>>178557814
Admins have the turn archive on the server, so it would be possible to make an AAR.

Is there any reason to try to take your enemy's capital? Even with a force that vastly overpowers what's defending, the citadel is completely insane and allows even a small force to destroy shit 10x stronger than them.

>>178558958
You have magic in this game, you know.

>>178559045
A dozen mages. In an open field battle, this would have been extremely one-sided. With the citadel, its the opposite.

>>178558958
walk in with a scout, then take your time and make a plan.

you can definitely accept to lose troops but not many mages or your sacred stack in storming a capital.

thugs and earthquake casters are a good idea.

Bump motherfuckers.

>>178558958
I think that, in general, storming forts when it is unnecessary is a mistake a lot of new playera make. Having an extra cap is nice but keeping the enemy holed up in there is more important than the extra income.

Their sacreds are size 3 flyers with FOUR attacks, one of which is a lance. Also 15 base defense. And glamor. Put W9B9 on these guys for a good time.

Their mages are an A2X1 (where X can be A or S for storm or com), an E priest (half of which are E2), an E2S2X1, and N2X1 (half of which are N3), and their cap mages are F2E2S2X1.

They have a 25 gem D2 golem with acid shield, perfect for soul vortexing. They also have double-shatterfister golems kinda like summod siege golems, but cheaper and earlier and with only +20 siege. They have a cons 2 spell to get a tanky front line (which doesn't have a cost at the moment? Probably just a bug, but they're free now according to mod inspector).

>>178564562
Oh, the D2 golem isn't op btw. I really like it. Vanilla golems can teleport where these guys can't, so they lose out on mobility in exchange for their soul vortexing AND they need to carry a D gem to do it. The summons in general are nice, and help provide a front line that isn't size 1 and squishy, since otherwise you'd have a really tragic aoe vulnerability.

>>178564562
>>178564653
OH AND THE BIRDS ARE RECRUIT ANYWHERE BY ZE VAY

>>178564562
>which doesn't have a cost at the moment?
Oh shit, I will fix that.

How should I nerf the flyers? Make them cap-only? Remove some attacks?

>>178564791
Either take out the sword or make the lance break. Right now the riders are stabbing with their lance and swinging their sword every round like true ballers, but that might be a bit much. Taking the short sword also nerfs their defense-tank, which is pretty strong right now.

>>178564849
>Either take out the sword or make the lance break.
Oh bot, I used the wrong light lance. I intended to use the one-use one.

How to nerf size 1 dualwielders? Are they that big of a problem?

>>178565858
they're way lower strength than clockwork horrors. They'll just murder low prot stuff, like elves and water elementals.

Also, all the summons have a gemcost. That "no cost" thing probably was a mod conflict or something.

>>178565858
Use aoe spells.

- Burrow Knights, Burrow Defenders, Falcon Riders, and Wing Leaders now have a one-use lance

Update to Bracada!

http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=3369

Changelog
v0.95
- New pretender: Naga Empress
- New pretender: Grandmaster Genie
- Pretender roster expanded with vanilla titans
- Titans have their random paths changed from AWS to FWS
- Construct Brass/Bronze/Gold Golems have their E and F paths swapped

>>178574219
Now where is muh necropolis.

>>178574327

Undead nation dependent on gold recruits and no domkill could be interesting.

>>178574572
Basically, make skellingtons recruitable, and have only liches raise dead.

>>178574626

Necropolis liches dont raise the dead tho, they shoot death fireballs at people.

Recruitable everything and then something to represent necromancy. Perhaps national spell that animates dead bodies in a province into skeleton warriors.

>>178575492
If you're doing it by game logic, shouldn't heroes automatically spawn skellingtons after battles?

>>178576241

I fear that would be impossible to do. But yea, would be best.

For troops we would get normal skeletons, skeleton warriors, ghosts, zombies, vampires (not immortal), liches (also not immortal, shooters with aoe ignore undead) and death knights (elite cavalry, perhaps national sacreds?)

Mages would be vampire lords (not immortal), power liches (not immortal) and death knights.

Summons would include skeletal/ghost dragons, mummies, wraiths and maybe other assorted undead.

I think the nation could have a neat mechanic with no upkeep for basic troops like skeletons. Depending how balanced that would be.

>>178576447
Is there an event that could check for the number of corpses in the province? Then it'd be really easy to do.

What are Machakans supposed to use for infantry?

Rhino Clan just seems really meh for the cost and everything else is so damn fragile, Lion Clan is spammable but is 14 damn gold.

>>178576630

Dunno.

For mages I think:
-power lich StR rec anywhere D3 base plus 100% FW random 100% FE random, maybe another 100% WE
-vampire lord rec anywhere D2 100% FW
-dread knight cap only StR D3 base 200% AFEW 100% AFEW
I don't think S fits the nation so instead its skeles plus bane fire plus DA spells out of cap.

Cap gems would be D3F1W1

>>178576715
oh, i guess this is fixed in summod

>>178576778
Aren't they more for earth magic and all?

Also, you can balance liches by giving them base (powerful) ranged attack with no AoE, and additional effect in like AoE 5 with damage capped at 1.

I named my scorpian man pretender Brawndo.

Do you think I should have gone with The Rock or OogaBoogawheredawhitewomenat?

>>178576778
Of 4 magic schools, Necropolis heroes are weakest in Fire magic, so might be a good idea to remove that one.

>>178577384
Might leave random F1 for banefire.

>>178576715
>What are Machakans supposed to use for infantry?
Skeletons and vine ogres, honestly. Their recruitables lose to pretty much anything. Getting another bouda (or saving for another palisade to recruit them in) instead of ~15 troops is the correct choice in 99% cases.

>>178574219
I might be wrong on the lore, but aren't Titans supposed to be essentially mindless super-constructs (which is why they were immune to mind effects)? Having one as a pretender seens questionable.

>>178577649
They are constructs in HoMM5. I'm basing the nations more on the classical lore.

>>178577649
They're cyborgs made by ancient aliens, just like angels. Angels are more human-like though.

>>178577645
sounds about right.

Machaka has a lot going for it, good paths, strong sacreds, recruitable lions and elephants, spider cav, but their infantry sucks balls.

>>178577649
>essentially mindless super-constructs
>Having one as a pretender seens questionable.
It's fine. See Colossal Fetish.

>>178578048
>strong sacreds
Slow down m8. The only thing worth noting about Machaka's sacreds is the stun effect on their attacks, but it's negated by size (doesn't do anything to units bigger than size3) and you only get 2 attacks per square (and their combat stats aren't very impressive either). Even MA Xib's obsidian warriors are straight up better than them.

>>178555138
First one was cancelled. Somebody else took it up. It's now on turn 60 or so. Domg just went for a throne rush but lost the battle for the last throne.

>>178578356
Yeah, but their armor isn't absolute garbage like most sacreds, so they don't die to a stiff breeze.

Hey Faggots,
My name is Forester Bob, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of your day recruiting stupid ass sacreds. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever constructed an item? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take it to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to your bless build.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was the best SC of an disciple team, and pretender on another. What games do you win, other than “jack off to naked drawn priests”? I also get all the gems, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

Why do I always make such dumb mistakes? I should stop rushing things.

Hey, Ulm, are you alive? You're about to stale for a second time in a row, even though we postponed hosting for Agartha.

With the debug mod that gets linked around here a lot, you start with every spell at level 0 so everything is castable. This is fine and dandy for testing out the first five rounds of something, but then your mages go off script and cast the most high powered evocations they can.

Is there a mod that lets you set what your research paths are and then you just sort of go from there? Or something that lets you spawn like 200 of a unit without having to set a bunch of mages to summoning it with wishes or something

>>178627467
You'd have to alter the mod itself to do this. There's something in the OP about what you're talking about but I forget if it ever was finished.

i wish the ai played well and also like a human. playing as multiple or all nations in an sp game is exhausting and not necessarily much like a true mp game though it's pretty fun, playing blitz people are all stressed about taking turns instead of being able to play at their respective paces, and playing normal mp games you can't play more than one or two turns in your game in a sitting
