/domg/ - Dominions General

Thoughtful and intelligent Diplomacy Edition

Previous Pantokrator: 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.

Said it in the other bread, will say it again : Maverni is on board in the meme game. Please be gentle.
and why golems, why

Make your own golems and do some rounds of robot wars

Oh I will if I get there, but how am I gonna meme it up with turn 1 blind expansion ?

That's what you brought a dom10 E9 erf snek for, right?

m-maybe

to be fair, I took this approach to diplomacy after getting attacked by 5 or 6 of the 12 other players in the game ... despite being maybe the third largest nation.

24 NATIONS

DER GOTTERDAMMERUNG DRAWS CLOSER

NOOBS, NOOBS WITH EXPERIENCE, A COUPLE HARDENED NOOBS

GET IN ANd GET STOMPED BY 300% EMPOWERED BATS

Where do bats start ?

I can't wait to have my cap sieged on turn 2

what nations are left for Der_Gotdammerung?

Haven't played for over a year, but never got super knowledgeable. I took a little under a third of a small map and was doing well, but noticed my dominion was going away and forgot about temples. Built one in most of the provinces but it never recovered. Do temples build up more the longer they exist or something? Not sure why it wasn't at least stopping my dominion loss

you need high candles in a province to stop enemy dom spread and increase the chances yours will spread. Temples are kind of exponentially effective.

TNN, Niefel, Pelagia and uh...I don't know.

Ah, so I should have started by building them outward from my main city rather than from my far territory inward like I did?

fuck it I'll take Agartha

Hope you'll crack the seal.

Maybe. If your provinces are blacked, just having a temple isn't solving the problem, and the checks might not happen in your favor, even if you have some praying on the side and you get a 100% check. Yeah, it's probably better the other way to flood your dominion progressively. It can be a bitch to reverse the situation in any case, depending on how much influence you lost overall.

please don't become skeletons

...

>playing Agratha in EA memegame with increased everything
>not cracking the seal

/domg/ isn't that bad right?

I hope not, though if I get a god vessel on my turf I swear I will have no idea what to do

Just keep sending troops at it, God Vessels have a pre-set kill limit.

Thanks Bogarus, etc.

If only Pangaea was alive and didn't AI like a faggot...

Bogarus failed to storm you some turns ago and your statue could hold the line while the fort arrows destroyed his full army. Now AI Pan killed the siegers.

Forgot image

Please tell me Bogarus is AI.

Nope, of course he isn't.
This is the second time he loses his Virtue to Pan.

What the fuck is going on

Waen was a good friend.

Rest in pieces.

I'm not actually sure what got him killed, it might have been a domkill, but i checked candles last turn and he had at least a few turns to live since my dominion doesn't spread that fast up north and provinces bordering his last dominion only have 1-2 candles.

>Unironically buying black hoods

I bet the Virtue noticed the trash that was brought with her and killed herself out of embarrassment.

How the actual fuck

It's AI so odds are swarm spam.

by the pantokrator. How retarded is that angel.

his virtue died again?

...

STOP CASTING RIGHT NOW

stop me.

But I'm one of you.

Forgot my pic of cute skellies

C'mon now, hold the fort you scrubs

this seems really hard to get into

Not really. Heared about "Dwarf Fortress"?

It's less effort than other multiplayer strategy games

unlike your mom lol
But all shitty overused jokes aside, it is at the beginning, but it's fun and less complicated than it seems at first. All you have to do is sit back and relax while thinking of your next turn.

it's moderately easy to get into.
the interface and the commands are clear, so you just have to learn the basic strategy to get started.

Once you understand the basics behind logistics and magic it's actually quite simple. Once you're comfortable with the basics it becomes an arms race of innovation and creativity. That or spam meme-strategies until you win.

Do you guys send in-game messages as RP or just go all "yo dawg dat nigga stole my throne let's fuck him up"?

both

I'd like to write RP-messages, at least from time to time, but my scarce knowledge of English won't allow me.
So I am RPing as a drunken, illiterate russian.

Sometimes I start RP but as the game progresses and there is more stuff to do I lose the will to continue with it...

Have you done your part to remove elves today ?

Half an hour left on the 75% Dom4 sale:

Found this when scripting, is it just an unfinished spell or something?

Its the 'life for life' blood spell, not sure why it sometimes appears this way.

Mods cause it

quick. give me a pretender for MA ermor blitz.

A4E4S6D6 lich queen

Any of the Cirno's Sauro builds.

Maximum MEme

Bump

You killed me ya bass.

[Spoiler]My only regret is thinking Aran would keep his word when making a coalition against Nicknight.

>Phone messes up spoiler tag
I now have two regrets.

Bump

Post memes to fight off the skeletons.

...

FUCKING HELL

Is this fahnny joek?

Seems legit.

>25 Astral Pearls for a Lantern
They're 5 damn fire gems. It would be cheaper to empower a mage into fire and make them. Unless Mari has a ridiculous lead in research, or there are literally no other fire nations in the game, it's an insult to capitalism.

I'm fucking melting, Illwinter plz

I'd be tempted to attack Marg for sending such an insulting offer

R U niefelheim?

...

Abysia is fucking on fire.

*external screaming*
If I was I'd cast Illwinter.

Caelum?
LA Atlantis?

There's no other major fire nations in the game, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

>No other fire nations
>Fucking Abysia exists

Even someone with an F1 random would work.

I mean holy hell, either Mari's insulting everyone, desperate for cash, or has no idea how an economy works.

Remove Ermor and all Ermor offshoots.

You're thinking of the wrong game, that's NoBones

Some of you meatbags are alright.

Don't go to Aldgold next month.

Does Luck stack?

I got a weapon with luck, two items with luck and bless that gives luck. Should I put them all on a SC and send him to the casino?

No.

Fucking illfraud won't let me make a Pocoloco build.

>bless that gives luck
That's not actually luck, it's twist fate.

It'll stack with luck.

Good enough I guess, I'll give him a shroud.

Just warning you, twist fate only works for one attack.

It's not really worth using a shroud for.

Does it also works for spells?

Twist Fate negates the first instance of damage your unit takes, so it'll work against spells which do damage.

It works against the death bite of the devourer of souls, so when the luck pendant was autocasting twist fate each turn it completely stonewalled the poor doggo.

If you give a pretender a Shroud, does it work?

Why aren't pretenders affected by their own bless to begin with?

I just tested it, it doesn't work.

Triggered.
It should be Die Götterdämmerung

Screencapping this.

Only 3 more to go. Lanka, Niefelheim, and Therados.

I for one welcome a memegame that isn't currently just waiting to be won by either bats or cancer.

No-one took Lanka yet? Really?

They're scared because they will have borders with Kailassa and Machaka, who will obviously rush them with 300% stuff.

>Getting rushed by EA Machaka
Truly there is no more terrifying fate.
