/domg/ - Dominions General

It has begun, the death of dominions Edition

Previous Markata: 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.

THE NED TIMES ARE UPON US, BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY

4th for domgluminati.

HOW DO WE FIX LA MAN

Make their crossbows not shit

give them more than one mage.

Anti-witch knights with insanely high MR, poison resistance, and undead/demonslaying weapons all at an affordable price

Like fucking Rockem Sockem Robots.

Why is Winter always such best girl?

>Buffing crossbows

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

Vanarus, are you going to get your turn in or am I going to have to lazily edit some more grumpy anime girls?

Wait why are you giving LA Man witchhunters

How does this fit with the lore

Im going to make crossbows not AP, but increase the damage.

who is that girl in the window
what is she doing in there

waiting for turns

Kate pls

Kate

...

I just did two turns. I'm taking a break, then I'll knock it out and maybe start a double.

Page ten, so say the prophets of doom!

Thread on life support. C'mon, we had a 750~ post thread just a couple of days ago, is Midweek Dominions really this ded?

Dead game.

New PBEMs when?

Now, behold the miracle of ILLWINTER CODING, you see here that my FINE FELLOW OF A COMMANDER HAS ACQUIRED A FROG!

BUT SEE HERE, THERE IS NO COMMANDER. In it's paniced sate, the frog defaults to being a MERCILESS INDIE and sets upon the province defense with ABANDON! Or hops off the battlefeild turn 1, leaving a rather BEMUSED and TROUBLED bunch of soldiers wondering what happened.

It's night time in Europe and work time for East Asia.

> Hey Burney what so you think of that burned up tree stump over there?
>W-well I think it's nice that I came here and saw it with you even if you think it's stupid, Baka!

I'm gonna make crossbows AP, but decrease damage and range a bit.

>mfw waiting for this turn

HAVING MORE THAN ONE MAGE WORTH A SHIT

What should I research as Riley?

i t

d e p e n d s

It depends on what? Riley is a pure astral nation, it's not like there's much you can do with it.

EA? MA? LA?
Fighting uw? (stellar cascades doesn't work underwater)

What are you fighting? 80% of research goals are tech to enemy strategies, usually.
But i'm a shitter, don't mind me.

Should you immediately go force Voice of Tiamat to search sites, evocation to give your Slave Mages some power, or construction to get your aboleths onto dry land?

I normally rush astral corruption.

Conj 5 should be rushed on ALL UW nations imo. Summon Water Ele rules UW, and Voice of Tiamat is priceless for gem searching.
After that it depends.

NOTHING BRINGS A THREAD ALIVE MORE THAN A SUDDEN REAWAKENING OF DER_GOTTERDAMMERUNG.

fuck that one guy who wanted to start on the weekend, I hope he's playing bats

>implying the only thing you should be researching as Riley isn't Greater Staling and Advanced Ritual of Going AI

trips confirm

...

The mix of names taking themselves seriously, joke names, memes, and actual funny names never ceases to impress me

Bretty good 7/10 overall.

Special mentions to Lost at Nation Select and Dankdalf

>THere are people who unironically use default names
I'm going to kill those fuckers first, screenshot this post.

I'm going to rush cirno. I started next to him and he folds to bullying.

one problem with that plan. That isn't Cirno . . .

Oh shit! Page 10!

boartiful made me kek.

Post memes to fight off the skeletons.

Who gives a shit about skellingtons.

Fight off the bats.

But user, we are bats.

Then best to let the world rest in death. Only then, once all are dead, will the souls of young girls be safe from torment. Only then will the gnashing of father's teeth as they see their children ripped away from them end.

In death shall we all be equal.

>posting this here cause no one is left in the fucking game

Post your wallpapers so /domg/ doesn't die.

MEMES

Amazing Bat Facts:
Bat genitals are usually 1/3rd the size of their body proportion wise.

Quick /domg/! Claim your waifu to keep the thread alive!

I'll fite you for that waifu.

IMAGINE

Such fertility...

...

...

Your waifu is packing.

may i talk with gotterdammerung bats?

I really gotta get better at breaking stalemates.

I've gotta stop being a pussy and actually invade someone.

Yes you may.

go into steam chat then.

Group chat? I don't do Steam.

/domg/ I think I broke the game somehow. Last battle I watched I was able to pull the camera back much farther than usual and then I was able to pan upwards indefinitely. I have screenshots that are entirely fog and skybox.

R'lyeh do your turn!

>turn 3
>this happens

wew laddie. Perhaps 9 players in a 6 player map was not such a good idea after all.

If anybody wishes to negotiate over control of Africa I'm open to the idea of discussion. C'tis I think you and me need to talk in particular since we're so close. I'm sure we can work out something we'll both find agreeable without too much trouble. I'm mostly interested in coasts.

Also post music to keep the thread from dying.

youtu.be/oo-4Wjrf0TM

Is there an updated map? I got no idea who my neighbors are gonna be.

I haven't seen an updated one but I think I still know the gist of it. Who are you? I might be able to help with naming your neighbors.

I'm right at the top of Africa on an island in the Mediterranean.

>800 Maenads in a Fort casts Cleansing Water

I haven't been that satisfied in a long time

Yay, a land province to start. And blocked off by a throne. Truly an auspicious start.

Hip hip, squids!

>want to go with turn one shenanigans
>realize I'm most likely gonna end up in a province controlled by someone else
This is gonna be weird.

Riley do your fucking turn reeeeeee

yes goy, shove that map move 3 dragon right into my sacreds!

>dragon
>thinking about your cap

>>Dragon

so is this like dominoes or what

bump you lazy assholes

It's raining outside ! Fuck you sunny days, I feel fresher already !
>pic mildly related

Oceania

All I know is that there's another UW nation a bit to my right since there's some palace looking drawing on the tiles.

it's like dominoes + risk + a magical warhammer.

Where on this outdated map would you say you roughly are? This map doesn't include R'lyeh so it might be them, but then he said he started on land so that's out. I wish we had a good map for this thing.

will it ever change?

Geographically I'd say I'm where Pelagia is, although in-game I feel like I'm a bit more to the left.

Pic related has the castle I'm talking about to the right.

Ulm AI or chainstaling by turn 5. mark my words.

If you're off the west coast of Africa we might end up neighbors.

I'm going to save this image and alter it as I start expanding and seeing where people are.

Talk about something, fags.
