That makes me so, so happy. I was really worried the series would have an unsatisfying conclusion. This gives me a lot of hope. Thanks, anon

>>182281486
satisfying might not be the word for it. I liked it, but it made one of my friends REALLY mad.

why?

>>182283084
one of the best thrones in the game unless you're cancer Mictlan

Note that -100 income is tied to the province, so it'll never take away more than that province is worth

Not really sure I fully understand how resistances and damage work. For instance, if a unit had 15SR and was size 6, would they effectively take 0 damage from an air elemental?

>>182283998
yes

>>182282553

Oh dear, now I'm concerned. Without spoiling too much, is it possible to say what made him mad?

I mean, I know a lot of people hoped Kellhus would 'lose' but I like the guy, so I was hoping he would 'win.' So if it's something like that, I can understand.

About what?

>three threads later still waiting for turns

>>182284163
Really not possible to go too much into it without major spoilers, I think. But I mean, the series is called The Second Apocalypse.

>>182284158
One more question. Is PD hp separate from army hp for routing purposes?

>>182284621

I get ya. And if you're implying what I think you are, then that was something I assumed would happen. Well, I won't ask any more questions. I ordered the book so I'll read it when I get it in a few days. Thanks again, anon

Vanarus do your fucking turn.

>>182284750
yes

>>182284158
wait, an air elementals damage for lightning swarm is 6 and str is 15. Isnt that 21 damage base? Why would 15 SR negate it entirely?

>>182285735
str isn't added to lightning swarm

>>182285790
Why not? Is it just 'weapons' that have str added?

Hello everyone! I already asked last thread, but since it was the end of the thread and many people couldn't have seen it or answered to it, I'm doing it again!

A few days ago, I released my first mod, an EA custom nation called Thalamanth, that's about sacred amazons and strong air magic. I already had the opportunity to balance it a bit, but I'd love to have more feedback to balance it even better, especially since only a few people told me what they thought, and furthermore since I'm getting contradictory feedback (some people saying the nation is too strong, others it's too weak). Mainly, I'd like some feedback from people who actually tried the nation against AIs, rather than just checking it on the inspector. Plus, you might actually have fun on the way!

While doing so, you'll notice several things that must all be taken into account when discussing balance: first, everything is very expensive; second, some mages get a lot more powerful when using some national items that are restricted to them (no other unit can wear them); third, there are many national spells. What I mean here, is that while the nation has some great strengths and some great weaknesses, they are supposed to balance each other out; my goal is to make the nation neither among the top 5 of the base game, nor among the worst 10. It should be somewhere in the middle (although it's not a problem if it's in the top of this middle). I think it's very hard to have a realistic idea of the powerlevel of the nation without actually trying it in game.

Here's the link to the thread and download: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=3411
I'll lurk a bit on domg, but don't hesitate answering the thread or mailing me either! Thanks already for your help!

https://github.com/larzm42/dominions-tools

Does anyone know how to use this to modify the names of research paths? Or, better yet, does anyone know how to use this at all?

I know python, but there is basically no documentation whatsoever.

reposting from last thread; pls help

>>182286000
It's just that lightning swarm specifically doesn't add strength to its damage. There's a few things that don't, cross/bows most obviously, although there's a couple craftable whips and Snake Bladder Stick that don't as well, from memory. You just have to check sometimes.

>>182286265
Do you mean changing the actual names of the schools in game?

If so I don't think that's possible.

>>182274710
I recruited them because they did more base damage (fighting in cold 3), had longer reach, and did blunt. I wasn't sure if the two attacks of the dual wielding steel maidens with slash/pierce was worth it against skeletons with pierce resist also wasn't sure if each of the two attacks triggered separate repel checks.

>>182287908
each subsequent attack does have its own repel check, but the effective length of the weapon goes down by one each time, meaning that with lots of attacks, later attacks don't get repelled.

>>182287908
>>182288419
also the pierce resistance ain't no thang since longdead have tiny hp pools and SoG maidens will 1 shot them regardless

>>182286795
Is it possible to use these tools to modify the game at all? Or is it exclusively for extracting sprites and other information?

>>182286795
And yeah that is what I'm trying to do. I also want to change other things which can't be changed with mods.

>>182289002
Not really possible.

Ermor please take your turn instead of staling...

>>182288419
>>182288570
Both are very helpful thanks. I'll have to use them instead of the maulers next time.

>>182290878
desu trying to make your soldiers kill 9 gygjas propped up by skratti slaves worth of skelly spam is just the wrong approach. Skelly spam is actually really good against troop-buff tactics unless your troops in question are REALLY fast and REALLY killy, in which case the fight is decided by critical mass (which for steel maidens basically requires quickness, which you won't have early). Use elementals (buffed fire is best, but unbuffed fire, earth, air, and ice all work) or multiple round 1 equake casts. You can potentially get arrows to work if you have a bajillion squads, all placed forward and all set to 'fire' and hope to blind tag enough mages to break them, but it's in no way guaranteed.

>>182294591
Ironically enough, you may not believe it but I actually made that pic. I made a later one since people always complained about the clutter in those played/expected/got threads.

>>182294659
your scales are fine. Maneater can expand reliably, since its fear aura lets it auto-win against crossbows, which are all over the place and relatively hard to take with all-ranger expansion parties. It singlehandedly turns your expansion from one of the weakest of the era where you struggle to hit 16 in year 1 to contender-level while still giving you vampire count paths and enough money scales to hit a level 5 research target by turn 14

>>182295051
Can I trade the man-eater for the dog or the raven?

>>182295251
not while having the same late age expansion power no

>>182295251
not really. both are squishy (the raven will sometimes just lose in melee to the crossbows in the 1-2 rounds it takes to rout them), dog doesn't fly so it has a hard time v crossbows. You can potentially use the linnormr, but it's still somewhat less reliable than the maneater and brings a less useful crosspath

>>182292368

It'll still kill you though.

I don't remember offering anything other than noting that Bandar Log is pretty small sitting amid real players...I did do some of those turns very late at night but even so.

You sent me this message the same turn you invaded Bandar Log, while leaving the provinces bordering me uninvaded.

I assumed it meant the obvious.

>>182305965
Not anymore.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're shittalking too much. First you said you're going to save the population of your provinces, and now it's close to 0 almost everywhere besides the northern part of the island. Then you said you'll remove me, and decided to storm my capital with that pathetic army. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, son.

>>182306187
>Assuming that was a peace treaty
Wew lad

>>182301648
It's not perfect for sure, but it's still better than just looking in the inspector. If you're REALLY dedicated to your task, try it against human players, go ahead!

>>182306238
At the end of the day it doesnt matter because despite my self admitted lack of skills at the game you are still losing. I can replace my losses faster than you can so I can just throw meat into the grinder until you die. Thats assuming Asophodel doesn't kill you first.

It meant it's good to be friends with bats, which is certainly true. If I'd known you were also going for it we could have coordinated it differently through some pre-turn form of chat.

As I said, I have no hard feelings over our bump there. That speculative force didn't cost me much...I lost more gold to an event on turn 2. However I do want those provinces on that island that you cannot use.

>>182306689
You have some anger management issues to take care of. Killing one player and then losing is not a great plan by any means. That's considering you can kill me at all. So far you were pretty terrible at it.

Also salva I'm really disappointed that you didn't respond to my salva-eqsue message in kind. I had fun writing it and was looking forward to reading what you'd come up with.

>>182306957
They're forest provinces. I'm Vanarus. And you're Xibalba who already has six forests and two/three caves.

While Pelagia is probably going to try to steal them from me starting next turn - nicely telegraphed there, but at least it means he's stopped eating Nazca - I'm not going to intentionally feed you more land so you can grow even huger. I understand if you want to take the throne to stop me from outright winning immediately, but I'm not going to set you up to overrun the game in turn.

You're the largest nation in the game and you're bats. I have standards.

>>182306992
I'm shit at the game, I never play to win. Especially in dumb UW meme games. The only games I've ever won were because everyone else got fed up and left. And I'm still doing better than you right now which must rankle a bit. If this is all some attempt at diplo to brow beat me into leaving you alone its not going to work because I'll keep sending guys at you even if it kills me now. All your badgering has done is give me a clear objective for the game other than dick about with statues under water.

Why do people delete their old turns anyway? I have a folder with every turn from like the last six games I was in. If nothing else, it helps you ascertain the accuracy of scouting reports during expansion, and can help you map accurately if your scout cover is lacking.

Asphodel might've been steamdiploing, though, in which case it'd explain why it's lost.

Any comprehensive guides to Tart gates strategy and usage out there? Looking at the inspector I see that they're listed as a mage, when most other units with paths are set as commanders, and I believe I've read they start out as units and you need to gift of reason them or something to get them to be useful? The Manual doesn't seem to have useful into that isn't in the inspector.

>>182333663
Some of them need gift of reason, it is not chassi specific. All of them will start with many afflictions so gift of health is preferable.

>>182333663
It's not really a strat you can rely on outside of memegames (might start one so maybe you could try in that?)

Basically you need a nation with recruitable D4's and some kind of access to a Gift of Reason type spell (I know there's another but I always forget it).

Now you need a D5 to pull off the strat (the D5 needs to be equipped with a skull staff and a skull helm or whatever to bring it up to D7). To get D5's you mass cast Twiceborn on your D4's and suicide them inside you dom, some will get a boost to D5.

The you simply mass Tarts and Gift of Reason the ones with a chance for the best magic (Male titans and Monstra) while using the others as tanky chaff.

>>182333663
Also don't forget that even if you cure their afflictions they'll still have shattered soul which will cause them to do something random every fourth turn or so.

How well do elementals perform against Lemuria? Fire elementals seem obviously good but what about the rest of them? They have high MR so you'd expect Lemuria to be very ineffective at killing them, but on the other hand, trampling probably doesn't work too well either.

What would you guys recommend for a starting faction? I like playing evil factions because I'm an edgefag so if there are any evil factions that are easy to get into then yeah...

>>182337425
All factions are pretty evil so I'll just recommend factions for beginners.

EA Vanheim
MA Ulm
LA Midgard

>>182337425
A lot of nations can be played as evil. Tell us a bit about what often seems neat to you in games? Any examples you can give will help us narrow down some ideas.

>>182338224
Well I really like Lovecraftian themes and demons and the like, summoning demons to make deals or using sanity destroying otherthings to destroy other races, shit like that

>also still haven't bought the game
>tfw no money

>>182337425
EA and LA Mictlan is pretty much the go to evil guys nation, and both are solidly strong but not a good beginners nation

>>182336724

Worse than against Ermor but still ok due to high mr on elementals.

Trample is 1/4 as effective since it is not magic so air/earth/ice elementals are meh. Water elementals are also meh due to non magical attacks. But ghosts will have issues bringing them down anyway.

Fire elementals obviously are the best by far and burn ghosts in droves.

>>182338472
Blood magic is all about summoning demons and other Unpleasant Stuff. The intersection of Blood and Astral specifically is focused around the summoning of Horrors, extradimensional nasties that are basically what it says on the tin.

There are multiple nations that are good at getting these. They are MA and LA Abysia, LA Ulm and LA Bogarus. As you can tell, Late Age is the age where a lot of Blood and Astral magic is used.

Of those, I'd say you should probably stay away from Bogarus at first. LA Ulm isn't too difficult, as long as you read up a bit on how to leverage your amazing research advantage, and try to start up your blood economy early.

>>182338472
LA R'lyeh, MA R'lyeh, Berytos, Mictlan, a lot of LA nations

>>182338472
R'lyeh has Lovecraftian part covered, but they are definitely not beginner-friendly (actually they are not anyone-friendly).

EA Lanka, EA Hinnom, LA Marignon and MA/LA Abysia and EA/LA Mictlan are the most "deal with demons" kind of nations, but they are not all that beginner-friendly too, t b h.

>>182337425

EA Marverni
Zerg rush nation. Except instead of aliens, you spawn endless swarms of boars, cheap trash units, and cheap mage communions.
High winrate and great nation to use for learning communions.
A communion is when a group of mages channel their magic towards other mages to make them more effective at spellcasting.

MA Ulm
Slow but tough human nation. Excels at crafting items, sieges, and evocation.
This is as close as you're going to get to a fantasy dwarf nation.

LA Agartha
Just like MA Ulm, except they have necromancy and powerful thugs.
Thugs are big units that fuck shit up.

LA Agartha has powerful thugs?

>>182341605

>he hasn't seen the horror that is Sy's tomb oracles

>>182343086

Weapon shield alone is at least 15 gems.

At conj7 you also get wraith lords.

How is tomb oracle a great value thug compared to wraith lords or even to sidhe lords?

>>182343195

Oh no, I have to send a N2 mage with two N gems to cast ravenous swarm and then it dies in 4 turns. THE HORROR!

Bane Venom Charm in a D3 province, is that going to be a bad time?

>>182343208
Its not great value, I was being sarcastic, sorry friend.

>>182343420

Sorry too, I thought it was the original guy defending his retarded point.

>>182343195
those worked because it was a high resource difficult research game

Are we about to have our first stale? Despite an extension even

>>182344447

How the fuck would it work, enemies didn't have counter thugs? No research?

>>182347871
difficult research, so they were already struggling to reach research goals, and were also struggling to react to other people's research goals

What are some general early game counters to B9W9 jaguar warriors? Archers? Go for antimagic?

>>182348282
Earth meld and archers.

>>182348282
earth meld

>>182348282

Decent sacreds will shred them easily. Like white centaurs or vanhere.

Alternatively mass troops, jaguars aren't very survivable.

>>182343417
I mean, it's not like D3 provinces had the best income in the first place.

>>182341605
MA Agartha does in the form of Marble Oracles, which when built properly are among the tankiest tanks in the game.
LA Agartha has great mages and troop summons, but not much in the way of thug chassis.

Pan, sent you a message ingame. I just want that cave to your north and my expansion to the west is done. Hope that is agreeable and that we can be friendly neighbors.

>>182348282
Cheap shitty chaff, fatigue killers

Everyone will say archers, this isn't true unless you have more archers than they have jags AND you have antimagic, otherwise your archers will all die from blood vengence and hp rout.

I've played this god damn game for 6 hours and I still haven't the slightest clue what I'm doing. As early-era not!celt boar-druid boys I've yet to see a single boar. That said, I've snagged a throne. The not!Assyrian(?) giants to my south are giving me trouble. I've begun to plant temples and churn out priests but that's not been very effective apart from giving me a lot of useless priests.

>>182361187
The giants are Canaanite.

>>182362079
On the wiki it says I should consistnetly have 15 provinces by the beginning of year 2. How? How do people manage that?

>>182361187
The boar summon is in conjuration 5 I think. It summons a boar that summons other boars automatically.

>>182362548
Build new expansion parties from your cap. In Marverni's case it can be a bit tricky. You need a bit of production scale to pump out enough bare chested warriors to overwhelm indies. Take an awake monster pretender to make things easier. Thrice-horned boar or Earth Snake are a good choice.

>>182362930
And have the thrice horned boar as my general?

>>182361187
Singleplayer is shit and you should be using lots and lots of magic.
Boars are summons.

>>182363014
No, he can fight alone.

>>182363014
The point of awake pretender is usually to take provinces on its own.

>>182363060
>>182363183
>>182363276
Ok, so i'm designing my pretender, and he's that boar, with 4 points into nature, 2 into growth and productivity, and one into magic. Where else should I invest?

>>182363428
You want some points into Earth Magic; that will give him more protection

>_<

>>182363428
No, take the boar, take growth 3, cold 1, prod 3, E6N4 and dom 6

You've got money, enough resources to shit bare chests out, a boar that will actually survive the first few provinces before he gets experience and will eventually be able to cast big N spells that you don't get natively, as well as Earth Blood Deep Well while having enough dominion to not get domkilled.

Another idea would be prod 3, cold 3, growth 3, misf 1, drain 1, N1B9 awake Black Bull

Big expansion, you still get gold, but your research will be slightly worse and you might lose some gems, but not that many probably if you're lucky but the key thing here is that your boars will be a real pain in the arse to deal with

>>182364535
>E6N4
what is this?

>>182381113
but the nation combo theorycrafting is like 90% of the fun of disciples

>>182381275
Imagine the theorycrafting you could do with random match ups.

What if we did a 2 team disciple game? Call it Disciple Dodgeball. Two team captains that take turns picking both a nation and a player, and then taking whatever nations are left for themselves at the end.

Captains would be responsible for making sure that the players that they picked actually play too.

Yep. Run by the guy who played 25 games simultaneously and won so much with Therodos that they got nerfed into oblivion even though literally one other person had won with it aside from a case of terrible sportsmanship.

Dominions is too idiosyncratic to play in D&D anyway. Run it in GURPS so you can die from stray arrows if you're not wearing helmets, and you can play as a nature mage that accidentally transformed into a frog.

>>182432294
>Dominions is too idiosyncratic to play in D&D anyway
How?
>>182432294
>Run it in GURPS
NEVER run ANYTHING in GURPS.

desu it really depends on what kinda game you're playing. Like you could run it in WHFB, or Song of Swords, or literally just modify the Dominions mechanics.

>>182432435
>How?
It's got the fantasy kitchen sink, and thus needs a system either tailored to accommodate specifically that or to accommodate anything, but at the same time is amusingly lethal, with anything human-sized being perfectly capable of dying to slingers if they lose their helmets.

>NEVER run ANYTHING in GURPS.
You don't gotta like it, but I've had fun with it. It's obtuse, but we're playing Dominions, aren't we? Anyway, not the place for that discussion I guess.

Your units are really good so you should make them.

>>182441084

W9 bless, sloth scales, either order or turmoil, magic, luck if turmoil.

Expand like craz with 5-6 white centaur expansion parties.

Rush alt5, cast mother oak (may need cons4 for a thistle mace).

After that rush enchantment and alternation up with some conjuration and evocation (EQ). Kill everything with mass buffed reveler armies with centaur elites.

>>182441206
>order or turmoil
no neutral?
>sloth scales
what about >>182441174 ? Can I recruit enough satyrs with sloth?

When do I dip in blood?

>>182441464
Order helps to reduce the unrest your units cause but generally your main focus in Magic and Bless. Revellers cost 3 resources, sloth wont hurt that.

>>182441464

Resources are a non issue. Sloth3 is free 120 points. Some temp scales could also be a thing, maybe cold1.

You generally want gold so growth/order is good. If you go turmoil your pans spawn freespawn so those, in big enough numbers, can be your free chaff in turmoil - then you mainly recruit mages.

You get blood right away and make blood stones and thorn armor. You dont really get into big blood summons until later in the game.
