>>153970710
Actually, I can see that it has full scales, so it has to be.

Anyways, I won't be taking 114, of course, but I would like to take 119 and that crossing area (113-96).

>>153971119
Yes.

Also, in mountains, she gets Mori-No-Kami fo FREE. Those guys are amazing thugs/light SCs and RoS casters, given that they have high prot and ethereal built in.

wew lad, sceleria came back early

>>153975338
>>153977341
I'd say getting four size 4 fire elementals is better than two size 6 elementals, especially since it takes only one turn to cast living fire.

>>153975338
>>153977341
Probably living fire, but as always it depends on what you're facing.

>>153978421
Really? What does it depend on? I can't think of many things that can trivially take down a size 6 fire elemental that can't also take down a size 4 (or, for that matter, anything that has trouble with one having less trouble with the other)

>>153975338
I can't think of any situation where the big fire elemental would be better except in rare cases where you need the extra 6 damage on the flame strike, which doesn't happen often in situations where fire elementals are good (clearing out lots of skeletons, for example)

On the sheet listing the win/loss of nations, wtf does the highlight mean?

>filthy land nation taking muh UW
Bats need to get the fuck out.

>>153978510
Summoning the size 6 elementals causes less fatigue, so your mage can get more evocations off once scripting ends. In magic scales you could even get an extra size 6 elemental, but I'm assuming he's limited by gems since both cases have the same gem cost.

You also would want the extra damage against troops with fire resist and decent protection, though as >>153978524 says fire elementals are a poor choice for that situation.

Size 6 elementals should be more resilient to enemy evocations. 2 size 6 has about the same amount of total hp as 4 size 4, but there are less of them to get hit at once by AoE effects.

Most of these are pretty situational, but I could see them being important for a battle.

>>153979612
Living X is more for caster SCs like kings or pretenders since they can spam it every turn for minimal fatigue.

>>153979609
Hi rlyeh.

And hi Xibalba too

I wonder which one of my neighbours should I be friends with.

>>153979753
Living X is amazing on basically anything which can cast it, even if it really shines on high-path mages.

Wailing Winds is enemy only, right? That's what it says in the spell description, but I wanted to be sure.

H-hello.

lately i've grown into the strategy for most of my nations to not get any mages for the first 8-12 turns or so, and just focus on expansion and getting quick 2nd fort

>>153981261
Extremely bad, I will be certain to rush you if I ever run into you.

>>153981261
>>153981414
Not that bad. I actually tend to not get any mages until turn 6-8 unless i'm really getting a lot of gold.

But turn 12 is probably too much.

>>153979612
How does the heat aura work? Does the number represent fire damage, the radius of the effect, both, or something else?
Also how do temp scales effect it? And is the effect additive or multiplicative?

>>153978109
Did a double too

Xibalba, are you here? It would be great if we could talk about borders.

>>153981261
It's acceptable if you have a very strong earlygame. Otherwise it's way too risky.

>>153983002
Strength of fire/cold auras represents the AoE, but it's number of squares affected (like AoE spells) rather than a radius.

Damage is fixed, I think it's 5 heat/cold stun damage. Multiple auras can hit the same square in a turn though, so large groups with heat aura will cause fatigue very fast.

As far as I know, temperature scales don't directly affect the auras. However, the auras can cause freezing/burning, and stronger temperature scales will cause those debuffs to last longer. Additionally, many units with heat or cold auras have other properties that make them perform best in their preferred scale.

>>153981261

Incredibly stupid, unless you are one of few nations with stupid expensive mages. I could see Hinnom/Garth not recruiting mages a turn or two to afford their mega castles. Everyone else should at least get their cheaper researchers up to keep your research rate rising.

If you literally need every piece of gold for expansion then you have A. failed your expansion game or B. are a nation that requires an early expander.

WeWuz is a retarded game, because retards everywhere.
Ermor is wonnabe ISIS shitter, has no chances to actualy win the game, but since turn 15 spreading his cancer everywhere.
Mictlan is quadblessed (in MA!) idiot, considering his Scales(lol) BoT killed all of his lands and he can produce like 3 sacreds per turn or 2 sacreds and 1 mage.
Pelagia fighting the whole world by now, because he is agressive retarded newbie, unknown to magesupport, despite having one of the best strategic dispositions (the map itself preferable to UW nations) and considering Ryley AI he could have done good.

Yo Shinu I notice that some of your provinces bordering mine have been taken by Ermor for quite some time now ,and I notice that you haven't taken them back. I'd rather not Ermor have any more D so I'm gonna take them with a raiding party that's on its way towards Ermor. Feel free to take them back whenever you want.

Also to the guy who sent me gold for D gems, how many do you want/you consider worth? I'm not exactly an expert at appraising jewelry. If you want to keep your identity secret just identify yourself by the last 3 numbers in the sum you sent.

Is this game enjoyable singleplayer or is this the type of game that should be played online to get the most enjoyment out of it?

>>153998672
On second thought, 4 is just a better peg leg, to be honest...

Still, go for 4 because it has people who play MP.


That reminds me, how about a Dom3 MP game sometime?

>>153998729
It's a MP game that has a SP, but the AI is just as bad as that of any other strategy game

>>153998729

Both. Enjoyable in single player especially if you like messing around with self modding and roleplaying. Really enjoyable in MP as you can tell by this thread.

>>153998729

>>153998729
I usually play SP specifically for RP purposes. For instance, I am currently playing a game as Hinnom on Archaea, and am having a blast trying to take over the world and releasing the Lords of Civilization. I love Deathmatches, also.

If I am storming a fortress, will forces moved into the fortress territory come along for the battle? Or will they just sit there since they did not have the "storm castle" action?

>>153999846
Only units with the 'storm castle' order will storm the castle.

Quick question regarding gems and cast boosting

I give the mage a gem, tell him to cast a spell 1 level above his path level, and he casts it with the gem, correct?

Does he get the fatigue as if he were the proper path level or is it double fatigue?

>>153998512
don't join too many matches. 4 is already a lot.

>>154000879
should be proper path level fatigue.


as far as i know a mage can use up to one gem to either halving fatigue of a spell he can cast or cast normally a spell he is one main path level away from casting.

regardless a mage can use only a number of gems equal to his current main path level.
this mean that if a spell require death level 4 and 3 death gem, a level 3 death mage can't cast it because he would need to use 3+1 gems.

You can easily end up with a prophet for every province.

>>154005387
Good luck managing to get them TO every province, mind you.

>>154005406
True, I mostly meant an equivalent (or greater) amount compared to the number of provinces rather than actually organizing them.

>>154005206
Speaking of madmen can someone explain the insanity/sanity mechanics to me? I mean beyond the in-game description? Or can I find it in the manual?

Some tidbit about the reincarnation shit I see on monkey nations would help too. Dominions is pretty cool, making so many mechanics and attributes that are only ever gonna be used by a single nation. (Like the philosopher trait that only exists on one unit) Most devs wouldn't put that much work for so little reward.

>>154005598
RE: Philosopher, two units actually. That I know of.

>>154005387
Yeah been in proper lategame in 1, maybe 2 depending on your definition, but this is way earlier than I've gotten one in all my other PBEMs. It's nice for spreading my dominion early, though it's going to be a pain moving him to the right place.

>>154005598
Insanity(x) means he has x chance to just disregard your orders and do his own thing. It can also ignore some restrictions, like the restriction of only having one prophet at a time.

What bless works best on shikome and tengu? Or should I just thug out the bless?

>>154013648
W9 maybe? Dunno.

>>154013648
Blood minor is very desirable on Shikome. Water bless is desirable on both Shikome and Tengus. However, there's also Dai Oni to consider and the best bless for them would be N9 and ultimately it's not too bad on the troops either.

If you thought about the troops alone, you'd probably want W9B4 but N9 with a couple of minors might also be worth consideration. I think Yomi in Sansmemes used something like N9B4A4E4 with Idol of Beasts and it seemed to work out fine but there are many approaches you can take to Yomi bless and indeed the scales (for example, Yomi is hungry for money and can't really use Oni for assaulting order nations anyway so you could even go Order yourself).

>>154014450
Why would you want B4?

>>154014824
Strength bonus is very good for units with lots of attacks.

>>154014945
2 is not lots.

>>154013648
For Shikome I'd go with W9. Maybe Blood, but B9 isn't great for Yomi and W9Bx is quite expensive for them.

As a bless I prefer a simple N9. It's decent but not great for your Shikome, but its far better for thugging Oni Generals and Dai Oni. You can get an N9E4S4 Monolith and still have decent scales (especially since you probably want T3 anyway), or an A4E4N9 Idol of Beasts with the same scales and a slightly easier time summoning Tengu without help. Personally I'd go with the Monolith since I'm not a huge fan of Tengu, and even with the Idol you'd still have to wait until year 3 before it wakes up. Through N magic you can get A access in mid-lategame anyway (Fairy Court) if that's your goal.

>>154014824
The more attacks you have, the more valuable a strength bonus is since it's applied to every attack. Shikome don't have huge damage, but at 6 attacks per square + quickness bless + strength bonus, they can be quite effective.

>>154015145
It's double that of normal units. Triple if you took W9.

Size is also important.

2 attacks on a size 2 unit is about as high as attack density goes in dominions, at least for normal troops.

The only reason I went in that lake is because unless I go through that lake, I only have three provinces that aren't 1.) Thrones, or 2.) Mages+ heavy cavalry.

>>154016461
What really pisses me off is when your dominion are spreading, for some reason it seems like T scales always spread faster than L scales, so you end up with half your provinces being like T2L0, and then you get one of those shit events that give misfortune and oops suddenly you're T3M3 and it's going to be one shit event after the other until your scales finally catch up.

Also, the lake is only connected because the badmin uploaded a last minute version connecting the lake to the sea, doubly fucking me over.

Is there any spells(for any nation) that you consider be essential to help expansion?

Rushing a certain summon, or lightning bolts, or something, to help your expanding armies win more easily and expand faster

>>154016739
>>154016870
Can we talk already?

>>154016870
If the admin didn't connect the small lakes to the big one, Ys would be 300% fucked right now.

Some sacrifices have to be made since the map simply wasn't designed to have 5 UW nations.

>>154016935
Not really, you expand with soldiers while your few mages research. Though, you may want something against some indies, like undeads. But you should be able to expand with your armies and maybe your awake pretender without getting mages on the field.

>>154016935

Blessing?

>>154016935
Nah. There are spells that are vital for transition into midgame for some nations though. Like skelespam and t-strike.

>>154017116
Undead are piss with d2d if you have D.

>>154016935
Not really. I tend to rush Ench2 for Personal Regen if I'm running an awake expander with N, though. Or some early spammable spell (like Phantasmal Warrior for A mages) to give your mage-leaders something to do instead of running into melee.

>>154017030
Yes. Do you have a proposal that isn't "lol I get your land provinces"?

>>154017068
Ys would be less fucked, since they'd be able to play normally without being adjacent to actual uw nations.

That said, I'm aware that changes were necessary to get uwmemebowl. That doesn't mean players weren't fucked over by them.

Now, if by "some sacrifices have to be made" you instead mean "lol no expansion for you", that's not going to fly.

>>154017513
>if by "some sacrifices have to be made" you instead mean "lol no expansion for you"

There was a province before the ridge that had TWO CONNECTIONS. You could've forted it and nothing would've happened. But no, you had to be a fucking dick and take MY province with a library, and then make up lame excuses.

Either you fuck off from this province or it's going to be war. That library costs more than your pathetic life.

Alright, i am 80% out.
couldnt assemble enough sibyls to shut down the Fog Warriors. Probably should have gone with double magicduel on those, but being a Jew i am, i just couldnt part with those precious pearls.

Also, this army was sieging my cap, and moved to army that was coming to lift the siege.
Was this outcome guaranteed, or i actually had a 50% chance to have the battle occur at the capital with my fort army being able to join? With a bless on all those sacreds and a bunch of extra mages, i could probably have dealt much more damage.

>>154022539
Because it's a nation that plays in a fairly unique manner and I've already played as many other nations in LA and the ones I haven't played just don't catch my interest (say, Pythium, an uninspired and impotent nation).

But if you're really so upset, I might consider switching to something like Caelum once the admin removes Lemuria from the game (as I want to join from another e-mail account). Although then there's the chance someone else takes Lemuria (and looking at recent LA games, someone always takes Lemuria) and odds are they are the turtling not even trying to win type of player.

>>154023008
I'm in chat

You don't need to beat every nation in the game to win a game.

Thus if you can't handle getting the thrones with some fag sitting in his own fort with 2000 ghosts not doing anything, then you don't deserve to win.

Have you seen how summod shits on lemuria yet?

>>154024921
Summod Lemuria seems like a more interesting nation to play than the vanilla version since you can get more aggressive with spectral weapons being magic resistance negates with difficulty and expansion not being as reliant on getting lucky with freespawn commanders, actually.

>>154024638
You can bet your ass I'm gonna make the life of whoever invades as hard as possible. Fill my forts with wolves, send flying raid parties to all of his empty provinces, spam seeking arrows and other such spells. If you're gonna rape then I'm gonna kick and scream as hard as I can.

What does Swallow do exactly?
I've searched it and some say it increases the creature's max HP permanently it the unit is digested, others say it just "imprisons" units until the end of the battle.

>>154024494
They're all cool, imo. Pan's a communion nation closest in style to MA TC, since its centaur stages can do t-strike or Gifts from Heavens spam, or generic astral stuff like Stellar Cascades. While it has less diversity and more expensive troops, its bigger mages are not cap-only, its mages are much more resilient (so they can survive walking into an RoS, for instance), and its heavy infantry and crossbows are MM2 and have generally better-than-human stats. And, of course, they still have dryads for seducing throne mages and enemy commanders. Overall, they really don't play like the other eras of Pangaea.

Caelum has fewer reliable T-strikers than other eras, but makes up for it by having flying stealthy dual wielders, deeper E access, and the ability to get its national D summons without a pretender. They have great battlefield clear, with frequent access to both RoS and WoD, but many of their primary out of cap mages will require gems to be good in combat, given their randoms. Ultimately, they're one of the best raiding nations of the era (beaten only by Xibalba) and they thrive on blitzing through territory and using traps to eliminate enemy armies rather than engaging head on with T-strike and heavy flyers the way MA Caelum can.

Then Lemuria is, well, Lemuria. Immortal mages, 2000 ghosts in a fort, and literally uses thugs to expand. Summod makes it more interesting since it can actually expand with troops (and well, I might add), but actually needs to do so in order to get its gems and research. Turtling is punished closer to how it is for other nations, since you need your deadlands to do stuff, but on the other hand you also DO start with a mage

>>154025325
It swallows the unit. If the guy doing the swallowing dies, the unit pops out if he hasn't been digested.

Vanilla Pythium sounds interesting (foreign rec mages! diversity! orgies!) but in practice it's awful because you just can't reliably get useful mages at all and even when you do, they're only 'mediocre' as opposed to 'utter shit.' Summod helps them a LOT.

The slave mages alone are pretty much better than anything LA Pythium gets on the mage side, and in terms of units its about the same.
R'lyeh at least has the option of forging too expensive amulets for their mages, versus LA Pythium who just doesn't get mages in the first place.

It's telling that EA R'lyeh has won more games than LA Pythium too.

>>154033112
Pythium's units and mages are leagues better than R'lyeh's if in the right hands.

If you suck then sure you should stick to underwaterbabby nations.

R'lyeh only has more wins because even a completely garbage player with a bad nation can win when he is the sole UW nation and everyone else gets sick of playing.

Well, OF COURSE we have to remove Ermor, the most powerful nation in the game.

Ermor's going to eat Man.

Ulm's going to eat Agartha.

Abysia is going to eat everyone and win the game because Malakal and autism.

Needs to be noted all of my post Asphodel land is kiiinda dead due to being post Asphodel.

>>154035909

Why would I waste my non existent fire gems on that?

>>154036071

Man aint dying on my watch.

>>154035992
Can you post a pic with only Abysia, Aspho and Man? You can almost see the history through them.

>Abysia rising systematically as Aspho falls down

>>154036802
It's not like you can reach Ermor or anything.

>>154036441

>>154036910

I directly border Man, if Ermor tries to eats Man that will give us a border.

Research.

>>154037360
It took people 40 turns and for WoG to be cast so they can finally start ganging up on Ermor who's much smaller and weaker than Abysia.

How long do you think it'll take for people to take action against firejews?

Kinda like removing Ermor. It's really nice when someone does it, but spending your resources on it isn't worth it, since you get almost nothing from it.
