/domg/ - Dominions General

Map should be just grid of square provinces without additional terrain types.

I want to join for the memes but I dont have the time or patience to play ermor.

Join as Poop Ermor.

It's not like everyone expects you to play seriously.

Don't script your skellingtons, play a full scales build, send empty turns, whatever all better for my win rate.

I don't think scripting every single pile of garbage chaff really matters.

user casts Twiceborn.

I'm playing full scales and no one can stop me!

So I have the least provinces, the least gem income, the least Dominion, Niefelheim is about to pass me in research, Ulm and Niefelheim have higher income and I'm tied with Ermor, Ulm and Niefel for forts. Can we stop the meme that I'm the biggest threat in the game?

How do I make my dominion cancerous to even other ermors?

turmoil + misfortune + drain

Drain will only help skellingtons because it will give them free MR.

q: arco has a noticeable lack of thug worthy troops. What do I do to fix this? Summons?

What should I summon to give arco thugs? Still too early for golem.

A troll or something maybe? I never play arco myself but I always got the impression that they were all about communions rather than thugging.

Why do you think you need thugs?

from where I see see it game armies consists of three types of unit, late age supermagic nonwithstanding:

1. dudes, that either provide bodies or strategic tactics ie flyers
2. casters, that make dudes drop a little faster and can kill thugs if pelted with enough magic
3. thugs, that cannot be killed by regular dudes

I have right now plenty of first and third and a complete lack of the second.

because otherwise I have to send my entire army to combat their thugs as neither chaff nor offensive casters can kill them by themselves.

if you have sneaky dudes like vanheim and TNN, this is a problem.

Cant you mindhunt them to death or something? Isnt that an arco thing?

water bottles are kinda like thugs

link to betterarena?

isn't mind hunt an astral vs. astral only thing

noted. shame I don't have any right now.

Have you bootstraped into D or B yet?

>isn't mind hunt an astral vs. astral only thing
You're thinking of magic duel. You really don't want to use mind hunt vs astral.

Naw man mindhunt works on anyone. You are thinking of magic duel.
Isnt one of arcos things that they can mindhunt sort of recklessly because they have healers that can fix them if they fuck up?

fug, I forgot desura is kill

Dangit, I need pretty high summon to get a troll king. Any other ideas?

nope. not a single of either unless i recruit a measly demon priest. I'll probably need like 20 turns to get to thug d / b summons from there.

as far as i know, feebleminded, insane, etc, etc cannot be healed by the greek sex magic

Pretty sure you need pretty high to get any of the good thugs.

found a virgin

As arco at least I mean.

Then, uh. Mindhunt? Arco is not really about thug. Thugging in every situation is a strange mindset.

ayy

Achieving tactical variety is a strange mindset? Thugs let you do more things.

do you even N9 shrouded golem?

Oh boy, they gain a whole MR. That puts them from below human MR to standard militia MR!

Admittedly, kinda useful against banishment spam, but who the fuck tries to banishment spam Ermor as Ermor? Can Ermor even CAST Banishment?

No, it can't, but it can help against undead mastery.

Hello darkness my old friend

You will get subpar thugs for retarded amount of gems. Is it diversity you are seeking?

No, that sounds more like innovation than diversity to me.

A way to stop enemy thugs mid game without fielding my entire army.

Enemy's strategy seems to be centered on self buffs only. If I counter their thugs, they will have a hard time resisting my advance. however, given arco's military set up, I don't have access to proper thugs and my mages are one script change from death if I send them on their own.

Otherwise i'm stuck with taking one province at a time and they can get them back with no problems because they completely counter my PD.

I could cast basic as fuck spells specially designed to kill in melee and turn my mages into class cannons, but that would require spending mystics

Mystics are good antithugs. They actually have a variety of things that deal with thugs well. A few mystics + buddyguards handle thugs fine.

Please elaborate

Even lowly starfire is decent against thugs since it is 2 x 5+ AN with precision bonus.

elementals, incinerate, frozen heart, mind burn/soul slay, earth grip/meld, solar rays

>inb4 "my research is construction 5"

also cascades

and if that's not enough for you, just bring a few vitriolic lions to murder that ponyman

What if he has used up all of his Fire and Water gems making Rune Breakers?

then he can just murder it with mind artillery

>feebleminded (...) cannot be healed
of course it can, newfriend

If memory serves some afflictions like Feeblemind and Unhealing Wound have a significantly lower chance of getting healed.

Any affliction can be healed by greek sex magic

I'll take it into account. I'm not entirely sure it would work, sending casters alone strikes me as easily counterable, but well, I have both spare mystics and spare troops.

Ultiamtely it all boils down to researching either alt 5 for anti thug or sum 5 for magical commanders. I guess i'l do both in time. Question is, which one do i got for right now.

>solar rays

I've spammed that spell a few times, I think I've saw it hit something... 2 times.

>sending casters alone strikes me as easily counterable
your infantry is cheap and disposable, you can easily spare a few blockers

>I think I've saw it hit something... 2 times.
you must be talking about another spell, solar rays pretty much never misses (+100 precision); it works only vs undead creatures though

>your infantry is cheap and disposable, you can easily spare a few blockers

I mean, sending casters alone with any kind of arco infantry that generally drops like flies strikes me as easily counterable.

>you must be talking about another spell, solar rays pretty much never misses (+100 precision);

ooh you are right. What was the name of the other spell, the one that's a weaker thunder strike

100 precision is autohit.

Other than pregnancy.

Perform the task with enough vigour...

skeleton thread

llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=SkeletonWar

Only 10 more Ermors needed.

Come in before all good colors are picked.

are literal first-time scrubs allowed?

If you don't stale like a bitch.

the better arena link redirects to the desura homepage, is
drive.google.com/file/d/0B-jNQgOwI-Q_Z2VSZGpSVlZkX2s/view
up to date and the same version?

The link is literally on the game page, you blind nigger.

i'm trying to send my turn in, been about an hour and it isn't sending it in so sorry for being last.

i know that but what im saying is that when i try and follow the link i get redirected to pic related. do i just need a desura forum account or what, or does the link i showed before work too?

refer to

look at the friendly skeleton on the page, blind man

god fucking dammit i swear to god if i had two brain cells to rub together

don't worry, none of the skeletons in the game have brains either, you'll feel at home

>aquamarine ermor

Can someone take a screenshot of all the color choices?

...

It's beautiful.

I have a boner.

>7/16 already
SEND YOUR CHAMPIONS, FUCCBOIS

Don't recruit Ancient Ones, they said.

They're shit, they said.

>1 mage
>indies
>still lose 4 sacreds
Shard Guards are better in every way

Nobody said that, we just said they are worse than Shard Guards.

To be fair, it's only turn 8, so I would be surprised if he even had anything good for those mages to cast yet.

There are lots of good spells at level 1, like star fires.

>Ulm
>star fires

Me too, mate.

>more than a thousand gold worth of sacreds beat a thrown-together army of chaff with one mage
This isn't impressive.

>8/16
>nobody took best boy ermor yet
nice

>someone cast fires from afar on my poor burds
=(

Star Fires is nothing before the arcane might that your casters can deploy with Animate Skeleton.

>birds crying about getting bullied
you could have prevented this

see I joined at 8/16
and I'm just wondering if I sniped what you consider "best boy ermor"

how sway
i haven't burded anyone at all this game
i'm in the weakest position
ulm has this massive vendetta against me because i said one thing while trying desperately to save marverni

Scrubs?
