/domg/ - Dominions General

Previous election 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.

I don't like this ebin new meme.

Boy, Americucks should be fucking sterilized.

Which American politician is this?

Shillary's running mate.

He looks very unremarkable.

That's what's scary about him. If Shillary becomes president, she's probably going to die/step down because of her health soon after and he'll become the president.

Why is everyone so hung up over this "Shillary" thing?

Of course she's dishonest. She's a politician.

People love shitty puns.

I'm more curious about how the best democrats could come up with is "Drumpf", as in dump Trump. Meanwhile Hillary transitions beautifully into Crooked Wicked Witch Hillary and Shillary.

>"Drumpf", as in dump Trump
I think that's actually his family surname before they changed it after immigrating from Germany.

Trump has been more convincingly demonised as a person, however. You don't need to come up with names if Trump is itself a dirty word.

...

To be fair, he's done a lot of that to himself.

I've done medieval full contact fighting against both the lean muscular types and the goddamn giant bear types. The big guys are always more dangerous unless they are completely new to the arts. There just isn't any counter to 300+ lbs bodymass tackling you.

Though the reverse applies: Hillary does not stand FOR much, either "good" or "bad".
Yes, to an extent it's a strength.

Is your knowledge helping you win games?

Well, yeah. It's easier to fabricate on the fly than it is to refute. Pretty standard demagogery.

Hillary makes other politicians look like honest men.

Well it transitions directly to the fact that trampling units are very powerful and the means to stop them or kill them from afar are important. This has, however, only been of real use during a meme game where one of the opponents had a nation with almost nothing but elephants on it's roster.

In tackling, yes, there is an advantage. It's fairly negligible though, because tackling is uncommon, and large size is itself a disadvantage when you're waving sharp pointy things about. And that all depends on skill, not strength or size.

Though having a good layer of biological padding is not a bad thing.

But she doesn't.

What are you doing, Sauro? Stop attacking Abysia.

>sharp pointy things
I was talking about the kind of medieval fighting where we have armor. The sharpness point is kind of moot unless you have access to those Jomon curved swords capable of cutting steel plate. Subduing someone to give the killing blow with a dagger or bashing their head in with a mace is the way to go.

As an outside observer, I am still legitimately amazed by this meme.

Hilary lies? Yeah, pretty much. At about the standard rate for most politicians. No surprises there. She's very much a Standard Politician.

On the other hand, a MAJORITY of Trump statements are untrue. That's something we haven't seen in a politician since the thirties.

You've still got pollaxes and maces, and zwiehanders are also pretty useful. But with longsword &c. I admit grappling is going to become a lot more common.

>/domg/ - Politics and Weaponry

That's pretty much what the game's founded on.

--Though, I suppose that's just history in a nutshell.

Thank you for #CorrectingTheRecord. 0.01 hot pockets has been deposited into your account.

That's what the discussion usually drifts towards when a group of middle-aged men get together around here.

When fighting other opponents, especially in armour, it can quite often come down to wrestling, often using the weapon as a tool for that rather than striking. This goes for all weapons, but it goes double for armoured fighting when you have a sword or other cutting weapon (which is mostly useless against plate).

sup CTR

...

I doubt he's consciously biased. He's probably basing his information on politifact, which is itself biased in Hillary's favour.

But it's true that Hillary is not unusual.

Yeah, I was thinking of unarmoured duelling when I said that.

This is true, if you go by facts then you're going to be giving pretty much every point to Clinton. You need to understand truthiness.

No, that site is legitimately biased towards Clinton.

Facts aren't actually important in politics. Whether a politician's lying or telling the truth, they're only furthering their agenda. Distinguishing between true and false is pointless. Politics is about interpreting facts, not gathering them.

Exactly what I said. You can't go by facts because if you go by facts, you'd be giving it to Shillary. Don't let her 'facts' and 'figures' trick you into thinking that having a basis in reality is actually important. Only Trump can lead us to a better future.

Can you cocksuckers please go back to /pol/?

Hillary has been in the public eye for 30 years. You can support almost any assertion with the evidence that generates. So shes been accused of various flavors of dishonesty for that period, and has made some untrue statements, so even there isn't an unusual amount of lying over that period, the charges stick.

Hilarious.

Everything has a basis in reality. That's the point. Hillary and Trump tell the truth only when it benefits them, and only with a beneficial interpretation. They lie when it benefits them, and only with a beneficial interpretation. The politics they are founded on itself attempts to use all facts it can, and interprets it as it thinks is most valid.

For example, a Stormie sees high Black crime as indicative of genetic inferiority, while a liberal sees it as indicative of poor social conditions. And a socialist doesn't care, because they know it's all about capital. &c.
No.

>tfw I know a mod on Veeky Forums personally
>tfw all those cocksuckers will be banned for a week in a few hours

Are guys with lasers even remotely effective against hordes of lightsaber goons? What's the balance cost/power wise between them?

And on the topic of politics, who /iStandWithVermin/ here? He's the only logical choice.

Newfag here to Save The Thread: is there an equipment list in the manual or something? I'm trying to figure out the actual damage value of units.

Use dom inspector, it has armor and weapon tabs. Also keep in mind that most weapons don't include strength bonuses from unit stats. So if you see a spear with no listed damage, it just means it will do =strength amount of damage.

Look, i'm a Trump supporter. I want him to Make America Great Again. It's not my problem if you can't accept that his lies are what make him strong. Hillary feels like she has to tell the truth, and uses it as a weapon. Trump knows that the truth is just a shackle, that you have to break those shackles to become truly free.

There is no denying that Clinton lies sometimes. The difference is that she's familiar enough with the truth to use it or to craft lies around it. Trump literally is not, and, consequently, lies in an especially blatant and frequent manner.

>So if you see a spear with no listed damage, it just means it will do =strength amount of damage.
Do you mean it adds on the unit's base strength (ex. 10 str unit does 20 dmg) or that it doesn't add anything at all (ex. 10 str unit does 10 dmg with a spear's reach)?

the latter

The latter.

For example, this regular sword will do 16 damage when used by a basic infantry, and 26 if used by a giant with 20 strength.

Also, read the manual about damage types. Slashing/Bludgeoning/Piercing all have different bonus effects.

Why are americans so obsessed with politics to the point where they have to inject it into everything?

Have you seen a single piece of American media created in the past year that wasn't politically charged? It'd be quite an impressive achievement if an American were able to focus on anything else considering how hard they're bombarded with this madness.

Also shitposting about how Clinton is anything but pure, concentrated, neo-conservative malice is an easy way to farm (you)s.

Vote Ermor for world leadership now! Ermor, the white humanoid skeleton's platform. Ermor will not only take care of your well-being while you are alive, Ermor will take care of you after you are dead.

Remember, every vote not cast for Ermor is a vote to cast Burden of Time.

Typical liberal.

Feels bad, man.

Is the Pantokrator B. Trump guy still around? We could arrange a Republicans VS democrats disciple game.

Do you have a death wish?

Yes.

I'm shocked it took this many democratic candidate threads before someone got triggered.

Are you the Belorussian lad who was posting in /twg/ about the Battle of the Nations perchance?

I have nary an idea where Belorussia even is.

Belarus a relatively small country squished between poland, the baltics, russia and ukraine. Its capital is Minsk which should point it out if you know your history.

Just curious.

Russians are cute, CUTE!

Oh, you mean White-Russia.

Bogarus, I can make you supply items if you gofuckyourself.

If you know them as that then yeah. Fairly dated term though.

We used to throw rocks at kids like you in school.

I know, what kind of fag uses VLC, am I right?

Worst part is that every single Mage lost is them going off script after 5 turns and casting stuff that procs BV.

I have scouts in Sauro. He's not just ineffectively attacking into Abysia. He also lost two provinces and a fort to indies he didn't bother to clear.

Oh, a slight Addendum. Either I'm missing something here or IB isn't proccing BV at all.

Sure thing Putin, Chechnya attacked YOU.

Thanks m80s.
Are you a Russian Prince from the late nineteenth century?

I bet your dad works for Nintendo too.

Uhh, that's what actually happened. Unless you got brainwashed by liberal propaganda, of course. And it was called Ichkeria back then and was planning to create an imamate.

We did it boys.

Uh, Polgrave? Can you get in the steamchat?

Doesn't yours?
Give me your lunch and I'll let you come over and play Super Mario 65

My conflict with Sauro started when his dumb ass attacked two of my provinces from his throne in a very telegraphed attack. He has continued to foray into my provinces as recently as three turns ago. My taking that throne last turn was the first time I'd taken any provinces from Sauro that did not previously belong to me.

W-why no one talk to nice fish? :(

Noice, I'm not even in the game, just talking smack. Keep me posted.

>Jomon curved sword

That’s it. I’m sick of all this “Jomon curved sword” bullshit that’s going on in the dominions crunch right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I’m talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that’s about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.
Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I’m pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That’s right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the dominions system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

Katana - Damage 12, Attack +6, Defence +10, Length 2, Nbr of Attacks 5

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don’t you think?
tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in Dominions 4, see my new stat block.

haven't seen this one in awhile

Going to need a better map-link. The steamthread you link only has a .map file, but not a .tga file. You should just zip the two and upload them to mega instead.
