>>159065292

Multi-province starts don't make shit maps un-shit, but they at least make playing on them more bearable.

>>159069791
Or you could suck it up and not be a bitch. Expansion is one of the more important parts of the game.

>>159069874
Yeah, suck it up next time when you start in a mountains with 2 connections one of which is gonna be the 3-point throne, and the other a heavy cav province.

>unable to deal with a level 3 throne and heavy cav
>as fucking vanheim
I was with you for a bit, but in this case it's just you being bad.

>>159073507
It was MA. And MA Vanheim even with double bless can't reliably deal with heavy cav for like 2 turns anyway because starting troops are mediocre and 4 vans won't change much. Just try it on a random map, you'll see what I mean.

And the passage about level 3 throne is fucking ridiculous. What are you gonna do on turn 2 against a RoS spammer, suicide your army?

>>159073826
>What are you gonna do on turn 2 against a RoS spammer, suicide your army?
Use Living Pillars :^)

>>159073826
>And MA Vanheim even with double bless can't reliably deal with heavy cav for like 2 turns
So you lose one turn of expansion. Big deal. You can split the parties up after you take it.

>What are you gonna do on turn 2 against a RoS spammer, suicide your army?
Walk over it. Unless you're doing innovative scales vanheim your expansion parties are all stealthy.

How important is skill in this game? Are there any factions that are just beyond all help?

>>159074743
That's what I did. The thing is, you need innovative resources in your cap to make innovative vans/einheres. Without provinces in cap circle, it's almost impossible to produce sacreds at a usually innovative rate.

>>159074787
Arguably there are, but unskilled player with a top-tier nation will still lose to an experienced one with a low-tier nation.

t. unskilled player with a top-tier nation

>>159074787
Pretty important. The gap between the weakest and strongest nations is pretty big, but a good player can definitely win with any faction. Unless you're MA Oceania, apparently.

>>159074787
Oceania is supposedly just useless, so is Vanilla Theo.

>>159075248
I haven't seen any Machaka wins either.

>>159075248
>Unless you're MA Oceania, apparently
EA* Oceania

MA Oceania at least has one trick. EA Oceania has only a little more than vanilla thed

>>159063204

>>159075978
>>159075994
I'm sorry dear friends, you are mistaken. I'm not currently playing Dalkrin in a game. I'm the creator. My mistake.

>>159075123
Einhere are available everywhere.

Vans cost 16 resources each - your capital alone can produce 5 a turn without production. That's as much as you have gold for anyway.

I'm not saying that it doesn't hurt at all, but you had basically the ideal nation to get stuck in that location. Anyone else would have been really screwed, vanheim should be just somewhat inconvenienced.

>>159076310
What tier would you place your nation? Top, middle, bottom? It probably has the highest number of territories in our custom nation game and it leads on the gem/research chart.

>>159077848
I was trying to get it balanced in line with the rest of the vanilla nations in the late age. I believe its considered middle or so on the main mod forums.

>>159078092
u wot m8

>>159076310
>>159078092
I can probably give some feedback once this game is over.

>>159077848
That's down to a good startposition and a lot of free space. I did not expand quickly for having an awake pretender, but I was allowed to expand well past turn 20. That coast cut off from the rest of the continent by a mountain range was just the ideal starting spot, and the RNGesus made it so I was the only one starting in notEurope. Gem income is a byproduct of that combined with the death capsite which is standard for undead nations.

Honestly I can't even use my territory properly anyway, had I been a living nation, I'd be leading those graphs by much more, since all this extra territory for me is almost useless, apart from a few nifty sites.

>>159063667
good evening gentlemen, Reminder that this map has very minor terrain clustering, and the man crying over multe-province starts should know that not a single Lvl 3 throne exists in this game.

I also hope we see many of the same players that were involved in the first Jojo games

>>159074787
In mixed skill games capable players can maintain 50%+ win rates playing a wide variety of nations (when average winrate would around 10% or less since most games have participants somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10 and only one can win). Some nations are very impotent compared to others and some capable nations have horrible matchups but if we're thinking of an expert player against a newbie or a scrub, the expert would win in all matchups.

There are numerous factors from tactics to diplomacy (when in game larger than a duel) that give a cumulative advantage, but one of the pronounced differences independent of played nations is bad players often being incapable of winning in a raiding game or making a determined assault. By dodging pitched battles the expert can conquer most of enemy territory without having to fight the enemy head on, and then win simply through virtue of having far more stuff: Many a time I've seen scrubs simply manoeuvering their deathball seemingly by random while I or some other assailant conquered their territory in blitzkrieg fashion with token forces without the enemy being able to predict where those forces would move next and catch them in the act.

Bogarus, you're not accomplishing anything but helping Pangaea win while losing most of your mages and soldiers. I told you more than an ingame year ago to stop attacking midgard.

>>159083786
Is it Kami?

>>159085171
If that's the game I think it is, i'm in it actually. I'm the LA Atlantis. Took down LA R'lyeh after a long and incredibly annoying war because seriously fuck his dominion.

>>159083786
Bogarus went AI (this turn I think), presumably after getting the bulk of their mage force feebleminded by Strands of Arcane Power. Oops!

But yeah, their behaviour was truly bizarre. I stand by my original analysis from around turn 20 (in my view Bogarus doesn't have a great matchup against Midgård so if I had been at helm, I would have sided with Pan against Midgård and dealt with that threat when it was more manageable and they were fighting nations other than just Pan) but they sat around doing nothing until the tables had most definitely turned and Midgård was neutralized, and then they effectively committed suicide by feebleminding their mages.

If Bogarus is around, I'd be really fascinated to hear their perspective and why they made the diplomatic choices they did (both in the initial neutrality and then turning against elves).

>>159085432
Don't all the sea recruits for LA Atlantis come with void sanity?

Oceanian Thred.

>>159087087
Shouldn't their stealth stuff make them pretty good at raiding and elfing stuff?

>>159085554
Just the expensive ones. And they arent as good as your regular stuff.

Can anyone upload a copy of that one "What I expected, what I got" image for Dom 4? Trying to persuade a friend to buy a copy.

>>159085554
They do, but the rest don't. Plus his dominion also has popkill, so towards the very end I was fighting in provinces with fuckall supply. End result is a huge pile of diseased guys that, whilst easily replaceable, is still a giant pain in the ass to deal with.

>>159074787

It boils down to skill vs knowledge, and at what point you consider knowledge to be skill. You need a shitload of knowledge for this game. On how the mechanics work, and how units interact with each other on the battlefield, what kind of spells are available to you as any given nation, and what sort of strategy you can use them for. What strategies are available for your opponent and what you can do to counter it.

The real strategic skill in my mind boils down to using these knowledge to get the upper hand on your opponent. Mind-games and predictions are a big part as well, since turns are simultaneous. Wars can be won by baiting enemy armies out of position or successfully dividing and conquering your enemy.

[SPOOKY INTENSIFIES]

>>159085519
Midgard here. Bogarus was fighting me for most of that period. Essentially as soon as I turned back jomon. It was a constant drain on my resources and attention. There was no point when I was fighting you 1v1.

I'll be playing Gath soon, how does an F4B9 bless sound, when the plan is to mass Se'ir as early as possible?

Dormant or imprisoned? Dormant would be available for soul contracts sooner, but it'll probably take more than half a year to get my blood economy in order.

Any tips for expansion? I'm thinking just go with levites, maybe with some archers.

>>159088873
I must confess I didn't keep scouts on the Eastern border between the two of you because Bogarus had rather garrisons in their forts and was constantly shuffling forces in their core territory and my border (sizeable forces complete with mages and in positions that didn't make a lick of sense if they were actually moved against you) so I never even guessed they could possibly be fighting a war elsewhere and didn't bother scouting provinces that I thought didn't have anything that could possibly interest me.

Goes to show how indecisive the player was and depending on if they actually committed with any kind of seriousness, makes your resistance more commendable than I thought (as it turns out, I still haven't finished the job because it seems costly).

Sorry, Yomi, but I'm taking that water province. It says you don't have anything there, so I'm doing it this turn. Nothing personal, I've just been choked out of sea provinces and kicked out of the land.

>>159097465
Yeah we're cool. I won't make any more attempts at the land until I've liberated the seas, and I'm not mad at you anymore.

Yay! Now I can get back to ??? because I think I underestimated how, uh, 'tricky' Hinnom is. Which is stupid because I literally asked people for a really bad nation to play so it's not like I shouldn't have seen it coming.

Whut? I am going to go fight indies.

>>159098005
okay, im keeping an army nearby just in case

>>159077683
Which is why a multi province start is actually preferable.

>>159098087
My army is tiny dont worry.

I would say that for most games, maybe a 2 province start is good. It's not really a big difference and it prevents insane worst case scenarios where RNG just ruins your game from literally turn 0.
Well, mostly. It's still dominions RNG so it could just fill the world with invisible air mages probably if it felt like it.

yomi........

Looks like there are 2,000 ghosts in this thread.

>>159098126
Nah, you just need non-shit maps.

Any decent map should have any 2 province areas labelled with nostart, and maybe even 3 province areas too.

>In the meantime one of our players was killed by a government death squad (I wish I was joking) but we'll find a sub. I hope to get better news soon!
God damn, the Chinese Illuminati are way more hardcore than ours

>>159104107
All maps should have at least 4 connections, or 3 connections with throne placements pre-placed.

And when I say connection, if it has a temp requirement - it doesn't fucking count. Neither do water provinces. Any amount of connections fewer than 4 (or 3 if thrones a pre-set) leads to a strong chance of fucking for tons of nations.

Though Vanheim is not one of them.

>>159082312
Don't listen to the baddies asking for multi-province starts.

>>159105986
They just sound sloppy. The only way you find out when our illuminati has done anything, is when players mysteriously triple stale. They even go to the length of bringing in a decoy to keep taking the player's turns after!

Does liquid body reduce trample damage?

Rather than delay the turn again, hosting interval was changed to 48 hours. It's late enough that this kinda makes sense anyways.

>>159112420
It should since trample is AP damage last time I checked

>>159116514
AP has nothing to do with it. Liquid body reduces piercing/bludgeoning/slashing damage, so it depends on whether trample is one of those damage types.

>>159117429

I don't know, and I've never even seen it talked about before.

>>159138782
AoE attacks. 100 Precision spells. Misiles may help.

>>159138782
Given the high defense on elves, ranged weapons or AoEs. Flaming arrows tend to pop elves real good.

>>159138782
In battle? Massed ranged attacks and AoE attacks to pop their glamour.

>>159139135
worth noting that the Fires from Afar also hits stealthed units, but you may need multiple casts to kill the elves

>>159139368
OH! You're fighting Ys's glamour knights

Use your lobsters. Trample doesn't care about glamor one bit, and big trample attacks will also do enough damage to kill the knights through their heavy armor whenever they fail the def check.

>>159139501
also, the soulslay/paralyze astral spells ignore glamour entirely.

Also also, water elementals have a BUNCH of high damage AP attacks, so they work well too (then again, they work against most everything UW).

Flame Jellies can also work

>>159139368
Hilariously, reef warriors pop glamour by getting hit with hoof attacks. Flame jellies and lobsters are better, though.

>>159140349

>>159128216
>>159143060
I'll work on getting a sub. Other players have had a bad time expanding, so one stale is acceptable in this case. I might be willing to roll back the turn if enough people want to do it.

The sub position is open to players of all skill levels, but it may only be temporary.

Would you prefer Prod 2 Misf 2 or Sloth 3 Luck 3 on blessless EA Agartha.

>>159157735
They either stomp shit dead or they die horribly.

It's a bit too 50-50 for my taste.

>>159158517
Luck. Agartha expands fine with sloth. Agartha likes olms, summons, and mages. The only reason you even bother with Agarthan units is temporary line holders until you can replace them with mercuries, magma children, earth elementals, and umbrals

>>159158517
If I had to pick one, I'd go with sloth and luck. I'd rather have S2L2 though, in order to have slightly better armored front-liners, which matters in the early game even though you stop caring about them in the midgame with earth elementals.

>>159157735
Which era?

>>159158880
EA

>>159158982
You could, but it's probably just easier to just use basic pale one infantry+olms to fire closest.

Blind expansion failed. After that I expanded okay with ponies (and said so in-game, been trying to get chatter going).

>>159167907
It's not a good bless, though. E9 and S9 are barely helpful.

You could take N9E6 and have nearly as good a bless.

>>159168523
I was honestly thinking of attacking you as well, not gonna lie.

>>159168545
it might not be a good bless but it's still hinnom, he doesn't have much to repel it

is this ryleh or yomi?

>>159168820
Wouldn't you like to know. Dont worry, you wont see me for a few turns yet.

i attacked hinnom because he took the throne on my island

i didnt commit my full forces to the attack because i can see fomoria and yomi moving troops around. i had just enough to drive off his chariots.

he also has a second one in his general area

what's he planning?

>>159169746
Looks p good to me. Jotun's expansion isn't resource-capped and he can take those provinces later on since no one else can get them.

I have mostly been bumbling around dealing with a huge throne right beside me. I only got out of my cap ring like two turns ago.

You cast Black Death on their capitals and just ignore them. UW nations win 0.00001% of games they're in.

I took literally a single capring province so I could actually access more than 4 land provinces. Arco, Atlantis, and Ys all violated UWprotocol to a greater extent and with less cause.

Anyways.

Nothing personnel, squids just gotta squid (even if I have zero land forts so I can't even build squid men)

About to join in game as a Asphodel, never played them or any other cancer nation before.

What to expect and any small tips?

>>159220159
Expect shit late-game and solid early-midgame.

Protip: buy (or craft) 2 slave matrices and 1 master matrix, give master matrix to a H3 dude and slave matrices to any 2 mages (preferably undead) to get H4 and cast mass regeneration for all your undead units on the battlefield. Alternatively, just boost H3 to H4 with artifacts, but that's slow as fuck.

http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=CastInTheNameOfBobYeNotGuilty

>>159220582

>>159220582
Sure, you can just prophet a Carrion Lord, but you still want to have mass regen caster in all armies.

>>159220582

That's also doable, but you're generally going to want to have more than one army.

>>159220673
True.

Better Arena gives you a random artifact for every win, and the winner is not obligated to fight again.

>>159220743
>>159220673

Note, mind you, that the Mass Regen effect is MR Negates Easily.

Which is fine for chaff, but if you want to reliably get the effect on your dead centaurs, you'd best have the guy kitted with extra Pen gear.

>>159221160
Just have Carrion Lord spam it 5 times in a row. It's great with skelespammers too, as it works on all undead units.

>>159221478
>>159221445
Funny that Ulm's soldiers become more resistant to magic by being extremely dense.

>>159221262

Yeah. As I said, fine for chaff. Sagittarians are MR14 though. Meaning that, with five casts, you're getting about a third of them buffed.

Which is unfortunate, because they get the most benefit from it.

If you add an Eye of the Void, that jumps to just over a half for your five casts. Eye of the Void and a Rune Smasher? Three quarters. You can also get similar effects by increasing your communion size, for the +1 pen per two path levels. If you get a Lizard Shaman province, you fort the shit out of it right away and defend it with your life.

Scales have an effect as well. The difference between spamming it in Magic 2 and Drain 2 is noticeable. Something to bear in mind when planning your wars.

>>159220274
>give master matrix to a H3 dude
Won't work if he doesn't have paths.

>>159221851

>>159222827
So what's the issue? Malakal isn't actually a very good player, he's rather average, but he spends a lot of time diplomancing which usually lets him get to a strong position before going to war (mainly because 90% of players don't diplomance which means they don't have a big picture).

Correct response to Malakal threat:
If someone invites you to the Steam chat, and you confirm that player is Malakal, you just invite everyone else in the game to the Steam chat and kill him on turn 12. Easy.

Nah, that's a failure of diplomacy too.

You want people to think you're behind a couple of people (more in a large game), but still near the top. Strong enough to be a bad idea to fight without a coalition, but not important enough to start a coalition against.

Malakal doesn't say he's weak - he says other people are stronger.

I will admit that I'm kind of amused at the sudden paranoia and panic at the name malakal.

Should I intentionally expand poorly while playing a powerful nation so I my neighbours dont see me so dangerous and dont rush me?
Or expand the best I can so they are scared? Dont really know if this works at all.

Asking... uh... for a friend.

You're probably playing with scrubs who will go AI after the first loss anyway, so do whatever.

>>159224908
Always get the best expansion possible

Unless you are Joe Esposito levels of the best around, always expand as best as you can.

Hey Atlantis, have you been paid?

So Ulm, precisely how would you like me to respond to you spamming Bane Venom Charm Poison Golems?

Should I horror spam all you provinces in exchange? Or just horror spam the people making the golems, if you know what I mean?

As an aside, you probably shouldn't have chosen to do that to a province that literally required teleportation to reach. Sort of gave away whose responsible ya know.
