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.

proud of you

You forgot to fix the last line

LA Caelum is the worst Caelum not just in terms of power but in disgusting lore. Worthless daeva-worshipping fire-corrupting heretics.

>not wanting to die and join the ranks of brave skeletons

what are you, gay?

tips for LA jamon? starting out and dont know what to do.

DOG

Only possible reasoning is Hidden in Sand I'd think.

Forget I asked.

hey yomi wasn't the last one this time

good job

im the dog, i did it because this is literally my first multiplayer game and i have no idea what the fuck im doing at all

He did his turn ages ago.

stalking another player's turn submission points is a little creepy. Unless he's last every time, there's no reason to be a little bitch.

he's last every time and he doesn't double them up

There can be some good in stalking a player's turn submission on a specific turn. Let's you change your turn last minute to attack them if it looks like they're gonna stale.

Lets be fair, there were at least 2-3 turns he hasn't been last so far.

He's not last everytime. He's been last sometimes, and one of the last others.

Fucking moralfag monkeys holding up the whole show.

how do i increase the amount of resources i have? i seem to have way too much gold but far too few resources. do i just patrol more or what?

You need more production. A handful of units also give additional resources.Also dont build forts too close to each other since they take resources from the surrounding area for themselves.

literally said he was on a normie trip and wouldn't be back and needed 24 hour extension

Oh right.
In that case normies reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

all right, how do i get more production? the resources are per providence per turn, right (i.e. having my entire army in one city will eat up a shitton of resources)? i havent built any forts yet, whats the average distance apart i should build them?

im trying to look in the manual for this shit but unless im completely missing sections im not getting the big picture here.

captcha really likes fucking store fronts

You got to take production scales on your god to get ore of them. Your army doesnt effect them they only get used when you recruit shit.

so other than specific units there's no way to increase production other than on god scales? if i move the god / specific units to different areas, does it increase production at that particular providence there or is it a global thing?

if you had those scales and dominion was low in other provinces, it would convert it to that, but otherwise no

resources are mostly determined by what kind of area you have: mountains are resource rich, wastes are not, and so forth

Its mostly scales. I think theres a spell that gives more resources but If you didnt take good production there isnt a lot you can do.

Who are you playing anyway?

>if you had those scales and dominion was low in other provinces, it would convert it to that, but otherwise no
so scales take the place of low dominion? im not sure what that's trying to say

LA jamon

no, as in, having dominion over a province will apply the scales your god has to it

having no or low dominion wont have it apply

The stronger your dominion the better the effect of your scales basically. But if you didnt take good production it probably wont help much anyway.

Apparently the thing to do as jomon is to go UW as fast as you can anyway.

all right, i can understand that. except what UW is since im a brainless scrub. i've just been having my god sitting in my capital doing research for magic items because im gonna need something to let my troops go underwater if im gonna be able to get to the other landmass. not even sure what level of item creation i need desu

underwater

jomon gets special units if you recruit from there

>it takes three casts of Life for Life to kill an Unholy Hand

oh, well then i guess im good. like i said pretender just chilling in capital for research. equipping all my troops with that shit is probably gonna be expensive as fuck though. and speaking of, arent only commanders able to equip shit?

correct

there's a couple of spells that can turn any unit into a commander (divine name and gift of reason) but they're not usually worth the effort

There is shit to let commanders lead troops underwater. Manual of water breathing is the only one I can think of. You really should try to get a fort underwater, most of your best troops are there.

so how do i go about getting underwater then?
which type of research for that?

Construction.

ill look into it tomorrow, its past midnight now and i have an early day. thanks for the tips user

ded

Wow, that little? Guess they weren't such a problem after all.

Resources do scale with population, so Growth scales you should have taken Growth Scales will slowly increase them up.

Other than that, your options are basically certain fairly specific national mages which you may not have access to (Ulm's Smiths, some of the Atlantean kings, one mage for LA Caelum, LA Agarthan Reanimators), or putting up Riches from Beneath (Earth global, increases resources).

what anime does domg watch this season

konosuba and gabriel dropout

Rakugo, little witch academia, sangatsu no lion

No matter what the nation Turm 3 Fort 3 or both neutral is always the better option than Order 3 Misf 3

Shit advice.

Though misf 3 is a no-no no matter what. Except when you want quadbless mictlan for blitz memes, I guess.
