Machaka edition

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.

The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.

It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.

Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

is it because no weeb image?
>>
>>167762916

I think it's because no topic has arisen as yet.

Let's talk about AP crossbows. Threat, or menace?
>>
>>167763123
I don't know.

But I don't know a lot of things. What makes a unit good, and in what situations, and why?
>>
>>167763123
the 7 res ones are disgusting
>>
>>167763356

On that front there are a couple different roles, with different requirements.

Chaff, for example, is good primarily for reasons of being cheap and plentiful. Blockers for being able to be hit many times and not die.

Those are fairly similar, but Dudes For Actually Killing Shit are another ballgame. For those you want high attacks-per-square with good Attack and Strength, although of course not dying is also useful for those.

>>167764696 is good but Lanka's blood mages are so strong you can also just ignore the early-game expansion in favour of setting up your blood economy, which will be crucial for summoning your sacreds.

Fastest way to lose. Personally, I'm a fan of N9E4 awake Bull Lanka. Gives fantastic expansion, a break into E magic, and a solid bless.

The fuck? Since when? The F9 definitely doesn't.
>>
>>167773269
he cant even take fomorias cap
pft
>>
>>167773724
It does, actually. I've tested it, and it's pretty easy to see.

Interestingly, D9 and F9 effects stack, but they overwrite the brand's on-attack effect.
>>
>>167774332
Man, that's nothing. You should have seen him lose 3 armies trying to kill AI Midgard's tree in edible gloves before giving up.

Then again, Sum1won also failed to kill tree in antiquis, so apparently they're just tough to take down.
>>
>>167774332
I was roused. I didn't see any commanders with projection, and figured if he had any Nemedian sorceresses he'd have put some birds in the capital, which I would have seen.

Apparently he deathbasketed Ur instead. Which, iirc, brings Ur's deathbasket count to an impressive 4 so far.

>tfw winning the game so I won't get to see my tree demolish an invading army

I've seen N9 Poison Touches do some serious damage before.
>>
>>167776061

They can benefit from Personal Regen as well. Trees are ridiculous.
>>
best way I've found to kill a tree is three fights -
first send in a battlefield clear to wipe chaff and vulnerable mages
then send in some resilient fightersto kill their tougher surviving mages, and thugs, and elite troops
finally, now that the tree is mostly isolated, send in thugs with gatecleavers or otherwise high damage AN/AP weapons to kill the tree
>>
>>167779987
At a certain point, wouldn't dom kill be easier?
>>
>>167780854
I t d e p e n d s

It was much faster in this case to do it that way, since I had the resources to actually take it and dom kill would have taken a very, very long time.
>>
>>167780854

It's an immobile. They get high dom dirt cheap.
>>
>>167779987
>send in thugs with gatecleavers or otherwise high damage AN/AP weapons to kill the tree
If you can cast it, living clouds is a really good alternative
>>
Anyone know any of china's especially large provinces? I'm going to volcano the shit out of them since I probably cant beat him in a straight fight.
>>
>>167781689

It's a nice thought, but it's an N caster. It gets Elemental Fortitude, which means you're not gonna break Personal Regen with eight 1 damage AN hits.
>>
>>167780854
Probably, that's how I killed the ones I faced.
Although if it's a treelord wouldn't setting it on fire do the trick?

Post-combat burn on fire weak units kills both Niefel Giants and Forest Dragons.

>>167780854
domkilling a decent dom pretender with a forted temple, prophet and a couple of priests can be quite hard. building 6 temples and waiting 5-6 turns with an army on top of it hoping no one will come in and smash them sometimes it's a bit dangerous.
>>
>>167781928

Eh don't even bother friend, I don't think I recruited more than 50 units this game not counting sacreds.

I got better chaff from earth and I have never once seen a successful invasion on EA china.
Granted I haven't been playing that long but every invasion I have seen so far has backfired hilariously.

>>167786442
Personally, I always go for the charm. I also will spend 60+ gems overgeared my assassins in actual games, though, so I'm pretty biased

I will not die until I achieve something.
Even though the ideal is high, I never give in.
Therefore, I never die with regrets.

>>167787875
Bro, you're literally dead. The only thing left you could even do to effect the game is post the graphs.
>>
>>167787875
yeah nigga you're literally dead. As in, I got a message in the last turn saying that you have been permanently defeated
>>
>>167788054
>>167788597
Oh. Well I hope we play again someday. It was brief, but fun.

>>167788843
no worries. I might be following you soon, sandwiched between 3 rush nations as an mid-lategame

easy, the turn's resolved. Try resending your turn
>>
>>167789475
This was the first time since Dom3 I was beaten so fast. Asphodel was pretty good.
>>
>>167789020

You need to submit a turn for the turn on which you are defeated before llama can take you off the "this player needs to do turns" list. I assume there is a reason for that.
