>>158492740
So Pythium is the eastern empire, but where is sceleria from?

>>158493123
reformed western empire

>>158493123
Sceleria is the remnants of Western Roman Empire with its old capital (Rome/Eldergate) having suffered an undead apocalypse and conquered territories like Gaul+Iberia (Marignon) and Germania (Ulm) having broken free. You could think of the real-world equivalent as Northern Italy with its capital in Mediolanum, Ravenna or something.

>>158493123

Eastern Western Roman Empire.

>>158493464

Illyria pls go.

>>158492740
I'd go for the typical "pls no bully" but I'm sure I asked for this by being Ermor.

>>158493968
You never played Ermor before, and this is summod. Gonna be an easy one.

>>158493429
>Scelaria is northern Italy
>therefore Ermor is southern Italy
Somehow this makes it even worse than before.

>>158494846
After Rome was sacked, Ravenna became the capital of remnants of the empire.

south of ermor is machaka

>>158492606
I don't think that it works that way. Similar to how you can resummon a transformed unique demon lord, I'm pretty sure that it's a Hunter of Heroes that gets called to attack and if there's none then it'll create one. That said, if it's by that unique unit rather than monster ID, it would be awesome.

>>158495243
I thought that was Germany?

>>158494846
Now that I think about it, there really isn't any reason why Sceleria would have to be Dominions world equivalent of Northern Italy. Who knows, perhaps Sceleria is Italian peninsula South of Rome (Eldergate), maybe throw Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica there for good measure and make not-Syracuse the capital of Sceleria.

Any of you faggots know what the names of the places what where Storm Demons and Demon Knights come from?

Does anyone else find it weird that Dominions has lorefags? Like, it's clear that K.O. and friends don't think about these kinds of interrelations in any detail, so anything you come up with is basically just fan fiction anyway.

>>158495415

Spell file?

>>158495609
It's not like the devs came up with all the shit themselves, they just neatly collected lots of mythology from all sort of different cultures and tried to weave them together leading to a pretty interesting result.

Not a lot of settings have several different hells and heavens co-existing. You get angels fighting onis surrounded by nordic giants drenched in the water of Styx.

Assuming that this is for the War in Hell mod, you could consider making each 'nation' just one of the Demon Lords with only that Demon Lord available as a pretender chassis. Then you can fill their national rosters with stuff that makes sense with said demon lord's paths and lore.

>>158496656
>tfw have ideas for mod and could possibly get something together with dom4editor but have absolutely no ability to make work with sprites.
Once I get my mouse working again I'll have another go at GIMP but for now I'll just feel sorry for myself.

>>158495609
I rather think they DO think about that kind of stuff. Be it juxtapositions of history historical events (like not Alexander the Great clearly reaching not India as demonstrated by Arco having monkey units or backstory of Vanarus referring to Norsemen/Varangians->Vanheim founding Kievan Rus as well as Ulmish->Teutonic Knight attacking Novgorod) or general consistency and attention to detail (like Heart Companions, inspired by Sacred Band of Thebes, being gay), a very great deal of thought clearly has gone into Dominions worldbuilding.

>>158497379
Well, there's no canonical map of the world of Dominions but numerous interactions between the factions inferred from fluff are very much consistent with the real-world geography of the places of origin for mythology and history the factions are based on. You can't say if there's not Arabian peninsula or not Himalayas, but we know Ragha was somewhere in between not Greece and not India because it was cut off by not Alexander's conquests, and unsurprisingly, looking at real world map, that's where we find Zoroastrianism Ragha is inspired by.

>>158500078
I honestly super like it. Here's a way to look at it: Vanilla isn't balanced, christ no. This isn't balanced. But this has more cool stuff than Vanilla. So by that reasoning alone it's better objectively.

For being the eastern roman empire they really don't resemble the eastern roman empire. Their units are identical to Republican/Imperial Rome, which was everything at the case when the eastern empire was relevant(300-400AD)

Working on War in Hell mod, in which you are the demons.
Currently doing thrones. Cannot decide what to do with L1 and L2 thrones:
Tortures?
Lesser sins? (Lying, theft, etc)
Names for Evil?
Something else?

The seven deadly sins are reserved for L3 thrones.

If I take an awake expander and scales, what is my endgame? MA Arco if that helps.Will communions be enough to win the game, or do I need deep access to more paths?

>>158504193

>>158504338
You have full battlefield access to FWESN through native communions. That's good buffing paths. Could be better if you had A, but still really good.
Mystic communions are also excellent at spamming battlemagic.
All you need to win off that is good stuff to buff. Alas, you're pretty shit at rituals aside from the S ones.

>>158504338
I take E6D3 doggo, research enchant for earth blood deep well and hidden in sands.

>>158502552
There's a lot of different stuff that's vastly stronger than vanilla, honestly, which makes it hard to pick out a single 'best.'

For instance, C'tis has these ridiculously OP sacred summons, but it's hard to say if that makes the nation OP given that the best way to leverage them is with a big bless that c'tis doesn't typically use. Reach through Dimensions also brings stupidly strong summons, but it's big N big S, so it's awkward for most nations to cast it without a pretender and doesn't come up until Conj 9.

I'm trying out a strat using the idols of sorcery in a ME game now, but I haven't found anything worth dropping 170 gems of killing on.

Tentative decision made:
All thrones will provide blood slaves.
L1 thrones will be names of hell and words for damnation. Each one will allow for recruitment of a special type of demon.
L2 thrones will be tortures. Each one will allow for free recruitment of chaff with a low reclimit and provide a bless augmentation.
L3 thrones will be deadly sins. Each one will allow for the free recruitment of a special type of sinner with a high reclimit and a powerful special type of demon.

Illfraud has done it again, for Dom5 they can only keep 5 nations per age, and have asked you which ones. Which nations do you pick?

>>158508193
Arcoscephale, Marignon, Mictlan, Ashdod and Atlantis, because they have a version in each age. That means that there's less work that needs to be done making them distinct from other nations in each age. That means Shillwinter is more likely to choose my suggestion.

It's almost certainly never going to happen, the large variety of nations and lore is a very important part of dominions.

I'm not gonna do every age, but for EA I'd choose Arco, Caelum, Niefelheim, TNN, and Mictlan. That should get most playstyles something to represent them.

How do I bootstrap into Lamia queens? are there any indy mages I can summon with N/D?

>>158535785
Troll Shamans (Summon Troll Tribe) have N1D1 ?1EDN.

I have a question in return, though: why would you ever want to bootstrap into lamia queens? There's likely a better route for whatever you're planning.

>>158536680
Not him, but communions.

>>158536680
I want the D/B crosspath for vamps and have no native blood

>>158536741
Use a matrix. Even if you don't get native S/E and can't trade it's probably easier to get the crosspath than to start summoning lots of lamia queens.

If you just need one, maybe. I can't think of a situation where you'd just need one caster, though. Even if they're for battlefield buffs you generally want multiple armies.

>>158536797
That's a hard one, none of your options are great. Just to make sure, is trading for blood slaves not an option?

Have you considered using scouts and/or cheap indie commanders to blood hunt and just empowering a death mage with the results?

You need over 50 gems just per lamia with blood magic, and more specific path combinations are even less likely. Commanders without blood have a very poor chance individually, but 10 in a province is 4/5 as effective as a B1 lamia queen.

400g of commanders vs 50 gems of lamia queen. I know which I'd prefer.

>>158537413
>and more specific path combinations are even less likely
Lamia Queens all have D. Every B random is B/D, and I only need one for vamps.

I don't plan on relying on the queens to bloodhunt, just skip the empowering blood onto a D mage phase and go directly to vamp summoning.

>>158537413
>Use a matrix. Even if you don't get native S/E and can't trade it's probably easier to get the crosspath than to start summoning lots of lamia queens.
>
>If you just need one, maybe. I can't think of a situation where you'd just need one caster, though. Even if they're for battlefield buffs you generally want multiple armies.

They're communion slaves. You use them because they can cast sabbath and have insanely high regen, so they can support a large number of masters.

>>158537413
>Use a matrix. Even if you don't get native S/E and can't trade it's probably easier to get the crosspath than to start summoning lots of lamia queens.

A communion with lamia queen slaves can stably support 25 masters with enlarge and a regen spell. It's pretty damn amazing. Giving all of your mages 1/3rd fatigue on their spells and +1 path boost is worth 40 gems. 1/5th fatigue and +2 path boost may even be worth 80, but that's a bit more questionable

>>158537540
So you're saving 50 slaves (B1 empower) by spending 50 nature gems (roughly average gems per lamia queen which gets a blood random).

Obviously I don't know your exact situation but that doesn't seem like a good trade to me, even if you get a couple of decent mages on top.

>>158537626
Oh, turbocommunion. Alright, that's a decent use I hadn't thought of, if a very expensive one.

>>158537836
I agree. Your numbers are a bit off, though. Lamia Queens are 25 gems each, and half of them need a slave matrix, so it'd be 60/120 gems respectively.

>>158538095
>Lamia Queens are 25 gems each
They're 20 in summod :^)

>>158538095
>a very expensive one.
Not really desu. It's a huge battlefield boost for the price of a thug. It's downright amazing for a few nations like sauro and c'tis.

>>158538354
I don't see any indication we were talking about summod.

>>158538450
I'd consider a 50 gem thug an expensive investment too.

>>158538954
It's kinda default on domg, to be fair

>>158538095
>decent use
A battery of four can effortlessly sustain 14 mages spamming basically whatever from now until one of the lamias suffers a never-healing wound. Even basic buffing can dramatically increase that.
They're downright amazing for turbocommunism.

>>158544665
They get back to the nearest free province, including inside the fort. If you own provinces outside the fort they might retreat there, for example.

Sure is ded here.

Noob here testing stuff out versus AI. Are there units worth getting using the Wish spell? I'm thinking SC and/or very strong mages.

>>158549817
Seraphs, probably. You can also wish for unique artifacts and monsters like magic lamp or elemental royalty to steal them from other people. Most of the time wishing for gems is what you should do though.

>>158549817
Seraphs are usually the go-to Wish unit, but wishing for mages (often heroes) who have a high level of magic you don't have natively can be worth it as well.

>>158527990
Pikes. L>damage every time

>>158549817
I would say either telkhines or Queen of the city.
Maybe Stargazer if you need more wishers.

What on earth does one do against an Eater of the Dead with 1k+ hp? Spam Soul Slay? Dude has 22 MR.

>>158526042
>That fucking garbage battle formation from Ermor.

>>158550329
Effective formations are for pussies t b h

>>158550219
With the recent update you can try to Stream of Life him. Ignores MR so it's all about RNGesus.

>>158549817
Seraphs if you want something that will kill an army or cripple it severely. Telkhines if you want casters.
>>158550219
Ignore it, it's one monster and shouldn't be under control of the enemy anymore. Just retake provinces it takes until it hits a fort. A fort under perpetual siege is a lot better than risking losing a massive investment to a really tough to kill monster.

>>158550219
Yes, soul slay spam. 22MR is fucking NOTHING.

>>158550929

It's generally sufficient when you need to land two, sometimes three in order to kill him.

>>158550219
Assassins, plural. Maximize damage output for them and just swarm him with 10 or so. An assassin can easily output 100 or so damage per round.

Of course you'd have to attack normally with them then, don't use assassination.

>>158550929

Really though, no amount of MR will protect an SC against a Soul Slay machine gun.

>>158551547
Just use disintegrate. Works on mindless/lifeless units, and only needs D2.

>>158551601
I think disintegrate has to be aimed, while soul slay has precision 100.

>>158551683
Think again. Or better yet, use the fucking dom inspector next time.

>>158551601

Still has an MR check and has shittier range, also it's Thaum 5 vs Alt 8. If you're not going up against a mindless SC and have access to S and D, then there's no reason to use it over Soul Slay.

>>158551727
Are you drunk? There is no reason to use disintegrate over Soul slay unless you want to kill a mindless SC.

It's the same damage but 20 fucking range, you pleb.

>>158551829
First of all, it's 25 fucking range, you pleb.

Second, golems are more common than you think.

Third, not all nations have high S, or even enough of low S to make communions, or enough time to set up communions.

>>158551820
Disintegrate is obviously for skelespam nations.

>>158551995

It doesn't matter. Just set up a test game with lich pretender. He gets feebleminded and in a few turns he's as good as new.

>>158574139
Healing your feebleminded mindhunters is the whole point to Arco. Like, that's what Arco do

>>158574371
Mindhunt can cause feebleminded pre-soulslay since the damage from the mental attack spell is targeted at the head and can cause afflictions. It's fairly unlikely, all things considered, but it is possible

ScrubWarriors seems pretty peaceful from my perspective. Only real annoyance is that the devil fish can reach most coasts in the world, and they are going to rocket past everyone in research.

Admin, can you do something about Arco? They've staled 5 times in a row now. Seems ridiculous to let the player presumably in the strongest position to just die. Please get a sub.

Is it normal for players to go AI after their first(?) battle? (Turn 8)
Marverni and Arcosephale seem to have bumped pretenders and Marverni is now AI. He's also huge and I'm pretty sure he was winning the game, nobody else has a throne and I can see the AI's expansion army many provinces from the border with Arcosephale.

>>158597571
>Only real annoyance is that the devil fish can reach most coasts in the world
This is a liability in most cases. The downside of expanding well is having many neighbors, and on some maps water nations get that without even being exceptionally sized. Even if the water barrier helps make invading them more annoying, they still have more different threats to worry about and more different dominions pushing into them.

It's all manageable, of course, and there are some nice benefits like being able to join in on gang bangs more easily, but the negatives tend to outweigh the upsides.

They're workable but not good because they still don't have good layered defences (they rely exclusively on protection, more or less).

More importantly, Pangaea can raid extremely cost-effectively with their national troops. Foreign recruit satyr commander priced at 40g and 265-285 gold worth of units (revelers or centaur warriors, alternatively 120g centaur hierophant and several white centaurs) can handle any realistic PD just as well as a Pan with same gold cost and no gem investment. And should you play turmoil Pan, you can also take "Ermor" approach into raiding and shoving hordes of maenads at PD instead of going the elf route of being sneaky.

In LA I suppose Panii would in principle be more lucrative due to being cheaper than in EA/MA and Pangaea having lost their best stealthers, but LA indies having more heavy-hitters like heavy cavalry wouldn't work so good with Panii thugs relying on protection.

Is soliciting deathbaskets acceptable or no?

>>158607375

Seriously though. Under what circumstances is it ok? Or is it bad manners generally? I've always thought it was the latter, but someone was just talking about doing it yesterday.

Being a beggar is pretty much always bad manners

>they are going to rocket past everyone in research
Would you like to buy some research boosters to help with that?

Lightless lanterns aren't available quite yet, but will be in a couple of turns.

What are some good uses for W3 F2 mages under water?

>>158611626
manifest vitrol jomon, it's pretty obvious

>>158611901
Shit that would be pretty good. Any uses for them in combat? I cant see shit. Kings of the deep by the way.

>>158612078
they are amazing units, acid spewing tough lions that are also ethereal and won't run. only downside is no scaling so you need a lot of mages to do it

>>158612170
No I mean for kings of the deep with fire. I wish I had some acid lions right now.

Unfortunately UW combat is shiiiiit.

>>158612583
Although the sight of 8 water elementals raping 200 indy merman was pretty sweet I must agree with you. Now I just have to deal with Ys and their fucking N9 mistforming kight bastards.

>>158612262
nothing too fancy desu, Boil to cute evo, summon flame jellies which are good tanks against mind blasters and MR negate attacks,

Honestly I would just treat them as WE summoners

Where muh Agartha bros at?
