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.

Look at that magnificent expansion, all 7 provinces by year 1 vs AIs. He'd fit right in with LightAle.
Elijah Williams
Disgusting
I was fucking around with a blank modnation that literally has no units (so you're stuck with indies only apart from your MA Marignon starter army) and I still got 10 provinces year 1 with nothing but indies, my 10 crossbowmen and pikemen, and mercs.
Unless Illwinter has fixed the bug, thrones modded to increase some scales just increase death instead. Chocolate Thrones more like Skeleton Thrones.
Noah Robinson
I think most of them just give you more shit to recruit.
Hudson Ortiz
Riley here. Chocolate Thrones: Sure, why not?
70% seems like a fair amount. please don't check me I'm a shitter
I'm okay with skeleton thrones
Luis Rogers
>I wouldn't make them much before at least hitting Alt7 outside of certain circumstances
So...as I was saying...fucking useless as expanders then?
Joshua Ramirez
>Lanka. >3 Order. >5 Dom.
The fuck?
Connor Moore
Ulm here. Give a link for a chocolate mod you plan to use.
Ayden Nelson
1. You didn't say shit about expanding with them 2. dualwielding, low resource units WITH BOWS are actually great for expanding 2a. especially considering MA Man's other units are fucking garbage 2b. So fuck you 3. Alteration 7 is just ease of use, you can do everything at Alt 7 at alt 3, you just need more mages casting smaller AoE buffs 4. read the guide faggit I'm tired of spoonfeeding you information that someone else already wrote
Zachary Roberts
No I'd rather zero in on one thing out of context and use it to bash the guide I haven't read t. user who thinks repel is an issue for decently lead troops.
Jacob Evans
Yes, he is. RIP game.
Evan Stewart
kek If there's anything I'd zero in on it's the pretender section
Dude clearly has a boner for the master lich that exceeds his common sense, though he at least gave some attention toTitan or Durrgon or Scales.
I really think something with N5D2 is the way to go for Man. Rush alteration because it's good for you, get a Momma Oak, then get Lamia Queens. Death and Blood access with only Nature Gems required- probably won't save their lategame but it's better than nothing.
Evan Hughes
Anyone interested in another NEET ONLY game?
Connor Kelly
I'd join if ME was in play. Can't go back to vanilla summons anymore.
Ian Gray
Honestly yes, but only if it's got fast turn timers AND roleplaying
Gabriel Jackson
spell that gives mass fire protection?
Adam Thomas
Rain sort of.
Benjamin Cox
>roleplaying Literally never ended well in /domg/ games.
Ryan Gutierrez
Several, fire fend and warriors of niefelheim.
Bentley Carter
Firefend, Warriors of Niefelheim - battlefield wide There's AoE 15 or 25 or somesuch versions at a much lower level, which is probably what you're going to be using in practice.
Sceli and Pythium - you have 2 hours before you stale.
Ryder Perez
Why does LA Patala's Sacreds have no helmets and a shitty buckler?
Asher Rivera
I'm tired of so many ME summons not scaling.
Bentley White
Its too cool for you man, you couldnt handle it.
Nathaniel Phillips
because Patala is an EA nation that accidentally wandered into the wrong era when some monkeys went scaly
Levi Anderson
So just like Mictlan?
Lincoln Martinez
I would also like ME it seems neat.
Carson Ross
Can someone link me to a good guide on how to get a proper blood economy up and running? I'd rather like the have a blast at EA Mictlan in an upcoming game, they look interesting, however I've zero experience with them.
Adrian Foster
convince why i should ever play LA and i'll join
Gavin Cook
elf is already removed
Hudson Scott
Joining as Midgard.
Ian Howard
The state of /domg/ games.
Jackson Russell
Well that's just awful.
Mason Brown
what the actual fuck.
Blake Jenkins
Tribless op
Aaron Green
...
Isaiah Martin
All those removed people, and bats are still around. For shame.
Ayden Sullivan
Bats are tribless as well, actually, and they're being removed by Man. They also failed their expansion. Like Ulm, Jomon, Abysia and Ragha.
Isaiah Foster
One thing I do quite enjoy about EA and MA Abysia is that while they might not be very good its almost impossible to fuck up expansion with them.

Take 8 B1 guys, forge Sanguine Dousing Rods (misc item, B1, construction 4) and have them wear them.
Get a bunch of cheap units and a few commanders to hold them. Low cost is by far the most important factor, but good action points, good precision, and flying are also valuable. EA Mictlan can use (non-blood) slaves (some of your commanders have a special command to create them), most other nations summon wolves or black hawks. National troops can work, but are relatively expensive.
Get a few cheap commanders with good strategic movement (scouts are good, especially since they're also stealthy) to ferry slaves.
Find a province with more than 5000 population. Provinces with low income are better than provinces with high income, as more population past 5000 does not give any benefits to blood hunting and you'll take an income penalty from unrest in the province you're hunting.
Put the blood mages on the province and have them blood hunt. Put the commanders with chaff on the province and patrol with them. The scouts should just hide on the province for now.
Next turn you will have blood slaves on your mages. Select your scouts (all at once), and press 'V' to transfer all slaves to them. Select any scouts holding blood slaves, and move them to a lab. When they reach a lab select the scouts and press 'Z' to move their slaves to your treasury. Move the scouts back to your blood mages to pick up more blood slaves.
Do this for more provinces if you want more slaves. If unrest is consistently too high in a province (above 50, in my opinion) send more commanders with chaff to patrol. When population in a province falls too low move everything to another province and continue blood hunting. Below 4000 is where I usually move.
Once you'd done this for a bit you can experiment with number of mages. Too few hunters per province causes high income loss for each blood slave you get, too many hunters per province means most of your mages end up finding nothing.
Aiden Anderson
To be fair, I only went AI last turn. I had 2 provinces, other than my capital (which was under siege).
Ethan Bell
Also, since you'll need slaves to forge the Dousing Rods, I should point out that you can hunt without them - it'll just take about twice as many blood mages to get the same income (and you'll get more unrest).
James Parker
you were stalling every single turn, though please refrain from doing that in the future

Cooper Ortiz

Levi Martinez
Pythium staled. If he is about to stale this upcoming turn, I will look for a sub,
Lucas Campbell
fuck. i think my pc shat itself while sending the turn and it didn't attach the 2h file properly.. what happens when you send the email empty? and can it be fixed or i am just fucked?
Evan Cox
you can always resend your turn. If it went through, it'll be like "Oh, here's confirmation on your modified turn." If you didn't, your new turn goes in as normal
Austin Howard
but i checked just now, thinking it went through okay, and it didn't and i think i 'stalled' or something
Daniel Sanders
what are the best items to give to an Eater of the Dead?
Robert Bennett
then you suck and your turn didn't go through. Do your new staled turn now
Matthew Campbell
gift of kurgi, copper arm, vine shield

>Ermor this is Tir speaking. >I thought that you were stopping your expansion on that isle as you said before? What happend to that?
Nah I decided to do what my nation needs most. Which is more land. You better not interfere or I will declare war on you as well.
Luke Jones
fuuuuuuck. i had my turn done, why did it had to do this. is there no way of rolling back or something? and i wont be able to play this turn anyway, so i am requesting a 24 hr extension please. i will try to play asap.

Maverni, don't make me go all Ermor on your ass. Send in your turn.
Xavier Ross
I'm kinda happy they don't. Stops people spamming them with stuff they shouldn't be spamming them with. Or finding some way to break something and then it gets nerfed into the floor.

>dying to no dominion in year 4 You deserve this.
Cameron Gonzalez
If I remember the game right, this was way back when UW nations had a harder time keeping their dom around, and he'd gotten fucked over pretty hard.
Still probably should have preached, but it's understandable why he got domkilled.
Luis Scott
Of course it's understandable, it's because he's a scrub.
Jack Price
