Where are the meme edition? I want my meme editions.

If you want you can consider this to be Talis Edition.

>>156833732
No, you see, the Talis map is a good, easily recognizable picture that is directly related to the game. It has zero meme potential as it is.

Right Talis has a windmill. Left Talis doesn't. Vote Right Talis 2016

Of course you right-wingers care about windmills. Millers are nothing but rentiers, charging hard-working farmers for the use of his capital(the windmill) while doing no work themselves. To support windmills is to support rent-seeking and the rich at the expense of the hard-working proletariat.

The left, on the other hand, has a cool statue head and hand. Vote Left Talis 2016.

it should be clear for all to see that both of the islands belong to the territorial waters of left Talis. Any unwarranted Right Talis aggression by water breathing troops or territorial intrusions by fishermen will be met with lethal force.

>>156834780
Excuse me, but windmills increase production for all, thereby increasing the amount of food available. While the Left starves for their so-called equality, the Right is able to prosper by producing enough to both provide for its people and have excess to reinvest in improving their infrastructure, education, and other amenities. To say that technological advancement is 'capitalist' is to both insult alternative forms of wealth distribution and, moreover, besides the point. Your very arguments press the advantages of living in Right Talis.

If I have good access to death but dont have reanimators or freespawn whats a good source of chaff, especially early on?

>>156835262
Wolves. You can recruit N mages all over the place and are bound to find gemsites if you have 10+ provinces.

If you are hellbound on using those precious death gem for chaff, reanimation gives you things that can actually hit enemies, dispossessed spirits give the defensively best chaff due to ethereal and pale riders gives so well hitting chaff it is no longer just chaff.

>>156835262
Oh, and if you by any chance have Air/Death crosspath then corpse constructs after crafting the bonus items.

I dont have any nature at the moment and I mostly just need more bodies to throw at shit right now so for the minute it has to be death.

>>156835009
Left Talis has nature mages, idiot. And we all know the gains from the windmill are not equally shared.

>>156836225
[Monotone] Yes, it is not as if the glorious pretender doesn't take everything and distribute it on her whim.

Bogus is a known traitor who abandons the Ideology at the very first sight of an fluffy white dryad hind and starts waging battle against the politbyro and revolutionary commanders.

Is the Llama dead again?

So I guess the Glorious Socialist Worker's Republic of Left Talis uses blood magic(and nature, casting Blood Fecundity to feed their people without a windmill), and the Free Democratic People's Republic of Right Talis uses death magic. What other magic do they use?

>>156837498
Earf for better production?

>>156837498
Judging from the stone tablet full of blood in the Free Democratic People's Republic of Right Talis, they dabble in blood too. Further, regarding their high level of windmill technology, they have numerous smiths so E and F it is.

Ded as Right Talis dogs will be.

Honestly, Dominions needs medieval siege weapons capable of launching 90 kg projectiles over 300 meters.

>>156851780
Why would you need siege weapons when you have magic?

>>156851897
because only GfH fits my needs, and only a handful of nations can use it well.

Native nations would have more primitve weapons but maybe stronger magic to compensate.

Does anyone have a working link to the Better Arena mod?

Arco, I give you one last chance to get the fuck out. You're already at war with Ur. Don't make me ally with Helheim and Ulm and gangbang you.

Play a game with Magic Enhanced.

Maximum sites. Maximum research speed. Minimum resources. Minimum gold. Optional : maximum indie strength.

That's how life was pretty much back then. Normal humans were hiding away in caves since literally everything with a pulse and some things without would eat them alive if they came across. Only mages would go out, like cowboys in the wild west, well aware that they can get astral dueled or that they would have to wrestle a dragon to get to research another day.

>>156857676
Not all blood nations are on the same tier, though, and with those settings it's likely going to come down to who can spam better blood summons.

Banning nations with major blood (or maybe even nations with any blood) would be a lot more viable, since national gem summons are more in line with generic summons.

Lets talk about economy!

How much does fort boost taxing, and should I aim to put forts at high pop provinces, instead of places that would give high resources?

If I have 25000pop farm province
and 15000 throne province next to eachothers, where should I pop my fort down first?

>>156878478
Thrones are more important usually
If you can put your forts on high pop provinces it's fine, but it's less important than just getting forts up in the first place

>>156878478
IT DEPENDS

If it's early on, go for economy over safety. People aren't going to thronerush you early on, and if they go to war with you losing a throne isn't the end of the world. In that case, having better income is more important. Past the early-midgame you definitely want to put a fort on every throne though, regardless of its position or the economic benefit its province gives you.

>>156878478
>How much does fort boost taxing
Read the manual.

>should I aim to put forts at high pop provinces, instead of places that would give high resources?It depends on which nation you're playing, and which you need more. Lots of high resource troops that you need a lot of? Resource matters more. Playing Yomi? Resources don't matter at all.

>If I have 25000pop farm province
and 15000 throne province next to eachothers, where should I pop my fort down first?
It depends. You probably want a fort on each of them, because 25000 is pretty good, but the throne is also good and needs a fort to protect it. If there's no realistic chance that someone else could throne-rush or otherwise threaten the throne, I'd do the farm first. Otherwise, the throne.

How do you join a blitz game? I see announcements that they are starting but thats it.

>>156881579
Get into the chat and say you want to join. Click multiplayer in Dominions, and enter the data that the person hosting the game tells you. You'll need a pretender for the right age/nation made ahead of time, which you do the same as for a PBEM.

You literally cannot prove that my space-giants and space-elves and space-bat people have anything to do with Dominions.

>>156886839
The better half

Well jokes aside, the whole units having age, sex, dark vision thingy, large scale spells like Utterdark, items like Bear Claw's Talisman and the trap fox thingy affecting seduction (of course not named like that, but the mechanics themselves)

Basically a dominions-like roguelite.

>>156886839
Probably the terrible graphics. He did say "indie game".

>>156887248
I don't think any of those things are specific to dominions.

where's the blitz?

>>156887310
I like the graphics, the sprites are very well done things like militia and frost devils aside

>>156885953
Ripping off Dominions is like ripping off Dwarf Fortress. What makes it good is the part that takes a massive amount of work, so you're going to get a pale shadow that relies on aesthetics to make its mark. And that means you're entering a pretty flooded market.

I might just start writing up ideas for a pre-EA modnation based on the EA ones, question is, which one? Ideally one that has a decent amount of lore regarding the past.
So far I checked Jotunheim (Rimtursar et all), Kailasa (Devatas), Lanka (the powerful Rakshasa), and Hinnom (Grigori and Nephilim). Anyone got any other ideas? I'll pick one then read the lore properly before starting anything.

>>156891162
Primitive pre-slave EA rlyeh.
Its mentioned how they turned everyone into slaves, so there was a time they didnt have any slaves.

>>156891059
Wait I thought Ur already sent their turn?

>>156891162
Pre everything getting fucked by the malediction Theredos

>>156891162
Loli nation. Also most nordishit has no history and is half made up and the other half made up. Ever tried reading the poetic edda?

Damn, EKWIPT is moving twice as fast as any other game I'm in.

Nice.

>>156891162
Could add an Ermor (the Old Religion). A Nemedian empire that pre-dated Fomoria/Tir na Nog is also an option. Pre-flooded Therados as well.

Enlightened Ebonoid utopia like the one before Yakub created the white devils.

>>156891162
Jotun, Kailasa, and Hinnom are your best bets, Lanka doesn't have terribly much about its past.

>>156891385
>>156891943
These two as well, but maybe a UW nation isn't the best starting point.

>>156891950
I have, but it uses so many archaic words I need a dictionary to really understand what it's saying. And don't even get me started on the poetry itself.

>>156892281
No I mean the historiography part of it. It's patchwork of things even single stanzas were modified/written by two people in different ages.

>>156891162
It would be cool to see the Pale Ones before they were sacrificed. I'm not sure how they'd be mechanically different though, aside from lack of death magic.

Actually, maybe make them not fat, but instead ubermenschen body-type, and with decent attack/defense skills, but still totally naked all the time. Would take a lot of spritework.

>>156891385
>>156891943
R'lyeh and Therodos were also on my list, but like >>156892262 said maybe starting with a UW one isn't the best idea.

>>156891950
I'd do what Illwinter did and piece shit together, change the names up a bit, et voilà. No real other way to do it either. Of course in my case, I'd check first Dominions lore, then if there is a hole try to find something in real mythology.

>>156892230
These two are also pretty solid, though as someone who doesn't play EA Ermor, Fomoria, or TirNaNog much at all I'd rather start with a nation I've played a lot.

All in all I'm really leaning towards Hinnom or Jotunheim since I play those a lot, but I'll give it some thought.

Recruitable Grigori?

>>156893605
What would pre-EA R'lyeh be like? Aren't they the same?

>>156893726
either recruitable Nephilim and hero Grigori or Pure Aavim with Grigori heroes and the possibility to spawn the Nephilim.

>>156893605
Caelum gives you a nation of yazata and daeva as well.

>>156893902
Those mindless guys wouldn't be lobotomized yet and they would not have Tritons. You probably could give them controlled deep sea creatures to fill in the gaps but I'd honestly prefer that they wouldn't even be in it. Pelagia supposedly dominated the seas back then.

>>156894409
If they're not in, Aboleths should be an indie poptype.

Recruitable anywhere Grigori. Make the Grigori black to be more inclusive. Alberto Barbosa as pretender.

>>156894019
>Pure Aavim

Aren't the Avvim still kinda pure? Unlike the Nephilim they didn't really get watered down over the ages (wasn't much to water down to begin with).

>>156895031
Pure Aavim as in only Aavim are recruitable.

Before the Nephilim popped up.

Grigori are around but haven't given the Aavim the dick yet.

Make a WW2/Ermor crossover nation instead.

atlantis being the shoggoth nation always bothered me

we all know atlantis is supposed to be a mermaid place.

>>156895827
Isnt R'lyeh the shoggoth nation?

>>156895938
or deep ones or whatever

>>156894019
>>156895031
>>156895447
Having Grigori that can fuck Avvim to spawn Nephilim would be perfect, a bit like Nazca mummies except they fuck instead of suiciding into indies. Maybe a ritual? Maybe the Grigori want a blood orgy so it's reasonable for it to cost slaves. Maybe there is only a 1/10 chance for the Avvim to survive and give birth.

>>156895827
Realistically, Therados is closest to the mythological Atlantis.

>>156897386
It would be kind of weird for FULLY GROWN Nephilim to pop out of nowhere in the span of a month.

>>156898312
Maybe make them an uncommon freespawn with the spawn rate tied to growth.

Squares, the distribution of which is randomly determined, not uniform.

An unpolished indie game with antiquated graphics, no tutorial, no in-game manual, shitty balance, and shitty UI like this should only cost 10-15 dollars at most.

Too bad the only people who actually play this game are total grognards with too much money and spare time, the kind of people who spend money on overpriced tabletop games.

>>156909670
The devs have also said that they literally don't care about the fact that they'd make more money at a lower price point, because it's a hobby to them and they're fine with only other hobbyists playing it

You should bring in a caelian scout with a storm spool / ring of tamed lightning to make it immune to the lelementals if you haven't already.

Move over some troops and mages now. He gets stronger the longer he is allowed to live and will launch undead raids on neighboring provinces. Nip it in the bud and you 'just' lose a huge portion of that province's pop and get a neat D gem site

>>156919104
Enjoying CK2 is a good start, this game also has lots of mechanics that interact in interesting ways. Maybe start with a human nation that's pretty straightforward on magic (I like Middle Age Ulm) and go from there. Remember that it's a magic game with armies, faff about in single player for a while, read some guides, then get in some multiplayer. The computer doesn't play the game with much depth, so in my opinion multiplayer is more fun.

>>156919198

Magic is way more important and overall better than those games. City building and economy are pretty stripped down, it's fundamentally a war simulator. Unlike those games, there are tactical battles, though you don't play them out yourself, but set the tactics that your units will use and (until you git gud) inevitably fuck up. There's no tech, only magical research, but that still matters a ton because magic is like two thirds of the economy in practice.

Also unlike those games, it's mostly multiplayer. The singleplayer AI is shit (like Paradox games) but unlike those, the game really shines competitively in multiplayer and that's how pretty much everyone normally plays. I, personally, never play multiplayer in anything, except for Dominions. Ah, the multiplayer is also very friendly to people who have trouble with social situations. You take a turn per day (usually, sometimes games are faster or slower) and a game lasts about three months. Diplomacy is often done through in-game messages, which are sent one turn and arrive the next, so you can do it without having to talk to people too much.

I'll provide further answers to further questions, but without knowing what you'd like to know more specifically, I'd just be regurgitating a lot that you'd read elsewhere.

How difficult is it to find a game and approximately how many people play? I have never heard of this game before and I'm worried that by the time I learn how to play it, even /vg/ will have abandoned its general for lack of participants.

>>156929734
Firestorm is just about the easiest to counter of the good skelliwipe spells. RoS and EQ are gonna be better if you can get enough off to be sufficiently killy as soon as possible.

>>156930791
The steam group has about 800 people in it and games seem fairly common. I get the feeling that if you ever started a game you would soon fill out all the spaces.

>>156930843
If you filter out your skelemans to only the armored kind, you can facetank EQ/RoS without too much issue

>>156930791
>How difficult is it to find a game
Not hard. PBEM games don't start regularly, but there's almost always at least 1-2 recruiting at any given time and you can always make one yourself if none exist.

>I'm worried that by the time I learn how to play it, even /vg/ will have abandoned its general for lack of participants.
This general's been around for a couple of years now, we're not going anywhere soon.

There's also a bunch of other communities, if /domg/ ever died we'd go to one of them.

Thats the /v/anheim steam group I mean.

Games posted in the thread take around 2-3 days to fill, depending on size, era, and settings. Ekwipt took a little longer because difficult research and LA, whereas inthatcaseillbegoingaitoo filled in like a day and a half

Assist please. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

That one's not ending anytime soon.

>>156933176
Ermor should cut a peace deal with Pan, and go help deal with sum1won's Ulm.

Just watch your head, stones be raining everywhere.

If a mod nation had immobile mages freespawning in provinces without regard for if the province had a lab, how irritating would that be to you?

Dorfs, are you okay? What was the meaning of this?
Sent you a message ingame.

>>156933434
There are bigger nations than ulm, some of which are actual blood nations.

>>156937537
Just a standard clash between expanding armies. Didn't know you were moving there.

For what purpose?

Why not? Don't be a square, man, all the cool kids at stalling.

Do cloud spells trigger blood vengeance?

>>156941808
no

surely this wont backfire

>>156937268
MA C'tis income drop won't affect UW provinces.

>>156937268
If you're the only UW nation, your entire game is going to be carried by gems. Go turmoil/luck/magic over order.

E4S9N4 is fine, but unnecessary. If you really want the full S9 and not just S7 or somesuch, use the statue over the monolith and drop the N4. That'll get you more scales.

>>156941510
Asphodian Thred.

Does Storm affect mindblasts?

>>156943947
It doesn't affect anything that ignores shields
