>Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of Blacksteel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of Blacksteel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just Ulmites. Not gods. Not giants. Not elfs. Not bats. Not tentacle rape monsters. Just Ulmites. The secret of Blacksteel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

Carto Revision really likes putting sea provinces on maps. Most maps had 20+ (!) of them, even though no UW nations are in game.

Anyway, I think I managed to generate something usable. Almost everyone has 4-5 land provinces in their capring. Fomoria's cap borders just 3 land provinces, but they also have ~9 uncontestable sea provinces around them, so I guess it's okay.

Starting the game now.

As you may know, Ur and Agartha have been quarreling over who gets to take and keep AI Sauro's Capital.
Well, it seems their fight has been premature, because Sauro clearly has other plans.

After Ur was driven off by Agartha, Sauro used its EXTREME TACTICAL SUPERIORITY to defeat Agartha's forces.

The result is in the picrelated.

Sauro used a hydra to bait the Pale Ones, which then proceeded to chase the fleeing androphags.
In the meantime, Sauro's longdeads advanced against defenseless Great Olms and initiated a shameless slaughter of the poor worms.

Banes are not inanimate so they can be affected by leaching darkness of shadow brand? Or undeads are inanimate but not all are lifeless?

Official list of nations bordering Xibalba on IchtyidsOP map:
Machaka
Sauromatia
Yomi
Fomoria
Vanheim

Just food for thought. No pressure.

>>186303420
Undeads are all over the place.

>>186303571

>>186312235
Playing against the AI will never make you capable in MP. If you want to win games you should sign up for mentoring. It just so happens that a mentoring game is starting:

>http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vanheimageofvidya/discussions/1/1471967615889746218/

>>186312235
>also as i am newbie should i set the ai to normal or to easy

Play against the AI a few times, just to learn the game interface and the basics of the gameplay.
Then start joining PBEM games and losing them.

If you learn from your mistakes, you will eventually win. Reading guides will speed up the process, but many things have to be learned from experience.
Playing against the AI is worthless at teaching you how to fight against human opponents. It is helpful for learning the game, and perhaps practicing earlygame expansion with your pretender build.

>>186312235
buy me a cd key

>>186312946
but ppl will be mean to me if they lose cause of me

>>186313476
Its not a teamgame (most of the time), the only one you will fail will be yourself.
No one will blame a scrub for being beaten too easily by some aggressive experienced player. Or maybe you will be ignored for most of the early game and actually get to chip in in some war, then watch whatever army you have built get obliterated by some bullshit tactic, of which there are lots in this game, but most have counters.

Also important to note that with most PBEM games playing at ~1 turn per day, you should be ready to keep making your turns for the next few months after the game start.

The team (disciples) games are usually set up through the Steam group ( /v/anheim ) so you will have a chance to introduce yourself and make sure your teammates are ok with you in their team.

Top bright red - Moat's Abysia.
Dim dark red - Coolstory's Vanheim.
Teal - Sy's Mictlan.
Brown - Carlix's Niefelheim.
Other colors - misc and irrelevant.

Against all odds, when at his lowest point, our hero Vanheim won in a climactic battle against 4 nations at once. But fans of the series still consider the second movie the strongest due to its darker tone and solid character development.

>>186315616
In the end, Vanheim realizes that only winners make history. Having seen the true face of his old friend and current rival Mictlan, he quickly decides to fight for the world he loves, even though his chances of success are dangerously slim. He uses every dirty trick in the book, but he's still out of time, as Mictlan is always two steps ahead of him. Finally, after everything was said and done, he sits on the throne he just conquered, only 7 elves and a dorf remain alive after the slaughter, and he looks in the mirror. He won. But at what cost? He became the thing he feared and hated the most.

It has both higher skill floor and skill ceiling. MP is very lively, which can't be said about most TBS games. It's fun to learn new things, and you learn them every game. Today, for example, we learned about a certain nuance of the game's victory system, which we, having played MP for 3 years and won a lot, didn't know about.

>>186316714
From babby's first TBS-tier when you play SP against AI to the literal 5D chess when you play MP. Watch some let's plays for a general image of how it looks.

>>186316714
Fast paced for a turn-based game. A lot can happen in a single turn. One turn you might be biggest baddest nation around and the next all your armies are dust and all your provinces have been stolen by elves.

The game had a total of three stales, all from Abysia in the final turns. Good job, everyone.

>>186317217
Moat definitely loves being big but irrelevant.
He does it in every single game he is in.

>>186316714
Imagine having the usual "Just one more turn" feeling, but having to wait for 24 hours every fucking time. Then finally waking up the next day, checking your turn and finding out that your opponent's main army dodged the battle and you wasted a bunch of expensive gems on a bunch of scouts.

Such is the suffering of every Dom4 player.

But anyways, there's not much economy, the game is mostly about conquering moving armies and conquering provinces, with buildings limited to forts, labs and temple.

Tactical battles are always "auto-resolved" by AI, but you set unit formations and give out commands to common units and individual commanders/heroes, then watch how they performed in the next turn's report.

This battle simulation is very detailed and has many aspects, so they key tactical part of the game is maneuvering, splitting and merging your armies, and scripting them for battles.

Strategic part is about deciding where to expand, what to build and research, how to spend your gold and gems, and choosing who and when to fight.

>>186317571
>but having to wait for 24 hours every fucking time.
why tho

We have a sub for Atlantis, at last.

>>186318274
24h per turn is the usual format for a PBEM game. And while at first you might get much shorter turns, eventually some cunt start taking forever, if not outright staling.

There are Blitzes (usually through /v/anheim steam group), but they can easily take 5+ hours per game, and you will have to do your turns very hastily.
In mid- and late- game it is not unusual to spend 20+ minutes on a turn, which you usually cant afford in a blitz, so some strats which require elaborate set up and scripting are not doable there.
Like with speed chess, blitz becomes less about strategic depth and more about quick and efficient thinking and not losing your atteniton.

>>186366945
Go ahead then, restart the whole thing, find new players. Just because things are not going "fast" enough for you. Patience is a virtue, why are you ruining the game for everyone?

>>186367412
Why are you?

>>186367506
Im not the one forcing people to make their moves or you will delete the game. Some people. like to be able to use tactics instead of blindly putting out turns

>>186367882
Nigga how much tactics do you need for the first turn.

>>186367928
The first turn is the most important, you must think long and hard about it. Everyone in this thread will agree your being a asshole

>>186368207
Give me your cd key

>>186368207
Yeah okay kiddo. Propheting your scout or commander and MAYBE attacking a province blind sure takes a lot of pondering.

>>186368319
why the fuck would you prophet turn 1

>>186368319
Im glad you see it my way

>>186368376
Plenty of people do that, actually. Presumably because they figure they don't need a better prophet for a while.

>>186368207
No he isn't you are being a fag though. I agree we should give you the boot.

>>186367412
You are the one ruining the game because you are wasting time shitposting instead of playing your turn. In the time it took you to post that screenshot you should have done your turn.

none of these take more than 20 minutes max.

Also not really fair to the other players in the game to make them wait when you could be done. First 12 turns could be knocked out in an hour if everybody is on so the real "fun" game can begin sooner.

Just drop this inconsiderate piece of shit.

>>186368976
Whats not fair is that im not being given enough time to make my turn

>>186369113
Don't join games with a 24 h timer then. Host one with 1 year long turns so you have enough time to play lategame turns at your own pace.

We can say it's bait with a 99.5% certainty.

>>186370448
Holy shit you are right I am in that game, sorry about the delay I didn't even get the pretender confirmation or the first turn. Still though I don't know who that other fellow is claiming to be me was, I am in both games however.
I only realized I was in the game when the turn was resent and I finally got it

>>186376456
If I started close to you, you're dead, kiddo.

>>186376651
Forgive me my friend, I honestly never got the files. I have never before stalled and I don't plan to now.

All Ulm players are stalers at heart.

>>186376815
Well not me, for I am the cream of the crop, because I have growth!

>>186376815
I don't think it has as much to do with the players as much as Ulm itself. Merely the decision to play it automatically causes you to stall like a motherfucker, no matter how much you might wish otherwise and even if you've never done it before and won't do it in any other game later.

Why did you chose two paths that you have natively anyway?

>>186386081
E4 for minimal but effective minor bless on my sacreds
D4 because I had spare points

>>186386235
That's retarded.

>>186386235
>E4 for minimal but effective minor bless on my sacreds
Dai Oni can cast Earth Power for reinvigoration.
>D4 because I had spare points
Cool. Why a Demilich of all things then?

>>186386383
Cheap scales

>>186387651
Well you get absolutely nothing out of D4, which is available on your Dai Oni. You will also get at least E3 on them, so E4 is nearly worthless as well.

If you want a full scales build, might as well take an S6 Idol of Sorcery, or a Monolith, or something. At least you'd get another useful path out of is.

>>186387651
How are the scales cheap? Not sure I understand your meaning.

A2E1 - instant dai tengu, which means access to flying A3E1N1. Sacred and flies in storms. Make him earth boots - RoS. Do it like this if you don't like E4, whatever. Or drop E altogether to buff A, I don't fucking care.

>>186388856
A4N9 is a better choice, Dai Tengu can be summoned by a Dai Oni with an A booster.

>>186388982
Yeah, dure. You can even go A5N9 for easy air queen summons.

Though I still highly doubt the wisdom of taking Order/Prod for Yomi.

>>186389106
Than nigger said he hates chaos summon. I'd pick turmoil luck all day long as well.

>>186388718
Not speaking for the other guy but I really like E4 in general.

Reinvigoration is good for sacred troops (although I think it's a bit overemphasized for sacred mages since fatigue builds up way faster than reinvigoration reduces it).

Some of the army buffing spells are E3, but are decently high in fatigue, so E4 not only gives you access to them helps keep the cost down. And since you'll almost certainly pick them up researching construction, it seems like a good idea.

A ton of stuff is constructed using earth or cross pathed with earth.

>>186389703
It's E4 immobile though. And you already have E2 on dai onis, and can get E3, I think.

Fair point, and I don't know what the encumbrance of their sacreds looks like since I haven't played them. Do they also have at least B1 for blood stones?

>>186391239
Yomi cannot into blood. And their usual turmoil won't help them bloodhunt either.

>>186391516
Got it. So they're stuck with earth boots then, outside of astral or unique shenanigans.

>>186392003
Strictly speaking they have a hero with 1 blood.

And getting 50 blood slaves isn't that hard anyway even for a non-blood nation.

Okay, i dont know who told who about Mictlan, but here's another Lanka's loss.
The trade was not all that bad of course, but we come back to the part where Lanka is noticeably smaller and actually needs to make favorable trades to survive.

I really hope Lanka will start pulling some national summons soon, because Mictlan is already on it.

I guess Mictlan knows it anyway, so there's no reason to keep it a secret.

>>186402304
They'd be more heroes than regular commanders. You'd probably want shit like liches for regular commanders.

>>186402468

and the battle took place where? I am considering dropping a surprise for jags

>>186402583
Are you sure you need Lanka's cap and not Mictlan's (which is in #4)?

The battle was in #142

#155; #154; #153; #148 is Mictlan's southern border, with #142; #152 and #149 being under dispute.

Well, Ainz is still a squishy skeleton mage with little protection, he just won't take damage if the dude hitting him doesn't meet the minimal Level requirement.

>>186404176
It's Adu of Hades, pretty great manga so far in my opinion though there aren't that many chapters out.

>>186405251
Hes probably tougher than the average lich. Shaltear smacked him good a few times in their fight. Plus with his fight training hes probably something close to a wraith lord with worse attack and defense stats or something. He still beat down a lot of shit with brute force.

>>186405756
Well he buffed himself before the fight and had the right equipment to minimize the damage he would take.

>He still beat down a lot of shit with brute force
He is a Level 100 Mage from a MMORPG stuck in a fantasy world where people roughly equal to Level 30 are national heroes, at least in his part of the world. If someone does decide to make a Nazarick mod, he would have to take lots of liberties with the Nazarick guys and their stats.

>>186406720
Yeah but even a regular lich is pretty tough in dominions and Ainz takes his time to practice melee fighting as well.

>>186384720
I've found that for whatever reason, people always wait until the second day to do their turns. If people actually needed two days to do their turns, then the demand for extensions would be higher when turns are on 24 hours once the game reaches a certain point, but the fact is that it's not. IDK why game timers are ever set to be past 24h if it's not a one-turn-a-week memegame for full time busy people

>>186384720
>It's almost turn 50
So? How much time are you spending on a turn that you need 2 fucking days to do it?

>>186409897
Doing a turn a day as a big nation lategame can get really tiring. Better to extend the and keep the players dedicated than have a bunch of burnouts go-ai, stale or cryptostale.

>>186409897
>>186410286

>>186409897
>If people actually needed two days to do their turns, then the demand for extensions would be higher when turns are on 24 hours once the game reaches a certain point
People don't ask for extensions in the thread a lot, in general. Unless the admin and/or you are full time NEET, you can't expect him to always read 'hey, I realized I won't make it in time to do the turn that is due in 4 hours, pls extend' in time. I pretty much never request extensions unless I can talk to the admin directly though steam/discord/whatever.

>>186411005
>turns that would take over an hour to play properly
So? That still leaves you with 23 extra hours to do all your normie shit.
And if you joined like a bajillion games then ITS YOUR FUCKING FAULT

>>186411243
Feel free to create games with 24h timers for the entire game then. Just be sure to mention that before people join.

>>186411243
An hour a day o vidya games is quite a lot if you're a high achieving normie. (Good dom4 players usually are)

>>186265972

Just want to remind the admin that Agartha may need an extension if he doesn't make it back from wherever in time. While he is one of my most hated enemies I respect him enough to try to prevent him from getting a stale. If he didn't do his turn in 12 hours then please extend the game 24 hours. Also TC go home you are mean and dumb and nobody likes you.

>>186412160

I wonder how those Good dom4 players managed to clock hundreds of hours in the game if they only have an hour per day to spend on it.

>>186413764
Your hatred blinds you! Or maybe that is the brilliant stellar thing you put in the sky doing the blinding. We are only managing to do decently against Agartha because of how close he is to the coast. When we have to fight further inland we do considerably worse as you are probably aware, and Agartha's capital has been wolven winter'd by SOMEBODY into oblivion hardly a prize winning hog.

>>186415753
They didn't. Most people with 1000+ hours of playtime are scrubs.

Exactly how long is that?
