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.

I was lying the entire time. I wanted to hit machaka when he made a move on my provinces.

Is casting Communion Master/Slave, Summon Earthpower, Flight, Earthquake, Earthquake (spells) a valid strategy?
Jordan Collins
It'll also need to wait for Sum1 to accept my changes after I make the hotfix

Step it up.
Kayden Flores
Thank you. Just as well too, Hinnom sent a Ba'al with a shadow brand, a vine shield, a dragon helmet, copper plate, winged shoes, girdle of might and ring of regeneration and I'm not sure how to deal with him. Dont expect too many turns from me tonight. I am tired as fuck and have shit to do tomorrow.

Blake Taylor
Actually scratch that, I have a plan.
Owen Allen
Curse + either chaff or PD
a couple of afflctions will teach him who's the boss of this gym
Alexander Harris
No, it takes way too long and is exhausting. Try to use crystal matrixes, earth boosters and ring of levitation.
Brody Peterson
Yes it is don't listen to the other guy. I've communioned E2S1s up for army of gold.
Isaiah Campbell
Protip: his Ba'al cannot advance against basic skeleton spam, unless he's changed him up significantly. Hinnom and I had a really funny battle where my squid cast raise dead over and over and his giant killed the skellies but couldn't move forwards.
Whose got this. What memes can be expected from each team, i.e. try to predict the wonder builds.
John Cox
He sent another Ba'al with much the same gear apart from messenger boots. The non flying one is now good and horror marked though.
Mason Myers
>Sceleria/Ermor I sure wonder.
Jason Cox
hinnom do you really want trisia that badly
Logan Long
Sceleria is going to have a rough time when all his population starts to die.
Gavin Murphy
This is a newbie game, right? Learning to not kill your population seems like a pretty good lesson to me.
Andrew Hernandez
Its supposed to be an experienced player/scrub player team up.
Juan Mitchell
Not possible. Apparently their team started without a sempai considering they thought it would be smart to make Ermor the pretender.
Of course, its summod, so they run into the conundrum that to get extra D gems Ermor *has* to be the pretender. Or, Ermor is the second weakest nation in summod disciples (Oceania is still worse).
Samuel Price
Posted in last thread without noticing we had a new one, so reposting my response.
>Whose got this. I'm betting on Mictlan/Jotunheim.
Jotunheim is the best MA blood nation and Mictlan will be extremely strong once their ally gets them into blood.
>try to predict the wonder builds. Most of the choices have fairly obvious plans, but I'm not sure what Ashdod/Abysia and Nazca/Asphodel are planning.
Nazca/Asphodel might just have been a case of them wanting to snatch up two strong nations, but I really don't see how Ashdod/Abysia go together well.
Joshua Bell
Sorry to disappoint those expecting more fast turns but unless I get a new turn in like 10 seconds I must go to sleep.
Dominic White
What do you expect from Man/Ulm?
Michael Hall
what's stopping Jotunheim/Mictlan from getting punched in the face for being super rushable?
Other than the power that is Malakal bitching in thread about how weak he is and people should attack X instead?
Colton Phillips
Hello my friends. =)
The war continues on, BUT! I have found a bug. =(
Specifically, I have a temporary death gem making item whose sprite appears to be a penis?
Ryder Lewis
Or the two UW nations?
Zachary Kelly
let me guess, summod again?
Thomas Taylor
Remember, a wizard's staff has a knob on the end
Hunter Fisher
Strange combo with Man getting Knights of Avalon in magic 2 forests and Ulm being dependent on gold/prod scales but utilizing drain as a dump 9 times out of ten.
Andrew Jones
I believe that is from a copy of summod that someone else has fucked with. Same thing happened to me but I had no sprite and it made the game crash.
Carter Russell
If you look at summod's sprites directory, it actually has three dicks: a limp dick, an erect dick, and a black dick.
Blake Rivera
wtf keep the silliness in magic enhanced
David Robinson
Reminder to always rush malakals.
Grayson Walker
Hol up. Isn't that map for more than 2 UW nations?
Colton Evans
3 UW nations but no one wanted to join me under da sea
Michael Thomas
Oh, and another strange bug - Jomon's army in 84 does not appear on the overland map. I checked his commanders' items, and it doesn't look like he has anything to hide troops. Some of the amazons were shrunken, but... nothing has glamor. Very strange! =)
Aha, yes, I remember. Then Llamaserver apparently is playing on that version of summod instead of the normal 0.70.
That also explains the penis then. I believe I had renamed one of them to get around that same crash.
Okay, all makes sense now. =) When I take this gem gen into battle, other people may crash if they do not have a sprite with the appropriate name in their summod folder, though.
Camden Williams
That's moggers' addition to summod.
Jordan Cook
They had to fuck with it a bit because no one wanted to be gangbanged underwater.
Levi Jackson
Full scales for their pretender.
In terms of strategy, I'm expecting Ulm to focus on fighting the direct battles with enemy armies while Man does stealthy stuff and raids enemy provinces.
I'm definitely hoping that does happen, but I think they have by far the strongest picks if they can survive earlygame.
Rushing cancer globals. Their team name seems to be a reference to the /domg/ team in community clash.
Do you want to pick a third water nation and fight by yourself against a Pelagia and R'lyeh team?
Evan Peterson
our girl
Levi Myers
Literally who?
Owen Peterson
That means six free extra provinces for both of you guys.
Aiden Sanchez
I don't know why you don't think nazca and asphodel won't work, both enjoy a double bless and asphodel can buy their mages all game long since they won't die from pop kill. As for Ashdod abysia I see a pretty simple N9E4 scales build that will work for both
Jaxon Perry
>veno
Adrian Gray
Which gives more money and and more magic gems...
Adrian Allen
>It actually worked
Holy shit you fucking dotards are so dumb.
Evan Wood
the name is reference to Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver series
Andrew Baker
So when Pink said he could recruit kthonian reanimators and trolls he wasnt lying.
Alexander Cooper

Whats he thinking right now?

Pelagia can further generate pearls from water gems...

>I don't know why you don't think nazca and asphodel won't work It's not that I think they don't work. Both are good nations, and removing asphodel's popkill will help them a lot.
It's that I don't see an obvious synergy between them, so I'm not sure what they're planning to do for their pretender.
>both enjoy a double bless That's news to me, I've never heard of Asphodel taking more than W9.
F9 and D9 seem to be more in favor for nazca, and neither is used on centaurs.
>As for Ashdod abysia I see a pretty simple N9E4 scales build that will work for both That sounds reasonable for Ashdod, but I don't see Abysia getting much out of it.
I can't think of a better alternative, but if they were just going to take a bless for ashdod and scales, why pick Abysia?
Pythium, T'ien Ch'i, and C'tis were all available, stronger than Abysia (in my opinion), and get similar benefits out of a N9E4 bless.
Dominic Ross
OwO what's this??
Parker Gomez
>hinnom massing dawn guards >not a single chariot
is this army supposed to be for fomoria? you'd better not be coming to monkey isalnd without your chariots
Ian Murphy
>this is what animeposters actually think
Josiah Garcia
pythium and T'ien Ch'i I agree, but c'tis nah but c'tis loses out on it's special dominino bonuses as a disciple and hurts their teammate if it's a pretender, As for F9D9 I say F9 is a shit bless on nazca from personal experience, they really do like W9. D9 only really works if they go for mass supuyas but if they do do mass supuyas that's just another arguement for dual bless which will turn BCs into early game monsters too
Awe is better against chariots than the great-morale dawn guards
Jeremiah Thomas
its 13 morale and summod pillarmen have awe 2 plus blessing
at least a lucky cart can squash a few
Jonathan Garcia
>at least a lucky cart can squash a few They have to make a morale check to trample my dude. Awe is one of the better counters to most tramplers.
Sebastian Bennett
The team with Sceleria would have been better off picking Ys than summod Ermor.
Not that Ys would be a good option, but any choice (sans Oceania) was better than Ermor. Maybe even Oceania.
Kevin Kelly
Oceania would still have been a better nation. It would have been a worse PICK, given that there's the R'lyeh/Pelagia team, but the nation itself would've been better
Blake Scott
Cheeky cunt
John Richardson
okay if you insist then that's the plan
is this even hinnom?
Jackson Bennett
He didn't use the penis. That was my modification to prevent a crash =)
Michael Long
I'm not, no. Hinnom posts under his own name. I'm just pointing out that chariots are actually very bad against your sacreds and that dawnguards are better as far as melee goes.
Robert Mitchell
So you're expecting D9W9 from Asphodel/Nazca?
>pythium and T'ien Ch'i I agree, but c'tis nah Well, regardless, the point is that their choice would be suboptimal if they were just planning to take N9E4.
So either they messed up or I'm missing something.
Nolan Evans
The fuck? No. D9 is a shit bless and neither of them need the high D casting.
Landon Miller
Especially given the fact that Supaya already have magic weapons. I can definitely see a W9 being taken though.
Oliver Edwards
not D9, more for an argument that a double bless it not a nogo because of how good BCs are
Tyler Cruz
Given its Carlix I''m expecting a W9B9 desu.
Jose Bell
b9 supayayayaya are annoying af
Jason Sullivan

Actually, illwinter's terrain recruitment changes are responsible.
Dominic Taylor
he also gave supaya mr hard negates weapons by accident.
Hunter Davis
Technically, I gave them mr negates weapons, and then a later change made that no longer work.
