Previous thread 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.

Man, just Akashic Record'd Ulm.
Funny about him beating me on most of the graphs - Provinces, Income (what a stomp) Research (what a stomp), and Dominion. We're tied in forts. While I inch out a small lead in gem income - though that doesn't count the Sickle Ulm has iirc, flame spirits (which we both have I'm pretty sure) and Sea Kings. My army size is bigger too. yay?
Morale of story, if someone with the graphs refuses to post them and points at you and says you're the biggest threat ever - just fucking akashic record some people to prove otherwise.

Actually, I haven't lied once. I've been very careful about that. Not my problem you've literally been getting into the jewish persona so much you couldn't pay 100 gold to get more up to date information than from when I made my reports.
As for 'biggest threat ever', i'm not quite sure where i've said that. I've just been making factual reports going 'and here's what i've been paid to give out information on'.
Carson Collins

Evan Morris
Of course I couldn't spare 100 gold for graphs. Unlike Ulm, I'm not literally rolling in the cash.
And you're right, you haven't lied. You just avoided giving out any information about the actual game leader (because he's the one rich enough to pay you) and let people make their own conclusions.
A system to help the chief snowballer, snowball harder.
Hudson Reyes
I will admit, our gem income remains very close. Probably won't stay that way once Ulm finishing eating Mictlan/Ermor/possibly Yomi/possibly Xibalba.
Bentley Gomez
Nigger its only 100 gold. Thats like 2 war lobsters.
And I haven't avoided anything. I made my terms clear and very upfront on graph information. I've given out everything i've been paid for. Nothing more, nothing less. If you have complaints, take it up with..well, literally everyone who hasn't paid me for whatever information you feel you should be getting for free.

Justin Baker
Frankly, I found the 5 pearls cheaper.
And no, 100 gold is not literal pocket change when I'm playing a massive game of catch up in Research.
Also: ULMISH RESEARCH INTENSIFIES.
Jacob Lee
Well, if you ever decide to spare literally 100 gold - holy shit man i can see your income compared to mine you know and I know from that how much money you actually have - then you can get more information. Until then, enjoy mage turns and pearls that you somehow consider less total than 100 gold being used to get a graph. For one turn. On one nation.

Andrew Lee
I always get this huge anxiety whenever I'm in late-game in a good position.
It's like I'm an inflated balloon and I'm afraid that committing to any attacks seriously will just make me pop, so I just sit on my thrones/cap with my best troops never sending them out.
Levi King
Who are you?
Jackson Morris
I don't have trouble being decisive but unless it's one of those wins where you're more powerful than everyone else combined, the process of converting your strength to a victory is really taxing to me.
The higher you are the longer you fall and the risk of losing an almost won but not fully secured game makes me worry about all the possible ways something can go wrong (I enjoy heroic last stands and other losing situations but the fall from grace is torturous as long as it lasts and you reach the point where you're definitely not winning anymore) and there's this pressure to make perfect turns so as not to let the game slip from your grasp but perfectly scripting everything when you're big gets tiresome. And if it's one of those games where you have overwhelming advantage but there's no way to make a decisive throne rush, while not emotionally taxing, it's even more tiresome to grind out the win.

Whats the best way early expand as Gath, assuming no bless? I'm looking at Benjaminites with some Asherite arrow catchers.
Wyatt Martin
Why would you not take a bless as Gath? Levites are great troops, even without a major. Benjamites are great for dealing damage, but use levites or zebulenites for blockers.
Brandon Mitchell
I do have a bless but it's F4B9 and aimed for making seirim super killy and levites mid-late game evo deterrents.
I just realized Asherites have MM1, so yeah, maybe use something else.

>similar number of provinces >far lower income You've got quite the blood economy there
>Sauro was clearly lying about Hinnom being bigger 4 turns ago because Ulm is bigger now
The province graph you posted just shows that Sauro was telling the truth. Ulm didn't pass you in size until two or three turns ago.
Here's what it comes down to:
There are two nations snowballing. One is Ulm. The other is Hinnom. Ulm is an early-midgame nation. Hinnom is a blood nation with massive S/B crosspaths. Which one is scarier as the game progresses?
Also, you're pretty clearly creeping up on Astral Corruption in the charts.
Cooper Flores
.t blessrusher
Oliver Flores
He MIGHT just have shittier scales and a much bigger bless?
I mean, I don't believe that, but it's possible.
Dylan Myers
He and others are confirmed that he is bloodhunting extensively. Anyone who borders him can tell you about all the provinces with black hawks.
Tyler Green
Eye in the sky here. Following information is based on looking at their caps and taking into account summer season.
Ulm's scales are O3P3C3G3Misf1M3. Hinnom's scales are O3P1H3G3Misf2.
In terms of ability to make dosh, they're very close and there should be basically no major difference between them. People disputing the truth of my information does bother me enough for me to post this.
James Thompson
Given the gap between Hinnom and Ulm's incomes, that's fucking terrifying.
Charles Hall
Actually, since Hinnom keeps saying i'm lying, here's some other information on him: He has the crystal throne. This mean he can make crystal matrices and turn anyone into a communion master with his S2 mages. This is location at province 332. He's also getting free devils from the Devil's Den in 214. Oh, and don't forget the insane pile of gems he's racking up from the Throne of Abundance in province 127. You want to know who people need to gang up on? Hinnom, frankly, because it's _really_ fucking obvious he's running away with this. He's actively eating other nations as we speak - Lanka's cap is under siege, Kailasa's cap is under siege - and it's just getting worse, and he's really, really obvious angling for Astral Corruption at this point along with mass horror attacks.
Christopher Taylor
>Back down to 3 games >They're all late game >Don't feel like doing turns >Ooh, this game looks interesting. I want to play summod Ur
Why do I do this to myself?
Gavin Sanchez
Same reason I do. Dominions contains fun, in the end, and even if late game can turn into a slog you have a while before you get there. And hell, maybe it'll even be a fun late game
I honestly wonder if disciple games might be the way to go to solve the late-game slog. Each player has individually less to manage and script and shit that way.
Austin Carter
>he's going to attack me with the exact same setup that lost him 4x the troops last time
Andrew Thomas

Blake Phillips
By the way Yomi, it was honestly fine, I didn't need recompense. Just happy to help. As a warning, Fomoria just pushed further in and is now right next to that Kailasa province above the throne, so not impossible he might try to pincer you if they're actively working together rather than just opportunistic.
Colton Anderson
yomi cant come to the phone right now
Michael Cox
>tfw you get raped by golems
Thomas Adams
Do golems even have sexual organs? Do their makers bother with putting giant clay cocks and balls on them?
Lincoln Russell
Of course. Just as Man is a microcosm of his creator so is the Golem a microcosm of Man.
Alexander Martinez
Except I can see he just sieged down, breached and now holds the throne fort. Things aren't going all your way, Kailasa.
Kevin Barnes
a fort with nobody in it. grats
you lost a 2v1 and now the game is between machaka and fomoria
Ian Gomez
>i was just pretending to get the shit kicked out of me and lose a throne and fort
Makes sense.
Easton Ross
>kill 8x the # in invading armies from two different nations >shit kicked out of me
okay let's just watch how this plays out over the next couple of turns then
Hunter Long

Carter Reed
The only question left in rubbadub is whether machaka invades yomi or fights w/ fomoria over hinnom's territory.
There is also the possibility that he just turtles and doesn't eat anyone.

Easton Perry

Ryder Jackson
I'm not sure anyone is winning in that game. It does kind of feel like everyone is losing, though.
Carson Lopez
You've also never won a game you know.
Colton Diaz
Stop arguing about winning games and shit. It's not a big deal, you know. You just need to have the discipline to sit through late-game.
t. winner of like 8 games.

If Donald Trump was a dominions nation, what nation would he be? Ditto for Hillary, Stein, Johnson, and any other presidential candidate.
Daniel Bell
Full scales hinnom maybe? Tons of money but his best guys also fuck up his own shit.
Justin Price
Well, they're all bourgeois and therefore blood sacrificing, ever-hungry tyrants. Hinnom for all the mainstream candidates.
Thomas Campbell
Trump would be Yomi, obviously. Big, angry, stupid rulers who gain benefit from making life for those under them miserable (with turmoil scales).
