MA game because there's been plenty of LA and EA lately. 4 players so far, starting with 10 minimum but 12 is preferred. Probably 2 UW max, more than that and there isn't really enough room for them.

>>152778790

I thought our pretenders would fuck it up since they were made with the mods. But perhaps it doesn't matter, since the mods doesn't modify pretenders?

>>152779089
I am quite sure only Summod affects pretenders so it would not be an issue. I know for sure WH does not, so removing WH would not be a problem.

As it is the admin removed ME instead, I don't think that will cause problems either but since everyone seems to prefer ME to WH anyway, might as well go on the safeside.

>>152779238
Ah shit this reminds me. I'm not actually 100% sure I designed my pretender with summod enabled. Does the mod change anything with LA Abysia, like scales or anything, because if so I might have fucked it up.

>>152780746

>>152780746
I think Summod changes a few costs, so maybe. Just enable summod and recreate your pretender, you'll see if anything changed. You can always just send in the new one and it will override the old one.

Ahh, so we back to the beginning

How many gems of overcast are usually enough to make it last a fuckton of time (unless there's a nation casting dispel with gifted pearls of course).
Also considering overriding enchantments and worth of such an overcast of course.

>>152782569
I T D E P E N D S

early game 50 will probably be more than enough, but at late game with all global slots full I have seen spells bouncing with overcast 300 (specially if blood spells are up).

Any specifics?

>>152782569
A few hundred to be safe

Here's a meme.

>>152782809
year 5 Sea of Ice. It will make me completely safe from every player in my game except very late or by Arco, but it will take its sweet time (and seriously, unless i become a threath, and i will with time, it's a waste of pearls for them, they'd better disenchant it than teleport there).
By the way, since i'm retarded, if global slots are full, which global enchantments get overridden first? Does overcasting them protect them from an override if they aren't the "lowest overcast" in the bunch?

I have a couple of newbie questions

1) When they say you should have your first Fort built by the end of the first year, that means I should probably start the construction at like 5 turns in and finish it before Year 1 is over, right?

2) Can someone give me practical examples of Diversity Pretenders? Or do people not use them into the meta in recent times?

From the name/context, I guess they're Pretenders that take paths that their nations generally don't have (especially if their nation is really narrow in magic paths), but how do you leverage that into a bigger or equal advantage compared to bless/scales/etc?

>>152783174
Slot you get is random and overcasting works same way as dispel - your shit gets weighted against incoming global.

>>152783251
For Lemuria.

>>152783279
So, consider this scenario:
>I cast Sea of Ice (normal cost 80) with 200 gems (120 overcast
>Global slots full, other enchantments have 100 overcast
>Someone casts yet another global
What happens in this situation?

>>152783671
Thanks, but could you elaborate on e.g the general game plan, some tricks you can pull off with those paths and so on?

>>152783251
Yes
Diversity pretenders aren't too common since they require a bit of luck and finesse to use, being that you will probably not have a stable source of non national path gem income for a while and diversity pretenders need that to be useful. They vary a lot, but generally they get just high enough paths to forge boosters and then cast important spells (globals, some of the better ritual summons, essential battlemagic for lategame) with those crafted boosters. There's only a few nations that can really get away with diversity pretenders in general, though.

>>152781470

That isn't Llamaserver, that's Dominions.

>>152783671
Lemuria is not a good example because of how rigged their scales are
>>152783761
Same thing that happens with every casting resolution. Game choses the order at which spells are resolved (descending or ascending mage ID at random, i think), and then according to that order globals roll against random slots.

>>152783842
>There's only a few nations that can really get away with diversity pretenders in general, though.
I would say any nation that can run a good scales build can run a diversity pretender as well. Which is quite a decent list of nations.

>>152783671
0/10 it's shit

Guys, all the forts on the map went invisible, as did the flags indicating who owns which territory.
What the fuck is this? Is it a hotkey I accidentally pressed? How do I make forts and flags visible?

>>152783761

1d5 is rolled, giving a result from 1 to 5.

The global taking whatever slot just got rolled has it's gems overcast by + 5*caster level + 1d6 compared to the new global's gems overcast by + 5 * caster level + 1d6.

The one with the higher result takes the slot. Or keeps the slot.

If it keeps the slot, noone except the caster of the new global attempt will ever know.

>>152783251
For Ermor.

Now, mostly people take rainbows for sitesearching/new path access. Lemuria is a good example of a shitty nation that doesn't have sacreds (except mages and maybe centurions which nobody summons anyway), so it makes sense to make a pretender that has paths that you miss. In case of Lemuria, every fucking path in existence. With that >>152783671 you gain access (with boosters, obviously) to N4, F2-3 (enough for a flame spirit), A5 (enough for anything air-related including air queens), W5 (same), E5 (same), D999 (enough for utterdark/tarts etc). Additionally, it gets you access to great combat spells like Rain of Stones and Foul Vapors. And all that on an immortal chassis which greatly augments your already immortal mages.

There's definitely almost no point of making a rainbow for Ermor, because dual/tribless will win you any game. I already won enough with that, so I like to experiment.

Of course, only Lemuria and Ermor have that many path points for this kind of shit, so most other nations are much more restricted in that matter. Usually you'll want rainbows on nations with high scales. And out of combat.

>>152784229

That's pretty bad honestly, you should go with something like this instead. A B10 fountain of blood gives you the bless you need, as well as the capability of really pushing you into blood which will catch everyone by surprise, and thanks to Ermor's massive expansion potential blood slaves will come quick and plentiful.

>>152783671
What kind of scales do you have with it? Looks like you can't afford magic-3 luck-3 while having high dominion score: I haven't tried my hand in playing Lemuria yet but sacrificing those scales seems a bit unpleasant.

Ultimately, of course, the idea is the same as F1A2E2S6D7 (with dom8) Lich Queen that I've been looking into trying out, with small adjustments. The big difference is astral in favour of more water and earth: as I see it, astral lategame is more reliable than N/W/E/A since, being Lemuria, you pretty much lose the race to elemental royalty and such like by default and Rings give same kind of diversity options as elemental staves while using a type of gem you'll have in greater abundance.

>>152785820
I do. It's quite possible to win MP game with a little bit of skill and luck, even if your build is shit. Especially on a nation like Lemuria where it doesn't really matter what you pick since neither scales nor blesses really matter.

I think you have it wrong, he's saying it's bad now since he can't defend it being good. That does not mean he never thought it was good, especially considering he says he's won with the pretender.

Post good Ermor and Lemuria builds.

Is Sea of Ice (with a big overcast value) good for protection in MP? Do human players usually teleport inside your watery domain with ease or is their only "not a waste" way to attack me a dispel?

>>152787237
In MP nobody fucking cares about irrelevant UW nations.

>>152787237
Being a water nation is a protection in MP.

Unless your opponent can ship an entire army of storm demons/living mercury underwater + strong water magic, you are pretty much untouchable by the grace of having more mages and all that sweet water magic. Living water spam from a bunch of your cap onlies will stop most lesser armies.

>>152787331
So in your experience people don't try to bother with underwater conquest in MP?
So they'd never actually waste resources to kick my sorry ass and teleport tons of stuff there, right?

Both with summod.

>>152787226

Summod or no?

If you're playing without Summod as Lemuria, you pretty much HAVE to take your pretender awake, because you have no mages and need to empower a starting commander at least twice before you can get any.

Which is a criminal waste of death gems on a nation that needs death gems for fucking everything.

>>152789280
Drain life gives health to lifeless casters, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

>>152789145
Nope, i play single player and have a fucking blast.
Rapid turns, roleplaying instead of min-maxing and an AI that, while waaaay inferior to humans, is still better than the highest AI of most strategy games. Sounds like a recipe for fun to me, but i can't deny that MP, while taking a longass time and sometimes being frustrating, are where the most satisfaction comes from in terms of effort/reward.

>>152789145
Playing against AIs isn't fun when you've tasted the thrill of ducking it out with your fellow scrubs. Also, unless you do blitzes all the time, you don't actually have to do all your turns in a row in MP, so you got time to think about your strategy, or to do something that isn't Dominions when you got no turns awaiting.

Goddammit Ys you promised me 200+ supply in the province, it barely has 100. All my shit is starving holy shit.

>>152782569
if it's a gem generator and you put it up early(first 3 years), while you are not warring a nation with lot of S or a S god, you can just overcast it by like 15 and just recast it for way more if it gets dispelled way later into the game.

it also depends on who you are.
If pangea cast mother oak no one wants to risk a dispel, because Pangea get so many N gems that they might have overcasted by a lot, while if you cast a global of a gem that is not of one of your nation biggest paths, people might think you had few gems of that type.
no one would , for example, expect caelum to ever want to overcast by more than 50 a E global, so it's safe to try to dispel it, at least in the midgame.

that would be very good but i menaged to start it way later in all my games and no one ever punished me.
it also depends on what nation you are.
i would say you need to start it before turn 10, and if your nation is quite weak early game or rely on high resource troops, you should try to do it sooner.

>but how do you leverage that into a bigger or equal advantage compared to bless/scales/etc?

there are several sites hidden in your lands ready to produce nature, death, astral, fire gems as soon as you discover them. a God that has the paths to search it or can summon a mage with those paths is valuable.
There are several spells that can win you a battle and you really only need one mage to cast, and it can be the defining battle of your first 1-2 wars.
Flaming arrows, storm, or even a really good scaling evocation can be strategically good. Special summons are good too ( example: look at caelum national summons or some scaling fire summons).
for lategame high nature always has nice globals if there are free global slots, D7 summons tartarian which are reaaaally good lategame, high blood or blood + death can let you summon quality troops lategame, high astral let you cast wish and forge the superboosters rings which let your nation reach multiple summons and battle spell.
Scales are good, but lategame are only good if your nation can obtain good mages and troops out of their cap with gold.
Some nations may consider taking a worse bless that gives them interesting spells to cast , as long the bless is still usable.
Most of the time you are ok with getting to other magical paths slowly with empowering/summons and just default to pick the best bless and scales.

One thing doesn't exclude another, but fun shit is funnier when it actually works instead of being just a clown act or a meme.

Is summon stormpower still castable even if the storm is not up, or will the AI just not cast it?

I'm thinking because of casting order, there is no guarantee that storm will be cast first. What happens if you turn 1 summon stormpower and the other mages cast it before storm comes out?

>>152797261
Your cast order is literally the order of your mages in the troops menu. The guy on the top casts storm, the guys at the bottom cast storm power. And no, it's not castable without storm even in vanilla. Or are you talking about Caelum AoE stormpower? Because then I have no fucking idea.

Is it a waste to build a temple/lab setup in every province?
I just sort of fantasize about putting wizard stacks in all of them.

>>152797261
they don't cast it as far as i know.
casting order is known. just press y on the province the battle will take place and the order you see the commanders iwll be casting order.
careful that it will display both commanders in and out the fort.

>>152797461

Is there any way to modify the order in the troop menu, or is that just random?

>>152797461
>Or are you talking about Caelum AoE stormpower?
Is this some Magic Expanded shit or something?

>>152797261

Casting order is entirely deterministic.

Press Y on the province your army is moving to. Orders are executed from the top downwards, by commander.

>>152797604

Sorry for the bump, burdrider

C'tis, you just took a province called Old Giant Woods right next to my capital. Can we work out a deal to allow me to have it?

>>152800020
I am Therodos and would be perfectly happy if you went AI or something so I have DOMINION OF THE SEAS because holy shit i fucked up really, really hard on literally turn 1.

Speaking of NGF here are the pretenders.

Thanks to llamabeast for referring me to red_rob, and to red_rob for doing some experimenting, it looks like we now have more useful info on the error!
In case you didn't see red_rob's post, it seems that this is a unique error that only happens when summod, ME, and WE are all in the same pbem together, presumably causing some kind of overload on the server since it seems to work in sp just fine.

I've remade the game without worthy heroes as he suggested.

>>152802691
>tfw always the one without a memename

>>152801127

Call it 200 gold, and it's yours. Just 1PD at the moment. I'd appreciate you leaving off taking it until next turn so I don't completely cut off my retreat route if those mercs bounce off a set of indies though.

>>152802474

Into amber clan.

I'd like to try my first MP game, can i join? Or are all the slots taken/it's an expert players game? Also, do i just install those mods and put them in my mod file, create a pretender and send it to the server to join?

So, apparently ME is back for Latus, and WH is gone.

>>152803328
It's my very first time playing therodos. It is not the best start.

>>152803392

Crone obviously.

5 games left that needs subs for a week!

>>152802739

Have you reported the findings to llama as well? Perhaps he can solve it.

>>152803892
Good. Now to start before Christmas.

>>152802956
Sure thing. I'll send the gold on the next turn as well

>>152803589
I don't consider it an expert game at all. I'm mediocre at best, though I can't speak for the others since we're all anonymous here.
I'm not sure if everyone who joined plans to join again, or even if the past remakes have had the same players.
I'd say you might as well just join for now. If a previous joiner makes himself heard and you want to give him his spot back I can always just delete your pretender anyway.

>do i just install those mods and put them in my mod file, create a pretender and send it to the server to join?
Yes, after that the game will automatically load the correct mods when you enter the game so you don't have to enable different combinations of mods every time you take a turn.

Also don't forgot to download the map.

>>152804140
I haven't but that's a good idea, I'll send him a reply with the new info.

Is it worth popping out a StR H3 at the start of a game just so you can prophet him to H4?

Or worth waiting a few turns and get the prophet later?

>>152804996
Sounds good to me, just let me know when and if i have to fuck off, others had the priority anyway.
Just 5 minutes to download everything and set up stuff and i'll join.

>>152805079
You can always just get your prophet killed if you have recruitable H3s.
Fanaticism can be pretty key for some nations though.

>>152804996
>>152805545
Do i have to put everything i've downloaded in the mods folder? Or just the folder with the jargon (so no pdf of magic mode enhanced etc)
Also, where can i download the map?

>>152805982
Are there any recruitable or summonable H4s that can be propheted?
Or is divine channeling only available through priest communion?

>>152806296
Heros of some nations, also getting a prophet into the hall of fame, it dying, ritual of rebirth and repropheting works if the base chasis is H3

>>152805079

It depends. Stuff like LA C'tis, Asphodel, Nazca? Can definitely benefit from propheting one of their high holy undead. Ermor and Lemuria too.

Marignon H3s? Not so much.

>>152806207
Put the .dm file in mods and also put the folder with the .tga files in mods.

>>152806207
Just unzip it and find where the .dm file is. If you drop the .dm file and everything in the same folder as the .dm file into your mods folder you should be safe.

I thought the map had a download link on llama just like the mods but I guess not. If nobody has posted a link by the time I get back I'll just upload it myself.

>>152806296

Priest communion, for the most part. There's also three Const8 holy boosters, and I believe Mari can get like Holy 12 stuff with transformation on those multiform angel summons.

>>152806735
Mods are set up, i don't know where to get the map though, in the llamia's page there were links to the mods but not to the map.

Done, I don't remember changing it honestly

>>152809445
If I cast something like sleep cloud that lasts multiple rounds, is it a waste to cast it again while it's still in effect? Does it stack if it gets cast on the same area? Will the caster attempt to put a new one down covering a different area?

>>152808867
You don't get why B10 blood fountain with POSITIVE scales is a bad idea for MA Ermor?

>>152810038
>>152809445

woops sorry didn't mean to reply to that post

>>152810038
The spellcasting AI will try to hit a different area usually. However if it hits the same area it refreshes the duration. It might stack, haven't tested that extensively.

>>152810598
Oh it refreshes the duration? That's interesting, I never even considered it would do that.
I thought maybe it would just create a separate cloud and all areas covered would only count as being under the effects of one even if they overlapped.

Who is your prime Arena contender and what equipment do you equip?

Hard mode: No pretenders

>>152810108
Lol I mean I see where you're going but I thought that Ermor provinces have living people who die and become skeletons.

>>152812134
Early on I don't think an Oni General is really beatable. It'll either be spamming skeles or mildly geared with buffs and good stats

>>152810598
Doesn't stack, the more powerful effect overwrites the lesser one, or if they're the same, the duration is refreshed.

This is my secondary choice desu

Well, I've given everyone an opening to strike at Sauro, and can continue doing so, provided people actually act upon it.
He's forted all his shit though, and if I can barely fight on land, I really can't take forted stuff from one of the great land powers. I can continue harassing him for a little while, but if no reaction is garnered, you're all on your own.

This is stupid. The gold gen is an interesting idea though.

And so, as the clock strikes midnight, Latus 3 begins.

May the one true pretender have mercy on our souls.

>>152833570
Also kill lemuria. That's good too.

>>152833649
Kill Lemuria, and whoever spawns in the blood plane, especially if its Ragha or Xibalba. Those are on other sides of the map, so it shouldn't be fucking hard.

>>152833910
Even if a complete shitter lands in blood plane he's still pretty much guaranteed to last till late game.

That advantage is too big.

Even worse if it's Ragha, I didn't even know what I've been walking into in Flatus 1 and i was almost done killing my nearest neighbor before game ended even though i memed it up by not taking a bless.

Global wise, the squids probably.

Landwise, either Abysia or Arco but it's hard to say since Arco only showed how big Abysia's expansion was, but obviously not for itself.

>>152842132
So you're saying:
#1 - Sauro
#2 - R'lyeh
#3/4 - Abysia/Arco

That might be accuratish in terms of threat in actually *winning*, but squids are certainly bigger than Sauro in all but research . . . which would be much more relevant had they been . . . pretty much any other nation.

>>152817876
Hmm, it seems someone is extremely ill informed about the state of the world. Killing some PD with your golems isn't exactly a war, but hostile action is hostile action, so I guess you can call it a war. As for Pan, you seem to be under the impression that me and Pangaea are not having a friendly skirmish on or borders for fun.

Pangaea alerted me that he wanted to have an army clash last turn, and this next turn when we have our prepared armies, we will send them at each other and see who come out on top with our current compositions.

If I win, Pangaea will be giving me a prize of Fire Gems. If he wins, then I would be happy to give him some Death Gems and trade some death boosters to him. It is only fair after all.

>Killing some PD with your golems

Look man, I'm R'lyeh, I don't know what you expected. I have about as much chance of fighting you on land as you do of fighting me in the water, and we both know it.
I can distract you, maybe even bother you, but I decided to give other nations an opening to not get knocked down one by one. If they take it, fantastic, we won't have to repeat All Yesterdays Agartha, except with Sauro instead. If not, well . . . they chose their fate. Sadly nothing I can do.

>>152842809
You're miles ahead in RP and Forts over all but R'lyeh, and a contender in all other graphs at around 3rd or 4th.
Abysia and Arco aren't incredibly far off behind you, but you're still solidly #2 (after Squids). It isn't enough that you're some super stupid spooky snowball though.

>>152841138
In a memegame like this, freespawn and summons tend to be more important then recruited troops. See: Flatus Lemuria

R'lyeh has also recieved a lot of buffs over recent patches, and this is summod which gives them additional buffs. Summod R'lyeh is nowhere near the unwinnable mess that R'lyeh used to be (still a weak nation, though).

Don't discount his massive advantage in provinces just because he's playing a relatively weak nation, and actually check what R'lyeh has available rather than going by the old knowledge of it being useless on land.

>>152846564
Polyspawn have issues breaking forts on land, and forting ALL THE THINGS seems to be the meme for this game.

>>152846886
You'd be surprised at how low many players are on forts. It's like having thousands of gold every turn quickly into the game isn't enough to deliver some spicy fortress memes.

>>152851473
Relatively speaking.

It's just that when you can pin a specific name to everything that's being said, it's easy to start drama. Like how ever few weeks /domg/ focuses on a certain player being awful for some reason (Rejakor, Cirno, Okofire, whatever...) which never seems to stem from /domg/ itself, it's just spillover from Steam.

there is only One player who starts the drama or is the reason the drama has been started.

If that One player would stop starting shit, the chat would be quiet and civil, talking about the game or joking about politic.

What nations are you looking at?

>>152852438
Not me, I need to get a haircut.

>>152852760
Not him but I imagine we'd do what we've done all the other times: Everyone picks a nation they want and tell the admin, the admin consolidates them into one mod, we play.

>>152852737
Show me at least one decent non-Warhammer mod nation.

>>152853575

Nertia and other nations by that guy, not OP in any way and very well made.

>>152853575
The question was who would want to play them, not if you like them. Anyway Plavendel, Smerv, and Ledan are the first ones off the top of my head.

>>152853658
They are boring to play though.
>>152853718
I agree, those three look nice, but they seem OP as fuck, especially Ledan.

>>152853751
If you're interested in balance, don't play modnation games.

>>152853806
Don't worry, I won't.

>>152853852
Then what are you whining about?

>>152853898
Just trying to stop people from having the wrong kind of fun.

Well, then, don't do that.

>two games just started with ME1.1 and 1.2 released now

Fuck

>>152854239
Noticed that too, http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=GinnungagapREBIRTH should definitely use it.

>>152854239
have fun with nether things.

>>152842297
> but squids are certainly bigger than Sauro in all but research

You gotta take those stats with context. The ocean is pretty big and it has to be split between 4 players ( now 3). Meanwhile the land has to be split between dozen other players. Being #2 at provinces and forts on land is 10x more valuable than being #1 at provinces and forts underwater, because it's a lot harder.

tl;dr the best nation on land is stronger than the best nation on water, even if statistically the best nation on water has more gold.

Hmm, so it appears there is still a problem with Llamaserver running multiple large mods together. I've uploaded Magic Enhanced 1.2 and the Summod compatible version to the Llamaserver and run a couple of test games to make sure they are working.

Everything seems to have uploaded fine, however if you try to run either with Summod the server crashes when processing the turn. I've emailed Llama to see if he can identify the issue, hopefully this is something that can be fixed to allow games using both mods.

>>152856715
So:
>Summod 0.65D + ME1.2 = crash
>Summod 0.65D + ME1.1 + WH = crash
>any other combination = works fine

>>152856919
Pretty much. I'm guessing there is some kind of limit to the amount of mod code Llamserver will read. ME 1.2 is big enough that it and Summod 0.65d together hit the limit.

I'm hoping it is something that can be fixed on Llama's end and not something inherent to the server. Magic Enhanced and Summod together are almost twice the size of the old CBM mod so I'd guess this just hasn't been an issue previously.

>>152851975
The issue is the latest patch changed the order that #firstshape and #landdamage applied in.

Search the mod for the monsters with the name "Dead" and assign them a sprite (just #cpyspr 1 works)

>>152857854
Thanks

>>152857269
Did you fix the atlantian sacred summoned wolves having 5 attacks?

Is it a good idea to have your pretender enter the void, or is that just too much of a gamble? A pretender with void sanity, of course.

>>152858869
Results are based on summoning level, the 2 path starspawns start with higher summoning.

>>152858482
Actually, they never did in game, only in the Inspector.

Weirdly adding the Consume Soul attack removed the claw and bite in-game even without using #clearweapons, so I had to re-add them. As they were never formally removed the inspector showed them twice. I've tidied it up so it displays correctly in the inspector now.

I've been emailing Llamabeast to try to nail down the server crash error, he's sent me one of the turns that fails and it processes correctly on my laptop. Llama has also emailed JK to see if he can shed some light on things.

Any updates on the community clash? Has it been abandoned yet?

>>152859503
It seems that illuminati got Admin. He went silent.

>>152859207
Okay, that's the strangest bug yet, and it's not even abusable to make neat stuff.

>>152858869
Well first off you'll want to have void sanity on your pretender, 10 will do but 20 is better. Chances of your void lord being attacked are pretty low, chances of being attacked by something that can kill it are lower still (this doesn't mean impossible however, I've had it happen on the first turn). Assuming you did pick a void lord, I think it's worth doing, after all in the rare case you do lose him, LA R'lyeh freespawns priests.

What

Atlantis, you can forget that I will pay you money for your pretender AND the province when it was a bump in a indie province you never said you wanted.

>>152861778
What? How did that happen.

>>152861778
Sorry, I meant utgard.

>>152862068
You're Utgård anon, not Midgård.

Doesn't explain why you can't see a nation in the turn, though.

>>152861628
that's what you see when there trn file in the folder is absent or perhaps bugged.

Did you just do a scrubgen turn? It's the same turn 1 problem as nat-gen but in reverse if you do a turn 1 after a nat-gen turn.

>>152862703
I thought that bug had been fixed
