/domg/ - Dominions General

Thank you for increasing turn time FaerieFen and
and TurtleIsland Admin.

>>179909261
This was not meant to sound sarcastic, although it's a bit ironic considering the thread name.

BreakingTheWheel admin, decrease hosting time for the first turn by 24 hours. If any of two remaining fags stale on the first turn, restart without them. Better have less players than Lukasing the game from the start.

Then maybe you can host next time, I don't like to host I only did it because there was no thread and no one made a new one.

>>179909524
Fuck you guys, game started at 10pm, go ahead and unstart, remove Arco, I don't want to play with fags who are too impatient for me to get home and actually put effort into RP, can RP in my other games.

>>179911031
Are you this sensitive? How can you even deal with normal games?

>>179911203
I handle normal games fine, have 3 pbem wins in fact. I was looking forward to doing some RP this evening, sending my turn in and getting to do a double. Wake up 7 hours after I get the first turn, and I already have resends. Who the fuck wants to play LA w/o ME anyway?

>>179911031
>probably just one guy making a lot of noise
>throw a hissy fit because of them

Dude, c'mon.

>>179909524
This is a dumb policy to suggest if it's not announced before the game starts.

>>179912527
Agreed.

Anything which lowers the time until the next turn is due should only be done with 24 hours of warning so everyone gets a chance to see it.

>>179909524
Put that flesh eater down, son, you're raging a little hard there.

How do you deal with EN giants early game? I'm fomoria, trying out tangle vines to start out, working on getting spamulets.

It's Hinnom, if it matters.

>>179918208
dont you have your own EN giants to fight them with?

What's the appeal of this game
It's literally just card board cut-outs deducting numbers from other cut-outs

Lol I think Yomi just snapped

>>179920209
it's like a tabletop boardgame/wargame with crazy gods and magic and shit that just happens to run on a computer so that a lot of things can be simulated/computed instead of laboriously dice rolled and managed by a person.

You should also send one army to fight elves. If we all do we win thru attrition alone.

I just realized that for all the fantasy races it has dominions doesn't have orcs.

>>179938168
Well, Dominions uses mythological/legendary races rather than fantasy ones, so...

>>179938168
Well, dominions doesn't really have fantasy races (with some exceptions, like Starspawn) but instead is based on various real-world mythologies. Say, the elves aren't "Tolkien elves" but Tuatha de Danann/Vanir (Tolkien himself of course was inspired by these sources as well but a lot of subsequent fantasy media is based on his interpretation or Dungeons or Dragons based on Tolkien's interpretation).

>>179938406

>>179938482
I'm fairly sure I once read that orcs are based on some Scandinavian monster.

Some of you might remember me, I pop in here from time to time to talk about a mod I'm working on that never seems to resolve itself into anything playable. It went from some custom spells to summon blood/astral mages to a nation mod unto itself somewhere along the line. When I get the compulsion to play Dominions I often plug at it a little bit.

Honest truth is that I'm trying to build it from the ground up to be fairly unique in the Middle Age among other nations, but that can make balancing it hard especially since it's a blood access and I want to do shit like communion slave summons.

I think I've got most of their backstory ironed out. The general idea is that they were experiments/pets kept by an autistic Melqart in a sort of pocket dimension jungle garden and they lived without want or war for most of their existence. The other Melqarts came and burned the place down, scattering them to the deserts and enslaving them.

During their subjugation they tapped into Astral magic and started communicating with eachother over long distances without their masters' knowledge. They coordinated an escape that left a trail of dead giants and then escaped across the sea to a new home (potentially around Mictlan and Xibalba)

Because I gave their better mages innate ritual mastery I thought I should probably limit their military to human/muuch slaves and bronze-clad soldiers. This puts them in a position where they're kinda like fusion of Arcesophale and Mictlan in the Middle Ages.

Am I working in the right direction?

Senpai, you've been doing this nation for what? Three years already? Just do something!

>>179985458
I got a lot of pushback when I was still working out the bread and butter mage stuff a long while back. People got pissy about the mind control aspects of the mages and the communion slaves since apparently it was too rapey. When I considered the idea of sterilizing the descriptions I just lost all interest since the nation is intentionally supposed to be uncaring mortal vampire wizards that drink souls and summon horrors in groups of their own troops just to study the creature while it goes about its carnage. Pretty sure breaking somebody's mind and turning them into an arcane conduit is worse than rape anyway but whatever.

I have some other ideas I'm playing with but I think I'll keep them a secret for now. That might help me keep my motivation better.

>>179985337
I remember your blood/astral mages, I don't have the mod though.
Ritual-mastery only allows the casting of more spells, it doesn't count for scaling or anything. It sounds like you have a solid start, you literally just need to make 4-8 soldiers and you'll have a nation.

>>179986201

Vanilla Dominions has mindcontrol and blood-sacrifice and ahegaos to rival the worst of Asanagi's work. There are crossbreeds and hedonistic murder-orgies and seduction aplenty.

>>179985337
>It went from some custom spells to summon blood/astral mages
Those were going to be a generic summons, right? Are you still planning on doing something similar or has it been completely shelved?

I really liked the idea, since blood is way too hard to break into, compared to every other magic path. Some inexpensive B1 summons that aren't locked to a specific nation would help with that.

>>179987759
Yes, Evo 5 and specific paths sure is the best way to counter a turn 10 niefel rush,

>>179989103
Basic earth spells can work as well. Armor of achilles makes them naked, and even earth meld can disrupt for a bit.

>>179989325
Gifts from Heaven is actually a shitty counter to giants, since it never hits. Stellar Cascades + Destruction is better at that research level.

>>179989087
I liked the concept too, until I started to think further into it.

Blood access is really weird when you start looking at it from a balance perspective. It takes 50 blood slaves to empower and those are hard as fuck to get without any existing blood mages. But then shit like Horde from Hell only costs 44 Blood Slaves to cast.

So the biggest barrier to shitting demons everywhere is getting access to blood itself, rather than the acquisition of slaves. If you have generic summons that have 1 Blood or more, and they cost less than 50 blood slaves, you've automatically started putting cracks in the blood access barrier. After that all that's left is the fact that blood spells are all in their own research category.

My autism demanded that I flesh out the concept more and make it into something functional enough that it would fit within the game's existing balance as well as any new nation from illwinter. But then, I've been neglected the idea for years too.

tl;dr: Maybe I'll pop out the generic summons as a preview for the whole thing. I've got a lot of combat tests to do for the nation related stuff. Also I've got Tyranny to finish.

>>179989565
>since it never hits
It hits anything in an aoe, has 3 projectiles, and precision can be boosted pretty easily

>>179990001
Tyranny is shit though.

>>179990001
>If you have generic summons that have 1 Blood or more, and they cost less than 50 blood slaves, you've automatically started putting cracks in the blood access barrier.
I think you're underestimating the difficulty of getting into blood by quite a lot. The problem is, unlike every other path of magic, your available resources scale up with the number of mages you have.

If you look at the number of blood hunters serious blood nations use, it'd require a massive number of blood slaves to get anywhere near them. Let's say 8 hunters per province, 5 provinces for a midgame blood nation. At even 20 slaves per B1 mage, that'd cost you 800 slaves total.

That's a big investment even for the aforementioned serious blood powers, let alone a nation which starts off with their sole blood mage being their pretender.

In fact, we can look at an example to see how this might work in games. MA Mictlan has Tlahuelpuchi, a B2 summon for 25 slaves (which is also an amazing mage for fighting other players). Have you seen (or even heard of) them ever becoming a major blood power?

On the other hand, if your pretender has F4 you can sitesearch for as many gems as a fire-focused nation. That and a few flame spirits gets you the big ritual/combat fire spells, and basically as many fire summons and items as a fire nation could get.

>>179990194

It was ok but ended up way too easy after a good start. Also unfinished.

When playing a blood nation with national sacred recruits is it usually preferable to stop recruiting national sacreds to afford more blood hunters for summons?

>>179991120
Aye that's true, and other paths get fairly cheap summons with magic abilities too. Death gets 1 Death Revenants for 9 gems and just 2D. Liches and Wraithlords, while high up the research tree, both cost less than the 50 death gems it'd take to empower into death. That and death is easier to access than blood thanks to alchemy anyway.

I guess you're right, it is pretty unnecessarily hard to access blood isn't it?

>>179992290
i t d e p e n d s

There's actually no answer to this question. Even in the late game it can be worth getting recruitable sacreds or more mages/hunters depending on your bless, what you're fighting, and what nation you are. And 'what you're fighting' doesn't just mean nation, but specifically what they're using and how they're using it.

>>179991120
>Have you seen (or even heard of) them ever becoming a major blood power?
Actually yes. I lost a game on dom3mods where MA Mictlan had an insane number of dog girls and a full ozelotl air force starting from just his b9w9 god

>>179993429

You dont even need to look to other places, NoModOrBuddha ended with MA Mictlan victory with blood.

>>179995310
>NoModOrBuddha
I was playing in that game, and Mictlan really had very little blood.

He had some demon thugs, and I think that was it. Maybe a few tlahuelpuchi, but I didn't see his enemies losing fights with zero commanders in their army.

>>179997209
>>179996857
If you really want triple nines you will have to compensate somewhere
consider taking fortune and spending some slaves in fecundity if you really want growth
I know its not the best, but hey, you are the one that wants triple bless

What about W9N9B4?

>>179992375
The difference is that once you do access it its much easier to keep it going. You can get 50 blood slaves a lot quicker than you can get 50 death gems with just one blood searcher.

>>179997209
If you are considering turmoil 2 mf 3 i would rather have turmoil 0 mf 1

And you are definitely goin gto need more dominion than 4. That means you will be able to recruit three (3) sacreds per if you are getting a mage. No way that's going to work well.

Honestly I could run Turmoil 3 sloth 3 cold 2. With this build you can afford dominion 7 tribless and not-so-bad scales (neutral luck, neutral magic).

Growth is great, but I would honestly prefer neutral growth to turmoil 3 misfortune 3.
I guess you could go magic 2 or 3 to be able to get growth 2 or 3. But turmoil+misfortune is a no-no.

>>179998397
> three (3) sacreds per if you are getting a mage

I meant you can recruit as many sacred units as dominion power you have. This raises as you build temples, but you are going to start at 4.

This means you can recruit 4 holy units per turn per fort, so since your mages are all but nahuallis sacred you will be able to get 3 of your turboblessed sacreds.

Dominion 6-7 at least is needed. Not sure if you will have enough gold to get more than that, and you will have more forts later on so it will start being less relevant, but the first year you are going to need at least 5 or 6 sacreds per turn, that's for sure.

2-0. Well, that's how it is, we're out again. I'll take the blame for that. I had already decided after I made the team's export to use a less meme formation next time, if there's a next time, but this performance definitely cemented it.

>>180018627

Guys
Any chance we have a bugfix for summod77 before we continue?

>>180018789

Completely inaccurate.

Sauro removed Oceania from land and then they made peace.

Yomi got elfed by Vanheim and now is fighting.

Kailsa jumped Yomi but got beaten back and is losing land.

Yomi also randomly invaded some other nations like TC.

Fomoria attacked Lanka, Sauro attacked Fomoria, Sauro is sieging Fomoria cap.

Arco vultured Lanka a bit.

>>180019467
To clarify
I am xibalba and I was supposed to be able to recruit national commanders in caves
Due to oversight on the devs of the mod, it was added wrongly.

Open the .dm and scroll down to LA Xibalba
You will notice the cave recruits (chilan and batab) were added as #addreccom instead of #caverec

I think its a troll, that 'aint me above.

>>180036875
Hey, don't be a fakemin.

>>180038020
Wasn't aware of that bug, and I've played a few games with summod LA Xib. Should I ask Sum1 about it?

>>180038801
it's an easy fix, just open the .dm file, scroll to Xib and change the commands Xib listed above,

>>180038801
From the .dm
Nation description:
>Xibalba is nerfed by summod. Bats are more expensive. Foreign recruit commanders are slow to recruit. Beastbats are weaker.

Chilan:
>#selectmonster 2750 --chilan cave
>#slowrec
>#gcost 180
>#end
Batab:
>#selectmonster 2782 --batab cave or forest
>#slowrec
>#gcost 40
>#end

Recruitment roster:
>#addreccom 2750
This adds the commander to the fort roster

Cave recruits:
>#caverec 2739
>#caverec 2738
Those are the zotzob units, no commander is added.


This is my case.
I believe for some reason sum1won didnt put both batab and chilan as cave recruits. But it was intended, given the line in the description.

So, I ask for a bugfix before we continue.
If not, I am okay with being replaced by someone else.

>>180028472

>>180039750
Also, the salty talk of subbing wasn't me. Maybe I should put on a trip, if that one fag's gonna be extremely salty about turns taking the regular amount of time

This isn't FastTurnsAtSnerdynHigh nor NeetsOnly. RP games often have a 48-hour timer, so we're already going fast.

>>180040660
>>180041561
That is a good question.
I dont think llamaserver accepts mods after the game starts.

I know it is a nitpick, but I will not enjoy playing this game having all the caves but cant really use them.

What do you want to do? If anybody wants to step up and take my place I am okay with that.
Or restart without me.

I apologize, I should have noticed it before.

>>180042796
Is it that big of a difference, though? It's one caverec mage, which is shitty, but you are still Xibalba.

>>180043435
It is when i have 9 caves in my range
and none will be able to recruit the ones responsible for dispensing my sacred soup to the ones who are still blinded by false divinities

>>180042796
I was going to say I suspected you of talking bullshit, but then I double checked everything and it should be that you are able to recruit in caves, just slower than normal.

I think to change the mods we'd have to restart the game. Which, to be honest, I see as a bit of a major hassle given it's an rp game and we've already started. At the same time it is turn 2 still.

I'd leave it up to the admins discretion.

>>180043938
I agree, I wont ask for a restart because of this.
I am sending my turn, but I would be glad if anyone took over

Dumb questions but does curse of stones stack? And would false fetters work on elemantals?

>>180043679
I will say this though - what if you didn't have any caves in range? Those mages are pretty heavy hitting though (death and earth), I can understand you being shitty about it - and even one cave could make a difference.

>>180044180
Curse of stones doesn't stack on the same target, but it has a low chance of being applied per target. Additional casts give you another chance to affect people who resisted the first cast.

False Fetters should work on elementals. It's MR negates, though, and elementals have 18MR. I'd expect it to be resisted almost all of the time.

>>180044271
I would be even more sore, because I would get there (or die trying), if I got there just to realize I cant get my precious priests

What would I have done then? I dont know, probably look for a sub, maybe curse sum1 a little.

>>180043938
>>180044105
I agree it's a shitty thing to have happen, but I'd be adverse to restarting. Even only two turns in, it does kill some enthusiasm if people have to redo their RP'ing, and some people might get shafted by replacements of their caps.

So I know what's going on with the cave recruits -

The clearing of recruitables used to not clear terrain recruit commanders (as in, they were impossible to remove from the nation) so the workaround to make the foreign rec guys StR was to make the original unit StR and then add a new unit that was fort recruit and not StR.

Illwinter then changed it so that cave recruit dudes were actually removed when everything was cleared, so the other (better) method of leaving the default dude alone and making a new cave recruit StR version becomes possible, but summod just doesn't have it yet.

Also, it's possible to change the mod without restarting. Just need to write up a fix, e-mail it to Llama, and then get him to replace the summod.77 thingy on his server with the new mod.

Can't we just mail the fixed mod to llama?

>>180046030
yes

I'll take my turn if it looks like I'm going to stale, or if I need to go get some sleep before this is sorted, but until then, I'll leave it unsent until we decide what should be done.

I'm fine with letting you have the province The Depth, as it's a bit far from my lands, but I'm going for Deep Sea this turn, so please don't go for that one.

Any games recruiting right now?

>>180089480

No

>>180089480
Only if youre new

>>180094029
I can be new if you want me to.

Or I could play innovative EA Xibalba.

Got a response back from Llama. Sorry, Xib, you're out of luck on that front.

At least you still got Zotz.

>>180096803
May I ask what's the bug?

>>180097332
Covered earlier in the thread, LA Xib is missing some caverecs that Summod apparently meant to add. I do agree with Xib's conclusion, the stuff in the mod suggests they should be there.

>>180043938
>>180097598

I'll see if I can update this fix this evening.

Might be too late for this game, but I would like to fix this issue.


>>180045995
This is exactly what happened. The mod command illwinter provided was broken, so I used a workaround.

And then they broke that when they fixed the mod command.

>>180098692
Publish the LA Pythium changes.

>>180099341
One thing at a time.

I found the Air mages.

>>180100184
Sounds like a land-dweller problem

>>180100184
I found Ermor.

>>180100184

Air mages UW are better than Water mages in all regards other than spamming elementals.

A amazingly has better evos, can cast fog warriors while W has next to nothing that works UW.

>>180100793
I think he means those 3 indy air mages.

>>180097598
Oh damn, it does suck for Xibalba indeed.

>>180100184
>land nations
>>180100542
I found you all because I outsmarted the fixed starts setting.

doot

>>180073110

So >>180105004 gave me a meme game idea. Anyone interested in having a OneAge disciple game where each team is the same nation across the 3 eras: Like Team Atlantis vs. Team Ulm vs. Team Abysia vs. Team Burds vs. etc.

Or would it just suck because it would be horribly imbalanced?

>>180105975
This idea's been pitch before and I wanted to host it, but Llama doesn't support Oneage, so we'd need to make some workarounds.

>>180106295
I distinctly remember playing in a singleage game on llama.

Maybe it was Dom3 though.

>>180106295
If we did it on the Discord, we could presumably accomplish it with normal direct hosting. Not elegant, but it might work. And the idea is a pretty cool one.

What would be available to play? Something like this?

For-Sure available teams:
Caelum, Mictlan, Xibalba, C'tis, T'ien Ch'i, Abysia, Pangea, Agartha, R'lyeh, Atlantis, Arcoscephale, Ulm.

Probably available teams:
Vanheim -> Midgård
Niefelheim -> Utgård
Yomi -> Jomon
Hinnom -> Gath

Possibly available teams:
Ermor -> Pythium
Ermor -> Lemuria (via Sceleria)
Kailasa -> Patala
Lanka -> Patala
Marverni -> Marignon
Helheim -> Midgård

>>180073110
30 players, 15 vs 15 in archaea

Haven't played this game in shitloads of time but is there a god/nation that wins by just slowly converting everything?

>>180110629
If by converting you mean spreading your dominion, it's not really a thing.

However ermor/lemuria do something like that, since they kill the population in the provinces with candles of theirs. So you spread your dominion and slowly kill your enemies gold in the provinces of theirs with your dominion.

There is also this feel when you invade ermor and you feel like walking inside a huge dead wasteland where you wont get anything in return by capturing it.

It sounds like kind of what you asked for, but not exactly it.

>>180110629
EA Therodos, MA Asphodel, MA Ermor, LA Lemuria are four nations that do just that, there are however no gods with any similar ability except pop kill.

>>180110629
Ermor and Lemuria sort of. They slowly kill all the population in their dominion which means even when guys take them from you they dont make any money off them or can recruit from them.

>>180110985
The death gems are nice if you have no native death mages.

>>180110629
LA R'lyeh makes people go insane which is pretty annoying.

>>180111220
t. someone that forgot that's a summod thing

>>180111302
The cap gives tons of death gems in vanilla.

ABoneToPick Admin, it's turn 57 and its still 24 hour turns, no one but pure blooded NEETs can do anything but half assed turns by now. If you are still alive can you please change it to >= 48 hour turns.

>>180108076
R'lyeh's aboleths/mindlords have void sanity, so a R'lyeh team with LA as pretender wouldn't make everybody insane.

FINALLY IT GOT USEFUL


But I would rather having gold instead.

that feel when you're besieging 3 forts at once.

>>180111302
>implying 5 gems a turn isn't enough to break into death.

>>180112290
>the when you attack someone and he focuses everything on you so an AI player goes ahead and sieges 2 of his forts.

>>180111414
>implying you are going to get their cap
If you do, you attacked ermor with 2 or 3 other nations, and only one of you all will get ermor's cap, the others will get nothing (and still, that one will have to work a LOT for it).

>>180110629
Domkilling all opposition technically is a victory condition, but in order to spread your dominion more effectively than anyone else, you have to be very strong already and chances are games end before domkill occurs.

However, dominion spread can of course help you in getting to that point. Popkill nations were already mentioned but globals like Vengeful Water, Strands of Arcane Power and Gift of Health can make invasions extremely difficult to pull off by assaulting commanders/boosting defenders tremendously and spreading dominion increases the area where you are strong, and with strong dominion spread to where fights are taking place, vampires can become a force to be reckoned with.

>>180112508
>he focuses everything on you
and two other non-AI players

>>180115314
The other real players haven't really attacked him only defended against his attacks.

What are you even talking about? I haven't attacked a single human player over the entire game so far.
