Maenad Edition

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

Okay, this one has already been spoiled in the previous thread, but i'll post the logs anyway.

This was the biggest battle of this game so far, which is not really saying much because every prior war was more of a swift earlygame stomp than a proper war.

A few blade winds have been thrown by Agartha, but almost all of the work has been done by Magma Children and the Great Olms.

Lanka, which has gone AI this turn (Rip in peace), is also making progress, retaking 2 provinces from Mictlan this turn.

Fomoria and Pangaea continue cleaning up whats left of Bery, with its last few forts either under siege or already taken.

Ulm has stopped eating Lanka's backside for now, while yours truly is pondering over what the fuck to do with all of those AI neighbors.

The ability to know what's going on with such accuracy is pretty much exclusive to Ur, especially in EA, thanks to the recruit-anywhere scouts.

So the next time you are in a game with Ur, ask yourself: why doesnt he do the same?

Won't the duplicate casters just blow their gems on random shit? Also arranging would be troublesome.

Can't into Undead Mastery or Master Enslave, not enough mages to make a dent with single target control.

Just unscript it and turn on conserve gems? Or move the gems to a noncaster? Or have more gems on a scout?

Original plan feel free to disregard
>get TC off coastal fort or delay him on it (earth snake can cast iron walls or whatever that spell is)
>engage one of his armies before he links them both up or delay him for a couple turns (probably delay)
>use d2 (3 with staff) starspawn to summon huge numbers of undead (mound fiends for reanimation/communion matrix'd death spells) so I can have a rigor mortis/foul vapors/quagmire/grip of winter c'tis styled army to fatigue kill large numbers of his mages.
>empower a teleporting starspawn into air and use communions to give mass flight and other air buffs
>at some point get serpents blessing to cast foul vapors with no consequences on main armies
>had a pact with asphodel to use eastern army to finish off Ulm's cap to kill most of his earth gem income so he could help by attacking TC's western farmlands (forted) Most of Ulm's army is mucking around in Pangaea. IIRC he was getting pretty sick of the game and I felt he would have not helped and just went for a weakened Pangaea and Ashdod since he seemed to be really friendly towards Ermor.
>If choosing to delay bombard his farmlands + cap with wolven winters to drop his income while assassinating throne commanders to take those losslessly. Then use Wizard's tower to guarantee a fort in the province.
>had a blood sorceress was going to empower her after a bit of bloodhunting so she could make earthstones for turn 1 alteration 9 rituals via troll kings. Maybe use some of those slaves to empower a starspawn to kill all fatigue turn 5
>at some point I was going to experiment with pic related style bane lord thugs, putting them in the undead army.
>I did scan him some ~5 turns ago so feel free to look at the score graphs it should really let you know how you kinda stand in comparison.
>If I felt like I couldn't win I would have just delayed until I got arcane nexus, wish, and utterdark then spammed the world into a horrifying undead apocalypse.
>Also use assassins

>>186986030
You don't get nearly enough ghosts to warrant taking him.
>>186986464
Immortality is worth more because it's something that's actually useful as opposed to ghost king which has nothing useful
>>
>>187009028
>Name all slave mages after Arabs so I can feel really lovecraftian.
>Was going to re-arrange mages in the main coastal fort army because I assumed he was going to whip out mass flight + quickened red guards.
>if you engage that army be sure to do it during the fall since they have way less hitpoints in the fall.
>attack the throne to force him to split his forces since the coastal farmland fort only went up a couple turns ago.
>if you lose an army it isn't a big deal since you have riches from beneath (resources to instantly replace them) and will be able to afford more mages anyways.
>at some point get evo 5 so I could stellar cascades spam with large numbers of star children (sooner if he was using mass flight).
>your armies with meteorite guards are vulnerable to fatigue spells so be sure to cast relief, also use howl to throw off gifts of heaven casters and punish TC if he really uses
>fields of the dead and life after death were on the to-do list
>be sure to cast darkness every battle it isn't about lowering precision it's about lowering defense + attack skill as your troops have darkvision
Again this was a kind of test game to see if rushing conj 5 for water elementals was really good for underwater wars, prod 3 to see how well meteorite guards do in actual combat my tests suggest that with water elementals they can take on bless rushes, and no evos only buffs to see how much better the army preformed.

If something deals, say, triple damage against demons, is the tripling applied to the base damage, the rolled damage, or damage after prot?
>>
>>187008035

So when can the smerv player get back his nation and do the turn for us all?
>>
>>187010464
Also was going to use a few sorceresses with astral caps to spam baleful star on forts I didn't like to increase unrest and shut down production.
Was going to get stygian rains because my troops do magic damage and can ignore invulerability as well as shadow blast (used with skull staff+communion) if I felt I needed more blasting.

Alright that's all I can think of at the moment. Best of luck.

Does anyone have the specifics of Looming Hell? Manual says "Up to 5 attempts occur" but apparently that's per commander since I'm getting dozens of assassinations each turn and it's kinda hard to arrange thousands of points of devil-proof leadership. Even Kings of Rain with a WLens to always have a gem and jag bodyguards fall in ~10% of the cases.

My observations:
-It doesn't seem to work on ozelotls, though I'm not sure if it's because of their 30 morale or because they're demons.
-Troops will only go after the commander they're assigned to. The same commander may be targeted multiple times each turn, each attempt being a separate assassination with a fresh devil.
-Contrary to the lies of the manual, there doesn't seem to be any kind of cap on how many total attempts occur each turn.

In addition to the exact mechanics, tips for dealing with Looming Hell would be welcome.

They can survive, but they need absurd regen (8+ I think) to survive indefinitely and even if they have it, you have to survive until turnroute as a defender to get them back if there's not anyone else capable of killing the swallower.

You attack them before your snake sheds its skin so that there's some good protective skin on it.
Even better is to attack them when the snake is about to shed its old skin so that it has both its old and new skin as two layers of armor on it. It's all about timing.

>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.

Were they sent to Tartarus by somebody between EA and MA or did they just go somewhere else like the description implies they could do? And there were 3 of these "little fellas".

No, you misunderstood me. I know that. He also used blood of many-many Pale Ones for the seal and got pissed when their godly mother demanded some kind of reparation for them. The previous Pantokrator seems like a big fucking dick. Kind of like Zeus on steroids, only even worse though not exactly as almighty as some bits of lore make him out to be.

But according to the MA nation lore, the Pale Ones did get so desperate to break the seal. So I was wondering what happened to those gods after that and wrecking all sorts of havoc.
>>
>>187061259
Ulm's fine. Has some scaling issues on account of the fact that they have lots of lowpath mages, meaning they can't do the big rituals and battlefield spells as well, but their early and midgame are pretty good since they have efficient troops and mages and the right paths and troop kits for those two to work together

Forester Bob was an SC that wrecked some elves and became a meme with a bunch of art because the opponent couldn't stop him. He was bog standard with a Frost Brand and Vine Shield. That's all I know after lurking for 3 years.
>>
>>187061896
At this point I think they are naming dropping Forester Bob without even knowing who he is. Hence the reason no one tells the story of Forester Bob.
>>
>>187061874
The previous Pantokrator did nothing wrong
>>
>>187061740
Probably killed by an SC or doom horrors or something.
>>
Is it just me, or are most /domg/ games won because players simply choose not to fight the clear leader?
>>
>>187061896
Are you for real? I havent been here a year and I have heard the story multiple times. Dont know why people are being so bitchy about not telling it today. Must be the /a/ crowd.
>>
>>187062420
I have only been here for about two to three weeks, care to give me the rundown
>>
>>187062413
Pretty much yeah

In MyLifeIsFallingApart, Fomoria is leading in every single way but people are still focused on Mictlan, who is getting rekt by Agartha and Fomoria
>>
>>187062583
Why focus on Mictlan?
>>
>>187062606
They're tribless so if they get critical mass of ozzies they would have killed everyone

I have not seen a single ozelotl, and I don't see them bloodhunting at all

They were also the largest nation after expansion, once Berytos got killed by Pangea and Fomoria
>>
>>187062413
Yes.

In NewGamePlus LA Ulm owns half of the world, and most other players are still ignoring him, choosing to fight each other or just do nothing.
>>
>>187062505
I'm bad at story telling but basically during a game in the early days when no one had a clue what they were doing man or some nation like that was getting bless rushed by vanheim I think, and getting wrecked pretty bad. All they had left was their lord of the forest pretender named forester bob so he kited him out with some gear, which later became pretty standard thug gear, and sent him to fight the giant hordes of vans. Bob absolutely wrecked several armies mostly on his own causing vanheims player to flip out, go AI and get super salty in the chat about the new meme everyone was going on about. Also caleum jumped in to help at some point which is why you see a bird guy in the doom picture.
>>
>>187062890
Huh, thanks for telling me the story of forester bob

Thrones are the big change that was even put in the title, previously you won by controlling every single province on the map, which got tedious towards the end.
Tax adjustment (one more step of micromanagement )was replaced with unrest penalties to income.
Slow-to-Recruit is a thing now.
There was also tons of balance changes and some new nations and other content, especially if you count the post-Dom4 patches, which of course aren't backported.
There are also some UI changes.

In the meantime, we have received a high-definition image of the Lanka/Mictlan warzone, with all of the happenings marked on the map.

Lanka's brain death seems to have caused quite a stir and now everyone seems to flock to Lanka/Mictlan territory in hopes of gaining more clay, gold and whatever else.

A Fomorian King was sighted paradropping with a retinue of undead horsemen on top of Mictlan's fort.
Ulm and R'Lyeh have launched offensives against Lanka, eager to take provinces away from a morally acceptable victim. The Lanka AI is not afraid to spend its gems on summon though, so the attackers might actually face resistance soon.

Agartha's advance against Mictlan also seems to continue unopposed. Is Mictlan dead for good or just regrouping whatever forces it has at some defensible position, hoping that people will stop ganging up on him so hard? Will he go AI like a faggot or fight for his survival?

1) Woo-hoo, it seems like Shinuyama's goblos and most definitely Pan really had some kind of a plan against me.
2) Shinuyama fuckers captured two of my provinces while my province defenses caught a fucking harpy (that makes it a second scout agression in a row and the Pan fucker was amassing one of his armies for quite some time on my borders).
3) Bandar-kun.
4) Now Sceleria, Vanarus, Bandar and Atlantis. I don't know what happens next, but if the worst happens, I am thinking of turning over my resources to my greatest ally. You four were pretty great so far.

Disregarding your mean comment that obviously in no possible way applies to a great player such as myself, and even if it would apply, there is no shame in losing from time to time, even to inferior nations while playing top-tier nations, hell, even Sy lost a game recently, and is about to lose another one, so what's the deal with all that negativity, it's completely unwarranted, flying is balanced.

Ermor looks like they took N9, probably on a statue of fertility
Ulm appears to have gone heavy in for Death
Marverni has probably taken boar
TC has taken W9 and some other things I don't remember off by heart
Machaka has taken...E and A? Lich Queen RoS caster maybe?
Abysia has probably taken a Contract forger
C'tis has taken high nature and death, question mark?
Hinnom has solidly taken something with high E and N9
Riley took something, I have no idea what, probably high astral

By the way, are Arsstatuts okay for sacreds? I decided against giving them any great blesses, either because I expected the game to be a quick one for me (my first multiplayer one) or I didn't find them any good at a quick glance.
LA Atlantis mage diversity really sucks though. And that's in the Age where nations like Bogarus have access to pretty much all paths.

If you want to help remove bats, but don't border them, you can contribute by attackong Yomi. The bastard attacked a member of the anti-bat coalition and is the reason why you will see a resurgence of bats. They just lifted the siege of their cap and are about to take Vanheim's. There would have been another army ready to contest the bat cap but it had to be pulled back due to Yomi's scumfuckery.

Sacred troops and blesses are an important thing to understand in this game, unless you are a disgusting MA Ulmite. Sacreds are already among your elites and they are cheap to keep, unless they suck or you play Hinnom.
Give them right blesses and blessers and you have an army of terminators.

Yes sir. Worse than that if you kill one and dont kill the gryphon they come back to life after the battle is over instead of the gryphon running away. The gryphon is also sacred.

The more I think about it, the elves are in a very strong position. They will soon have my capital and already have all my lands.

Out of their neighbors- Fomoria has very little and is still on one fort, and Machaka is at war with Yomi. I am sure this does not present opportunities for elves to snowball :)

Yomi is going to choke on my length 5 Machaka Spear.

He attacked me while bats were still at large. I bet he is one of those scumbags that backstabs players that are fighting cancer in MA. Elves can snowball for all I care but this guy needs to face judgement.

1. You expand to a large size (I'd rank Caelum expansion potential in tier 2, just below Xibalba/Pangaea/Vanheim) using your cheap Spire Horn infantries to rout indies with their lance charge
2. Research Const. 2 for Owl Quills (you reach your key research goals earlier that way) and then Conjuration 5/Evocation 5 for Storm/Storm power/Thunder Strike/Air Elementals.
3. Exploit the mobility of your troops by dividing them to smaller groups in order to assault a dozen or more provinces at once (spire horn warriors do just as well against PD as they did against indies) and then combine them together supported by massive thunder strike batteries to wipe out enemy armies in pitched battles
4. Research Fog Warriors for one last midgame powerspike and then start summoning Yazatas/Daevas, hoping that the diversity they provide will carry you through if you haven't won already

Caelum has one really weak timing (from secondary forts becoming available to Conj/Evo5) and owl quills will reduce the duration of this critical weakness by a little, which I think is pretty valuable. Moreover, while more air gems is obviously good, EA Caelum has no need for Winged Helmets or some of the other major air gem sinks and mostly needs them for elementals/wing guide/storm in the first wars and capital income alone is enough to fuel that as long as you don't plan on doing really upscale elemental spam.

I would say you can go either way, and I'm not recommending anyone to keep building owl quills, just building a bunch of them the turn they become available and then leaving your air gem stockpile to accumulate (you'd still have a few dozen by the time you reach your key research goals), but I'd argue Const. 2 detour is definitely an option worth considering at least.

Well, Aboleths would die out if Mothers suddenly died out, so the logic demands a way to make new Mothers in the case of Mothers dying.

>>187217662
But they do screw around with Banefire, which should be more relevant. Why do you think Rhuax would care about Blood magic anyways?

Wasn't that banefire shit after they made their pact?

>>187218294

>>187218006

>>
>>187218294
I wonder why the burning one troops arent long lived? They are the same type of abysian.
>>
>>187218620
I think the lore time and time repeats that pale ones were hopelessly ignorant and naive about the world. That's why the seal was made from there and put there in the first place.

>>187218695
It's not that Pale Ones are the only race allowed to summon magma children, it's more that they're the only ones with the opportunity: they're the only race that can reach the Roots of the Earth. The "Rhuax Pact" is a pretty simple contract: give fire gems, receive magma children.
>>187218620
It's more likely that Rhuax didn't make Abysians intentionally and he just wants to chill out way underground; he's not supporting them because he doesn't care about them, not because they have disappointed him.
>>
>>187218828

Quick question, I've been enjoying MA ulm and playing some fun (SP) games with them. Obviously the AI is not good at countering them and I've been trying to theorycraft and understand MA ulm's weaknesses/strengths a little better.

My main question is, besides other obvious counters like thunderstrikes/evo spam, curse of stones, or battlefield wipe type spells that appear later in the game, aren't ulmish troops pretty vulnerable to destruction spam early on?

Or is there a pretty small window to spam destruction and destroy armor before ulm gets iron warriors up, so it's not the huge crippling weakness I think it is?
>>
All of this just makes me once again think that every Dominions match actually has content enough for a whole fantasy novel series, if you pay attention to events and lore, and mentally fill in the gaps. Take Rhuax, for example. From the lore, it's obvious that summoning him is a tremendous event. What would it be like for Abysians or Pale Ones to summon him? What would he tell them? What if they summoned the King of Banefires as well, how would they interact, on the same side and in the same province? And you can even give King of Banefires some boosters and have him summon Rhuax. Imagine that scene in a fantasy novel.
>>
>>187218620
>Well, did the EA Pale Ones even know what was behind the Seal?
They know exactly what's behind the seal. It's just that in canon they were desperate. They'd invaded the whole of the surface at once, and got stomped. Then the dudes they invaded started to invade Agartha right back, and the Pale Ones unleashed the imprisoned ones to make the surface leave them alone.

Yes, it's a literal instakill. Turn 99 all your stuff is still alive, turn 100 the battle ends and everything on the attacker's side that's still alive dies instantly, no matter what it is.

Seriously, if just 2 players in the game decided to kill me i'd not be able to stop them, given i suck at scripting and army building/military strategy. But thanks to a good early expansion, peace treaties with my neighbours, some early gifts to them and plenty of trade in gems and gold, everyone wants me around as their personal bank.

I'm irrelevant, unable to affect the outcome in any way (except for kingmaking squids, I guess). I'm neighbouring Asphodel (west), R'lyeh's sea (north), R'lyeh's 2 land provinces (east) and R'lyeh's sea (south). I can defend my two thrones from squids. But they can just outright ignore me and go for independent sea/coastal thrones and win with just them. I can't even move my stuff to fight them there in time, outside of maybe teleporting a few mages. I'd say the game is already decided, with R'lyeh's current strategic advantage, and I'm fine with conceding to them.

I've been practicing a bit of summod's MA Ermor and was wondering what the best general research path for them is? Given the fact that they won't have too many dusk elders until they do some serious conquering I was thinking something like
>enchantment 6 (5 for horde of skeletons, 6 for rigor mortis, grip of winter, heat from hell) To allow spectators to be useful
>Alteration 6 (darkness? I guess use it so you can minimize the number of mages you gotta throw into the field)
>Construction 6 (boost research with skull mentors, skull staff and a d4 elder can cast darkness by itself)
>Evo 7 (Wind of Death, Wailing Winds)

Also not sure if I should take a small bless (d9) or a bunch of paths I can use to break into various non-undead summons and mages.

I'm not that familiar with summod's Ermor, but in vanilla it's way more effective to just get some more mages. How does summod change that?
>>
Where is the thick yomi ogre girl
>>
>>187243616
Pathetic.

First of all, never summon spectators. Dusk elders give you great paths for 20 gems, spectators give you indie-tier paths for 12.

Second, you are already death gem starved, and now you want to make skulls to "boost research"? You're already spending them on your mages, you hack.

Third. Your skeletons are counterable, and will be more and more counterable as the game goes on. Try playing against MA Ulm sometime, see where it gets you. The fact that you want to "minimize the number of mages in the field" says it all already. You need your mages in the field to be successful.

Fourth. D9 is fucking awful. You can get into tarts with your summonable mages, why the fuck would you need more death? For shitty MRN damage?

I'm so mad right now.

I mean, D9 Combined with N9 is pretty good for your sacreds.
>>
>>187244456
You know, I already wrote a full post about how I won all those games with MA Ermor, but then you decided to lie on the Internet. Figure stuff out yourself if you're so smart.
>>
>>187244028
>skull mentors
10 (8 with hammer) gems for +18 to research if you need research it is a better deal than summoning a dusk elder. If you combine that with a revenant that's another 7 research (no magic scales) for a total of 25rp for 19 (*17) compared to the dusk elder's 17rp. I'm aware the elders are much better in combat.
>why the fuck would you need more death?
For magic weapons and ~9 extra HP on your everywhere spawn knights of the unholy sepulchre and summonable lictors. I would normally pair this with another bless like w9 or n9 I'm just doing testing right now.
>>
>>187244028
D9 isn't a path you need but it's an affordable bless and if you have N9 it's a big defensive boost with an incidental offensive boost.
>>
>>187244028
Also I'm not
>>187244145
>>187244456
and as for 'minimizing' the number of mages in the field that is for early game before you start getting death gem income from rotting lands. It's a similar thought process to casting flaming arrows with a single f3 mage versus 5 fire elementals with 5 f2 mages.
>>
My favorite MA Ermor thing is being able to cast Rigor Mortis in like 10 different fights on the same turn
>>
>>187244579
Sure, craft a hammer with E3 that is widely-available to MA Ermor. You either have to get a pretender with earth or scam some gullible idiot for a hammer.

For magic weapons, seriously? First of all, you have all death in the world already, and you for some reason decided to take even more death. Okay. Next, you want extra 9 hp for your sacreds that only look scary to scrubs who can't cast dust to dust. Let me remind you that dust to dust is 22+ AN damage that can't be resisted. Let that sink in. Now look at the knights. They have 6 hp. They will be killed by the spell whether you have it or not. Let me also remind you that knights have 13 MR and banishment is 4+++ AN damage. So, suddenly, you got countered by a nation with H3 mages if you heavily-relied on your sacreds as well. I'm not even talking about D9 helping against EQ. I'm deliberately not talking about lictors right now. If we're talking summod, they take longer to setup.

Lictors already hit for 25 damage. There's nothing they can't kill with their axes that they can kill with 2 AN MRN damage. As for undying, you get half the benefit for much less than half the cost at D4.

This was one of the sort of pretender I was testing the blesses were a second thought as a possible way to death with earthquake/ROS. You get cloud trapeze for mobility, rain of stones or earthquake traps for communions, foul vapors, grip of winter (no communion), mist if needed, had the ability to cast bone grinding but cold 1 default fucked everything up. Can forge hammers by default, sitesearch, cast globals, etc. I'm not sure if it is enough for defense in the early game mostly being a foul vapors/grip of winter caster until more powerful stuff comes online and I'm not sure the magic paths despite their great versatility are worth it hence why I'm asking about blesses. If you got a better pretender I genuinely would like to see it esp if you actually won a summod game as Ermor. I'm basically looking for something that will let me win an early war (year 2-3) as the aggressor or successfully defend myself (year 1-3). I haven't gotten around to testing awake expanders yet but I feel being too large is much more likely to get me ganked.
>>
>>187250223
Drop dom to 7, optionally drop magic to 2, get air and earth both to 4. You'll thank me later when you have flying fog warriored skeletons. I posted 2 versions of my optimized Ermor rainbow in one of the previous threads.
>>
>>187250223
Also, foul vapors will save your ass. Just don't use it against something like MA Ulm when you use regular freespawn skellies. What you have to do is drag the fight on forever. Take your elders along and make him skelespam ad infinitum. This way shitty human-sized mages are guaranteed to die in the long fights.

Don't get why you want high nature. Not like most nature globals will help you much. Heat because 40 extra points, and skeletons can cross rivers and mortal shits not. Your dusk elders can craft shambler skin suits for censors.

And water is easily boostable. Might as well go for W2 to eschew quagmire.
>>
>>187250478
How long ago did you post the build? Searching through a couple hundred posts is killer. I can see that the earth and air would be useful for the buffs, the elemental nobility, and boosters (staff of elemental). I'm still not certain if enchantment 6 is the right school to rush first. If I were to go for thaumaturgy or evocation I could get leeching darkness or bane fire or something. But I'm concerned that by going that route I won't have enough blasting to reach a bunch of indie priests in a dedicated army. I could earthquake but that is gem expensive early game

>>187251118
Is the 40 points worth nerfing cold aura, and fucking over cold blooded nations like c'tis?
>>
>>187251198
It's about quagmire and grip of winter a sort of 2 for one. Also lets you summon the queen of elemental water with just the two boosters instead of having to also summon trolls.

>>187251369
You decide if 40 points are worth it. If someone gonna kill your lictors it'll be through dust to dust. And they'll die from like one cast anyway.

In most if not all games I won I've gone Ench 5 - evo 5. Never underestimate skelespam, hp rout will fuck you over if you rely on your base skellies. My main rule: raid with freespawn, win battles with skelespam and mage support. You can go ench 5 - ench 6, it's faster than going evo 5 (600rp), but shadowblast can save your ass against shit that won't die to rigor mortis. Then bane fire is on the horizon as well. Nothing can survive against massed bane fire, and your every dusk elder can cast it. Then wailing winds/wind of death are great as well. When you reach shadowblast, there are a lot of options, but you should seriously consider at least some construction.

Water queens don't give you much, to be honest. Would you rather have a water queen or an air and earth royalty? Thought so. Besides, good luck going UW to summon one if the UW shitters are competent.
>>
>>187251118
The nature was just for Faery Queens, Lamia queens (1 blood slave from enemy dom or a crystal matrix lets you cast all nature battle spells), and easy relief mostly I've toyed with dropping it lower but wasn't sure where to put the points.
>>
>>187252067
Few more questions...
Alright so >>187243616
Similar to this but with evo being bumped up to slot #2. If I think I'm being rushed go after ench 5 then go for evo to communion shadowblast.

I know that higher paths and the communions make the skelespam more consistent/stronger but shouldn't I get a couple spectators to boost research since you gotta wait like 4 fucking turns with base income to get a dusk elder out?

What is the best way to build your forts? In a circle around your capring slowly expanding outwards so everything is close and really hard to take from you or like a normal nation where you got one in every other province with a temple to help spread your dom faster? It feels like option 2 is the better one since gem income is tied to lands held in summod and that gives you a safe circle to send censors and other shit out from.

Finally, should I consider building a temple like turn 2/3 next to my cap because it seems when I do that I consistently have more commanders for expansion parties and more freespawn for smoother expansion.

Thanks much.
>>
>>187254867
You don't need communion to shadowblast, you silly goose. Your pretender alone (and maybe Putrescator or another 1-2 nerds) can kill everything with D5-6, let your elders skelespam to give cover. You ESPECIALLY don't need communions to skelespam. D3 is a bare minimum your dusk elders get, and D3 is 20 fatigue, which is fucking nothing. And you'll research with your pretender as well, what's there to boost. It's like 50 rp or something.

Always build your forts near other forts, and start in your cap ring as soon as possible. You don't care where the skellies come from. If some faggot sees you on turn 7 and decides to be a dick, you'll lose a fort if you build it on someone's border. Also always build temples only in forts as well so they can't be raided by faggot birds in the year one. Ideally, set temple to build on the same turn that your fort is about to finish. You don't need help spreading dom faster, you need both income for more forts and freespawn from those forts. Dom will spread automatically, just try not to build forts and temples on farms right away. Ideally, you want to have some provinces in other fucker's dominion (better yet, UW), so that you can get income from it.

Always prioritize mage indy provinces. You're so starved for mages that even N1 faggots will be useful to you, especially with magic 3.

Alright then.

What's the etiquette for joining games straight off llama? Will most games meant to be exclusive say so?
I want to get in more games to git gud, but I don't want to annoy people wanting private games.

Join whatever, if they dont want you they can kick you before the game begins. If they just want players they wont kick you

OK.
Any advice on an evo heavy setup? I want to do at least one mediocre game as EA abysia, but I always just utterly fuck it up.

Research until you have evo 7, and one of these guys with fire 5. Then you can cast fire storm

W9N9 burning ones are seriously killy if you want a memebuild.

I would research evo3 for fireball, then conj3 and conj5 to get phoenix power and fire elementals. You definitely want fire elementals asap, but evo3 gives your mages a very useful spell.

I once needed to check something in Dom3 inspector and opted to download it from Github (or Google Code or whatever platform it used) because the web page was no longer available and it worked locally without any setup (just HTML/JavaScript). I'd imagine Dom4 inspector works the same.
