>>158750190

Happily, it seems to be backfiring even here. Look at how much pushback malakal and nicknight have been getting for their most recent efforts.

>>158757448
t-strikes, blood, summonable A melqarts and craptastic troops.

>>158757448
Blood, decent mages, and an income bonus on coastal provinces. Their regular troops aren't too hot, though.

RIP Forsete the galderman. This hero survived several rounds of combat entirely surrounded by enemies (ethereal+ironskin+stellar cascaded satyrs), getting several Shock Wave casts off and being personally responsible for half of the Pangaea casualties (the total Midgård force was around 4.5k).

Okay, so fear.

I know that no one knows how it works and that Johan said he forgot how he wrote it.

In a recent battle, I had an SC fighting a bunch of ghosts. His morale went down at the end of the enemy turn and went up at the start of his turn. He had Heroic Valor. The thing that seemed to make him rout was just taking damage when his morale didn't rise to be sufficiently high. Anyone have any tests that they've run with fear or even just experience with it at all?

>>158758275
It's start of the fear dude turn

>>158758791
Okay, and this puts it in line with other aura effects too.

The amount of morale gained/lost also is subject to a roll, since it varies turn by turn.

What's a better helmet for scaring people; Spirit Mask or Horror Helmet?

>>158759194
It depends.

I'm just going to echo my request for suggestions regarding text/pictures for the new additions to the roster:
http://implyingrigged.info/wiki//domg/

>>158757813
Good question.

It looks like the game is coming down to four superpowers, plus me and Nazca. Nazca is busy fighting off Sceleria, while I'm just kind of huddled here in my capring trying to figure out what to do. Ermor is pretty big, but seems to have stopped expanding and two of the capitals they hold have been under siege for a while. I'm not sure what they're doing now.

Sceleria has a lot of thrones, but I don't think they're close to winning. Still wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on them, though.

They don't care if people play their game? I'm 100% sure you have severe autism.

Not one single person more would play Dominions if it were any cheaper. If you have the base line intelligence and free time required to play the game and not be a retarded shitter who AIs in year two (not considered a "person" for the above statement) then you can get a fucking job.

>>158769979

They legitimately don't. They both have full time jobs outwith working on their games. Illwinter is a hobby thing they do for their own amusement, and to produce games that they personally want to play.

I worked with a great warlock contract spam-scales-dormant pretender, D2F1B7, empowered him once to get vampire lords. Contract spam worked really well and provided me with my actual fighting armies, didnt lost many devils at all, most stayed with me to the end. And that was good because I didnt have ways of replacing my losses due to shit research.

When I got invaded by Ulm-Blog-Ys I didnt even have fire storm or vampires, but they were so passive and bad at fighting that I managed to buy enough time. Beat Ulm with bloodletting cast by warlocks and with fog warriors (had to tech up to that first tho).

Ulm invaded with 1200 dudes but moved around with no goal or purpose, tried assaulting me with 200 guys once and then died. No idea what that was about.

>>158772026
Would you say that summod buffs made devils significantly better?

>>158772026

I had a decent expansion phase but I mainly worked towards having time. I know I can be very efficient as long as I dont get myself involved in a pointless war early so I was very passive towards all my neighbors, made some concessions.

Once everyone invaded Asphodel I finished him off (didnt organize the gang bang, think Ys did). After that had a solid N income so got myself MO. Grabbed Machaka when he failed versus C'tis and some of his near cap land.

At that point Rus was very much leading so when Mari came for my help I offered it gladly. Once me, blog and Mari hit Rus he just surrendered. Grabbed Caelum off him but then Ulm invaded me with massive armies and shortly after Blog and Ys.

At that point I was very vulnerable due to no rp but they were horrible at fighting. Ys moved his 400+ stack with 60 mages to my t2 throne and sat there for 20 turns or so (???). Blog, Ys, Ulm sent on me their doomstacks total like 2-2.5k troops but fighting three armies total is no big deal.

>>158771939
>Ulm invaded with 1200 dudes but moved around with no goal or purpose, tried assaulting me with 200 guys once and then died. No idea what that was about.
sounds like a typical /domg/ game.

>>158772437
Of course. They got fireshield 6.

>>158772279

They are better but not much better. Their weakness stays the same, they just kill chaff slightly better.

>>158771939

Ulm had 1500h+ clocked into Dom and Shinu was Lambert, Ermor also was a good player, Mari too. No idea about many toher players but Man, Aspho were new. But funny enough they played to the end and did their best. Good job guys, would love to play with you again!

>>158771268

Yes but at that point Ys could beat me solo. I could if we exchanged places. I only was out of control with blood7/evo7/alt7 and that was like 15 turns after that

>Ulm had 1500h+ clocked into Dom
sounds like 6 months of SP

>>158772768
at this point lambert has lost his edge, his normie life is ruining his ability to put any real thought into his games

Congrats. I was really looking forward to using my Staff of Storms - Soul Drain - Master Enslave combo, but you probably already had kitted golems at that point, and when players started going AI one by one I lost all will to live. The thing I hate the most is when people just leave after a single battle.

I had a screenshot of my "if you let Malakal win I will murder your family" post somewhere, but I think it's on another PC. Otherwise, I mostly joined the game to test how my favorite rainbow Ermor fares in new summod, and it was pretty alright.

>>158770981

>3. C'tis - 4/10, big, big income, no idea what he was doing all game long, new Tartarus citizen

Mostly trying to break into Air/Earth/Blood so I could make up Staffs of Storms/cast Army of X, et cetera, in order to not be immediately raped to death by ten billion devils first turn. Actually managed it, like, two turns ago. But that was Too Late.

I'd been throwing anonymous rituals at you for about half the game and gearing up to launch a war, but my lack of nature sites kinda fucked me over. I had 5 income, having Haruspexed fucking everything. Made fairy queen summoning a challenge. You also beat me to Mother Oak by two turns. Really shouldn't have traded you that Moonvine.

>>158772495
>Once everyone invaded Asphodel I finished him off (didnt organize the gang bang, think Ys did). After that had a solid N income so got myself MO. Grabbed Machaka when he failed versus C'tis and some of his near cap land.

I dunno what the fuck Ys was doing, I feared his elf bullshit the most and all he did was take 3 coastal provinces (which he then left). I didn't really know what I was doing either, first time Asspoodle in a PBEM and hadn't even tested it first due to normalfag problems.

Not new, though I hadn't played in a long long time.

>>158773113

I got elemental staff, air helmet, wind bag, moonvine, treelord staff from trade this game, that really helped me with my N and A needs. Got me from A2 to A5 and from N2 to N5.

>>158773296

You still fought to the end.

I just found lack of bless/awake max dom spread to be very suboptimal for dead plants

>>158770981
Well, might as well not subbed for it.
Shinu was in an awful state and it would have taken another 10-15 turns to sort it all out while power uping by eating AIs.

No troops, no scouts, not a single dai oni, no tengus, not even hammers to craft gear with.

I've managed a decent army of acid lions, some dai oni thugs, some devils and start of vampire lord production by the time the game ended. Was about to get me some dai tengus for air buffs.
All the tools were there to unfuck shinu.


On a positive note i had a really good laugh when this happened.

>>158772994
Lambert only ever did well with meme nations like UW nations or popkill cancer. Give him a straight edge land nations and he is meh.

>>158773646
I find that very true from my perspective. when lambert left and I took over Pelagia was in good shape and I was able to quickly whip u a fighting force to deal with rude squids who attacked me the turn after It took over

I subbed into a mari with 10 shit knights no mages and 2 extra probs turn6 (not even cap ring provs just a line) in turn 6 and managed to tilt Rus into AI so I feel good about this game all in all. Lying apparently works greatly in domg. Oops i mean diplomonstering

>>158773550
Yeah it was suboptimal to say the least. Might join another with Asspoodle soon now that I have actually tested and read up on the nation a bit, even as a headless chicken I liked the nation.

I am glad it's over.

In this game I was trying summod for the first time. Also never played Bandar Log seriously in MP. Made a huge mistake taking Drain 1, I was hoping that my research would be at least average, but it was shit.
Sitesearching was awful too. Blog's divercity is total shit and with W1E1S3N3 I have found 0 W income, +5 E, +2 N and + 5 S in all my lands. Basically no gems for me, so my SCs were late and few in numbers. Got some bloodnomics with scouts and a bit later with the GoRed Asrapas. But my income of blood was about 30-50 per turn at best. Compared to Abysia... I don't how much he was getting, but I bet AT THE VERY LEAST it was 10 times more than mine.

I won't say anything about other players, I kinda enjoyed interactions and the common flow and common sense, but it's all about that. Scrubs gonna scrub ang good players gonna snowball. I liked general hostility towards Ermor among his neighbours. He wasn't defeated, but was CONTAINED, I commend for that all the participants. Then Vanarus scared everyone after elfed Mari. Huge coalition was formed swiftly. And then when it has become obvious that Abysia is just snowballed succesfully Ulm, Ys and me reacted swiftly too. It's all was pleasant to see.

This turn I have finally made some research targets and SCs to go after 2 closest Abysian Thrones, but just as C'tis said.. it was TOO LATE.

His victory is economical one. My gold income was good compared to his, but 2 times less gems and 10 time less blood slaves plus lagging research made my defeat inevitable.

>>158776427

Most of the game my slave income was around 150. Only recently I got it to near 400, so 10 times yours is a big overstatement. I just had enough for contracts.

>>158776703
did you use summod's improved abysian crossbreeding? if so, what do you think of it?

>>158777163

I tried using them as troops but they are too bad for that. So only for patrolling.

There was apparently a scaling bug but all my attempts at fielding crossbred armies failed horribly anyway.

Plus after Asphodel has fallen I had 20N per turn and a lot of N1 mages so wolves would be a viable alternative for patrols.

I love reading the postmortem of games, especially from players that lost. Also, nobody gets pissy about losing, they're gentlemen about it, which is really refreshing to see in a MP game

>>158779052
I've gotten pissy once or twice but I try my hardest to keep it to myself.

Looks like we have a ghost problem. They've started attacking me after greedily taking lands that belong to all nations. I guess it's to be expected that a nation with an early lead would try to extend it, but then I would also expect the other, responsible players to recognize it as in their best interests to stop such a nation. Am I wrong, fellow degens?

>>158779438

>>158779438

>>158779575
>>158779638
>>158779712
t. Lemuria

>>158779052
I think it is because even if you lose, you at least get rid of a game so you can join a new one. And games are less enjoyable the longer they are, so losers are thankful.

>>158779842
I border Agartha, Jomon, Mictlan, Marignon, and (as of this turn) Atlantis.
=)

I think that I may be the largest nation, since my expansion went VERY well, but I'm not sure, since I have only a few scouts.

I decided to invade Marignon as soon as I could, since I thought that they would be the weakest early and I know that my strength will fall off. =(

>>158779575
I guess you're right, a Lemuria with 20 provinces at the start of year 2 (and that's not including the provinces I have, they stand to grow much larger). People who are actually in the game were just discussing how all anyone could see was ghosts.

The /domg/ anti-gangbang instincts really are stunning. Calling out an aggressive leader of the game immediately won me censure from, well, a gang of naysayers. I'm going to war them, but their treachery has set me on the back foot. The ghosts lied to me, saying that they were planning on taking a throne, but they were really positioning an army for an attack. Now, shame on me for even thinking a player of this game could be trustworthy, but this really goes to show you that this player is not to be trusted.

>>158779052
I think those people who would bitch about losing go AI long before anyway

>>158776427

Funny you should say the diversity's shit, because Blog's one of the few nations with national mages for every single path. You need your pretender for a couple, and some (Fire) are way too late to be useful, but Rishis with boosters can summon a majority.

They really are a nation that's super reliant upon summons.

>>158780316
It's true, I am quite large! I think that expansion may be one of Lemuria's greatest strengths. =)

It is a bit harder to leverage that before site searching, though. =(

I think that with any other nation, I would have a half-dozen forts under construction and labs out and larger armies. It's strange being large and just not getting very much from the land yet. Luckily, I have a lot of indy crossbows =)

Now I get to see how well my idea holds up against an actual player! Let's have a good war!

How useful are MA Arco's War Elephants? They're fucking expensive, die easily, or break and trample my hoplites. How do I use them more effectively, put them behind a chaff horde?

>>158781317

Extremely useful since you expand with them.

If you mean for actual player vs player wars they need some buffs as their weakness is very apparent. Berserk + mr is basic, then you can add ethereal and prot.

It is as you say, though you are large, you will not reach the peak of your power until you marshal the magical resources of your conquests. I see that your misleadingly named god is already hard at work site-searching.

Is it not true that nations led by wise players will be more successful? Here, then, is a question for the wise: is it better to allow the strongest nation among us to conquer still more, and to suck in more and more lands to depopulate and gems to fuel vile sorcery, or is it better to remove the cancer before it metastasizes into a truly global threat?

I hereby announce the Lemurian Extermination Victory Fund. The first player to post a report of a victory against Lemuria will receive 500 gold, and each player thereafter will receive 300.

It's a nice bonus if you were planning to attack him anyway, but not a large enough bonus to convince someone who didn't already want to go to war.

>>158784247
It's nothing compared to having to commit to a war against a strong player, which I think you agree is more than a 500 gold question. Of course, if Lemuria is such a threat and Mari manages to put together a coalition, they should be joining anyway to get his lands while they're still worth more than 500 gold.

I agree with the other reasons, but 500 gold is basically a nice bonus for something I'd already want to do.

>>158786509
Yeah, in vanilla you need to watch out for the Lemuria that shits out Centurions because they can potentially fuck up your day. And ghosts are stupidly good at fort defense in vanilla, which summod nerfs.

>>158788635
Since I want ghosts removed but don't border them, I'll match any payments Marignon makes and throw in two fire gems per turn to anyone at war with, and actively producing battle reports against, Lemuria.

>>158790080

>reminder that robbledoth is leading in many graphs
Do you actually have graphs to prove that?

Current leaders, IIRC, were dwarves on gems and dalkrin on research.

>>158790807
Fucked up and lost my expansion force trying to take the third province. Luckily my pretender isn't awake, or I would have lost him too most likely.
Also, still don't have level 1 in any research.

But I'm not going AI! In it to win it!

>>158794270
Dont worry mate, I also lost most of my expansion force. Heavy cav are no joke.

>>158794270
Oh jeez, run into surprise mages or something?
And same regarding research. And man turns out hinnom stuff is really expensive. Like... Really, really expensive. It is painful to have to run my treasury dry recruiting five troops a turn.

>>158791938
I found Yomi, and I think I'll find a second person next turn.

>>158790807
I'm in that position right now in ForNoobs, but without the giants. Scrub lyfe

>>158794512
Welcome to giant nations buddy.

>>158794650
It's just extra terrible when I got my entire starting army slaughtered turn 1 and replacing it is such a slow thing.

>>158794512
Heavy infantry and heavy cavalry. No mages, which makes it worse, really. And they only took six casualties, so it's not like I can snatch it up with the shit I built at the capital.

Also I didn't pick Hinnom even though thematically I think they're the coolest, because of the whole having to set up blood economy thing. Good luck, lad.

>>158794796
I have felt these pains before. Dont worry,you will recover.

>>158794847
>>158794912
I hope I do! Also hinnom does indeed seem cool, but the part where my blood Hunters also murder the population with their very presence does seem like it's going to make life difficult. I think I'll leave blood for the moment.

The worst bit is, before ForNoobs got unstarted, I was doing really great comparatively. I had taken a bunch of provinces without losing more than 1-2 chaff soldiers per turn.

>>158795912
There's a dead man in the hall of fame, I believe it. I hope no Malakal-tier player is slumming it in these games, that's probably about as entertaining to a good player as playing vs AI.

I'm glad it's over. Learned a lot this game, more than I did in the novice game organized a month ago or so, in general, about pretender creation and about Man. At many points I found myself thinking "if only I had access to X" or such, which gave me ideas about how I should design pretender and distribute research next time.

I've also learned how weak Man becomes in late-game without an aggressive expansion early, there's not many battlefield-clear options and mages are very reliant on troops. Last 10 or so turns I felt like I was the guy with a stick at a sword fight.

Easy.

I lose before I get to the late game.

I limit myself to 4 games, and hopefully by late game turn timers are on 48 hours anyways

>>158780920
I was talking about sitesearching. Indeed in the midgame I had all the paths on my mages (but far from having a lot of useful crosspaths though) and I could have crafted a lot and utilise any type of gems.
But useful summons of Blog comes online a lot later and basic sitesearch I have to perform with my recruitable mages (god was Imprisoned). And what divercity does my recruitable mages have? It's just a joke - W1E1N3S4, and only caponly mage have it. Provincial mages are just S2N1, no random.
So, for the sitesearching purposes you have to have a huge luck to be able to find a lot of gem income with those. I wasn't lucky at all.
A lot later I have found Mages of Summer and they were casting Augury very succesfully, Jade Amazons they were casting Dark Knowledge and Voice of Apsu, finding few sites, and finally some randomly coming Earthreader allowed me to sitesearch around with E3 wearing boots. But it was already late when I have found those latest sites, the war with Abysia already outbreaked.

>>158795227
I did too. Bandits without any oni reinforcements are really useless.

>>158822050

You had great indie sites tho, high temple of the magii and wizards. I remember scrying on you and being very tempted to take them but decided to be a good friend instead.

>>158816883

Way too passive mainly.

>>158830081

I found next to no fire sites, some astral, did dark knowledge on ALL my land and got one site. Mainly had earth and nature income amazingly enough. Couldnt even use those for a long long time.

>>158830412

What I did as Yomi was expand with fire onis (25g). They are solid enough, especially if you first go to where your chaos spread.

Only get bandit archers as a resource soak and have them behind onis shooting.

Still, do something DIFFERENT from a lich queen, if you can.

>>158838062

Yeah, it's not a Lich Queen.

Is it worth it to kit your communion slaves with rings of regen and amulets of resilience? It's 10 gems, which is cheaper than Lamia queens

>>158838675
Those slaves would need to have quite a lot of HP for it to be worth it

>>158838675
amulets of resilience are either enough on their own (with other reinvig maybe from spells on the master) or completely useless. Take either regen or reinvig but not both, except incidentally.

For regen, here are the requirements -
It needs to regenerate by at least as many masters as you have
It needs to not die in 1 round (otherwise soul vortex communicants would work with even a large number of masters)

Lamia Queens are special because they have a second form with uncommonly high hp and 50% regen. This means that they regen A LOT more than a human with rings. Additionally, enlarge gives an hp buff, and since they have both uncommonly high HP for their size and regenerate an incredible % of their health back, it becomes even better. With enlarge + personal regen, a lamia queen can sustain an insane number of masters.

tl;dr - don't bother with regen rings. Instead, get a chassis that regenerates a lot, like a lamia queen or a tarrasque

>>158838974
oh, and lamia queens can cast soul vortex or have it propagated through their masters, so with regular lamia bodyguards they can have a simply silly number of masters sustained

Could you please do your fucking turns? I saw Patala requested an extension because of hardware failure or some such a couple of turns ago and that's fine (they weren't even the last to send in their turn at that time), but even with this 48h timer, some of you guys have consistently required an extension after extension. Of course, I find this preferable to staling but come on, what's up with this game?

Why is this shit still so expensive? It's been 3 years.

For starters, the developers probably aren't interested in tweaking the price to maximize profit or even selling any copies, really. They seem to be treating it as hobby project and if they make some money without having to bother with business side of things then good for them.

In addition, they are coming from wargaming background and it's not uncommon for big wargames to have pricing ABOVE AAA retail and keep that price point forever (take a look at something like War in the East: http://store.steampowered.com/app/370540/ / http://www.matrixgames.com/products/372/details/Gary.Grigsby's.War.in.the.East:.The.German-Soviet.War.1941-1945 that was released a couple of years earlier than Dom4 and is twice the price). Indeed, this so-called "grognard tax" is pretty common in enthusiast games (be it flight simulators or miniature wargame models) and presumably it presumably it makes financial sense. I would argue Dominions actually has potential even for mainstream appeal because of its exceptional worldbuilding (far inferior would-be "art house games" have become popular) but if you treat it as a wargame alone, the potential audience probably isn't much larger than the audience willing to pay whatever price they ask. Dominions 4 is actually cheap compared to other wargames (or Dom1-3 when they were published by Sharpnel games).

Don't let the thread die.
Someone tell me why my communion numbers wrong:

15 masters, 8 slaves. All of them S1.

One of the masters has a crystal matrix and casts PoS for the slaves as soon as they cast communion slave.

An extra out-of communion S3 casts LotNS.

Turn 2 starts, and all of my masters are scripted to cast stellar cascades. As they are S2 +3, they get 20/4 = 5 fatigue, +3 because of encumbrance.

Then 8 fatigue gets divided and every slave gets 1, which they try to divide because they are all S3 and the masters are S2. But 0.5 gets rounded up to 1, so it doesn't matter.

I have no idea of how much fatigue my masters were supposed to get (please someone tell me how does that work), but the slaves were supposed to get 15 fatigue per turn, as there are 15 masters.
But for some reason they are getting a lot more than 15 fat each turn, can't remember how much of it.

Why is it? What is wrong?

>>158842989
Given that the Erf snek usually beats indies by chomping a few and then routing them due to the fear, a reasonably big stack of even normal troops has a decent change of killing it. A bit more than a hundred, to be safe.

Let alone a huge bloodnomics
which is nowhere to be shown.

The only means to defeat THAT Abysia is to trap it into the war of attrition, raze it's bloodfarms and won't let it capture new lands from neighbours. And only after it will become wasted you can contain it and capture the most valuable Thrones.
So basically after ulmish lands fall into the hands of Abysia there were no more hope.

Now your next line will be: "I was just trying to troll Ys".

>>158849121

Seeing as he didnt cast RoS a single time nor tried raiding me nor tried contesting my blood nor tried doing a single fuckign thing to win it can hardly be called trolling.

But you had Fog Warriors yourself, so you were protected against RoS.
And moreover devils won't be harmed even with 2 RoS casts.
And moreover devils are flying so theyu CAN theoretically reach RoS-caster immediately, even if it's 1 turn RoS.

Bsically I am trying to say that 1 spell won't make you win a war. It can win you a battle. But if you have 2-4 times more resources then 1 battle for you is nothing but a useful repetition before the actual deal.

Means nothing apart from that Pythium is just wasteful, uncareful player.

In the final outcome only sizes of gold/gem/blood_slaves economics what is matter.
Sure if the player made a huge mistake putting all the eggs in the same bag and loosing everything and after that going AI, then he is just wasteful scrub.

>>158850530

Ys didnt even bother TRYING to do this.

He could have RAIDED my blood hunting provinces denying me the income. He didnt.

He could have set up RoS traps on my armies. He didnt.

He could have split his doom stack and raided several provinces at a time. He didnt.

>>158850436
>Cant protect against turn1 RoS monkey.
And so what? You can kill his RoS casters with your devils because they probably won't rout even after 2 casts. You can jump with your Arch Devil first to trigger gemspent. You can assasinate RoS cater from distance or make Horrors to trigger gemspent. You can field 3-4 more armies to replace ine that were defeated via RoS.

Basically what you are arguing is just about certain stupid battle tactics usefulness. But every tactic can be countered.
But what is matters is just resources your treasury possess to win a war.

What's this meme about registring your wins on the spreadsheet? What's the point in this?

>>158851031

Devils die to a few RoS casts, Ys had 20+ Morgen sorceresses that I have seen. He grouped them in a doom stack instead of dividing to set up up to 5 RoS traps that could have killed all my devils turn1. You know what they were casting? T strike. 400+g cap only str mage was t striking. Well played!

I also didnt fucking have horrors or arch devils when ys and you invaded. I had evo3, alt5, blood5 and ench5. Then I rushed alt7 for fog warriors, that was enough to beat both you and Ulm. Plus Magoth was summoned last, just my luck.

Simply put I didnt have any counters up when the war started. BUT YS DIDNT EVEN TRY ANYTHING. NOR DID YOU OR ULM.

First thing I did fighting you? Killed your non fort blood hunting. You were happy with killing my raid parties of devils? Well I was more than happy losing them as long as it denied you blood.

Long story short stay bad if you cant take a fucking advice I am gratuitously giving.

>Ys didnt even bother TRYING to do this.
That is the point, but maybe he, just like me wasn't prepared to waste his precious very few resorces on the questionable actions.
For example I was thinking about raiding your bloodfarms with Daikini SCs. But since I was aware that you were hunting with Vampire Lords and could easily Leech or L4L it I was very hesitant.

>He could have RAIDED my blood hunting provinces denying me the income. He didnt.

I was seeing him raiding a little.
Basically maybe he was sure that losing group of the expensive sacreds wasn't worth it to kill 80 units of your chaff and rout Vampire Lord?

>He could have set up RoS traps on my armies. He didnt.

Your armies were flying and unpredictable in movements. And moreover he was on the offence, so it's hard to make a trap when you are not on defence. Let alone your GoH and teleporting shits in mage-phase.

>He could have split his doom stack and raided several provinces at a time. He didnt.

Maybe just like me he wasn't sure that he can breach the walls when gorrilion of your chaff and devils were sitting inside. Let alone that your maneuverability due to flying option was superior. Basically it's pointless to raid someone who has flying MM3 and ability to send horrors.

You are just bringing up options, but didn't evaluate their shortcomings and price.

>>158851910

Are you on purpose ignoring the fact I had fuckall research when the war started as I said several times now? I didnt have horrors, firestorm, fog warriors, arch devils, vampires or other shit when you guys decided to kill me off.

You MUST know when I got horrors because I started sending them on you. You also know when I got GoH or evo7.

You also could have DISPELLED my globals. I mean 3 nations cant pool dispel? PATHETIC. You could have put perpetual storm up to stop my fliers.

There is so MUCH you could have done its not even funny.

But sure, tell yourself I was balling out of control and you were too late if it makes your ass hurt less.

>>158852221
>Are you on purpose ignoring the fact I had fuckall research when the war started as I said several times now?
According to the graphs, your research was pretty much equal to Ys'. You can stop sandbagging now, you know.

>>158852380

LOL see

>>158771743

>>158851386
>I had evo3, alt5, blood5 and ench5. Then I rushed alt7 for fog warriors.

That was blatant lie. You have defeated me with 2 Troll Kings (Conj 6), Fog Warriors (Alt 7), EQ (Evo5) and Send Horror spam (Blood 8). Everyone kitted, vielding a lot of gems, while hiding inside the fort with 500 units of chaff and about 150 devils.
And I in that time was having Conj 4, Alter 5, Evo 5, Ench 6 and Blood 6.

Basically the player with a lot more gems, items, blood slaves and better research defeating other players and make it sound like he is genius, while he hust has more stuff and better defence position.

You know what? You are full of shit.

>>158852927

Um are you being dumb? We fought several turns after you invaded me, or are you sclerotic and dont remember that?

>>158852590
Ys is that little blue line that's almost at the bottom. He was only ever marginally ahead of you in research. Vanarus is the one with the persistent lead.

>>158852221
>I didnt have horrors, firestorm, fog warriors, arch devils, vampires or other shit when you guys decided to kill me off.
And when I decided to kill you off I didn't even had Enslave Mind. It took me 4 turns only to march up to your closest castle. By that time you already was sending lesser horrors and Bloodletting spamer and kitted Father Illearth (Blood 7).
What I am trying to say is that I have never had any upper hand in terms of quality, quantity and research compared to you. And still you are pretending like you are a tactical master who won against those who was stronger than you.
Total bullshit.

>You also could have DISPELLED my globals. I mean 3 nations cant pool dispel? PATHETIC. You could have put perpetual storm up to stop my fliers.

I can't dispell anything thanks to +5 S income and all my mages are S-hungry on the battlefield.
Basically it's already beciming silly. The guy who has 3-4 more gems than anyone, including Ermor TEACHING others how they have to spend their few magical resources.

>But sure, tell yourself I was balling out of control and you were too late if it makes your ass hurt less.
It's funny. I was saying that I think that you are stronger than me or every other player in the very first our diplo message with the declaration of war. For me it was obvious from the start that only common successful actions can bring you down. And when Ulm got rekt it have become obvious for me that the game is yours. So my ass is not hurt even for the slightest, cause outcome was apparent.

It's just disturbing to see you pretending to be tactical genius, giving advices to everyone, teaching Ys. While your victory was really inevitable thanks to huge resources you possessed.

>>158853971

Lesser horror is blood5 same as bloodletting. Fairly sure I had Father Illearth a bit later but wont bother digging up the old turns at this point. Seeing as my closest fort was two turns away from our border I can only guess why it took you several to get near it.

Separately all of you were weaker than me but together you were stronger. I had 4 capitals (Abysia, Caelum, Asphodel, Machaka) you had 5 (TC, Ulm, Blog, Ys, Vanheim). You had more income and research and mages and troops.

I know for a fact you didnt bother trying to trade for gems for a dispel or filling the EMPTY global slots.

If you give up so soon no wonder you cant win. I will say it AGAIN. As Ys I would have WON against Abysia in this position. Easily. Not even close.

>>158854703
A big part of that argument seems to be that Ys was unvarnished garbage as a player. In his hands, abysia would have been completely ineffectual.

>>158819626
Thanks, got the router. All is well.

>>158854703
>I will say it AGAIN. As Ys I would have WON against Abysia in this position. Easily. Not even close.
Of course you can say that. Because you are liar.

Actually I was aiming at empty Global slot and was considering casting Mechanical Militia, but I could do that OR gear few Golem and Danava SCs and Heliophagi assasin to try actually capture some of your Thrones. I choose the latter. But it was too late.
Also I was considering to cast Blood Vortex when I reached Blood 8, but my lab in the capital got wrecked and I only had 200 girls to do that.
So I have to choose what can I do: summon 1 Heliophagi and Danavas or to cast Blood Vortex with 30 slaves overcast. Isn't it pathetic choice?
Basically again you are trying to teach people who to do things, while you have no knowledge about their options, situation and position. The same with Ys. You are just RoS fag and you think that since Ys can into RoS he is the top notch. But graphs shows the opposite. Abysia is top notch in that position. And a few RoS traps won't change that fact.

>>158855695
>you are liar
>you are RoS fag
Holy shit vava, calm down.

>>158855805

>>158855695
>>158855928

See

>>158850070
>>158850230

for a good RoS trap. Being a good player means predicting enemy movement and doing just this.

I will not bother arguing with you any more, its abundantly clear you do not want any advice and refuse to accept pointers on my position. Real position. Did you know all my devils came from a maximum of 20 contracts? My army size was very much limited to that, I havent summoned a single devil otherwise. If you managed to kill the devils I wouldnt be able to replace the losses faster than 20 max per turn (the number dropped to around 10 at game end when horrors ate my contract holders). But yea, no one bothered trying to kill them even if I flied them with 2 vampires most of the time (my mages cant fly so they mostly were behind them).

>arguing this much about a game that's over

Holy shit the autism. If you got so many problems with each other start a new game and hide your identities and see who wins this time.

>>158856450

>Holy shit the autism. If you got so many problems with each other start a new game and hide your identities and see who wins this time.

Does that make EA Aby good? The Tiens in ME can make all their cap mages immortal

>>158856694
Yes, EA Abysia is good. However, they are still extremely immobile, they have shit diversity, their blood hunters are cap-only, their mages suffer from old age and they suffer fairly extreme handicap in C3 dominion to name some of Abysia's problems. For this reason my intuition says EA Abysia in ME is only high-tier, not top-tier: their strengths have turned from big to overwhelming (for example, forget about high fire income in capital that you can use for lightless lanterns or whatever, you now have a global that can spawn E1F1 and sometimes even F3 sites in your dominion) but the counters remain the same as before.

What's the strongest faction and in what age?

Is there any unit that can increase the turmoil scales in a province?

Depends. I kept the game off for a good 6 months until sale because fuck paying that much money for a game I'm not sure how much time I'm gonna spend playing.

Testing pirated version was enough to get me interested, but the single-player experience doesn't speak much for how the online game is, and it's hard to figure out how you accommodate to the schedule and game-experience imposed by PBEM.

And honestly if games were on 48 hours timer from the first turn I wouldn't be playing. 24 is perfect for me since I'm always home for 2 hours in the morning and in the evening.

once i get done with my current agdg project im going to make a rance clone that steals all its mechanics from dominoes

>>158831482

I like to use bandit archers as arrow catchers. They have good enough armor to ignore a fair amount of short bow attacks, and it lets more of your fire oni live long enough to throw fireballs.

I don't know why people are worried about me. I have good research, but the thing you have to remember is:

I'm shit. I'm awful at this game, and always will be. The only reason I met with success against Itza is because that's literally the first time I met their army, and all other victories were won by running around before they could muster a response.

>>158869971
EA R'lyeh got some of their buffs rolled back.

>>158869971
kailasa now gets ktonian legions

>>158869971
MA TC got recruitable A8 mages.

Those are some pretty innovative strategies

>>158871627

Having tried them out, they are still somewhat weak. Their troops are quite crap, and everything costs so much money. They have good magic potential IF you can get up there, but you will struggle in an early war unless your enemy i weak to whatever awake pretender you go with.

>>158874719
I like that meme.

>>158874957
yup, they're still shit, a slight buff is hardly enough

Sorry about that, Hinnom.
Machaka is a strong, independent nation that don't need no scouts so I didn't know you were down there.

>>158875113

What I don't understand is why shillwinter nerfed them into the ground when they changed their pretender chassis. They used to be able to use the Virtue, which had everything they wanted. And if it died you could resummon it quickly. Great at clearing indies, good raider in early wars, good flamestorm delivery system later on.

Now the best they can get is a retarded Sheddu, Dragon or Scorpion Man

>>158877487
Virtue doesn't fit thematically. Like, at all.

>>158847590

It's Hexawyr, but with some of the bad starts marked nostart. Have added a link to the original version of Hexawyr (for the tga) to the game page.

Is Vampire Lord a good thug chassis?

>>158887142

If the opponent's PD doesn't have magic weapons, it's a decent thug even ungeared.
Not quite reliable enough that I'd risk sending it out-of-dominion, but still pretty solid.

>>158887020
Yeah but most of it needs something else to back it up.

Looking to trade for 14 nature gems. I can trade astral, fire, earth or water gems for them.

>>158887503
Yeah, a flying D3 can raid without gear

>>158887142

They're an immortal Enc0 regenerating flying stealthy D3 with Invuln 25 and Life Drain.

Yes. Yes they are very good Thugs.

Hell, you don't even need to gear them, most of the time. In your own Dominion you can do so with impunity. Outside you'll want to pick your targets.

>I have no idea of how much fatigue my masters were supposed to get
They'd get the normal fatigue for casting the spell, divided by (number of slaves + 1). So basically 1 per cast in this case.

>Why is it? What is wrong?
I'm not sure, your numbers look correct to me.

You'd be getting an extra chunk of fatigue from casting communion slave and PotS at the start, but that wouldn't affect the fatigue per turn.

I'd probably need to take a look at the actual battle to figure it out.

If I want to be an RP fag and go No blood MA Mictlan how fucked would I be?

>>158899097
MA Mictlan is the least bloody anyway isnt it?

oh, and Wizard's Tower. Three Red Seconds doesn't work, though.

>>158901445

>>158899097
In a small game that's over quickly, that's how it's expected to play out, pretty much. However, blood is your endgame so you'd be severely handicapped if you get to that stage.

>>158901734
Obviously this means blood needs some buffs

What's the easiest faction to learn the game with?

>>158902050
It kinda depends on what you mean by learn the game, but Fomoria's probably your best bet because they have a variety of different tactical/strategic options and can work with a huge variety of pretenders.

>>158902050
Abysia is pretty straightforward.
