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.

Yo Oceania I'm taking the province to the east of Marverni's Cap to even up my borders; no designs on the forest north-west of it
Joseph Lewis
Good evening gentlemen, due to the extinction of the Marverni people Oceania has been forced to act. the following lands are Designated Protected Conservation Preservers for Boar Folk (DPCPfBF) for the following provinces: Stream of Steel (40), Skin route (50), Wood of memory (49), Shard woods (33), and Tame Forest (29).
these provinces will be run by our top Capricorn officials to assure the culture and legacy of the boars are not exterminated in these trying times. Have a good day.
on another note does abysia have screen shots of how his battle went with ulm?
David Russell
There was no decisive battle yet. He thinks I will commit to fighting his force on his capital, which I may do. Or I may just conquer all of his provinces and preach. The sensible thing to do would be to cede the provinces I ask for and to peace out. I hereby declare that I do not wish to exterminate, I find the lava people rather... funny and amusing. Also my new Hydromancers can only spell doom for them.
Henry Hernandez
Thank fuck, an OP with a related image

Redo the turn ya dip and then resend it. Do it for us

I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU ABOUT BATS IT MIGHT STILL BE A NEWBIE GAME
BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
Oliver Parker
How do you boost from D3 to D5 without already having D5 or rings of wizardry/sorcery?
Ryder Baker
If it's a living mage, you can try casting twiceborn and dying. Empowering can always be considered, especially if you're REALLY going for dem tarts.
Asher Clark
Also, there's black book of secrets.
Liam Collins
>modest bat expansion
Also, is that summod?
Jose Evans
no mods
game creator was also a newbie
Ian Anderson
Oh, then you're fucked. Vanilla bats require a global coalition to beat
Michael Hughes
skull staff + empower
Jack Ross
Oh, then bats have probably already won unless they get gangbanged by all nations at once.
Remember what Chimori did, then remember that Xibalba is much, much, much stronger as a nation.
Cooper Bailey
"I TOLD YOU ABOUT BATS" I have literally been saying exactly that since like... turn 8? To every player And I'm pretty sure one of them informed on me to Xibalba.
"Newbie Game"
Nathaniel Hughes
Bats can lose to a lot of things but generally those things are things new players are bad at doing, like formations and early battlemagic. There's also a gap between expansion and massed earthquaking ozelotls where they are significantly more vulnerable.
Also amusingly they lose to elves in a straight fight, but can raid better than elves to make up for it.
Evan Adams
The anime OPs were an innovative strategy to draw in the weebs.
In this particular game, we'll all be super serious faggots that take our nations very seriously. No joke pretender names. Any gimmicks must be for the purposes of roleplaying. Think about your nation. Think about your Pretender. Think of how it came to be a pretender, why, and what its nation thinks of it. Speak IC whenever possible (whether that be as your pretender him/her/itself/, the prophet, a general, some emissary of your nation, what have you). Basicaly play make believe like a young autistic child.
10-15 players. EA, Summod and Worth Heroes required. Throne victory
Anyone has any criticisms of the map or settings now's the time. no bully I'm new at this
Robert Gomez
Sum1, the Furies spell is pretty good in ME since it has a chance of muting/feebleminding blood hunters.
Logan Miller
>super serious faggots that take our nations very seriously. No joke pretender names. Wow, what a good idea to make this an anonymous game then.
Parker Perez
I'm torn on the map. I genuinely like Hexawyr and think that it's one of the best balanced maps of its size, while still being quite pretty. On the other hand, it also has hexes and such on the map, which seems out of place for a roleplay game.
Michael Morgan
>Game will start as soon as all pretenders are in. Please turn this off so that I can claim my nation while still working on my pretender's lore. Otherwise you'll end up with like 'placeholder awake monolith' and no one wants that
Austin Miller
idea: publish it on the steam group
Elijah Young
pls dont make me open steam
John Rodriguez
RPers are shy and without Anonymity how will Ermor and C'Tis do their erping?
I will.
What would that do?
Jason Turner
...how do I turn it off? I don't see the option.
Nicholas Jenkins
I guess I should release newest summod soon rather than piling more stuff on.
Nevermind, found it. Thought it was under 'modify game settings" but it's not.
Colton Wilson
I would join, but two PBEMs already feel like a burden to me.
Asher Green
Add ME
Thomas Morgan
>What would that do?
beyond getting more members, people announcing their nations would ensure trolls can be removed.
Hunter Mitchell
I like that it has the bloodhunters separate from the capricorns
That said, hold off on the storm demon flying Uw changes, because my pretender atm is going to be an ascendant storm demon.
Jason Stewart
Your scribes drew hexes on the map
Magic enhanced? People voted against it.
Hudson Thomas
I'm not gonna play but can you keep us updated with diplo-talk, pretender names and what is going on. Would be appreciated.
Connor Jones
Sorry; my god doesn't post on mongolian basketweaving RSS feeds.
Easton Diaz
I don't recognize trolls by sight because I do not steam group, and I don't trust random Veeky Forums folks posting on steam to inform me of this correctly. The surest insurance against trolls is to not be an uptight faggot that provides easy laughs.
Josiah Hernandez
Arcoscephalians shitpost in the Assembly all the time so will do: I don't see any reason why diplomacy can't happen here too.
Benjamin Gonzalez
no I mean ensuring people who post meme pretender can be removed and not let back in.
nothing stops a troll from rejoining when you are fully user
Daniel Stewart
Thanks m8
Parker Powell
There's a 96% chance that you'll regret this.
Michael Gutierrez
>An unexpected event has occurred at Arcoscephale >Suddenly the hero Diogenes of Sinope appeared at our gates, took a dump, and left
Jose Murphy
Dom4 Diogenes never did the BEHOLD A MAN bit though because any poor hypothesis that defines Caelum as sub-human is good enough.
Ryder Brown
I don' have a border with the bats. Maybe you could ask Vanheim to take his bless stack over there instead of fucking with me.
Landon Carter
This begs the question if EA pangea was worried about bats all game why didn't he patrol his lands for them?
Robert Lopez
Because that would be racist
Isaiah Taylor
"Newbie Game"
Angel Rogers
But it would be perfect for this sort of game, even if it is OP af.
Logan Green
Sorry. The demos has spoken.
Camden Green
Yeah. You think his harpies are just gonna racially profile like that?
Jacob Lee
Can somebody upload the PDF or txt ME changelog? I can't open a rar on mobile.

Hey there How do you expect us to RP? Only in-game messages and actions? Or when we post it here or someplace else too?
What do you envision it to roll out?
Joshua Hill
Whichever/both you feel like unless anyone objects?
Liam Wilson
Is it possible to enlarge giants, such as Niefels, or similar?
Bentley Taylor
Yeah, in-game and on this thread.
Hunter Rodriguez
>someone took mictlan before me in autisticRPG welp i'm in 10 games already anyway
Samuel Perry
what if I join as Therodos and we ERP a gangbang?
Juan Scott
Joined as Niefel.
Jack Williams
I believe the enlarge spell only takes you up to size 4
Eli James
Ozelotls need to be massed to function ideally. They get preferentially targeted by mages so if there's a only a few they can be sniped with the right script. Also you want more than a few if you have b9, so the enemy mages have more chance of using big aoes, not killing an ozelotl, and dying due to the cumulative BV.
Regardless, it's not as much of a meme as people think, but domg's chronic inability to do anything but gang up on the wrong targets and lack of skill streaming mean they are often stronger than they should be.
Ryder Wood
>OP >ME
Like what. There were some problems with people layering ME and Summod changes to certain units (pretty much only tarrasques), but what else about it is op?
Hunter Rodriguez
That's the amulet. The spell does not have that limit.
Dylan Phillips
Anybody know how to get the pbem manager to work?
Asher Jones
Whats a pbem manager?
Oliver Gutierrez
Just use your email, you triple nigger
Mason Wright
>he didn't hire a manager to receive and send his turns Get a load of this guy
Actually, anybody know how to put your saved games folder into dropbox? That'd work instead.
Daniel Perry
AI the fucker right now.
Landon Phillips
Turn 1 AI? I think you'd be better unstarting and kicking, but I guess it doesn't matter with so many players
Cameron Martinez
With that many players it's best to resign yourself to the full turn time transpiring every single turn.
Asher Ortiz
Give him his four hours. Hardly a difference when you're on 48 hour turns. Sucks that he took my first pick and then staled turn one though.
David Perry
Trying to get into this game, went through the tutorial and played a few PBEMs but still feel a bit overwhelmed. Are there guides anywhere for scripting units or what I should be shooting for on basic army compositions? I still don't really feel like I have a grasp on what I should be doing as far as those things are concerned.
Joshua Campbell
Just be yourself man.
Oliver Diaz
...
Jaxson Martin
It depends
Jaxson White
What nation/s do you like to play?
William Rodriguez
Everyone's smiling too much for that to be dominions 4.
Noah Thompson
How soon are we gonna start? I'm interested but I don't really have time this week and maybe not next week.
Brayden Reyes
When the game's full and people are ready.
Asher Baker
What's the goal of the game? Is it still a "win at all costs" game, or is it a "play for fun and don't end the game prematurely" game?
Also I feel like for an RP game, the map should be Valanis.
Luis Richardson
We're RPing pretender Gods so I figure it's still playing to win and kill everyone but maybe less formal pressure to min/max rather than use fun/gimmick/thematic stuff.
>Also I feel like for an RP game, the map should be Valanis. I considered that but wasn't sure there was enough water. Had a couple people say they wanted water nations already. desu there aren't very many great RP game maps that aren't fuckhuge or too small.
Aiden Ramirez
Yeah but I won't be ready for a while and don't want to hold folks up.
Literally nothing wrong with going fuckhuge for a RP game.
Isaac Adams
>Yeah but I won't be ready for a while and don't want to hold folks up. Just wait a bit and see how fast it fills up then I guess? I don't want to hold it up for two week for one person but if it's going to take awhile anyway...
>Literally nothing wrong with going fuckhuge for a RP game. I suppose that's true but still, it's a pretty big gap. It's basically something this size or 40 province per player mapgasms
Brody Jenkins
>40 province per player mapgasms desu I love this kind of thing.
I also have an appropriate map I've been working on but it won't be ready in time or even really nearly so at the rate it's been going.
Jaxson Johnson
desu I'm not totally happy with this map choice anyway so if people have better ideas and most players agree on it I'd be happy to change.
