Alternatively, Ozzies lack magic weapons, and aren't immune to Rigor Mortis.

And he only has 1200 Ozzies. I sort of just had around 5k spectrals lying around in the area just by coincidence.

>>147669308
Is this summod? Otherwise MRN will fuck ghosts over. Unless you buff them.

>>147669384
He'll definitely cast army of lead.

Listen, Jotunheim. When you're the last one to get your turn in, do a double. A "double" is when you send in your turn, wait a minute, get the new turn, play the new turn, and send it in right away.

It's not like your turns should take more than a few minutes at this point anyways.

>>147669879
Eyy, sorry about being a shitter but I'm really exhausted all the time, and I keep spending hours lying awake in bed instead of doing turns because I think that if I just lay there long enough I'll eventually fall asleep. Which usually works.

>>147668130
Actually, it'll take at least three to put a serious dent in it, and that's a ton of gems. You could have a more effective result with one demon cleansing and two rain of stones.

>>147670593
I thought it was blood 9. You wanna play safe with blood 9.

>>147670667
>RoS
>Demon Cleansing
>Blood 9
wot

>>147670738
RoS triggers damage reversal.

>>147670807
So the fuck what? Cast it round 1, like any good RoSer. Or load them with antimagic. Or use your empowered immortals, since it's flatus.

>>147671002
Well, Lemuria can WoD a shitton of times, but it's not like it will have 9 turn 1 RoS casters. Well, yeah, it's Flatus, so what the fuck do I know.

>>147671160
After turn 110 pretty much any decent late game nation should have more than 9 turn 1 RoS casters.

Even more risky than a normal game, you have no idea what a noob is going to have as their pretender. It could be literally anything.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even threads can die

If /domg/ was anime things would be different around here.

>>147682671
what kind of Anime would /domg/ be?

some kind of school based one?

You could take an awake immobile. That would fuck the teotl right over

How'd that last blitz go?

>>147682785
Ludroth lost internet, so far the only battle was Arco running into 50 PD

>>147682785
we played 25 turns by email because blitz servers is forever full unless the admin deletes games manually.
the one of the three guys had a blackout and is still probably without electricity; we could continue the PBEM in the next days.
So far we are all researching/summoning wthout any war going on ( mostly because it requires some research/bullshit troops to eliminate the defender's advantage of giant PD walls in chokepoints).

>>147682763
that's if you know the tetol is coming. if you don't know it's coming you're going to get your tender cheeks spread, specially if the tetol gets there in a couple turns.

If you're Lanka they aren't much better than regular skeletons. They have too low of HP, so hits that go through ethereal one shot them anyway.

>>147697991
On that note, are mercs ever worth it?

I've got no idea where they even spawn.

>>147698343
They spawn in the province you had selected when you bid on them. They're okay for expansion and some of the mages can help you pick up stuff that isn't normally available to your nation. Other than that, not often.

>>147698343
They "spawn" in the province that you select when you hire them. Any mercenaries that can expand on their own are worth hiring, and they can also help win early game wars when a fresh block of 30 medium infantry actually has an impact. Later on, they fall off dramatically in usefulness, since a commander's worth of infantry will start mattering much less than another mage (except for the mages, which are quite nice if they have paths that you're otherwise lacking)

>>147698343
For expansion they can be quite handy, and rarely there's a useful merc mage around the place.

>>147698392
Mercs have 3 purposes imo:
Expansion, the primary purpose. Plenty of Merc groups can take indy provinces for a price cheaper than an expansion party, and can appear in any province you own.
Magic Diversity: Sometimes, a mercenary mage can break you into a magic path you don't have. Gote here is notorious, as he can jumpstart your blood eco.
Seige Chaff: Especially in lategame, sometimes multiple mercs will be available for cheap since they haven't been bought recently, and can act as on demand chaff for seiging down forts.

>>147698840
For mid/lategame they can be useful to take a few provinces as well.

As you said, they're usually available cheaply for the number of troops they give. Either your enemy sends their own, more expensive troops to take them down or you get extra provinces.

Where were you when Illfraud implemented a site that gives you a 7-gem unit every turn?

Does thetis blessing make land troops fight well underwater? Or does it just allow them underwater with the penalties still withstanding?

Well played Pan. I hope you attack my water provinces while you can.

I'm gonna dispel thetis blessing once you have lots of troops in the water and they will all drown. Finally I can use my stockpile of water gems for something besides bottles of water.

How much of a difference is 10 dom vs 6 dom vampire making wise for Queen of Vamps? Is the extra dom worth scales lost?

>>147709814
Even dom8 does almost fucking nothing, m8. Domspawn is really shitty in general (especially for the ghost king, because he's not even immortal), and Illfraud should be ashamed of its execution.

So /domg/, do you want to see planes in Dom4, similar to the ones in CoE4? The possibilities are interesting, invading an elemental plane to kill powerful summons and secure phat stax of gems, or opening portals to the inferno or astral planes to spite a foe. It would spice up the endgame and give wish rush players another way to fuck over everyone.

>>147710078
Flatus has a good idea with a terrible execution. Making planes with balanced but strong indies and good rewards is pretty neat, and woul allow people to rush them in hopes of gaining early advantage, or gang up on a person who's rushing them.

Is T3L3 in LA ever viable outside of popkill nations?

>>147710412
It is on some nations, especially ones with shitty troops but good mages/summons. Patala comes to mind.

>>147710078
Does magic of other elements work in a particular elemental plane?

I believe not. In LA you need gold not ocassionally, but every darn turn, so T3 is not an option. T1 is the bottom.

>>147710717
meant to >>147710412

>>147710078
sounds like a different way to make a global/summoning spell that is actually more interactive with the game mechanics, and also give rush players another way to play the game, which can be seen as healthy, especially by their neighbours.
i like it, but how do we do it?

>>147711984
We? Only by making custom maps. Illfraud? Only if we pay for all their expenses.

>>147711984
It would be cool if global spells only affected the plane they're cast on.

>>147712390
>>147712552

we can't mod in provnces if not with custom maps, but we can make events that summon armies in our provinces and rewards us if we defeat them.If we can't go to the elemental planes we can have the elemental plane going onto us.

>TFW getting 5 turns while at work

>>147710078

No, no on map planes.

They are always more or less pointless.

Only way I could see planes as a good idea is if there were spells that allowed interaction with them offmap. Like you open a portal to a plane of fire and it can give certain results, things like that.

>>147716841
So like what >>147713054 suggested?

>Open portal to plane of fire
>Fire plane event fires off
>Failure increases chance for portal to go haywire and continuously let out fire elementals

It could be just like the arena fight except against a guardian or something.

How the hell am I supposed to expand as Kailasa?

No matter what I try I always seem to take a lot of attrition and have to reinforce my expansion parties every 2-3 turns, slowing down my roll significantly. Am I supposed to take a bless for their shitty sacreds to expand, or just give up and grab an Erf Snek?

To save the thread from being dead, what would you like to be included in a wish mod (aka a mod which only adds new things you can wish for)

>>147723968
And before anyone asks, yes it can be done, using that if you wish for something that is a units name then it appears, so short lived units to trigger events named for instance "growth" or "waifus" allow you to wish for growth and waifus.

>>147724604
It was agreed by the admin who was Arco, due to him messing up and them staling from turn 1.
Given I'm the reason Arco went AI, and I shared with others, it's a different situation.

I'll find and link the post when I can be bothered.

>>147724740
Okay, but now that I've gone and invested in mercenaries and gotten my armies moving I'll feel kind of stupid and cheated if I call off the siege now.

>>147710078
While the concept is really nice, the AI is still really bad at actually playing the game even if you give it a huge pretender chassis and fistfuls of gems to play with.

HOWEVER, what I could totally see happening is a whole bunch of pre-scripted battles that are designed to be really difficult to beat, but not unfair (IE, no 20x RoS casts on the first turn) which give rewards that might be otherwise unobtainable (Units, Supercasters, SC chassis, gems, items).

Accessing planes should be possible with (semi-rare) sites on the main map, or with high-cost, high-path ritual casting that open permanent gates, which might have other effects on the province they're used in, or nearby provinces.

So yeah, I would like to see planes in Dom4.

>>147724945
It would automatically cast 'Astral Purity' global enchantment which would result in angel attacks on mages casting Blood rituals/forging Blood items, thus making the game much more pleasant for everyone involved.

>>147725075
Immortality is the one which may be problematic, as there's no way to tag who cast the wish, though it could assume whoever has astral 9+ did it. Even then, it'd just transform them into a generic immortal body, I'll think on how to make that better.

>>147718538
>>147725297
Yes, you take a bless for your shitty sacred troops, because that bless will, in the lategame, also apply to your absolutely retarded sacred summons.

>>147725520
> Even then, it'd just transform them into a generic immortal body

Nothing wrong with that, wish has plenty of useless wishes(and the game itself has plenty of useless spells and units).

It's just nice to have more options.

sum1 is a chill guy, but I honestly don't care about his mod.

You're in charge of making a Dominions 4 movie where 6 nations will duke it up with each other. You'll have to cast the nations for the following roles

-The beginning antagonist who is actually being used by the real antagonist
-The real big bad antagonist
-The confident nation that gets curbstomped to show just how strong the real antagonist is
-The seemingly good nation who will make a pact with another but actually betray it for its own interest (the alliance may or may not be with the previous one)
-The bro tier nation who will sacrifice itself to save/help protagonist nation
-Protagonist nation

Who do you cast? Which age do you choose?

>>147727098
>-The beginning antagonist who is actually being used by the real antagonist
C'tis
>-The real big bad antagonist
Ermor.
>-The confident nation that gets curbstomped to show just how strong the real antagonist is
Berytos
>-The seemingly good nation who will make a pact with another but actually betray it for its own interest (the alliance may or may not be with the previous one)
Arcoscephale
>-The bro tier nation who will sacrifice itself to save/help protagonist nation
Marverni
>-Protagonist nation
Ulm

>>147727098
Of course shit deserves a trylogy for each Era. So for EA:
>-The beginning antagonist
Sauro
>-The real big bad antagonist
Lanka
>-The confident nation
Oceania or some other UW shit
>-The seemingly good nation
Ermor
>-The bro tier nation
Arco
>-Protagonist nation
Machaka

Now that was fun.

>>147724740
Really vines, I'd like an answer here, do you want me to call off the siege? Because that'd be a huge pain in the ass. I'm submitting my turn soon but I'm open to the idea of revising it.

>>147727098
I was writing my own but it was more or less >>147727567 so whatever. The lore of EA C'tis and Ermor fits what you've got there pretty good and people like noble barbarian type stuff so Ulm are cool heroes.

Anyone have a full download for Ragnarok Comes? The only link I've found is just the map file, and also doesn't want to work.

>Isidore of Seville [7th century CE] (Etymologies, Book 12, 2:12-13): The Greek word rhinoceros, meaning "with horn in nose," refers to the same beast as the names monoceros or unicorn [Isidore does not distinguish between them]. This is a four-footed beast that has a single horn on its forehead; it is very strong and pierces anything it attacks. It fights with elephants and kills them by wounding them in the belly. The unicorn is too strong to be caught by hunters, except by a trick: if a virgin girl is placed in front of a unicorn and she bares her breast to it, all of its fierceness will cease and it will lay its head on her bosom, and thus quieted is easily caught.

Do unicorns have an extra nose on their forehead or something?

stop recruiting lesser mages.
"compress" your research mages by ensuring every not major mage has a lightless lantern.
alchemize every fire gem that doesn't need to be made in lightless lantern.
try to sell items and gems to other players ( you can make great deals if you have finished researching and want to sell lanterns to players who fell behind).
look for all your provinces and gather crappy units, suicide them.

and of course going to war is still the top option when your income is struggling: it's clear that you won't grow any faster than your opponenets in the future so it's time to reap.
Every troop and mage loss will free up your income, so you are more likely to be ok with risking a small army of mage going into war and taking unimportant provinces by spamming water lementals and crappy spells.

Scepticism doesn't mean atheism. He might say perfectly reasonable things like "hey, what if our god is just a peasant who found 50 fire gems and learned to do magic?". And he will be right in most cases. Pantokrator created the whole metaplot revolving around him, that's why he fucked all female pretenders, sired half of the monsters in the world, and chained another half in the underworld. Basically, the true god is the one who can control reality of the world in its whole, pretenders are just magically/physically powerful mages.

>>147809626
that's not a correct way to view it:

pantokrators are not very special or godlike.
They are just big mages who went into politic.

One is free to disagree with their policies and ideologies. and let's be honest: despite being really potent aspirant pantokrators just lie about their stature to their followers and skeptics just don't like that.they know you are bullshitting.

>>147809813
>pantokrators are not very special or godlike.

>I dunno man, being able to create an entire divine being with just a thought and being able to banish everything and give everyone immortality or special abilities to others sounds godlike to me.
Any peasant with 500 astral pearls can do it. Magic is the primal force of the world that has no a priori connection to the divine. Magic can be used to aqcuire godhood (and most archmages/liches etc essentially do it), but it doesn't mean that every mage is a god. Pretendership is like an election entry fee, and that's basically it.

Can peasants really create a titan?

Even if they could, it's the difference between doing it with 500 astral pearls and just by accidentally thinking about it.

Yes it's an election, and this election makes you a god. Faith has direct influence over the world, some pretenders exist solely because people thought they existed(Fetish Idol)

>>147809626
The text doesn't specify what they are skeptical towards. Even if the sceptic agrees that a pretender exists and is a god, said sceptic could still easily make a number of arguments that you should not go so far as to worship him.

Whether or not a pretender is a god is very arguable too, they're clearly not omnipotent nor omniscient.

>>147809789
>hey, what if our god is just a peasant who found 50 fire gems and learned to do magic?". And he will be right in most cases
Not even close.

Firstly, human mages make up a very small selection of the available pretenders. Most of them are ancient leftovers from the times back when the pantokrator was still around.

Secondly, it's much more likely that human mages in dominions learn their magic paths rather than empowering. Empowering seems to be an extremely expensive shortcut, which is only possible when you have a nation behind you feeding you resources. Further, if you consider the ages of recruitable human spellcasters, gaining a single level in fire magic looks to require years of study.

Thirdly, human mages almost always have way higher paths than just F1. Many will have multiple paths at 4+, where a single path at even close to that level is typically the work of a lifetime for humans.

>>147810271
>Pantokrators are gods not pretenders.
It's implied that the pantokrator left long before the game actually 'starts'. Only the oldest beings are likely to have firsthand knowledge of those times.

Pretenders are the closest thing to the pantokrator which a philosopher will see or hear about.

>>147814020
Ice shield will not prevent your mage from acting - it does the same thing as flying shield. Which means a 50% chance of acting as a 20-prot shield parry, in case you didn't know how flying shield works.

I've heard Basalt kings can make acceptable SCs. They're a bit expensive for a thug in my opinion, especially being cap-only.

>>147815989
So it worth casting then? I'm not really knowledge about SC or thugs. Are 5 buff spells too many?

>>147816297
>So it worth casting then?
Maybe, depends.

On the positive side, it's probably the most effective form of protection against physical attacks which is available to Basalt Kings, and it lacks downsides (unlike ironskin, stoneskin, liquid body).

On the other hand, a Basalt King with some form of armor plus a vine shield generally doesn't need any extra protection against physical attacks. It's also not usable outside the water, and I don't see much need for Atlantis to use SCs underwater.

Generally I'd drop it in favor of more useful buffs (or even just leaving the slot open for reduced fatigue), but if I was fighting enemies with especially nasty melee attacks I could see myself using it.

>Are 5 buff spells too many?
Depends on a lot of factors. You want to be back at 0 fatigue quickly if possible, because fatigue is very bad for thugs or SCs.

In most cases, 5 spells will be too much for thugs. Usually you won't even have 5 useful spells for a thug to cast anyway.

SCs can usually handle 5 spells, but it depends how much fatigue the spells cause, how much reinvigoration they have, and how well protected from physical attacks the SC is. I'd probably start getting worried if your SC isn't back to zero fatigue within 10 turns from the end of the buff cycle.
