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).
Juan Foster
What'd Xib do?
Jayden Stewart
turn one dragon
Oliver Richardson
How does that orb lightning have that long range?
Matthew Ward
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
Leo Bell
Huh. Cruxador is the dude who uploaded Tankard Basher to youtube. Small world.
John Murphy
i even asked him politely not to kill me
Mason Long
honestly he isdoing the right thing, there is always a year 1 gangbang planned to kill bats without fail every time
Jacob Martinez
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.
Camden Cook
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?
Ethan Miller
>TNN Better be running a doublebless then, because you can pretty your pretty elven panties that Fomoria's got an awake.
Evan Bennett
Xth for please look at me.
Gabriel Cooper
I ain't trying to hate and the nation is already pretty different from the epic, but come on.
Hudson Garcia
Only because it needed to be on YouTube to qualify for the Veeky Forums footy anthem.
Colton Baker
>gilgamesh and enkidu fused together to become the proxy of divine power The epic just went full anime.
Gabriel Sullivan
I have no idea what it means, but i'm apparently highly neurotypical
Caleb Martinez
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
Leo Foster
so Oceania you still need my water gems? that's some boost you got there
Jaxson Gonzalez
It's just a nod. What's the problem?
Adam Thompson
>Marignon is an aspie hue
The PDF explains it better.
Robert Evans
Voice of Tiament came online
also Ulm relax, we're good
Aiden Watson
"Neurotypical" means "normal person". It means your brain isn't defective. Ree, etc.
Elijah James
Color me impressed Abysia though why ulm didn't cast rain I have no clue
Gavin Jackson
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.
Nathan Ortiz
>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.
Cooper Hughes
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.
Brandon Sullivan
>all those troops >only 3 mages
Blake Taylor
Do fire/death bless count as magic weapons vs Invulnerability?
Jose Roberts
They each give separate damage rolls. The new damage is magic, but the weapon damage rolls themselves are not.
Jason Miller
Yes, and they pop fog warriors too.
Also, what said.
Logan Edwards
So Invulnerability is still a useful buff when facing sacreds, but not an "I win" button. Thanks.
Nathaniel Johnson
It's just natural prot, dude. Marble Warriors isn't an I-win button either.
Isaiah Butler
>invulnerability >I win button Are you new? Because that's a totally misguided opinion.

git gud
Angel Hernandez
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.
Joshua Gomez
You can't rename a prophet though.
Should at least read the Gilgamesh epic if you really plan to RP, you know.
Gabriel Martin
>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
Cameron Gomez
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.
Carson Gonzalez
did you literally not read? he said He realized Invulnerability WASN'T an i win button
Logan Richardson
You sure are hyping yourself up for a good gang bang
Nathan Morris
Inulnerability is close to useless when facing elite sacreds either way, friendo.
Jack Price
I agree, person who sent that message. Capital placement in this map is retarded.
Carter Anderson
Fair point. I'll start on it in the morning.
Levi Miller
>waaah I didn't take an awake!
Ryan Kelly
Reminder if your nation was eliminated you still need to submit your turn one last time, Same goes for AIing. That means you sauromatia
Asher Rodriguez
It has nothing to do with awakes.
Henry Rogers
what does it have to do with then
Owen Cruz
That's confidential for diplomatic reasons.
Mason Foster
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.
Isaiah King
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.
Brody Clark
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.
Thomas Perry
I guess you can assume that whoever was complaining was one of those first 5 nations, then.
Aaron Watson
How's StandardEA going for everyone?
Aiden James
You haven't seen the last of me.
Anthony Jackson
What's the hag meme from? Yukari is a timeless maiden
Brody Lewis
1700 years old non-virgin young maiden.
Hudson Russell
Kiss my memelith desu
Aaron Jenkins
>non-virgin Yukari is pure! And surely capable of manipulating that boundary even if she did break it.
Jaxon Myers
yukari is worst hag desu
Asher Sanders
>Plz am not toppest nation no bully TIME FOR BULLY
Thomas Howard
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.
Josiah Reed
So do I have superpowers?
Sebastian Flores
No. You have a tendency to answer questions with ALL THE TIME/NEVER, when a better answer would be "sometimes."
Daniel Myers
>Yukari
Ian Fisher
>Yukari being helpful and Reimu being a jerk
John Gonzalez
>Stale filled games >Stale sex marriage >Even the porn is about stale sex
Maybe I really should try a real game of pretenders

Any idea who played these nations in AntiquisTerra? machaka, ctis, ur, marveni, tnn, yomi, kailasa caelum, lanka, xibalba, mictlan
Ayden Howard
how do I play mid age weebs
Sebastian Thompson
I know three of those.
What do you want the names for?
Gavin Moore
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.

Jonathan Mitchell
Which infantry should tien chi use as chaff?
Luke Miller
?summod? Which age? Who are they fighting?
Lincoln Lopez
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?
Adam Bell
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?
Jackson Anderson
I think stuff like twiceborn and transformation occasionally heals afflictions but I'd double check before trying it.
Dylan Sullivan
dickwaving contest time
which is the best name/title combo in AuRPG
Luke Ross
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.
Adrian Morgan
>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
Brody Green
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.
Colton Perry
Preach it brother!

Asher Baker
Wait what?
Jason Adams
...
Jaxson Rodriguez
Well that explains why the rats ran from our final showdown instead of murdering me.
Luis Sanders
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.
