/domg/ - Dominions General

Marverni 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.

incase the guy who wanted two hours isn't here I will wait for them before starting. just let me know so I cna open the slot when you are ready

I've accidentally killed Ermor's prophet by attacking the same province as him at the same time.

Anything I can do to avoid an early war?

Remove him while you still can.

>killed Ermor´s prophet

Take the chance and push in, before he begins skellyballing.

>delaying war with ermor

I'm MAdden Arcosephale. I'm actively pursuing war with Ermor and I have support. I recommend just piling the fuck in so we can obliterate Ermor before they can ramp up their death machine.

If Ermor went for tribless, he has no way to bless his knights. Go for it.

OP Sucks

Thanks bruv

>tfw always backstabbing Ermor removers

You guys are lucky I'm not in that game. By the way if anyone playing as Ermor gets an early removal attempt, do say it here or to everyone in game so if I happen to be in there I'll gladly join the removal team only to backstab them at the crucial moment.

I encourage others to do the same.

Your "undermine trust" attempts aren't as clever as you think they are.

>You guys are lucky I'm not in that game
I wish you were so we could see your pathetic attempts at backstabbing.

I feel kinda bad since he said it's his first time playing Ermor.

And there's also chance for this I got border with 3 different nations right now, for which I see 2 armies in the horizon. I'll hold my horses for the moment until I see what they do.

Ermor players, everyone

>playing an edgy nation
>acting like an edgy team

Okay, but i'm still going to pile the fuck in whilst there's income in those lands. And if there isn't, D gems. Don't expect us to leave some for you if you don't do any of the work.

Another reminder to update the AntiquisTerra map.

Are there any mods that makes artifacts good?

>Artifacts
>Bad

You've never had the Ark, have you?

>Marverni Edition
Where are your boars now?

Can I request pacha edit with proper elves?

The best thing about backstabbing Ermor removers is the buttpain. They happily gang up on a single nation in the early game for existing, but will cover the thread in assblood the moment they find themselves getting some of their own medicine.

Cry all you want bitchniggers, but you better watch your back, because I'm in plenty of games at any one time and who knows who I might be.

It was ok but not really that spectacular

Alternatively you're not in this game so we don't give a shit, or you are in this game and you're Ermor so we still don't give a shit. Oh look it all comes to 'we don't give a shit and will remove cancer nations as is correct'.

3/10.

Nothing will top going into steam chat and pretending to be another nation for a long time.

Already said I'm not in that game, my butthurt friend, but I will likely be in the next one.

Frogs are the master race

>going into steam chat and pretending to be another nation for a long time.

I thought that was common? I've done it like 4 times this month.

Wew lad. How much gold is that?

>so desperate to rise above the 0 wins that you have to metagame like a tryhard

T. Kero

>complaining about metagaming in Dominions

Seriously?

>TFW allied with Ermor from the start
>TFW switching over to a summon based economy so I can live in a post population world
>TFW they think I'm heading the removal effort

How did that work out for you in AllMaMemeGames Asspoodle?

Then oh look we don't give a shit, I was right. That was easy.

Daily reminder to bats to please confirm you won't wreck my shit for the sake of quadbless meme strats.

>trusting bats

Do undisciplined animals count less when attacking or defending a fort?

Map file updated.

They count as normal. Hence why wolf stuffing your fort is pretty useful.

It's part of the fun

oh so that's the point of swans I guess

>A Dire Portent

pls don't be a new turn

Oh man, you should've told me that earlier.

Weapons of Mass Destruction makes them fun, Summod makes them balanced?

there was no new turn. carry on.

That isn't me but what do you expect a skeleton to do? Sit by and not help another skeleton?

You should probably stop chasing the carrot called Ermor Ulm is holding in front of you though, nobody seriously removes Ermor for the sake of removing Ermor, it's just to further their own interests.

Wolves are great. I use them mostly for patrollers but sneaking them into a fort to prolong a siege is also an option.

Awoo is the true master race

stupid dog

Can Aquntis Terra not start for at least another 8 hours?

I don't think you have anything to worry about tb h.
Why though?

Blog you here?

Lol left name on. It's because I want to edit my placeholder pretender.

This was a tough one.

Marv commanders: 5480

Marv troops (not including summons): 2059 (7539 total)


Boars: fuck if I know

Van commanders: 0

Van troops (not including summons): 670

Looks like we've got an Ulm now, I at least want an Arco and one more UW nation

WHENS OLATHE

If it doesn't start in the next 20 minutes, enjoy having to wait 18 hours for my turn.

literally waiting on 1 guy or 50 minutes, either or

I sent a placeholder god
please dont start soon
I dont know the ins and outs of neither summod or ea Ulm

>Middle Age, max 19 players
>Players so far: 19
???

refer to

The game's been full for an hour, just fucking start already.

Fuck this dumb faggot. He's Ulm, he's going to start chainstaling 10 turns into it anyway.

>Ulm
Stop memeing.

>flying shards

We're waiting at least 8 hours for and to get a few more players in

Wrong game.

Oy vey...

The absolute madman.

REEE etc two hours almost up

ulm players everybody

Is there any use for E1 Centaur Hierophants? 2 gems for Earthpower > Earth Elemental? Can't even put boots on them but at least you can empower a Pan to forge Blood Stones.

JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK
CREATING MY PRETENDER

you're a cutie

They can actually light-thug with a decent bless. Ironskin + brand goes a pretty long ways. If you want to spend a gem to make them fatigue neutral, that helps too.

What anime?

Protip: Do not bid for Dagan the Sage. You are not getting him.

Shhh don't tell them, getting naive people to open themselves up for attack by going on some retarded ideological crusade is a good pastime.

ATTENTION BATS ARE EATING JEWS AND WILL SOON HAVE TWO CAPS

>Ideological
More that letting an Ermor grow is just handing them a win, either by actually winning or just making the game so unfun that everyone goes AI or chain-stales. Killing Ermor literally makes the game more fun. This is the burden you pay as an Ermor.

>tfw still reletively new to game and playing MA Ermor for the first time

Is this what it's like to be a malignant growth in the human body?

>either by actually winning
Sounds like every nation in the game.
>or just making the game so unfun that everyone goes AI or chain-stales
Sounds like a bunch of little bitches.

Fun, innit?

Except not every nation can snowball into 'if you fight me you are literally killing yourself' to quite the same degree as MA Ermor. Plus, /domg/ cannot comprehend working together to take down a large nation. And as far 'little bitches', hey, feel free to waste your time in an unfun grind trying to do anything to an MA Ermor that has grown. Most sane people choose not to.

As an outside observer to this debate and regardless of the reasons, as someone who almost always plays with a strong bless, a neighbor fully committed to Ermor removal at turn 5 is basically a free cap for me, which I generally won't turn down.

I hope you put a slave collar on him. That will stop Fomoria from building a lab.

imgur.com/a/no8Wu

Don't ever believe someone who says they're playing ermor for the first time

It's the equivalent of trusting elves or bats

>tfw putting slave collars on mercs and unique summons

One of the greatest pleasure's of Dominions desu

More just that I need him and oh look I have a rather large pile of nondescript coinage aimed at him. And I don't particularly want to have to TOO massively overbid for 3 turns of an S1 sage.

That's a shitton of Snu Snu

Well, now we know that 1 vanhere with some magical support spells can satisfy around 9.8 women.

IT'S TIME

You don't even have to ask if someone's playing sauro for the first time.

Two gem incomes graphs and no research graph?

Hokuto No Ken

Fixed.

I do have to thank you for roundabout refunding the 50 water gems I spent trying to summon a water queen.

Very kind of you.

So is stuff like people sending you pearls for a dispel considered to be under binding trades?
