provs, then changing to spamming tower knights but that's slow as fuck. I tried 2-3 squads of xbows set to fire none in the hopes that they would choose sensible targets but they never fucking do

>>172744031
>>172744649
2 barbarian attacks ( one of which on my capital 1 turn after i moved my throne capturer. dodged a bullet there).

but it was mostly agartha roaming my empire with undefeatable armies of umbrals and statues and a scary N9E9 fully geared mama.Also Ermor invaded.
i gave up on fighting them so i could focus on the thrones.

>>172751503
Okay, fuck, I fuckin got it

You take one (1) province to get some resources, then you recruit nothing but tower knights. 8 knights can take any province losslessy by setting them to hold attack closest in line formation way back led by an indie commander

>>172678726

Vanheim has sailing and cloud trapeze. You could also do Caelum since it's all fliers.

Hey who's the host of baby_rngesus? Hey host if you are watching could you force hosting the turns when fomoria and Maverni are finished? The game has 3 stallers and at this point it's better to just let the players finish instead of setting them to ai and delaying the game even further. It's kinda obvious who's won at this point.

also host of baby_rngsus change the hosting interval to 36 hours. There are only 2 players. It's not going to take long.

Sorry Ulm, I don't know how that happened. Feel free to take it back.

I have described myself as "a 4/10 player but better than half of /domg/" before so yeah. I just feel like most big games get memed on by the usual suspects. And you know, I can hardly blame them for using their skills to win. It just feels a bit oppressive sometimes.

>>172789158
At the very least, you want your cavalry going in behind your infantry. What'll happen here is the cavalry go in first, get stuck in on enemy troops, then your infantry will cut them off from behind. "Attack Rear" is a vague suggestion at best. If you want your cavalry to have a shot of getting at the enemy's back row, switch the orders. "Attack Closest" for the infantry and "Hold and Attack Rear" for the cavalry. Then move the cavalry blocks several squares further back.

What will happen is the infantry march forward and engage with the enemy. Actually your guys with throw javelins, which is a bit of a downside in this case. Then the cavalry move forward and look for an enemy to engage. What you want is for the surface area of your troops to be greater than that of the enemy's so that your troops naturally wrap around them and attack from the sides. You actually have very little control over this besides bringing many more troops to the battle. In general I'd say you want quite a bit more infantry, but, as always, >>172789225

>>172789158
Another tactic no one has mentioned is using a possible lure in front of your infantry set to guard commander who will hopefully lure enemies set to attack closest toward the bottom or top of the map. If you have the lure heading to the bottom (ie, your commander is in the bottom middle of your formations set to holdx5), you can then have your knights WAY far back on the top on hold and attack rear, and they may (JUST MAY) get past the frontlines into the rear.

Getting into the rear is a bit of a luck gamble, and its actually easier with fewer troops as their blob isn't as big.
