THE WHEEL HAS TURNED AGAINst my anus[soiler]

Any advice ? It's my first MP game since doms3 and I don't know how to deal with asshole batman

Does assassination have a particular order in which it targets commanders or is it purely random

>>151812162
Do you have an awake pretender? Because if it's Cataclysm you're basically fucked against him if you don't. You can try telling him that you're new to this, and asking to find another target, but that's unlikely to work.

I think your only hope might be finding some sites with strong troops and commanders, and start patrolling like crazy.

>>151812162
It depends on how early in the game it is. Generally speaking, in the early game he'll die to PD if he gets caught but there's little that you can do to make your mages win the duel.

Barring a pretender that can fight it, your best bet is to bring in the cheapest commanders you can from outside your cap and patrol to catch him out. You still lose out a lot - 4 indy commanders with militia is already 720 gold, but it should reliable catch and then kill him.

>>151812207
random

Looking for a sub for Memegeddon Lanka. The 2nd largest player atm, but not enough time for a game that honestly doesn't interest me atm in the least, and would rather not cause too much craziness by going AI.
Somewhere around 65-75% the size/power of bats I'd estimate.

>>151812323

I WILL NOT BEG FOR MY LIFE

I WILL KILL THE BATMAN

>>151812162
Hey guy, sorry about this but it's my first time with Batman too (seriously check his paths I fuged up on pretender design).

I would move on but it looks like I could run into a snek, and if others are expanding as well as I am they'll be able to rustle up some noice indy commanders. Bashing your cap and beelining for that sweet income/blood slavery haven ia possibly my only way to stay equivalent in the game and balance out my half baked batman.

Starting set up now, I've admined a few games but never a disciples one, help would be appreciated. I'll sit out of playing for the sake of /domg/'s chances of winning.

>>151815747
any other communities we can get involved? Do Liquid still have games going?

>>151815842
How will we distinguish aussies from non-aussies? By shitposting quality? Actually, it's so silly it might just work.

We also need to decide how the "tournament" will be structured. My suggestion:

To have 3 matches (at the same time), 1 for each era. People nominate themselves for one or several tiers. Other dudes from the community vote for the participants. Then the games play out and the dankest team wins. Might be a single team too. And subbing will be easy as piss, as there are a lot of people in all communities. If we won't have enough players (or teams), we can form 2 teams for each community (excluding aussies because come on now).

>>151815935
Russian community has its own Steam group, and I know their strongest players. I can contact them.

>>151816184
Please do, use the email I provided for correspondence

>>151816109

3 games at once might be a little much to organize, I might just go for one in EA. I'm going to allow nation bans followed by sequential picks, with middle pick getting to choose the map.

Should /domg/ and /v/anheim have dedicated teams? I mean, there's like 90% overlap but still. Or should we make a Steam group team and a completely anonymous team of shitters?

>>151817391
yes please, what would be a good team size, 3? 4?

My spies managed to get graphs from Chimori. Some other nations for comparison.

The battle for my cap will be this turn, though even if I win it I doubt I'll win the next one. I hope at least most of you faggots are working on removing bats and not backstabbing eachother.

>>151817962
As above, either fight bats or they win, if you aren't committed to removing bats you might as well just give him all your thrones.

>>151817903
If we're going for 2 teams per community, 3 players would be optimal. It allows for some strong combos but doesn't necessarily transform some nation compositions into superpowers. If we have 1 team from /domg/, 1 from /v/anheim, 1 from dom3mods, 1 from russian community, 1 from aussies (if it's not a joke), that would be 6 teams and 18 players. A bearable number of people for a disciple game. We can also try t contact Goons, I think. Alternatively, double the number of teams per community and get something like 8-9 (depending on aussies) teams with 24-27 players.

>Explicitly stated gem/gold trades are binding, but nothing else.


Why?

>>151818783
Because that's how 99% of people play this game, you silly.

>>151818783
You mean you want binding diplomacy? What kinda fag wants that?

>>151818819
>>151818848

Breaking trades are part of the game

>>151818903
A part of the game that quickly replaces you by an AI. I know you're trolling, so cut it out.

>>151818963
Demanding trades be binding is just as autistic as demanding non-agression pacts be binding.

For some inexplicable reason one is widely accepted and the other is the butt of every joke.

>>151819283
Because one protects you from meming anonymous chucklefucks who would take your gems and disappear, and allows ACTUAL TRADE to happen, and the other is just Desura-tier carebearing. It's the community's fault that Illfraud didn't make trading mechanics.

>>151819283

Granted, I've only started playing MP.

But as a newbie I thought it was really weird too, though desu I don't really care.

I'd rather not be scammed, and I'm not a shitfag who's going to scam people in game so it's a net win for me.

>>151819409
Both are carebearing tbesu fampai

>>151818619
https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=3050

Done.

>>151819623
This, trade still happens with non binding agreements.

>>151819283
Thing is, it doesn't take too many anon's doing this before people stop trading with anons period, and demand steamchat. And then anyone breaking trades could get blacklisted there, from trading entirely.
Mind, some things really seem to skirt the issue - i.e. things like "yeah, give me the pearls, I'll totes dispel BoT". But trades involving purely gems/money/items are quite sacrosanct. Less so when actions (whether they be dispels, attacking someone, not attacking someone) are involved.

>>151819283
Because many kinds of trade just wouldn't happen if people could disappear with your gems.

>>151819683
Has there ever been a game without binding trade agreements?

>>151819821
>Has there ever been a game without binding trade agreements?
I never saw one in my 2 years of MP. I mean, there were games (mostly anonymous) where nobody explicitly said "trade is binding", but I guess even /domg/ has some honor in this matter.

>>151819872
If the games were made on this thread, then nobody has to mention it, because it's a sort of unwritten rule.

>>151819821
I think maybe the 3 Lies game? It was a game where everything was binding, but throughout the course of the entire game you could use one of your 3 Lies to declare your statement a 'Lie', and it was no longer binding.
Not sure if that extended to trading.

>>151820867
>I give all nations at war with me except Man one last chance to return to status quo.

This, though I'm only at war with Man right now, but I see you building up troops on my borders, Abysia. I'm not just going to sit idly by and wait, and you are not getting in a surprise flanking attack while I'm busy with Man because there is little that Man has to keep my busy, even though he probably promised you an easy attack on me while I was distracted. On top of that I'm sure quite a few of your neighbours would like some of your quite awkwardly placed territory.

And yes I know you were scheming with him, because he spilled the beans in the thread that he was speaking with two claiming to be the same nation and asking him to keep it secret. I was one of them, and it's highly unlikely the other was an impostor as well, meaning that was you.

>>151821309

That's some extreme diplo right here.

>>151821430
Assuming you mean our non-aggression pact, troop buildup on my borders plus what Man said make me wary, better safe than sorry. Either of them alone wouldn't make me too paranoid, but combined it sets off a few alarms.

If you uphold the pact, so will I, I'm just saying that if Man promised you I'd be open for attack because I am busy with him, he lied (he of all people should know he had nothing to fight with).

Those shitposters should actually play that game and show everyone how good they are. And probably stale like crazy and leave the game and be insufferable cunts.

I imagine that Steam and 4chan teams should be separate. It's not going to be an anonymous game for a multitude of reasons, and there's 50%-99% of cross-community dudes here, so people would just say who they represent.

Go for it, Abysia! You can tell Asphodel is shaking in his boots with how paranoid he is and how he keeps telling you that attacking him is a bad idea.

If he REALLY had the strength to ward your attack, he'd welcome the unprovoked war as a means to rid the NAP, take your lands, and have a future diplomatic advantage against you by calling you a backstabber!

It's true, skelebro, don't let your guard down until you've killed his summons. Once that happens, you're golden.

>>151833338
I'm not actually Ermor, but I'm looking forward to him moving all his forces to fight skellies.

>>151832504
Yo Agartha I'm not in a position to attack any of those two but I'd like to help, what sort of gems would you be happy to accept?

>>151833419
I'm fine in terms of gems, thank you. If you wish to help, prepare a bouquet of flowers to send to Ermor's last of kin, who'll be kept as skeletoys.

I've played MA Agartha myself, you're just retarded.

Shard guards should let you expand even more quickly because they're far better in combat.

You can't even say >muh resources because shard guards have basically the same cost as Ancient Ones.

Nothing to keep the thread alive like some good old bantz between nations in meme games.

Now I know why the australians do it.

any games recruiting?

>>151834310
In 99 percent of cases, shard guards are the go to choice.
The other 1 percent involves size 4 tramplers though.

If it works...

There's no reason to show off your fancy anti-statue tactics when you can beat them with basic magic.

>>151836919
Agartha doesn't have a pressing need for E2N2 mages. Plus both GoR and Divine Name are hard to access for them.

Anyone got the link with "worthwhile spells for dummies"?

>>151836919
>And now if he's smart those Dusk Elders will march towards your lands and rape every unprotected province.
Tbqh, if Ermor's using his Dusk Elders for spamming skellies, he's not smart at all.

>>151837020
>How's singleplayer treating you?
Don't fool yourself, Pan. You won exactly 0 multiplayer games and you won't win this one even if we kill Ermor.

Does Wind Guide also affect mages?

is COE4 talk allowed here too?

>>151838342
Yes. It's essentially just a battlefield-wide version of the Aim spell.

>>151838503
Sure, it's not as though anyone else is going to talk about it.
It's pretty shit, though.

>>151838503
If you can find anyone willing to discuss it, sure.

We had a few CoE4 multilayer games around the time of release, but afaik most people abandoned it soon after that.

>>151838579

It's alright for a few quick games, but not much more than that.

Singleplayer CoE4 is somewhat more enjoyable than singleplayer Dom4, which isn't saying much, but still.

>>151821731

Thats not a force buildup those are my patrols for blood hunting. Unless you thought I would invade with like 40 dudes...

>>151831821

Really, if I had enough to kill him I wouldn't sign a nap would I now.

I really need gems other than fire and actual research done and shit like that, it is not growing on trees.

Plus not even sure if Asphodel is my target at all, he was very reasonable towards me.

>>151841971
Well I ain't him and can't speak for others but that's usually how I do it if I'm playing blood, small 30-50 armies on the border which I blame on blood hunting, then the main mage army arrives and they all just lump up together. Usually gives the enemy a harder time telling I'm about to attack, or at least he can't tell as soon as he would normally.

>>151841971
Mostly paranoia on my part (also true what >>151842609 said), just wary because I know skeletons are the prime bully targets and I'm in cahoots with Ermor now, but no I won't attack you or anything over small armies patrolling, just that I know for sure Man promised you easy pickings, so I'm naturally wary (he probably promised the same to a few others too).

>>151842110
I have no interest in attacking you, and I can't really see having any anytime soon. As far as I'm concerned our non-aggression pact is as solid as ever, regardless of my paranoias.

If I got 3A what's better, Orb Lightning or TS?

You'll regret it when Aspho will kill Man and Ermor will kill Agartha and you'll be alone againsy 2 of them.

>>151844739
>you'll regret it when x kills y and gets stronger

That literally applies to everyone, regardless the nation. Whenever someone joins a war, if he wins he will (likely) be stronger by the end of it. This logic would lead to a domino effect that would mean everyone would be at war at the first sign of aggression between any two players.

I'm not even Aspho or Ermor, I just know this logic is faulty and used by people with ulterior motives. I use it all the time :^)

Can you trigger Blood Vengeance on yourself?

>>151845401
I... think so

>>151845401
I don't believe so, but you can trigger it off friendly units, so using evocations and a B9 bless could lead to some unintended tragedies if your mages aren't accurate enough.

How the fuck Mari didn't do double turn?

>>151849517
As far as I can tell, it gave everyone turn 69 twice. the first one they sent is the actual turn, and then it redid the turn with no turn files and gave everyone a stale turn. I am just taking the turn that it sent where I didn't stale, and am going to sent that one in.

>>151850821
>I'm just going to send the turn that contradicts what Llamaserver says happened
This crashes the game.

I'm still pretty new, with spellcasting, do you have to have a bonus in both paths to get half the fatigue if it's a spell with 2 paths?

>>151850985
Only the first path counts.

>>151850972
Really? Excellent. Maybe I won't need to go AI after all.

>>151851139
Damn, gonna have to invest in some fire boosters for my banefire spammers then, thanks

>>151851260
>>151851139
No, the main path counts. For banefire, only death levels will help.

>>151851260
Why would you do that? Banefire only requires F1 and you the person you responded to said only the first path counts.

>>151851480
Oh, I'm double retarded then. I thought banefire was a fire spell.

Help a noob out, for year 1 what's best.

1.Secure capring
2.Rush to good fort spot
3.Start building fort
4.Secure fortring

VS

1.Spread in all directions to cover as much land as possible
2.When met neighbors on all sides and ran out of land to take start building forts

>>151851956
All at the same time.

I was toying with the idea of making a mod 2 or so years ago, a mod that would make most battlefielf spells scale with path level so going past 4-5 has actual use apart from the occasional battlefield-wide spell. Make it so a single X7 mage is more useful than 7 X1-2 mages (well, apart from the fact that he is a single target and therefore easier to kill). Perhaps even make empowering a bit cheaper to make it actually viable more often than once in a blue moon.

Thing is, back then the way spell scaling worked made it very hard to scale shit properly (shit was always either too powerful at low path levels or too weak at higher ones). Has the modding API changed in that regard?

>>151850024
they are working together and BoT hurts everyone except for him and Ermor

>>151852143
B-But I don't have enough troops.

>>151851956
>1.Secure capring

this goes always first if the stuff you need to expand needs more resources, otherwise provinces near your cap are the absolute best to reserve for later, possibly the last you take.

otherwise you try to grab as much good land as possible while balancing the need to build a fort the sooner possible. i don't like being too big because that's usually war with your neighbours in /domg/.

you should be able to start one fort before you finish expansion, just be aware of how much can your remaining expansion parties do before building another one.

How good is Eye of Aiming + some crossbow item for taking out enemy commanders with Fire Rearmost?

If I give them to 5 schmucks and put them in the back will they do anything?

Assuming the ideal situation that commanders are farthest back with no bodyguards.

>>151855012
Fire rear is usually worthless ime. But fire fliers if the big mages fly (EA TC) or fire large monsters if the big mages are larger than the units (Fomoria using Nemedians) those are hilarious sometimes.

>>151855593
Fire cav vs TNN works as they have no cav troops but cav mages.

>>151855012

Bow of War will generally be better than any of the magic crossbows. Fires every turn, and more projectiles mean better chances to hit, even if the damage is worse.

>>151858109
The banefire crossbow is nice since it hits an area instead of just one unit.

Looks like MemegeddonIII is fucked. No matter what I send in, it always says it's the wrong file.

Indies don't last long when a F10 pretender is chucking 6+2*10 fireflies. On the other hand if spells are supposed to scale to make higher path levels worth it, they need to be good.

>implying nations with easy sacreds won't be on an instant chopping block

Mictlan and Xibalba are scary if they get to ozelots but arent untouchable until then. Vanheim would be scary early on but cap only would surely limit their ability to fight everyone at the same time.

Giants would be horrifyingly scary after const 2-4 given that you basically get a full set of buffs from a single bless or shroud.

>>151871917
Beastbats and jaguar warriors are massable as fuck, and you don't need to be amazing when you're wearing that much bless. Giants wouldn't be as heavily advantaged due to much smaller numbers, you could make some nice thugs with them but they're also up against hordes of blessed sacreds.

>>151850651
They were not buffed in summod, afaik. I don't understand why people use them either.

>>151871147
>>151871917
Mari would be best nation.

>>151872741
MA Mictlan might even be better, since max-bless Eagle Warriors would utterly destroy backlines.. Nazca would also be scary.

>>151872741
>you could make some nice thugs with them but they're also up against hordes of blessed sacreds.
Which have major problems dealing with SCs and making SC is a lot easier if you've got reinvigregenmr and even extra protection and AP already covered.
Most recruitable sacreds cant really dent high prot, not even under B9 buff.
Ozelotls would though, as demons have great statline.

Though I guess if a couple of people join in, it would at least be more fun to go out with a bang than suffer the awful tedium of this game any longer.

>>151876249

On reflection, the Ape nations would be pretty phenomenal as well. BL has sacreds every fort, even if White Ones aren't great, and you could do some ridiculous shit with E9N9D9 massed communion slaves.

And that's before you start thinking about summons.

>scroll through this thread

Wew, how long did it take for you guys to learn all this shit?
Also, while I'm here, how do I assassinate without a ritual? And is there a guide/summary on independent troops, I had to learn the hard way that some of them aren't total pushovers.

>>151876964
You people are fools for ever joining oredia after what went on in a first one.

>>151877372
I more meant as people to sub in for me. I'm well aware that bats could obliterate you without a thought, they've mentioned several times they wanted to see if they could kill you in 2 turns. 1 to take the provinces, 1 to take the forts.

>>151878783
>how do I assassinate without a ritual
assassins

>>151879027
At this point I'd almost welcome it.

>>151879027
>I more meant as people to sub in for me
What happened to the three people in-thread last night that were going to all play as you at the same time?

>>151879024
The second Oeridia actually managed to cripple bats enough that he could have been potentially removed without too much issue, in part due to his central location.
Of course, the admin of that game came through for Xibalba, and ended the game prematurely.

>>151879150
They haven't shown up at all. Has been literally 0 sign of them.
>>151879024
Honestly, Oeridia is just too damn big. And this coming from a guy who just got out of Flatus.

>>151861218
I would do it but I recently joined a no-Summod game as Ermor and I think I've had my fill of infinite skeletons for the time being.

>>151879383
Did you win?

>>151871065
You might consider that just a consequence of the other goals of your mod. Spellcaster pretenders are neat and awake pretenders other than erfsnek are very neat.

>>151879430
Potentially. It's not certain yet but I have to admit I'm in a strong position.

>>151852315
This is actually already the case in the endgame with stuff like niefel flames, but that is admittedly VERY late in the game

>Thing is, back then the way spell scaling worked made it very hard to scale shit properly (shit was always either too powerful at low path levels or too weak at higher ones). Has the modding API changed in that regard?
It is possible to modify scaling - summod did this with some buff spells that were originally AoE1

>>151871065
You can potentially just add scaling to spells that aren't in level 0 or level 1. Anything past that will mean that your god would need to spend several turns researching before it could help expand, which would make it slower than the erf sneks and so on

>>151879123
TC, come talk to me buddy, I want to help to make this game fun for one of my longest and strongest allies. I'll be on Steam for a while if you have time.

>>151881019
I'm in the chat but Steam is being a bit of a cunt atm.

So yeah, gonna be the last time I ask for a sub, cause the only thing I ever get are crickets or no-shows.

Won't someone save poor Helheim . . .

Also, if Ulm stales again, will either need someone to set him AI, or a sub.

>>151881445
Subs are hard to find at the best of times.

I'm not surprised nobody wants to sub into a memegame.

Also, found this hilarious.
Be more careful with Mr. Awesome there.

Also, would be nice to talk to Helheim while they're still alive.

>>151881668
>Won't someone save poor Helheim . . .
What's happening to helheim?

Why do so many units have both of these traits?
Does gluttony actually do anything here or is it cancelled out by need not eat?

>>151891389
Helheim failed to kill a staling player, made effectively no forts, has low research, hasn't taken the indi's that he is blocking everyone from, has low numbers of troops, has no bless, and currently has all their forts and their capitol under siege so they are not in a position to change any of it.

I decided to fight a person that wasn't fighting anybody instead of ganging up on any of the people next to me that are in a fight with other people.

>>151892171
Raksha and Oni, yes?

It's a fluff thing. Both of them are demons and technically don't need to eat anything to survive, but they gorge themselves silly anyway because they're greedy assholes.

>>151883232
Are you, are you actually eating TNN AND Atlantis at the same time? Why are people letting UW nations eat land nations at this point in the game?

>>151893445
I raided two provinces after being traded in lucrative trade and news deals.
I thought we already established from the Vanheim case that I was the jewfish?

>>151892171
It's actually quite a problem because it means those troops will max out supply limit really fast. Pain in the ass to bring troops that actually need to eat with them, since those will starve and die.

>>151848412
Done.
A 12 player game on Urraparand. Story events on. Summod 0.65c.

I just can't stop playing Pokemon Go.

Wait, when I open Summod .65c It says it has 80 errors. What do?

>>151881668
Only reason I staled was a guy asked for an extension until Tuesday so I wasn't paying attention

Abysia, you around?

>>151897529
Do you have the image files in the right place?

If the errors are things like "can't open XXX.tga" then you probably don't.

>>151883232
Site searching :(

>>151899391
Should have had him on retreat desu.
And squids and whoever the fuck else is with the graphs, can we get them? Pretty please?

Squids Im on for 15 mins if you wanna chat

How useful is recupperation on a pretender? (when playing Giants - large expensive units).

What I mean is does it proc often, like every turn, is it otherwise easy to get through spells ?

>>151902846
It works best for awake expanders. Sometimes you can get nasty afflictions even with regeneration. It heals ROUGHLY 1 affliction per 1.5 turns or so. Never healing wound can heal even slower. I think it's a dice roll of some sort.

Is Der Gotter Agartha around? The new, cool, one. Not the old lame one.

>>151903414

Thanks.

>>151899671
Nothing much should have changed but I'd like to see a graph for Year whatever we're on.
