/domg/ - Dominions General

Retro Edition
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, this should have been the Mictlan/Xibalba clusterfuck edition.

Cause its happening again in Fourth Turning. Can't those two just get a stable relationship (dive bats, Mictlan will be domkilled soon).

What'd Xib do?

turn one dragon

How does that orb lightning have that long range?

Maverni, I don't know how the hell you managed to recruit that many troops.

but pretender or not, your gauls ain't got shit on the sidhe.

so anything other than an awake pretender is suicide in fourthturning?

fug

Huh. Cruxador is the dude who uploaded Tankard Basher to youtube. Small world.

i even asked him politely not to kill me

honestly he isdoing the right thing, there is always a year 1 gangbang planned to kill bats without fail every time

No, the following nations can get away without an awake, and likely wouldn't even want one:
TNN
Niefelheim
Pangaea
Vanheim
TC
ALL UW Nations
Abysia
Helheim

For the other nations not taking an awake basically comes down to hoping no one looks in your direction for the first 12 turns or so.

Why TNN? I can see most of the others (even if some UW nations are either mediocre or die to the better ones), but... TNN?

>TNN
Better be running a doublebless then, because you can pretty your pretty elven panties that Fomoria's got an awake.

Xth for please look at me.

I ain't trying to hate and the nation is already pretty different from the epic, but come on.

Only because it needed to be on YouTube to qualify for the Veeky Forums footy anthem.

>gilgamesh and enkidu fused together to become the proxy of divine power
The epic just went full anime.

I have no idea what it means, but i'm apparently highly neurotypical

oh no, i understand fully why he's doing this, having someone at his back when everyone's barging down his front is a bad idea if he can avoid it

it's just that he didn't even respond to my letter

so Oceania you still need my water gems? that's some boost you got there

It's just a nod. What's the problem?

>Marignon is an aspie
hue

The PDF explains it better.

Voice of Tiament came online

also Ulm relax, we're good

"Neurotypical" means "normal person". It means your brain isn't defective. Ree, etc.

Color me impressed Abysia though why ulm didn't cast rain I have no clue

UW nations are on the list because they have FAR more provinces between them. Nearly 20, instead of barely 13 (which means UW nations get OFF the land reeeeeeeee)

TNN is on the list since ime N9E4 sacreds had little issue surviving long enough to kill the awake.

>A low score is related to Dyslexia and Dyscalculia, but also to other diagnoses like ADD/ADHD.
Your group score: 7.1 of 10 (above average).


huh. that is fairly accurate. I tend to really screw up my talking and even my hand writing.

Actually, the pdf's individual trait scores seem to represent my quirks in a fairly accurate way. I always suspected I had one of the dys* diagnoses.

remember that in these studies either extreme is bad.

Oh and if Mictlan is here I'd like to discuss trade either in the thread or on steam; it's like 4 turns to set up a deal using in game chat

What gems are you after man? I can trade every kind other than Nature in some quantity; Blood Slaves I dont have because hunting has been inconvenient up until now.

Also super interested in trading for Dwarven Hammers if anyone has them.

>all those troops
>only 3 mages

Do fire/death bless count as magic weapons vs Invulnerability?

They each give separate damage rolls. The new damage is magic, but the weapon damage rolls themselves are not.

Yes, and they pop fog warriors too.

Also, what said.

So Invulnerability is still a useful buff when facing sacreds, but not an "I win" button.
Thanks.

It's just natural prot, dude. Marble Warriors isn't an I-win button either.

>invulnerability
>I win button
Are you new? Because that's a totally misguided opinion.

>1/3rd of all Hall of Fame Heroes are Jotuns
>1/2 of all the living ones
>all of the heroes with greater than 20 kills are Jotun
>#1 hero is Jotun
>top 4 are Jotun if you exclude the dead
>no thugging is involved in this
>yet
Jotun #1

>Diversity in Nifelheim

>bragging about beating up newbs as a non-newb.

git gud

Look, there isn't as much data available on ancient Sumer as I'd like. 90% of all I know comes from Snow Crash, and the rest comes from an episode of American Dad. If you have a better name, I'll gladly use that.

You can't rename a prophet though.

Should at least read the Gilgamesh epic if you really plan to RP, you know.

>AI Games

>implying Niefel isn't cooker cutter difficulty
>implying that isn't why I picked it
>implying I'm not a scrub if I play anything other than the eziest of ez factions

You should be reading the Epic of Gilgamesh regardless, because it's one of the founding stories of civilization.

>>AI Games
Real MP game, actually. I hear Malakal lost in that one.

did you literally not read? he said He realized Invulnerability WASN'T an i win button

You sure are hyping yourself up for a good gang bang

Inulnerability is close to useless when facing elite sacreds either way, friendo.

I agree, person who sent that message. Capital placement in this map is retarded.

Fair point. I'll start on it in the morning.

>waaah I didn't take an awake!

Reminder if your nation was eliminated you still need to submit your turn one last time, Same goes for AIing. That means you sauromatia

It has nothing to do with awakes.

what does it have to do with then

That's confidential for diplomatic reasons.

It's literally only retarded in 4 cases: Mictlan/Xibalba . . . I'm honestly happy to see those 2 nations suffer desu.
Therados' close location, which was caused by them being added as a nation while the map was still in progress.
R'lyeh/Atlantis - the unfortunate implication that R'lyeh only really borders Atlantis UW, and will be coming for them.
Fomoria's sailing. Vanheim isn't on the coast for a reason, Berytos can't sail to anywhere too dangerous, but Fomoria can reach I think 2 or 3 capitals from their own.

Eh, nah.
Ulm and Caelum represent the #1 and #2 nations and Caelum has set Ulm against him by calling for people to jump to action (and then getting a lack of response); even if it's not a war yet so there's very much a cold war vibe where if either is the aggressor against another major nation the other will likely jump in against them

I am sitting probably in seat #3 or #4 with the rest of my 3-6 peers (and sometimes Abysia too!) having to focus on their borders with Ulm/Caelum as long as I remain Neutral.

Now is the perfect time for nationalist shit talking.

Ulm and Caelum represent the #1 and #2 nations and Caelum has set Ulm against him by calling for people to jump to action (and then getting a lack of response)

Caelum, a lesson. Don't do this. People will literally never respond. Just eat the smallest weakest dude next to you.

I guess you can assume that whoever was complaining was one of those first 5 nations, then.

How's StandardEA going for everyone?

You haven't seen the last of me.

What's the hag meme from? Yukari is a timeless maiden

1700 years old non-virgin young maiden.

Kiss my memelith desu

>non-virgin
Yukari is pure! And surely capable of manipulating that boundary even if she did break it.

yukari is worst hag desu

>Plz am not toppest nation no bully
TIME FOR BULLY

Literally saved by the bell as my dominion withered away. Otherwise I would've unleashed an unholy retribution on you. My abysmal luck with expansion, sitesearching and earth randoms kept me from making anything that could really put a dent in that thing, though.

You really got the drop on me with those temperature scale shenanigans, I have to admit.

Yukari has known men.

So do I have superpowers?

No. You have a tendency to answer questions with ALL THE TIME/NEVER, when a better answer would be "sometimes."

>Yukari

>Yukari being helpful and Reimu being a jerk

>Stale filled games
>Stale sex marriage
>Even the porn is about stale sex

Maybe I really should try a real game of pretenders

I'm glad I believed in you agartha

>inb4 its an ai

considering it still says waiting for turn file no he didn't

ded

Any idea who played these nations in AntiquisTerra?
machaka, ctis, ur, marveni, tnn, yomi, kailasa
caelum, lanka, xibalba, mictlan

how do I play mid age weebs

I know three of those.

What do you want the names for?

Just added antiquis to spreadsheet and realized I didn't know half the people who were in it, even though some were active most of the game.

Yes, malgrib, but nobody loves you. Not even your disciple.

malgrib isn't in the game anymore man
I subbed for him
it was a thing

Which infantry should tien chi use as chaff?

?summod? Which age? Who are they fighting?

No summod. I'm just tooling around in early age, mostly thinking in terms of expansion and fighting humans, I guess. I guess glaives are for giants?

What methods are there to heal afflictions on non-undead units?

There's Blood Feast, Healer units, Gift of Health, and the Chalice. Am I missing any?

I think stuff like twiceborn and transformation occasionally heals afflictions but I'd double check before trying it.

dickwaving contest time

which is the best name/title combo in AuRPG

Abysia and mictlan both fit pretty well. I also like atlantis, agartha and Ur. A lot of the others have a random name that messes up the flow a little.

>Drowned king, shining boat
kek
>Yomi, god of beggars
Seems right
>Fecund Breed-Bull
Seems, uh, cultural there
>Jormungandr, Prince of the Crafts
Ooh, arts and crafts snek!
>Master of Unexpected Pleasure and Sorrow
Always my favorite title
>God with three names, God of Many Names
Seems right

You aint never getting past me rats. I have so many skeletons its causing the game to lag when I try to organize them. Doesnt matter how strong your abominations are if you cant fight me.

Preach it brother!

>ywn make Settra into your fuccboi
I didn't know it'd hurt so bad.

>He who Strangles
fuck yes that is exactly what I wanted

...

Wait what?

...

Well that explains why the rats ran from our final showdown instead of murdering me.

Well... I scripted him to cast it... at least I thought I had. Although I still didn't look at the turn, not that it matters since that was a pretty marginal army anyway.
