>>166463273
Seriously? Did no other team prioritize fucking Lanka? Why?

>>166464609

Because its a turmoil nation? Because there are way better blood nations?

>>166464658
Who? Bats and mictlan?

Ok so I just kinda noticed that I fucked up the game I was in and I really don't see I can recover from that.
How do I learn to avoid stupid situations and is there a game I can join where a kind of beginner can learn something?

>>166464789

Community Clash is All Ages, no?

>>166464789

Berytos Xibalba Mictlan LA Ulm to name just a few.

Lanka unique summons aren't even very good. They need a super bless to be competitive, compare them to ozelotls or seir.

>>166464862
Wow, thanks for talking shit without knowing which nations are banned. We always appreciate your informed opinion, Rejakor.

>>166464827

This is summod specific but anything wrong with putting a Midget Masher on a Niefel Jarl in lieu of the usual weapon choices?

It gets Area of Affect 1 using regular (magic) damage in summod on top of the 2x damage against smaller enemies so it seems viable on giants with high reinvig and quickness

pic related is AI testing with ring of regen+messenger boots+shroud+girdle of might and quickness cast; no heroic ability or veterancy

>>166467448
It takes up a shield, but otherwise, no.

>>166467448

Why would your Shroud a Jarl? They can self bless, and with a regen bless you really want a higher prot option.

But yeah, that does sound pretty good. The main issue is the lack of shield. That does hurt, although Jarls are probably tough enough to manage.

Did pythium stale?

>>166467696
Yes. I sent you an in-game PM about that, considering you're his neighbour.

>>166467598
Shroud was just placeholder gear essentially to get rid of standard gear enc 1

>>166467448
1. Midget Masher requires E1 which you can only guarantee from your god.

2. Killing power isn't usally what a jarl needs.

3. Losing a vineshield is a big loss in survivabilty if you want your jarl to SC.

He can probably kill PD without gear, and the masher won't help you versus actual threats.

>>166468810
>>166467448
Test how it works versus skelespam, that's the only situation I can think of offhand where it might be worthwhile over brand + shield.

>>166448000
>>RocketPapaya: Jotunheim
>Expert

>>166448246
Whoever wrote that list is for sure memeing you.

>>166469207
Well, considering Niefel has no native earth and fire access, it's all the same shit (you need non-native paths for them or to trade with others), and jarls can cast quickness, so whichever AoE weapon you'll use it's gonna hit almost exactly the same. And skellies don't need much damage to kill.

>>166469246
Yeah fuck it maybe I'll join later today

>>166464862
Reality disagrees with all but one of those.

>>166469336

The masher will do splash damage to skeletons. A frost brand won't. Fire brand would do better of course, but that's two non-native paths rather than just one.

>>166469696

Ulm at least is readily explainable. New players keep getting it suggested to them. It's really a pretty fucking solid nation.

>>166469885
I was implying fire brand, of course.

Still, 2h weapons are very niche. Better grab a shield.

>>166468810
Niefel Jarls have enough survivability from their spell options that the loss of vineshield isn't a huge thing.

>>166469207
it's AoE 1 dies twice every turn more or less where other AoE weapons are 1 enemy dies and their buddies will probably die; it's also AoE 1 dies up to size 4. It deals 40-70 damage per hit on AoE so it's very reliable

I'd say it performs as well as vine shield+brand for 10 gems less; it definitely doesn't do any better and it's a bit reliant on stacking enough survivability on your Jarl with spells that only other significant combatants are a problem but its much better at killing those other significant combatants. At a bit of a guess I'd think this would be preferable if you're gonna be fighting a size 3-4 sacred army; sacred knights would definitely die faster to this than brand without being meaningfully affected by vine-shield.

Also it's only useful on Size 5 and Size 6 SCs, others need not apply

I feel like Abysia would be a more useful nation if there were ways to spend fire gems before research levels 5 and 6.

Still have 4 slots left for Autism Wars
http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=AutismWars
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vanheimageofvidya/discussions/1/143388132201642949/

>>166470830

Well, if Jarls can tank long enough they can start ignoring prot, on account of everything having passed out. With Breath of Winter up and a Rime Hauberk they get enough chill to fatigue longdead, although it's not fast about it. Anything without cold res is fucked in two or three rounds.

>>166472830
I'm pretty sure chill number is just AoE, not strength.

>>166470830
>>166472830
after thinking about it it's really more of a cheap army support thug weapon

Gygjas hit the thugs with enlarge (Skittles or Niefel Jarls, doesn't matter if enlarge is in play) and then they tear a hole through the enemy ranks supported by units to tank a few hits for them
then the Jotun Wolves you got instead of dropping gems on vine shields arrive and scare the fuck out of anything that isn't morale perfect for whatever reason

seems like it'd be a solid answer to fog warriors too

but yeah it's probably a bad idea to kit out raider thugs like this

>>166475047
it's probably X is AoE and every 5 is +1 intensity

Now that I'm awake AND dead, I wanna say I had fun and greatly await the sequel game. Or any RP game for that matter.

You guys better die real fast.

Oi i'll be sending the emissary for the feast in the form of a message to everyone. And I strongly encourage the rest of the players to do so. Would be p. fun.

>>166476586
judging by the absolutely retarde amount of thrones, I think this match will end in 20 turns at best

>>166477071
I just sent a message to Ur. Its nothing special. If he feels like caping it its up to him.

>>166477390
Well it is a feast after all, it's a meeting of emissaries. Seems like a chance for RPing some alliances and trade deals in. Or a cause for war.

>>166477662

Can you fags at least bump the thread sometimes, huh? It's only me and weebposter.

How important do you guys think Order 3 / Misfortune 3 is on EA Mictlan, because I kinda want to try T3/L3. Do I fuck my self over doing this or could this work if I push my dominion to my provinces?

>>166491967

Never fucking go Misfortune 3.

Unless the game has events set to rare. But then you're playing a game with a shit admin, so why would you do that?

>>166492030
How am I supposed to afford my bless then? I understand that as a Blood Nation, Mictlan kinda needs growth 3, Sloth doesnt hurt though so I go 3 there, what about Drain or Magic? I'm new and trying to get my game on

>>166493189

That's a pretty good bless for Mictlan, yeah.

You could probably afford to drop the E4 though, is pretty pricey being an off-chassis path. That'd get you enough points to go two scales up and improve your dominion score a notch as well.

You can of course go Full YOLO Tribless Shenanigans, but that relies heavily on being able to manage your dominion spread so you don't get your cancer into all of the stuff you own.

Here's what I'd do.

>>166494038
That would actually be super cool. Something like starting without a fort/lab/temple. Maybe a new set of god choices so you have a somewhat less free-win awake expander. And a lot of the sites/events where you can get in fights for money/items.

Also what do you do with your Prophet, do you just prophetise the first commander or do you take your scout for sacrificing?

Arco's a bit busy for feasting.

>judging by the absolutely retarde amount of thrones,
Yeah wasn't sure where to go with that. Less next time? I kind of like lots of thrones personally.

>>166496982

The Earth is definitely nice to have, but you're paying a lot for it. Personally, I'd suggest propheting your Commander. Mostly because you're gonna be expanding with sacreds and having Divine Blessing straight up is pretty handy. Also I have had my scout prophet Sneak along with my expansion party too many times. YMMV.

>>166495074
Looking more into the modding options I can't see a way to not start with a fort. You can destroy temples and labs with an event but can only build forts, it looks like. Which is a shame since I definitely saw it as having to start from nothing and build up to eventually being able to put down your fort and become a real nation, kinda like rts campaigns or a game of Civilization.

>>166497297

The 1W may seem weird, but I have something I want to do with it. I want to summon Danavas and equip them with two pairs of gladiator gloves, then have them cast quicken self.

Nope.

You want at least N9 as Lanka. Everything good you get is sacred and most of it can bless itself, it's just too efficient not to take.

>>166518225
Garbage.

>Awake
Why?
>A3
Why?
>No bless
Why? Lanka really loves a decent bless. N9 at least is practically mandatory, and W9 is super fucking good.
>Those scales
Why? Lanka hates order, so T3L3 is a no-brainer, and G3 is great for blood hunting. Their units are all garbage so Sloth is fine, and being able to research your summons is essentially so magic is good as well.
>Danavas
They arrive as units, you need to GoR them and that's pretty inefficient to do. How would they cast Quicken Self, anyway? They get .5A .5A .5B .5B when they become commanders, no W to speak of.

You're also choosing to focus on Danava, which you get at blood 8 using a spell that gives you three beefy and useful units, over Unlimited Dakini Works, which you get at blood 6 and gives you one of the most efficient summoned commanders in the entire game. Why?

Just... Why?

Okay, so who exactly is eligible for seats of the round for MA Man in summod/magic enhanced. Just curious, and would be faster than doing a really long test game.

hello darkness my old friend

>>166520537
Open up the DMs and look.

>>166520279
ah sorry.
equip them with 2 gladiator gauntlets and a water bracelet.

Blesses especially 9 blesses, are massive point sinks that you can only put into capital only units and summons. Its a slog dragging priests around and sacreds are usually overhyped, overpriced and limited to a handful of units per turn. I don't like using strong blesses, I think they are a waste.

I think Lanka's units are actually pretty decent, the markata are pretty useless, but atavi archers are like a slightly better version of bakemono-sho, and their arrow storms are brutal. Bandar are strong, have good stats and are pretty cheap, and their sacreds are good even without a strong bless.

>>166519838
>>166520279
Besides, my pretender already has a strong bless. +Str, +HP, +Undying is nothing to shake a stick at, basically 10 extra hp and enough damage to finish most units off in one hit.

>>166523304
N9 imo is extremely versatile, but only due to shroud of the battle saint.
W9 needs a good reason to take, but can often be extremely potent - same with B9. At their core these are troop blesses.
E4 is very cheap, and pairs super nicely with many awake expanders anyhow. E9 is something I only really like on Niefel, and only then because making the giants fatigue neutral changes how they have to be countered.

F9, D9, S9 have extremely limited use imo. A9 is just a meme.

>>166520279
also
>awake
with about 450 points of research early game I wouldn't have got otherwise
>Sloth Scales
What are you, new?
>Danava
Nothing wrong with Danava, but you don't just spam high level summons, especially with blood magic. You gotta make your gems count. If I could make 1 Danava every turn or so, I wouldn't mind some thunderspam.

>>166523890
You got a point though, Lanka do have good sacreds.

>>166523304
>their arrow storms are brutal*

>>166523467
>Turmoil 1 so 2 less blood slaves per hunt, 2 less chaos power
>Using misfortune with turmoil
>no growth on a blood nation

Literally seen better stuff from the AI.

>>166523890
I always though blood 9 should be berserk, not reflec weirdness. earth 9 is underrated

>>166524302
Turmoil 1
yeah, and no -10% income and an extra 4% random shittery either.

Turmoil and misfortune
admit its a bad combo, but misfortune 1 isn't terribad and kind of fits the theme

Growth on a blood nation
Not really necessary if you're not looking to pull 100+ slaves a turn. People used blood for years without growth scales and did fine without it, just gotta roll with the entropy.

>>166524302
growth on blood nations is so anti-thematic. It makes sense if you're running some sort of fertility cult, but if you're playing Carthridge or Volcano Gods it ruins the immersion.

I think its more fun to take death scales. (Though maybe not the best decision competitively)

>>166524710
plus Turmoil one keeps my unrest under control with some strong PD. That helps more with blood hunting in the long run. Having to take 40-50 PD to reduce unrest makes repeat harvests more risky.

>>166524847
Carthage practiced human sacrifice for fertility rituals, as did the Aztecs.

>>166524985
I thought it was just cause Caligula was murderous fuck who liked stuffing young girls in golden calves to be roasted alive.

Or was that Rome?

>>166524042
If you're making it awake specifically to research, you should take drain scales so you can pump up growth or something.

>>166525089
Its not. Its going to buckle down and give me 500 points of research while everybody else is snoozing or trying to take one province at a time with their combat chassis

>>166525238
Caligula is Rome, yes. Carthage sacrificed people to Baal Hammon (a storm/sky God with fertility powers in that aspect) and Astarte (a Phoenican rendition of Ishtar, a fertility goddess from Mesopotamia). The Aztec good of corn was worshiped via a ritual flaying.

>>166525238

>>166525363
Not worth it. At all.

Literally spotting one of these derps is typically reason to attack - after all it reveals an easy target of AI level skill.

Well, your opinions are duly noted, but let the record state that I strongly disagree.

I'm beginning to suspect that dominions players tend to give other players deliberately bad advice.

>>166525873
Also great for late game summons and defending against water provinces. Its a late game build.

>>166525925
Oh, keep ignoring the sacred part of the sacred summons in exchange for that sweet 400 RP.

>>166526043
>Its a late game build

Its a dead by turn 30 build. Or a single player build, questionable if its crazier than the W9 earth snek.

>>166526043
It's not a late game build.

>>166526319
gimme a break. Its got tart access, tarrasque access, can cast motheroak and tree lords.

You're probably the kind of player who thinks its worth 10 turns of recruitment for an 80 sacred doom stack just so you can get a double 9 bless.

>>166526694
What the fuck are you even trying to say?

What's the best gear for an empowered Wind Lord thug?

>>166526694
i mean where are you supposed to get your priests for your little mini-stack of sacreds? thats another 3 or 4 turns of recruitment or waiting to put your prophet on a H2 commander.

the 7 or 8 turns your waste trying to get your sacreds together could have been another 4 or 5 provinces in the bag.

>>166526852
Well, the Aegis for sure. Maybe the Summit for a weapon. Not sure what all else you want, though.

>>166526694
>all those spells you'll never reach

Personally, I'm the kind of player that kills people late year 1 early year 2 in almost every game I play.

That build you have has literally nothing to protect itself. It'd be an ideal target for a year 1 war.

stupid question: how do you raise a unit's "level" in magic? i.e. death magic 3->4

>>166527675
Guy who killed or almost killed two nations in year 2

>>166527697
You can give them the "empower" order, but it costs a lot of gems. It's better to forge a magic item which boosts it. Also, if it's just in combat, they can use a gem to boost it one level, or you can set up a communion if the unit has astral and you have other astral casters.

>>166527697
If he's in a province with a lab, you can use the option "Empower" to gain a level permanently in any school of magic. It costs a lot of gems.
The better option is usually to forge a booster item for 5-10 gems - skull staff, water ring, thistle mace, etc.

>>166527145
He's not.

You're making it sound as if it was something impressive. One was a microstate who got tricked into attacking me, the other went AI the turn I met him.

This is the main reason a bless rush manages to kill anyone in the first year. Even a mediocre player can hold out for a long time against an all-in bless rush with any luck at all.

>10 turns of recruitment for an 80 sacred doom stack
Lanka gets sacreds from summons. Recruitment just lets you stay alive until then - blessed palanshka can defend against most things in T3. With summons, an "80 sacred" stack is a turn of blood hunting turned into asrapas.

damn I sure wouldn't have guessed that if you hadn't pointed it out thanks dude.

>>166547708

They're pretty boss when led by a Sleeper with Will Of The Fates up, at least. Because they're so low HP, Luck is basically an improved version of Dom3 Luck.

>>166547708
I don't think you'd even need to specifically send a counter. Markata still only do 7 damage with strength buffs.

>>166548048
They're nice chaff for soaking melee attacks. Not very good at doing anything else, though.

>>166548150

Flaming Arrows goes a way to helping, given they get two ranged attacks a turn.

>>166548218
Aren't they a bit vulnerable to shitting all over themselves with flaming crap?

That's what I heard about the strategy when it was last discussed.

>>166548048
Will of the Fates would be better used on something with survivability outside of WoF. Something that only needs luck triggered on the second hit, rather than the first means that they get more mileage out of WoF.
>>166548218
>>166548150
This is the only reason to ever use Markatas. You do cast Army of Gold/Lead, yes, but not on 200 Markatas only. You bring them along with other troops, to soak melee and to pepper his frontline with flaming poop before your actually good troops do the real work

>>166548275

A bit, yeah. But it's short enough ranged that the precision isn't THAT unreliable even at Prec8, and worst case you can put Wind Guide up or something.

>>166548312

I'm not sure you understand how luck works. It sticks around. If every attack on something is a fatal attack, then 75% of those attacks do nothing. For the entire battle. On something which can take damage without it being reliably fatal then it can be reduced in HP and force morale checks and gain afflictions. Low HP troops gain a massively greater benefit from WotF than troops with big HP pools.

But yeah. Two hundred Markatas aren't a strategy on their own. They're a front line for holding stuff while your giant sacred communions fuck shit up, and they can also do reasonably well for themselves with Flaming Arrows and strength buffs up.

>>166548608
Do remember to consider regen, though.

While I think you're still right about markata getting the greatest benefit from WotF, regenerating troops which have a lethal hit negated by Luck could end up regenerating enough to take multiple extra hits without needing Luck again.

Markata don't get benefit from that interaction when stacking regen and luck because of their low hp.

>>166549220

Fair point. And with regen up the getting-afflicted-to-shit thing is less of a risk.

Oh hey, I just realised I have a way to fluff sacrifices
I send shit to the AIs

You can alternatively just call him Leaflord or something. The important thing is that he claims to be a god and he crushed two armies with his legendary equipment.

That was a turn 1 declaration justifying me annexing independents. I legit don't understand how anyone could think that was me declaring immediate war on every player in the game.

>>166578942
You may not have
but what stops him from using it to declare war on you?

>>166578674
we're still fucking his greek ass

Y'see, what we saw was some stuck up foreigner coming into our tula and talking about some bullshit assembly of people we don't care about, and then telling us that they were going to have an empire and that they were going to fight to get it. How else were we meant to interpret it?

Yeah, but your meaning was not expressed clearly in your message

>>166579078
Nothing but we were talking OOC and this convo came up before. He genuinely read it that way. Hinnom too evidently.

>>166579178
My fault for over estimating the other players' reading comprehension and grasp of context.

>>166579078
also this desu

also also, Orlanthi fucking hate emperors, we've had really terrible experiences with them in the past dontcha know

Tough talk for someone that's lost over half of his army's mage corps to PD and bad scripting :^)

DOUBLE UP YOUR TURNS YOU FUCKS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey man, if you declare yourself the hottest shit in the world how do you think a bunch of egotistical gods are going to react?

>>166579521
I'd agree with you if I'd declared myself the hottest shit in the world and everyone was RPing egotistical Gods. Or even if they were just using a bullshit cassus belli IC. It's the OOC justification that annoys me.

>lost 2 druids and a few stargazers
>still have all the important parts of my mage corps on that army, and better parts on their way
>still have around 50 druids and stargazers researching in various forts
tough talk for someone who's down to 4 provinces and no forts and has to rely on ogres and indie archers for an army

>>166579731
We've only fought won real battle. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. I'll almost certainly die since I'm fighting 3 people at once, but don't think it's gonna be free.

>>166579178
Eehh, I didn't feel particularly threatened by it.

It's not unlike gauls to have a grudge with meds after all

>>166579521
heh. snek does not care for other gods as long as they don't get between her and the thrones.

>>166579640
you essentially challenged everyone into proving they are hotter shit. people responded. that is all.

you could have in fact played it defensively, and rped other nations into attacking your enemies as they suicided against your PD. It was early game after all.

>>166579842
>won

I'm really super busy, but you can be sure that I'll reply to everyone next time. And yeah, birds are getting cocky, so we'll have to deal with that in a while. Also, send N gems for my all other types of gems if you want.

And, uhh... rhymes and stuff! Gotta go, turn submitted.

>>166580084
