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.

"DontStaleDesuSenpai" Admin can we update the game to Summod 0.74?
-Ulm
Justin Martinez
not admin but I would prefer to not
Brody Barnes
>tfw your insane scout attacks a province that was undefended I'm s-sorry R'lyeh, it was all his fault. I'm moving him back and will not be allowed any dessert as punishment.
Dylan Sullivan
Why? I'm pretty new to the game but I see most people use the mod so I had to install it. Although I don't keep up with the changelog.
Brayden Cruz
>he doesn't like bugfixes
Jack Clark
Maybe he's worried about another major bug?
Summod 0.72 is bug-free (as far as I know), summod 0.74 is new.

Carter Diaz
i done did it
Jose Allen
So the latest version apparently improve some wish effects, does anyone know the details? Actually, is there an up-to-date list of available wishes and their precise effects somewhere?
Justin Allen
give me a few minutes and I'll join

Playing N2B9 Fort3Mag3 Jotunheim for the first time and spamming sacred summoning and crossbreeding is a lot of fun.
Ian Morris
Crossbreeding is ocassionally useful as jotunheim since you can deploy some fairly cancerous strats that involve filling the battlefield with skeletons (powered by skratti batteries), then casting darkness/foul vapors/grip of winter/quagmire/howl and all that fun stuff, which will likely kill everything on the battlefield that isn't your mage line. No need to waste money on actual troops, in that case, unless you're facing fliers.
Zachary Reed
what is the best nation for dedication to crossbreeding?
Elijah Davis
Abysia with summod that gave 100 crossbreeds instead of 10.
Luke Murphy
Eh, in vanilla probably Jotunheim since it happens to have a lot of N/B mages lying around and a capacity for a decent blood economy. There's better things to spend blood slaves on than crossbreeding, though, unless you really need lots of shitty chaff immediately.
Cameron Bell
okay sent
Jace Bennett
yeah I know it's not optimal; but I'm having fun
Cameron Bennett
DontStaleDesuSenpai started! Here's the pretenders
Dylan Gray
I bet you 100$ that Malakal joined it just to kick some newbies and brag about it.

exactly right

Carter Perez
>forgot Oceania gets +1 order anywhere that's not coast
well guess they call it a noob game for a reason
Hunter Barnes
Forgot to tell the scout how to act in battle lyl
Mason Butler
oi: order or turmoil for ea pangea'
Brandon Roberts
turmoil or neutral; never order
Grayson Foster
whats a fun strat for a person who is not exactly new to this game but not a genius either?
William Martinez
maenad spawns on panii vary greatly based on turmoil and I think province population is also a factor at neutral order you're gonna get 1-4 maenads a turn per pan at positive order you're probably not gonna get any at 3 turmoil I usually get about 13 and have gotten 20 in the past
unrest doesn't contribute to this but I do notice I get more in high pop provinces than low
maenads are terrible fighters but have excellent morale compared to the majority (and possibly all) non-undead chaff and really only flee at the 75% of units dead mark in battles
Ryder Russell
see Jotun blood is good fun
Jaxon Ward
let me see that freak sempai
Nolan Powell
there's probably a much better setup to use but this was mine
put a decent amount of money into labs in forest provinces for vaetti hag researchers; they're cheap enough that their pathetic research count isnt an issue and it's 500 gold + 40 per to recruit them
also do lots of death and nature searching; the unique conjuration sacreds are spammable enough to make good use of the B9 bless
Anthony Sanchez
>no G3 with a blood setup
Gabriel Lee
Recommend order over turmoil. With foreign recruit out of all your forests, your labrats being rather expensive, and your panii being not sacred you can reliably use every piece of gold a turn on something.
You will quickly reach a point where the amount of maenads you have is just absurd and only useful as siege trash, and that 30% gold swing from O3 to T3 is a huge hit, even with your bomb expansion.
Josiah Gomez
ran out of points Fortune 3 Magic 3 Dormant is important to a crossbreeder
it was tempting to take imprisoned for it but it's 24 less crossbreeding turns
Ian Rivera
Ok I guess by popular demand we'll use summod.
Now about the map...this has been put forward. Thing is, if anyone intends to be a water nation they're clearly fucked. I do want something more than the rather bland RNG maps though for an RP game. Thoughts?
Nathan Stewart
G3 is absolutely important to a blood nation to substain your blood hunting
Jaxson Ortiz
What about Magic Enhanced? I think it'd add a lot to the experience.
I do like the map, but that's probably because I was the one who recommended it. I'm fine with any nice-looking map, bonus points if it has cave networks.
Xavier Diaz
>clustered terrain It's shit.
Benjamin Bell
>What about Magic Enhanced? I think it'd add a lot to the experience. It looks really unbalanced and apparently historically interacts very poorly with summod leading to hilarity, judging by some previous posts I've gone through. It's not like the game doesn't have an assload of spells already.
Open to other suggestions.
Isaac Reed
Oh and it will be an EA game with 10-15 players judging by the polls.
Camden Robinson
what are current active communities aside /domg/?
Jeremiah Wright
Here, I'll tell you. Come closer... NONE! HAHAHAHAHA!
Liam Edwards
please no summod
Robert Phillips
name a single argument against sum1mod outside "I just dont' like mods"
Jose Johnson
I do like mods, I just dont like summod Not that there is anything wrong with it, I just dont agree with the changes
Adam Lopez
please yes summod
Angel Carter
Then you're a fool.
Thomas Butler
bugs
Adam Miller
Please argue this out for my benefit.
Levi Young
bugs can be hotfixed by llama ingame, there are also stable versions available not an argument
Noah Barnes
I went with neutral. I haven't played pangea so i'm playing safe.
did you make it? I like it.
Jace Butler
>bugs can be hotfixed by llama ingame I don't like the sound of this.
>did you make it? I like it. No, someone posted it here as a recommendation. I have 0 artistic skills.
Aaron Gutierrez
I'd rather have Magic Enhanced over Summod.
Dylan Walker
if you are worried about bugs use version .72 which is a stable version with no bugs
Adam Cox
And I'd rather have vanilla. Unfortunately I'm running this as a tyranny by majority so neither of us are probably going to get what we want.
Owen Miller
Is .72 an older version then?
Mason Parker
no one says you have to use sum1mod or ME or this map, you the host have absolute power, you just have to accept some players will or won't join based on what you decide, you're better off just picking what you want and attracting the apporiate players as it seems your mind was made up before any arguements were actually made
Camden Miller
I've personally never experienced much imbalance with Magic Enhanced. But hey, you're the one running it.
Unless we're autistic enough to play a modded and unmodded RP game.
Owen Peterson
>no one says you have to use sum1mod or ME or this map, you the host have absolute power, And I choose to do it by popular accord. I might just grumble a bit first.
Connor Martinez
.72 is the previous version. .73 came out a few days ago and .74 came out a couple days ago that was a bug fix.
It's supposed to be a spell that lets you get multiple units of FIsh amulets, the unit exists just to achieve that end. Do you actually get the amulets?
I never cast a spell that turn. It was a random event
Carter Sanders
Thoughts on how to equip and script a Onyx Oracle Hero(w1/e3/h3 MA Agartha Hero with n9 bless) to fight and either kill/cripple low equipment Harbinger Angels that are raiding into my dominion? I'm concerned with the Angel's 20 Invulnerability will block out most of the Oracle's damage letting the angel retreat before it can be killed.
My initial idea is to use vineshield+fire brand to entangle and aoe swing at it with 5~ Mercuries swinging to peck damage and chew down defence skill. With this set up I'm worried that the angel wouldn't be killed(lots of small damage/nothing that lands a large damaging hit within 1 round) and have the chance to fly off to fight another day when reduced to low hp.
Ethan Russell
I think I saw what happened, the unit that exists to give the items is in the pool of random monster attacks for some reason. are you able to do your test game turn np with no crash if you don't open the battle?
Carter Roberts
it only crashes when the game has to load the monster, otherwise the turn can be made normally
Isaiah Torres
Why are you using imgur instead of attaching images to your posts?
You should probably go ahead and attach a sprite to Limne now so this doesn't happen as often.
Connor Peterson
it should be fine to ignore for now then, I'll let sum1won know when he gets online if he doesn't already know, it's safe to ignore this battle though
Aaron Kelly
because I am lazy, my screenshot program makes it easier for me, I just click 3 buttons and voilá, sorry for the hassle tho, maybe someday 4chin will embed imgur?
It was a SP test, I posted this issue because I am not familiar with github, if it does happen in the actual game, I will report again but I will do my turn normally, unless you decide we will get a bugfix and reroll
Alexander Gonzalez
>maybe someday 4chin will embed imgur? dumb redditposter
Zachary Hill
>maybe someday 4chin will embed imgur? Surely you mean, maybe someday your screenshot program will allow custom image upload hooks, so you can post directly using the Veeky Forums API?
Nathan Sanchez
You can just put any magic weapon on the onyx oracle and it'll ignore the invulnerability. Harbingers are magic beings, so you can put an elf bane on the oracle and that gets you a save or die MR check, or a sword of swiftness for more attacks (I'm assuming you're casting quicken self on the oracle so you'll probably have a decent chance of getting through the harbingers defense depending on what items it has). If you just want to cripple it, eyecatchers are good since there's no MR save attached to the eye loss effect.
Nicholas Brown
I haven't seen anyone post the pretenders for StandardEA, so I'm going to do it.
Joseph Adams
can someone please point me to resources about interactions between undying and second shapes?
