/domg/ - Dominions General

Pelagia, could you please do a double turn now? You're literally attacking 2 provinces.

Sub wanted for C'tis. Fucker is going for a turn 1 stale strat. Alternatively should I just set this fucker AI or something?

Dear Diary,
it is now turn 48. N9E9 giants are still uncounterable.

>>186598390
I thought Jude is better than that. I mean, he's ponynigger, so he definitely has a retarded streak to him, but doomstack warfare when an enemy can defensive turn EQx999 is just sad. And to add insult to injury, it wasn't even EQ. SAD!

>>186598260
no ai please, better to restart than to have an ai t1, sub better yet

>>186598963
Right so. I'll give it a few hours while we wait and see if anyone wants to sub, failing that I'll just restart.

Hey can I get a 24 hour extension? Also would you consider moving the timer to 32 or 48 hours, we're at like turn 41

Is there any way to try this game for free? poorfag here, I wasn't able to find any up-to-date torrents, any tips?

>>186601458
If you are not the guy who keepsasking and genuinely want to know, not really. You are best off waiting for a sale.

>>186601458
Nobody is doing up to date cracks because people mostly play MP anyway. You can find an older torrent or wait for a sale. It goes -50% quite frequently.

>>186601587
I simply want to try it, I've found torrent of version 4.10, is this new enough?

>>186602039
That's some old stinky shit. Still, won't matter for SP, most likely.

>>186598882
what was it then?

>>186602157
Rigor Mortis - Relief - cascades - E10N9 bull charging into shit, heavy cav baiting magma eruptions.

Any games starting soon?

>>186602354
if you want to sub for ea ctis on turn 0 then you could start immediately and cause the turn to rotate

>>186602502
No, but I'm sure moggers is willing to.
Ask him in steam chat.

>>186602584
Thats not a bad idea.

>>186602039
You can find version 4.29 for dl

>>186598390

>>186602584
Turns out moggers is already C'tis.

>>186604906
I think a game like Dominions could be made appealing to the normie, esports crowd. All it needs is better presentation and accessibility.

Imagine watching a Dominions-like match at a venue:

Here you go anon.

I'll need extensions for the next turn (that is to say, not this one) of both MyLifeIsFallingApart and JapeCulture until, say, 11:59 AM BST on Wednesday the 23rd.

If you'd rather set me to AI in the former, that's reasonable - I can't do much in my current situation, though I'm trying - but I'd appreciate if you didn't do it in the case of the latter. Someone needs to deal with the ghosts, after all.

Do you even need a turn that long? It isn't like you are at war with anybody yet and nobody really has more than 1 cap so mages are still in kinda manageable numbers.

>>186623810
Average. Weak early, strong in midgame, falls off in lategame. Scales pretty well with skill, though.

Elludia didn't take a double despite being last, for the second time in a row. Two is a coincidence.

Yep, sent a single thugged druid against you. Killed 1 Jag warrior, died to vengeance.

And before you accuse our honest news agency of trying to incite people into attacking you, please note that we only report facts, and let people decide for themselves what conclusions to make out of them.

Well, Mictlan v Lanka so far is the only conflict that is not 100% one-sided. Lanka has killed like a bunch of jags and shit.
Much unlike Bery, whose fate is similar to 1939's Poland.

The proud nation of Ur has literally had 1 "major" battle so far, the one against Agartha in Sauro's cap. And while i dont think i've posted the log, i'm pretty sure i've given it enough coverage, along with the sad aftermath (The one where AI Sauro's longdeads deal more damage to Agartha's army than i did a few turns before).

>>186627869
What have you been doing anyway? I have heard about everyone else but the slimes have been pretty quiet.

>>186628185

So, in hindsight, what should I have done?

>>186644064
Used mage or thug support to kill the big fucking rock. Smashers on Banes are very nice for the task.

>>186644064
The rock is invulnerable to chaff.

Use thugs with armor negating weapons
or spam air elementals

>>186644064
lol
Try using mage/pretender support dipshit!!! hahaha

>>186644720
You'd need a lot of mages to fight a monolith.

Four or five s1 mages could do it, depending on the mono's paths.

Why does /domg/ have the best meme pictures?

>>186666813
They plagiarise the best memes from other hobbies/fandoms.

R'lyeh, can you please stop doing that? I have enough problems with Ulm, who, if you haven't noticed, controls pretty much half of the map and has unlimited blood slaves for his game-winning strategy.

>>186662870
15 for the first, 50 for the second, 100 for the third, 200 for the fourth, and 400 for the fifth.

Mages get experience from research.

>>186674195
Are you sure?

Units get experience just for sitting around, and I don't think I've noticed mages getting levels faster than commanders who aren't doing research.

>>186673207
You have 3 thrones. You are sieging a fourth throne on 87 with your pretender on it. This means you will need to take two out of the three thrones on 55, 8, and 20. 55 is owned by Jomon, who is obviously incapable of defending it from you, and you can breach it quickly because you have infinite chaff. 20 is actually still unforted, with no units in the province. Until you actually lose thrones that you currently have or lose your army on 87, you're public enemy #1

>>186675789
t. Ulm

You of course left out the part where you are the one currently taking over Jomon, and that to get to that throne I'd have to fight through your entire army.

You also left out the part where, in addition to your territory dwarfing everyone else, as LA Ulm you have a massive research lead. In addition to your Horror, demon and Vampire spam you are currently at least on Conj8, one step away from Tarts.

And after all that, the public enemy is me, because I took two thrones from C'tis, who attacked me while being led by a terrible player and managed to lose to the worst nation in LA.

You may have brainwashed R'lyeh Malakal-style, but I wonder what he will ultimately die to, your Astral Corruption or your summons.

>>186676578
you can literally win in 4-5 turns if you aren't stopped, so yeah, you're the top priority.

Would you be willing to cede one of your thrones to R'lyeh? Not to me, mind, to squids.

>>186676578
>>186676650
Also, I'd be surprised if I were particularly ahead on research because the retard I'm subbing into ran Magic 0.

>>186676650
>you can literally win in 4-5 turns if you aren't stopped,
Sure, if everyone moved all their armies away and let me take their thrones for some reason.
>Would you be willing to cede one of your thrones to R'lyeh?
Would you be willing to cede half of your provinces to R'lyeh?

>>186676750
I'll give R'lyeh 3 provinces if you give him your throne on 28

>>186676731
>I'd be surprised if I were particularly ahead on research
I can see that Wraith Lord and those massed Wights with my own eyes right now, so don't even start.

>>186676807
They're from an event, actually. It was even a D4 wraith lord, which is better than I'd get from a summon.

>>186676791
>I'll give R'lyeh 3 provinces
That's cute. I like the number 25 much more.

>>186676902
jus sayin is all. I don't expect you to stop rushing the thrones, but I'm going to call you out on it as you're doing it and I'm not going to begrudge help literally stopping you from winning the game.

>>186676951
You are twice bigger than me, you are LA Ulm and I am LA Pythium, and you are implying I am in any position to win a game. Your mental gymnastics are amazing.

Mentioning the Jomon throne was especially funny, considering you are the one getting that throne in a couple of turns.

>>186677868
Lol, he is not losing to anyone, Ulm would literally span the globe if not for 2 of my provinces in-between in one place. He is just playing safe by adding some diplomancing to his huge territory advantage and his national advantage.

>>186676578

T-thats not true

>>186678397
You were building gate houses and supply storages of all things.

Listen here, Moat. If you don't do double turns and will always wait for the last possible moment to submit, I'm subbing you out.

Shadow blast will consume two gems even with conserve magic gems enabled, on a D2 mage communioned up to D5.
Is this some weird behavior about mage AI not really understanding how being in a communion impacts their fatigue? And even in that case, why does it ignore 'conserve gem usage'?

In todays episode of "My Life Is Falling Apart", a lot of things have happened!

Battles from top to bottom:
1) Ur finally sieges Sauro's cap. Knowing the AIs behavior, expect a big battle next turn!
>Result: PD cleaned up
2) Agartha invades Mictlan's unprotected backside. So far, only undefended provinces are under attack, so no delicious logs
>Result: Minimal losses, unforted province taken
3) Ur retakes a shore province from R'Lyeh it has lost a few turns before because Riley got paranoid about mermen
>Result: 1 PD cleaned up, province taken
4) AI Sauro cleaning up some stranded Pale Ones
>Result: A few Pale Ones and Great Olms dead, a bunch of Bone Fiends lost.
5) Fomoria attacks a province lost to a random indie druid with Vine summons.
>Result: The attacking lone thug hits a vine man, gets hit back a few times again, realises that things hurt and runs away safely.
6) R'lyeh takes a neutral land province which has been unclaimed for god knows why.
>Result: A few slaves lost, province taken
7) Now this is an importan one! We shall discuss it in more detailed in our special report!
8) Ur attacks a throne province nears its Capital
>Result: Spectacular fail. ~60 enkidus lost their lives pointlessly swinging at fire elementals. Rematch scheduled within next 5-6 turns.
9) Fomoria storms a Berythos castle with a Necromancer and a bunch of skellies
>Result: Castle towers kill the necromancer within 4 volleys and then proceed to disassemble helpless skellingtons.
10) Not shown because for once i had no scout there: Ulm invades Lanka's defenseless provinces, as if Lanka's situation wasnt bad enough.

And now for the big scoop!

Mictlan's formidable army has attacked Lanka! Not just the nation, but the Capital itself!

However, this time Lanka was able to field a group of Asrapas! The berzerking demon ladies have lived up to their name and dealt massive damage to the Jaggies of all shapes and forms.
However, many were slain by the blood vengeance of said Jaggies. Despite their valiant effort, Lanka's demise would still be inevitable if both nations didnt get backstabbed at the same time, so only time will tell how they will react and if Lanka can recover from this.

From all the battles that occurred so far in this game, this has probably been the biggest and bloodiest battle.

Plus come on, we need to maintain the hype somehow. Our news must be fun and entertaining so that people think "Hey, i dont want to attack those Enkidu guys, they provide me with quality news and entertainment".

i mean if they just disappeared we should boot them from the lobby and restart. If it's possible, even try to all sit down to get like the first 5 turns done in 2 hours or something before going to normal 24 hr turns.

Oh, it's on roll20 with a discord for out of character talk. We've been using 4e and just house-ruling the races, though since this is sort of a reboot, changes to system/mechanics are fair play to bring up now.

How do I doublecheck to make sure I have the same map files as the server? Specifically, one of the links goes to a dead desura thing, so I googled and downloaded the closest thing but I'm not actually certain it's identical.

Also, I got the same spawn on the restart? I hope that's just a weird chance and not that I somehow have a wrong turn 1 from 22 minutes ago.

>>186712108

Should I prophet one of my tougher troop ferriers for blessing sacred stacks?

Prophet a sneaky unit who has feet. Give boots of flying. Rush thrones.

>>186721854
Depends what you want. The game is autistically detailed, there are literally thousands of units and spells and items and most of them are distinct and worth using, strategies are deeper and less gamey/exploitative than any other game I've ever heard of.

But it's not that pretty, it's slow, and to get the most out of it you have to play against people who know what they're doing.

>>186755494
In an ideal situation, the snek wouldn't have gotten itself to that level of fatigue casting FUCKING FLYING SHARDS JESUS CHRIST WHY WOULD YOU CAST THAT

Thank you for your understanding, Vanarus.

>>186757428
In that ideal situation it still dies

>>186603734
That's amazing haha

File: stupid and dead.png (294KB, 213x553px) Image search: [Google]

294KB, 213x553px

>>186756536
Well, ideally you take above E2 on your snek for additional protection and whatnot, as well as making it get much less fatigued while casting low-level Earth spells and giving it some use past the early game. Once expansion is over, an E2 snake, if it managed to survive, is a dead serpent slithering without much battlefield or ritual use.
Also, take Heat 3 for more points to put into scales, which also ensures that it's never too cold for your snek as long as it stays inside it's dominion. Order 3 Heat 3 will generally be more useful than Order 0 Heat 0, unless you're taking it on a nation that really wants it's cold.
Third, don't cast useless shit like flying shards, especially not if it's going to put fatigue on the snek. An E2 snake gains around 15 fatigue per cast of flying shards, and doesn't actually do a decent amount of damage because flying shards shoots fucking 10 damage pebbles that have trouble killing even a human in leather. Instead, have it actually engage the enemy.

>>186757595
In that ideal situation the snake doesn't get fatigue critted and actually does some damage to the enemy instead of sitting around and tossing harmless rocks like a retard. Fatigue is a bad thing for a melee combatant that heavily relies on protection to have.

Don't be pacifist, expand fast and kill a neighbor as soon as possible.

It's a proven fact that players will rather back stab-each other than team to stop the largest nation.

>>186759909
pacifism works only if you over expanded a lot, in that case you are either an UW faggot or some OP nation that everyone is gonna gang upon, but you can try i guess.

You still want to intervene at the end of the first war of someone's else and steal his lands/vulture some of its prey.

38KB, 863x437px

Interesting.

>>186759909
There are benefits to not waging war, at least a committed war that requires you to pour a large part of your resources to survive (the most ideal scenario in this game is being able to overrun enemy territory as though they were indies without taking losses or expending your real strength and you virtually always should take up this opportunity). You get to site search and research, you will be able to field larger armies than your opponents because yours haven't suffered any losses, all the while being able to pick resource-intensive but more cost-effective troops or focusing on long-term investments like Soul Contracts, and you are less vulnerable to being backstabbed.

However, you absolutely HAVE TO be one of the big guys for you to gain relative advantage. For example, if you have an income of 2000 while in peace and another player has an income of 3000 while mobilizing a third of their mage force in wars, they have just as much research and site searching as you, and more mages and territory total. In this scenario, you are losing ground every turn that passes and beating the larger opponent will get ever more difficult.

Biding your time is sometimes the right move, especially if it allows you to mask your strength and then explode in size before anyone can react (ie. maintaining the benefits of efficiency up to that point, but now also matching the size and resources of everyone else), but both long-term passivity and not being at least competitive in size and resources lose you the game by default.

>>186764230
It is always funny when they make those little things

>>186762269
What about rushing those globals that give you tons of free gems

Is R'lyeh my greatest ally? (JapeCulture Atlantis)
Are Shinuyama and Pangaea at war? (NoMalakals)

>>186766137
NoMalakals Jotunheim and Sceleria are definitely fighting.

>>186765148
Then you're just going to get attacked.

>>186765148
Most of them are rather deep in research (level 7/8, Mother Oak is an outlier, being at level 5) and upon reaching them, the game might even be more or less decided.

Moreover, you'd also have to research spells that can be used to convert the gem income into advantage which takes extra time, and since you have to spend gems to cast them, it takes 5 or so turns to get return on your investment even if you didn't overcast. And then there's an opportunity cost to consider: most likely having to design a pretender to cast the global (or constructing one or more boosters) which is away from everything else the pretender could have provided, and of course not having conquered territory and taken gem income from there (starting much earlier). Oh, and globals make your power known in an obvious manner so they don't particularly help in staying under the radar and then conquering your enemies in a quick war, and because you have researched paths that most likely aren't the paths of choice for fighting, you also broadcast your relative vulnerability.

Being able to spend your gems on stuff that provides long-term benefit (such as gem generation globals) is one of the benefits of peace in favor of a war that eats up all of your resources just so that you can survive, but "I'll cast gem gen global x and then start fighting" is a fool's errand. Merely having the global up doesn't provide you with any timings (indeed, it's an anti-timing as I described above, putting you at resource deficit and likely no useful research to fight a war, offensive or defensive while trying to get the global up) that you could leverage to catch up.

>>186765148
>>186766469
That isn't to say gem gens cannot be a sensible early research goal (for example, Alteration-5 is a pretty obvious place to start for Pangaea, even if it wasn't for Mother Oak) but sitting on your ass probably isn't worth getting them a few turns earlier (for Pangaea specifically there might not even be a difference because there really isn't anything useful for your mages to do before Alteration-5 and you can blessrush most opponents without relying on mage support) and a number of nations really don't want to fight before reaching their priority goals in general (such as MA C'tis and their Enchantment-5 trifecta: Horde of Skeletons, Foul Vapors and Quagmire), but the only example of sensible turtle-y strategy with gem gen as the end goal is Pelagia rushing for Arcane Nexus, and that's mostly because Pelagia is a trash nation that isn't good at anything else.

What's better than making an army of sacred statues?

>>186767284
adding sturdy mages and some undead thugs to deal with earth mages and fags with the shatter hammer weapon trying to counter your statues.

>>186767584
I should keep that in mind. Make Agartha great again!

>>186767284

Are you guys also friends of justice? Or mankind's enemy?

>>186795582
Everyone who triest to remove bats is a friend of justice.

Remind me please, sites with "a mage may enter to summon X" can be used by one mage at a time, or by any number?

>>186795634
then apparently I'm justice's only friend

>>186795709
One at a time like all "may enter" sites.

>>186795582
I have yet to see a single bat, where are the located anyways?

>>186795709
One at a time, and you get a number of things equal to the amount of times the text appears on the site.

It would be for the best so I don't have to set myself AI. If you can't find anybody then I'll set myself AI in the off chance you are actually in the game.
