>>161896436
I was just waiting for the right moment to get most of the heroic rescue. And I don't remember if you can even bump your own threads here.

Why was it that a previous pantokrator made fish blood useless for blood magic?

>>161896954
FUCK fish people, FUCK blood magic and most of all FUCK fish people who use blood magic
that's why

>>161897137
How com sum1won is planing to give Oceania blood magic so?

Are behemoths, ziz, and leviathans worth summoning?

>>161820390

Because actual diplomonsters will use any tactic to confuse noobs, up to and including creating fake diplomonsters to deflect attention from their diplomonstering.

Can't beat a diplomonster (unless you can kill the entire map at the same time with less overall resources, which is certainly not impossible).

How can I use a Virtue as an awake expander? What sort of research/scripting/equipment would help? I'm thinking.. F4A5 for paths.

Thank you for the help!

>>161898007
What's in that big bad demon army?

That was unfortunate for me, Per-En. Mind telling me which way you're heading so that my next expansion party doesn't bounce harmlessly off of yours?

>>161897743
I've never used Ziz. I've heard it's good, but the D3A2 casting requirement and having to summon them individually makes them hard to get access to.

Behemoths are situationally useful. If your enemy isn't expecting them you can do a lot of damage with buffed up behemoths, but they're too expensive for general use.

Leviathans appear to fill the same role as behemoths, but are more expensive and harder to summon. Just get a behemoth instead.

>>161898503
Indeed it was...although not as sad as the show, particular snakes put against indies.
I'll be taking the province north of my party, the one next to river. After that I am done with that side of mountain and will retreat, good luck with expansion.

>>161898389

flesh hounds, juggernaughts, chaos harpies, chosen warriors close to becoming bloodletters. With w9n9b9.

>>161898362

Air Shield Hold x 3 Attack Rear

Dies to skeletons, anything else without morale, any kind of mage that isn't a Cloud Mage (LR), Lances (both light and heavy) and also sometimes at random. Gets afflictions instantly if fighting outside dominion.

A5 is mandatory because if it does it can still make air hats. Air boosters big reason to take one, as you get air boosters and expansion. Not the best expander even so by far, but very pretty and thematic. Mistform and stuff make it better at expansion but by the time you have those expansion should be over/mostly over.

You're doing Pankomans work Altdorf. Certainly puts my own little scrap with Morka into perspective. Next time I must remember not to trap my knights behind a wall of archers.

ive just realized what a slog we're in for

>>161897743

Ziz - flying sieging giant fear bird. Only usable in battles with buffs.

Behemoth - undead elephant with +hp. Only usable in battles with buffs.

Leviathans - underwater thing. Only usable with buffs.

>>161899683
Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping for.
I was expanding with it in a few practice games, and I'd really want it to have the forging options. And, as you said, it's pretty/thematic. But I keep occasionally getting diseases and I just hate when my SC dies before year 1 or at the end of it.

Machaka? That's news to me. I haven't played with him in about a year so I just assumed C'tis was still the one nation he ever picked.

>>161900821

Virtue is NOT an SC. It's an expander. Against player troops, player magic, it just dies. If someone has an army a virtue can kill, they are pretty bad. By the time it has gear, enemies have Earth Grip and so on so forth.

>>161903183

Already that sounds like a great tip! I will play around with others, I just really like Abysia. 'Main' was the wrong term to use, my 'favorite' would have more accurate.

>>161906934
>>161908302
On the one hand, yeah. On the other hand, magic kinda is still core to Dominions. See - MA Ulm and its hatred for magic

>>161908547
Yeah but Khorne doesn't even have any mages. Even the captured scribes they get in the mod is totally out of character.

>>161908302

Tzeentch and so on have their own flaws. Just seem smaller due to Khorne existing.

Khorne should be a freespawn nation that relies on xp levelups to have more-useful units. And multiheroes with turn limits, with onebattlespells.

>>161909418
Or the bigger guys have to spend a turn summoning allies or something.

>>161915484
Its the first turn nigga, unless they have some next level scouts they arent going to see shit.

By the way, can you actually kill enemy gods with assassinations?

>>161915643
My scouts are posted in /domg/

>>161916670
Depends on the chassis. A rainbow chassis, almost anything will kill that if it's unscripted, but a titan pretender will be tougher to take down

>>161916670
Yes you can. Any gods that would be awake at this point are probably badasses though and would fuck up an assassin.

What's the most cost-effective generic way to get flying undead leadership? Bane with flying boots?

>>161916105
Incidentally, for those of you who don't know how to tell who is strongest: Invest in some goddamn scouts you chunderflunder.

>Bbbut they cost gold I need for x
You don't need x as much as you need to know what us going on. If you depend on other players for info you will get tricked, and having two more theurgs or 40 more black plates won't make a goddamn difference.

>>161918284

>40 more black plates

I'd more question why, if you have the res but not the gold, you haven't fucking killed someone yet? As MA Ulm? Passive noobs I tell you what.

Speaking of passive noobs, I'm doing my second attempt at an aggressive, low-diplo game to practice early warfare and warfare in general. Since I'm not taking the extra time to set up a diplomatic web of intrigue, what's a good way to avoid walking into a gangbang? Normally I spend the first 20-30 turns sussing out alliances and building rapport with my neighbors while letting everyone else embroil themselves in conflict but being the first one to go to war has a level of liability I'm not used to.

I suppose I could just ask, but even though I love the skullduggery stuff I'm not enough of a fucknugget to say, "Hey you me fight this other guy?" then attack the first guy even though it seems like a fairly effective tactic.

>>161918529
>Missing the point this hard
Go to bed cirno

>>161918894
Make a case for the mutual benefit of removing a guy who borders you both. Nations that are strong late game, blood nations, nations that you can bullshit about how good their expansion is, nations that have a reputation and also players who have been rude. You'll be surprised how many wars start just because one player is a dick.

Magoth x Bifrons OTP

>>161918894
As someone who dislikes doing diplo - you kinda have to do it anyways. You don't need to invest a huge amount of time into it, but you still need to talk to all your neighbors to figure out whose head is where. Even if you don't want their help fighting whoever you're invading, you do want them to be otherwise occupied so that they don't attack you and force you to pull mages off research and invest in dudes where you'd prefer to make more forts and labs

Do all MP games use normal research speed? Is any setting more than normal for absolute madmen?

LA Machakan thread

>>161923638
when you play with the settings you risk making an already imbalanceable game more volatile

>>161923638
More difficult makes the game incredibly unfun. Easier fucks up timings and shit. It makes the game chaotic, and I prefer it like that, but I can see why no one else does, and normal is perfectly alright

I just had a neighbor I've been peaceful with go AI on me. I need to gobble them before my other neighbors do. The only open resource I can make enough summons with is blood and the access is very low without many useful crosspaths. What's the best blood chaff I can summon and buff with my research mages (should be able to communion to fogwarriors and cast some Earth buffs but not army of X yet.)

>>161923638
Normal settings are pretty slow to begin with, such that even nations with good research might not complete research even in a single school and finishing research is very rare in all but the largest of games. I used to feel easy research might be preferable due to being better able to get some basic magical counters to rushes online, but nowadays I think normal research is mostly fine. However, difficult or very difficult most certainly would be too slow.

>>161924945
I was leaning towards spine devils over snek fiends.

Llama ded?

Is there a major difference between sabbaths and communions?

>>161927553
Not really
The only difference is that sabbaths use a blood slave to get into one (also takes a lot of fatigue) whilst astral does it for free
Sabbaths and communions can even join together

so africa given that squidward is within striking distance of winning, perhaps i could stop sieging you if you agree not to do that thing again

>>161927553

Fatigue and blood-slaves required. They're otherwise the same. Communion Slaves and Sabbath Slaves go into the same pool for fatigue-sharing/path-boost purposes.

For this reason, you're generally best using Astral slaves even with Blood masters. Less slave micro and faffing about.

hjow many domboys would make suitable blood slaves

>>161923638
Most blitzes I've been in use easy settings.

Huge ass games with mass divides between players (i.e. Oeridia, and nothing else really) should use Difficult Research . . . since it takes twice as long to find another player.

Of course, Oeridia games are a mistake for a host of other reasons.

Would you say it's excessive to keep a scout in every single unpatrolled province of other players?

Because I tend to do that.

>>161933667
That's not excessive, that's proper gameplay.

>>161933667

By late game? Fair enough.

Early/mid, you're better off making sure you can at least tell who owns everything.

This does of course depend.

Flying forestreq national scouts make life considerably easier compared to your only stealthy national commanders being caponly.

>>161933971
I pretty much just set any province I find with indy scouts on repeat recruit. I do tend to prioritize getting more complete information on my immediate neighbors than what goes on in the rest of the world, though.

>>161934367
I literally have the inspector open now. There's no female tag

>>161934485

Yeah. Sometimes you have shit luck with indies though.

I've lost games to that. You can only afford to make so many scrying items, if you're playing a nation with no stealthy commanders.

>>161934684
They must've just changed it. Alas.

>>161934801
That's never happened to me. At that point I guess I'd consider investing in shadow imps if I have blood. Maybe even black servants if that's the only option, even though they're kinda expensive for general scouting.

>>161935159

It's not frequent, but it's fucking annoying when it happens.

Like playing half blind.

>>161935423
That's why you should be like me and never use scouts at all. You can condition yourself to fight blind, then!
Also, never do any scripting ever.
T. Not Malakal

Am I doing something wrong? After 30 turns or so I typically have a shitload of gold and never go bankrupt unless I'm LA R'lyeh and have the infinite masses of free units. And I hear you people talking about having gold management issues.

>>161937518
You need more forts and mages.

>>161937518
Try building forts and recruiting mages.

>>161937518
You should invest in infrastructure to recruit mages (forts with labs and maybe temples) until you can spend all of your gold every turn on mages.

>>161937518
Get more mages. If you're already getting mages everywhere you can, build more forts with labs to get more mage recruitment.

>>161937518
More mages bought per turn means:
- more research, so your mages are more effective in combat, you can forge better items, and you can magic up better summons
- more sites searched, so you have more gem income for the above things
- more combat mages to spam evocations or cast communions slave

Shock resist thugs. Or wear them out with summoned chaff.

Hello, I'd like to make sure I'm right on the results of a multi-action turn ordering issue within 1 turn.

So, magic ritual teleporting a mage(that has stealthy) to a province with orders of casting 1 spell(that uses a gem with -> retreat on an enemy army, with one province to retreat to should have that mage retreat to that once province. My question is if that enemy army is marching too that province, what happens to my mage? will their be a new battle with the mage now taking part in it? Assuming the mage can take part in both battles, could I double up on the harassing gem spell tactic?

Side question, what amount of MR makes mind hunting difficult and is it worth it to equip a 'Spell Focus' item(1 penetration, "Fool's Luck")?

>>161942948
Four, actually. I've been keeping track.

Read the manual. It means that you're breaking fort defence. As the attacker you won't know how fast you're breaking the fort, that's why you need to look at the units in the province before you move there. Honestly, if you can't break a single fort as Lemuria you should git gud, you can just bring more ghosts.

im a little buttmad that i didnt pull off the win after that comeback but at the same time im responsible for out-microing my bigger neighbors to the point of beating both hinnom, yomi, and machaka so my win is coming soon

How much damage does's Wrathful Skies "lightning strike" do? Looking through the manual the only mention of lightning strike is as attacks on units as a -3 damage hit(which I assume to mean strength-3?) So would this do Strength-3 from the caster who casts the spell?

>>161951365
The hell are you smoking, senpai? Wrathful skies hits with thunder strikes. Look up the spell in dom inspector.

https://larzm42.github.io/dom4inspector/

>>161951365
It uses the same sprite as the spell lightning bolt. It could be a different arbitrary amount of damage, but the base lightning bolt damage (14) fits with my experiences with the spell.

I might test it, see what comes up.

>>161951729
>Wrathful skies hits with thunder strikes.
Hits from wrathful skies do not have the AoE bonus damage of thunder strike, and it doesn't kill humans reliably enough to be doing 26 damage per hit.

>>161953006
I kind of get the same feeling about damage being lower, but it still hits everything in a square, so it's AoE 1. Do you mean bonus stun damage?

Thunder Strikes hit for a low amount of damage in AoE 6 in addition to the initial AoE damage. That AoE 6 damage is the bonus I was referring to.

Results from testing:

Wrathful skies does somewhere between 10 and 15 shock damage. I'm going to assume 14 rather than do a more specific test, everything else points to it just being a normal lightning bolt.

Wrathful skies only hits a single target in each square. This is also like a lightning bolt.

Then they all dive in bareback and fuck it.

When they can't find a man
Because he has ran
The best they can do's make a puppet.

But the puppet's no fun
When you're man's on the run
So an elf got frustrated and struck it.

They'll chase after your ass 'til they fuck it.

They have foreign recruit stealthy map move 3 flyers. This means that they both raid and expand very, very well.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.

It ends in the same three phonemes. Two are switched but you can de-emphasize that depending on how you talk.

That's only because very few things are as cheap as militia.

I can think of a handful of them: hoburgs, slingers, war dogs (MA Ulm), vaetti, markata. All better than militia, most substantially so.

Try comparing 2x militia (or zotz) to a 14g unit instead.

God, that pic is always so evocative.

Do you know who's the artist? I'd really want to see more of his/her work.

/domg/, let's discuss Quadbless Mictlan. Just what kind of a Bless is best with them?

F9 is frequently added from what I see. The bonus to their attack skill and the flaming attacks is quite useful, given the sheer quantity of attacks Jaguar Warriors can put out.

A9 is not something I've seen much of, although I suppose it could be useful in Crossbow Age, in addition to making your mages better at slinging evos.

W9 is almost mandatory due to the Defense boost and the additional attack.

E9 would compensate for the distinct lack of armour on your sacreds, as well as keep them fighting longer.

S9 might be a viable option if you're expecting Rain of Stones to factor in, but chances are it's being picked for Wish.

D9 really does add to the survivability of jags, and 2 AN MR damage adds up when coupled with a W9, or the attack density of transformed jags or eagle warriors.

N9 is practically mandatory, due to the regeneration and added HP.

B9 adds to their damage, and serves to mitigate losses from ranged attackers or evocations.

Keeping all this in mind, what's the best bless?

N9B9W9E9? N9D9W9B9?

>>161992751
B9S9F9W9

>>161992751
Typically F9 is added because the chassis needed for quadbless at a reasonable price has to take F9. It really isn't ideal,

>>161993091
There is no such thing as quadbless at a reasonable price. The best you can do is quadbless at a physically possible price.

>>161992962
What Chassis would you use for that? The closest I can get to that is a 2 dom human pretender, which is a little bit worrisome.

>>161992751

E9 is mandatory or at least Ex. If you put ALL your eggs in the sacred basket they need to fight a long time and you wont have many of them.

W9 is fairly self explanatory and quickness effect is good.

F9 is great against elves, ethereal units and adds a lot more killing power, definitely up there.

D9 is extra survival and mainly AN attack, could work and its quite cheap.

N9 helps you keep your sacreds longer. Cant say no to hp and regen.

B9 is very good due to major and extra dmg from minor is also useful.

I'd say N9E9W9B9 would be best.

>>161993392
that bless was a meme bless I made up as a joke, I don't think it's at all good

>>161993658
I'm testing it out now, actually. It works fairly well. The S9 largely negates any heavy cavalry you come across while expanding, and everything else turns them into a blender.

>>161993768
Reasonably sure any quadbless will turn any sacred that isn't a vestal or a flagellant into a monster. Doesn't mean other blesses aren't better. The one in >>161993641 is way better, I think.

What's the modding tag for bringer of fortune, like what Rus' firebirds have?

>>161993641
Your sacreds as Mictlan are jags, though. Their attack is honestly pretty mediocre, which means that an F bless actually does substantially increase their damage output. Your argument for E bless is sound, but given how low their encumbrance is, I'm not sure if I'd rather have F9 or E9 on them.

Does fatigue reset for units with second shape?

>>161994648

Did you calculate in the extra survival from 5 prot (which is a massive % increase from their normal prot) and the extra fatigue from W9?

Plus all your sacred mages will love it.

F9 is a good idea but then I think W9 is risky.

>>161992751
Having tried it and tribless in blitzes, tribless is better. You still need to manage your dom to prevent your bad scales from spreading, but you get nearly twice as many jags.

>>161995282
I haven't tried it with E to see how it compares, but neither FWNB nor WNB ran into any fatigue issues.

>>161994648

I can see E9. Jags have shit enough prot that it just about takes them out of "Oneshottable even through N9", at least.

>>161997295
>>161997397

I also think he is wrong about one shotting.

BUT.

Normal elite unit in EA has a spear/shord sword and around 13 str (revelers, maidens, fir bogl etc). Thats 19 dmg attack. Jags have 12/10 prot with E9 so they receive 7/9 dmg per hit with no DRN added. Without E9 they get hit for 12/14 dmg per hit. Jags have 18+12+8 (N9) hp so 38hp total. 7/9 dmg per hit means you need 6/5 attacks to kill a jaguar with 12/14 dmg you only need 4/3 attacks. Thats 50% more attacks to kill for E9.

Plus when you factor in attack density and regen E9 comes even more ahead.

There isn't a Warhammer mod. There's just a bunch of custom Warhammer nations from various authors and slap dash compilations. It's thus a miracle that any of it is balanced.

>>162001693
To be fair one guy made like half (or so?) of the Warhammer mods, or at least modified them in the conversion from Doms 3 to Doms 4.

>>162001693
Yes but I always see there is that MemeThrone game with the warhammer factions

Speaking of mods is Magic Enhanced essential?

>>162002794
Nah. Summod and WH are the only two default mods. ME is more for when you want to try out some whacky new stuff

>>162002794
The MemeThrone game just uses a compilation of those other mods that had some of the glaring bugs worked out by some under qualified moron Me and most of the nations are stupid when compared to the vanilla nations.

>>162002794
Magic Enhanced is cool, but it's not essential. That said, I'd love to have it in every game I'm in.

Someone saw it. Someone always sees it.

Would it be a good thing if scales had different weights on a nation-by-nation basis? For example; MA Ermor gets +/- .1% popgrowth per Growth/Death scale because its dominion is slanted so far towards Death that you can't change it much, one way or the other. For a similar example, Abysia's native Heat is reset to 0, and the income bonus/malus is also lessened, because its dominion is so hot that you can't make it much better or worse. Or, MA Ulm's Drain has less effect on fatigue/research per scale because when you can't have negative magic, Drain 3 doesn't change much.

Obviously, the amount of design points a given scale requires/gives would also be altered according to the nation.

>>162007031

Neat idea in principle, would massively overcomplicate things in practice. The current effects allow considerable variation depending on nation while still being fairly straightforward to get your head around.

Unique dominion effects are applied as unique dominion effects, independent of scales.

Underrated post

That guy, Taorec, only made/ported like 5 of the mods, and all of them are awful.

What's better for MA Marignon:

W9E9, W9S9 or W9N9? All of them are cheap to get on a statue or oracle, with P3H3G3Misf2

Standard W9 lets you have better scales, but I feel like knights of the chalice are good enough to win wars against basically anything in year 1 if they're dual blessed rather than just W9.

I'm leaning more towards S9W9 because S9 on an imprisoned Oracle lets you summon Seraphs with just one F empowerment and one misc fire booster, traded for or forged by a D empowered national/indie F1D1 mage

>>162009478
E9N9

Your chalice knights do work if you make them tanky.

>>162002981
>>162003367
Have your Magic Enhanced games been fairly fun or wickedly wonky?

>>162009478
S9 let's you wish for seraphs. They're cheaper that way, even accounting for GoR.

There's basically four sacreds to consider when taking a bless; Flagellants, Knights, Mages and Harbingers.

Pretty much the only way Flagellants have any value is with B9. The ability to heavily discourage mass evo is valuable and not really otherwise obtainable.

Knights benefit most from W9, not getting hit is better than tanking hits.

Mages like E minor and A minor. With both those minors you'd get A-boosters and elemental staves. Communions also like N9.

Harbingers like E minor followed by N9.

In conclusion? It depends.

>>162009478
shit I fucked up, only W9S9 is easily available
>>162010013
In my testing, E9N9 doesn't work as well. In first year, on average, I lose between 1 and 2 knights, and next to no afflictions with W9S9, but I lose substantially more than that with N9E9, to the point where I lose my expansion parties to heavy cav and such, which doesn't happen at all with W9S9

>>162011015
I've had plenty of fun in Summod with sloth Marignon taking F9S9B9 on an imprisoned Baphomet and pillaging to produce hordes of flags

>>162010671
Late game's still a slog, but the units I'm slogging with are different. ME stuff is, in general, vastly better than vanilla stuff, so nations that have ready access to it are stronger overall. 1.2 nerfed some of the more egregious stuff, but a lot's still there.

>>162011015
Fun fact - summod makes all the angel spells cheaper. Seraphs in particular are much cheaper and worth summoning with the national spell now.

>>162009478
N9E4 for angel build for lategame with knightly lineholders (you're right that they're not as good at expanding as W9, but they're still okay at it) or S9B9F9W9 for meme flags

>>162011303
What are some examples of strong ME stuff?

>>162012282
Shows up fine for me. Did you refresh?

>>162012537
Back now. Weird.

So how is the Race War going for everyone? It seems peaceful for now but I imagine the independent provinces should really be drying up right about now at the beginning of year 2. Any clear winners or losers yet?

>>162013196

Well, no.
