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.

remember when that SJW cunt everyone was girl-fellating in IRC turned out to be cheating and got driven off
Leo Ramirez
You mean the one that got triggered on a regular basis and pretty much drove off any new players? Maybe it'll be worth to play with the Goons again.
Brayden Allen
No Nuclearmonkee, no Nuclearmonkee, you are Nuclearmonkee!
Jace Perez
Yeah that one. The one that got drunk and deleted games she was hosting presumably while looking at other players turns.
Problem is her fanclub are still core members of the community as far as I know so the potential is still there.
Caleb Johnson
Last I checked, half of the playerbase pretty much loathed her, but had no real power to kick her out. What happened?
Daniel Walker
she got caught cheating and it turned out she'd been doing it in every game she was in. Plus apparently she ended up even more psycho than usual for a bit. It's kind of weird though where they draw the line, she was already shitting up chat constantly, especially after her female representation in Dominions thread on desura didn't get universal support. (because literal goddesses aren't enough, half of my chaff has to have little spritely tits)
Jacob Powell
But there is tons of girls in dominions.
Chase Anderson
Dont you have to pay to use something awful or something?
Sebastian Williams
She was clearly mentally unstable. Glad she's gone though, unless she has come back under a different username of course. That's something I wouldn't put past these sort of people.
Joseph Hernandez
Yes, an account costs :10bux: , I got mine way back, playing Dominions 3. The community is mostly ok. Got some amusing threads at times.
Eli Phillips
What was her username?
Christian Perez
Man I would not be here if I had to pay for it. I'd probably be out doing something productive with my life or something crazy like that.
Josiah Martin
She was mentally ill and self medicating with booze, don't expect rationality. Only thing that seemed reasonable there was maybe more chicks for Sauromatia since they're based on the Amazon legends.
If she did it'd be pretty noticeable but I never went back to check. Finished up my games that I couldn't get subs for and got the fuck out when I realized how cancerous the community had become.
Yeah and I've never regretted spending 10bux more in my life.
She changed it a lot. Only one I remember was modpud. She played Arco in one of their LPs.

Kevin Smith
>That feel when there are communities worse than Veeky Forums
This is a strange yet unexpectedly pleasant feel.
Ryder Fisher
Veeky Forums split with SA for two reasons. One was Moot wanted to be able to post about his underage anime waifus without shame. The other was SA was getting too faggy even for him.
Asher Allen
How was she cheating and how did she get caught?
Jaxson Jones
Dom4 community is pretty chill in general. /domg/ might be retarded, but at least it's good-natured and retarded/
Lucas Gomez
Hosting games and checking other people turns with master-password.
Easton Adams
How'd she get caught?
Logan James
I only have experience with Goons from two communities, EVE Online and Neverwinter Nights.
EVE they seem like a chill bunch of people who are mostly trolly, though their leadership seems fairly shit.
In NWN, they were the special snowflake club, who'd come into RP servers as their own private groups and conspire against everyone else. Instead of actually roleplaying, it always became "goons vs pubbies", which was highly disruptive for actual roleplaying servers.
Nathan Morales
Didn't she also use her own mod, buffing the nations she was playing?
Parker Howard
What the other user said. Don't know how she got caught actually. Must have been pretty blatant for her to have actually gotten called on it though.
Goonfleet was the last bastion of golden age SA for a long time. Not sure what it's like now.
Sebastian Stewart
Yes. It was a pretty good mod besides that though desu from what I remember. There were some players in the goon community that knew a shitload about Dominions so could keep that in line to an extent.
Joseph Wood

>making us send the turn on new year What a monster. Why don't you give us one more week?
Robert Cruz
*teleports behind u* sigh..wrong, kiddo
*casts souls slay with 900 pen*
Here but not much time now. Anyone that's interested pipe up, maybe talk about settings, age, and mods among yourselves. I'm leaning towards vanilla withworthy heroes myself. No strong preference for age.
Also thinking that since it's a dumb autistic rp meme game a pretty map is probably better than a balanced one. So if anyone has any recommendations for map porn feel free.
Later tonight or tomorrow I'll try to be less a piece of shit and actually do shit on my own.
Charles Baker
Why is CoE4 so... basic? Might just be because I'm playing Dryad Queen, but aside from having some depth in magic, the game is really barebones. I'm essentially just ferrying freespawn around and watching fights. It's like the game is still in beta.
Josiah Barnes
ILLWINTER GAME DESIGN I'm confused by it too, they likely wanted something simpler than dominions to play with but they also stripped out everything that isn't acquiring resources, ferrying stuff around and using magic rituals.
Christopher Jackson
it's simple >make original game for turbo autists >lets make it casual >surprise surprise the game is so basic turbo artists won't play it but still obscure that normal autist won't touch it
have a anime picture too while we are at it
Eli Smith
There's so much stuff that's just not there. Even if they wanted to simplify things, I can't understand why they haven't included stuff like post-battle reports. I just don't get what the main draw here is supposed to be.
Caleb Rivera
They actually did, and they're enabled in MP by default. In SP you had to RUN THE GAME WITH -b command line command. There are also --autosave and --rename.
Jaxson Clark
>In SP you had to RUN THE GAME WITH -b command line command Illwinter quality game design.

Dear Arco,
Midgard is helping to remove spooks. Please do not get Malakaled into stopping them from helping to remove spooks.

Angel Jones
Is this some sort of CoE Pan/Ermor crossover?
Oliver Taylor

Jordan Perez
This is the apathy that lets Lemuria destroy the world
Ethan Rogers
I am but a humble shopkeep. I just want to develop items and ever more powerful artillery and sell my Battlespace Solutions to the highest bidder.
Nathan Mitchell
Yes, but with more rape.
Ethan Brooks
1300 Rapegoats and their Forest Friends against 400 Jewish Giants. Of course, since you barely have input at all in CoE, this isn't even exciting. Especially since I have so many units that none of my archers or mages will ever come in range of the enemy.
Evan Davis
It'll be better.
Eli White
Story events on, unironically Common events Everything else default EA? Vanilla with WH works for me. And Ragnarok Comes for the map
Landon Fisher
>Ragnarok Comes for the map please not this shit with bad starts again
Brody Lewis

Hunter Harris
Won't even deny it.
Cameron Reed
>thank you for playing summod
Christopher Wood
That's less than 50 gold per turn. What are you even bitching about.
Sebastian Long
it's a pretty big deal in the 1st couple turns of the game
Logan Edwards
It's the second turn. It's like -2500 - 4000 gold if you count the whole game.
Henry Perez
>Literally getting mad that people don't want to live in creepy elf town
Jordan Thompson
Just found some old folder: *opening the box:"
Nolan King
Kind of. Barely. I don't end that many turns with less than 50 gold left in my treasury. Some very specific expansion strategies might sometimes be delayed by a turn which sometimes results in one province less in total expansion. More than likely that small amount of gold will be eaten up by the pile of small but mounting inefficiencies that build up over the course of a game.
It sure it a bad event to get on turn one, sure. It's worse than nothing. But I don't know that it warrants 4 g's in fug is all.

Ragnarok's starts aren't the best. Maybe Valanis, or Glory of the Gods?
Also, I would highly recommend magic enhanced for muh immersion.

As Caelum, do I take an awake, or a rainbow for national summons?

Glorious. Dominions needs more drawfags, if only so I can have more variety when it comes to backgrounds.
Connor Hall
I'd assume the calculated autism required to enjoy dominions keeps away most artists.
So only a special kind, a rare breed of autistic artists will make their way here.
Tyler Perry
But some exists: the map artists
Matthew Baker
this looks like pymous map style drawing
Joshua Butler
>Dispel successful Phew. No need to thank me, world. Also did Ermor teleport his capital into space or something? Why is it so hard to find
Evan Harris
I fucking know right?
Carter Parker
I'd go with this man's suggestion. No real preference about age.
