/domg/ Dominions General

Not malkal edition.

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.

Well since your game is not too different from mine I will join you. You can pm me on Discord

There's actually a Dominion general. Huh.

PS. Spooks empire is where its at.

There's been one for a long time, you just might've not spotted it with the anime pics we use for openers.

It was here for about 3 years, I think. It was here when I started playing Dom4 MP.

Don't let the shit thread of the dead game die, please.

Hownew.ru

I'm just a lurker, I can't bump a general by myself.

Supposing you have 40 or so high hp, unarmored tramplers (trogdolytes, elephants, etc) coming toward you army of men and you only have earth magic. You have 4 earth mages with E2 and summon earthpower. Would you rather try and meld them, allowing for your troops to create a line and hopefully morale route them, or pray to RNGesus for good bladewind distributions?

Don't have maws of the earth yet.

Probably earth meld.

I want an ichtyid nation!

Can a bunch of berserking assholes capture a province after their commander routs?

>The game admin for SkeletonWar has just rolled the game back to the previous turn

I think so.

It hosted successfully, you numbskull. I rolled it back to prevent Saoluthi's time rift from activating. You can safely send turns, just don't let that fag participate in combat.

Used to play Marverni alot. The boar warriors can capture an area even if all their commanders are dead provided at least 1 stays while berserked. I imagine all berserked warriors work the same way

I know

I was just upset that it actually hosted and I didn't have a legitimate reason to use that image anymore, so I posted it anyway.

There might be another dickwad dusk elder. You never know.

>implying you can stop Saoluthi's time rift
Motherfucker clearly hit you with gold experience requiem.

FOOL

SAOLUTHI CASTS AS HE PLEASES

Which ermor even has Saoluthi The Gamebreaker anyway?

...

baka!

fucking ded game

So, what actually likely happened was Yellow Ermor thugged out Grey Ermor's capital (which had a dusk elder named Saoluthi in it) so hard the game broke.

Specifically he was using a flesh eater to berserk the dusk elder and take the battle to turn timer, when all Grey's skellingtons would dissolve and his mages retreat. Saoluthi wasn't gonna have any of that shit, and cast TIME WARP

Saoluthi is of no nation. He was the last Pannenkrator.

>tfw Saoluthi tries to kill the thread just like he killed SkeletonWar

>tfw we won't find out for several hours whether or not he succeeded

I have an idea for the next Veeky Forums league. Our teams goal should be 10,000 storm demons vs 10,000 storm demons.

Please to sub or set ai Xibabby

Okay, so maybe I really do need to set Mictlan AI. such is life

Vinemen versus Longdead

Not sure if OC, but goddamn either way this deserves merit.

Pretty sure that's OC
tfw no qt roleplaying neighbors

Shit could get published. He's a better poet than Lovecraft and that fucker got famous.

What game?

Depends how much they're blobbed together.

If they're spread out I think I'd rather meld, otherwise bladewind.

I am fond of C'tis.

...

>warned about barbarian invasion
>doesn't happen
Can it happen a bunch of turns AFTER it has been announced?

It's funny because those tusks could be seen as poorly-drawn tears.
Yomi is bad, is the joke.

In a game I'm playing right now I got a barb alert, then 11 turns after that I got the attack.
And I had to keep an army there all that time because I didn't want to lose that 100+ income province.

>tfw in a position to win if I keep eating small guys
>paranoid that the second biggest guy decides to jump me with someone else
>diploing like mad to prevent this happening
love this game

40% chance to trigger per turn, if I'm reading the inspector right.

So it should trigger quickly, but it'll be a danger until it does.

So it's like tumblr?

Well it's worse for me, since I'm building a 1000g fort there. I mean usually 15PD beats barbarians, but sometimes they roll high and get like 60 which can beat your PD.

>tumblr
>only 40% chance to trigger per month

A turn on the internet is one second.

And it stacks.

Setting Nazca AI. Whomever was playing that was an idiot
>recruiting royal malliquis
>nothing else
>no other forts
>has a small number of supayas despite this

>that guy doesn't play like I want!!
>therefore I'm setting him AI
You're a giant faggot.

>admin is a faggot for setting a staling player AI

nigga he's in an unsalveageable position. If you really want to prove me wrong, then sub for him

Read the post again before sucking the retard's dick. Nazca didn't stale, he just played in a way Adolf Hitler over there doesn't approve of.

nah, you're a faggot
llamaserver.net/doAdminAction.cgi?game=DontStaleDesuSenpai2&action=showstales

Unlike you, I know how to check a staling log.

Nazca has staled twice (thrice if you count this turn where the admin had to step in).

Nice samefagging, faggot.
Don't forget to threaten to set AI anyone who stales and suddenly play right on time or anyone who doesn't play your way. Or anyone that opposes you.
In fact, why not play alone instead?

Nazca, you could have done your turn in the time you've spent shitposting in thread.

>everyone I don't like is Nazca
Okay, faggot.

>gets called out on being an idiot
>muh samefag!
>muh hitler!
haha cunt

>less than 90 seconds between posts
>samefag
ok

>embarrassing himself like that

>defending some random player who staled out of a game this viciously
I wonder who could be behind this post...

>tearing an admin for being a retard is the same as defending a shit player
Lol okay

>removing a staling player is shit admin
Alright then, if you say so.

>implying that's the main reason
Read his post again. The retard's main reason for removing Nazca is that he doesn't play well. He only added "oh, and he's staling" afterward.

Because the admin posted about it just last thread, and probably assumed everyone reading it wouldn't have the memory of a goldfish.

That post is his reason for not getting a sub, the staling is why Nazca is being removed.

Oh, excuuuUUUuuuse me for not keeping track of every drama in existence, princess. I'm sooo sorry for not giving a fuck about retards whining about stales.

I do however care when a shit admin starts making up excuses to remove a player simply because said player doesn't play properly.

this desu

>"That post is his reason for not getting a sub"
>nothing in his post about not getting sub, just him setting Nazca AI
Lol okay. Nice retcon.

He was in an unsalvageable position famalamadingdong which is why there was no point in looking for a sub
thus, setting him AI was the best solution
unless you want me to let him stale into infinity?

No, I want you to explain yourself properly.
Calling other players "idiots" because they don't play well isn't a good attitude.

k, sorry senpai, won't do it again

>not keeping track of every drama in existence, princess
And yet you're perfectly happy to jump in and sperg out without any the context.

>Nazca is staling
>his position is too shit to find a sub for
>therefore he is being set AI
Which part of the above is giving you trouble?

Good boy.
Being an admin means having power. With great power comes great responsability. If the admin starts being rude and dismissive, it will affect the entire game, and then will spill in the thread, and eventually destroy Earth.

That one was a great game.

yes

Fast. Sorry xib my reply was no where as good ;_;

>EA Ermor
>Trying some communions
>Elder augurs kills my augurs as they spam death magic

How do I prevent this?

Don't do communions with slaves without the path;
or
Cast only astral or fires spells;
or
put up Relief;
or
kill the augurs and then recruit more

So using path with master which slaves doesn't have kills them? I thought it was some death magic bullshit.

Nope. It's that if your masters cast a spell the slaves don't have, there's a giant fatigue multiplier.

It doesnt kill them, but the fatigue cost of bolstering spells of paths they don't have is way more high that of spells they have paths.
So it is way more easier to kill the slaves fy exaustion. If only for a spell or 2 of Death and many slaves (you will have to find the exact balance by testing) you can prevent the death.

Oni general/oni priest pair is better than single daioni

But they aren't DAI

What? They are very obviously not better. Dai Oni can also cast earth buffs that are vital for thugging as they give much needed reinvig. Dai Oni can access FA too.

Theyre more cost effective at best.

I know, I was putting wood in the fire so to speak.
But I was thinking just now.
What does a daioni really do aside memes?
They seem a bit too frail to put them into melee, even with all the buffs
They have nice paths to be battle casters but dont really bring anything other mages cant.
Skelespam: better off spamming any other mage
Banefire too
Winds: cheaper from the other too
Earth suite, but then, they are str caponly, not really amassable.
For thugging, as pointed previously, oni general are cheaper and you dont care they die.
Oni sc is very limited, its main attribute is to force your enemy to counter it specifically, which wont be hard
I want to like daioni, all the nive buffs and gimmicks, but they end up being expensive luxury

What the hell else are you going to do as Yomi?

Touché

Don't use Augur Elders with Augur communion slaves unless you're willing to lose the Augurs.

Even if you tell the elders to only cast fire/astral spells, once off-script they will likely spam horde of skeletons and kill your augurs.

Is there a particular reason you want them in a communion?

>They seem a bit too frail to put them into melee, even with all the buffs
Not sure why you'd think that.

They're a 50hp commander and after buffs they quickly regenerate fatigue and health via soul vortex, have 26+ protection to shrug off attacks, and come back to life if you somehow manage to kill them through all that.

And this is before you start adding items to tank them up further.

Top tier roleplay strikes again!

to lower fatigue of my elders so they can spam fireballs little longer.

Anyway I started a new game and started pretty good, expanded quite well but Im surrounded by hellheim, xibalba, marverni and machaka. Hellheim already declared war on my ass and others will surely follow soon. Should I just restart? There is no way I can manage 4 of them as a newbie...

Yeah, nevermind, there is also yomi so 5 of them.

oh boy, here we go 2 rounds after.

Just foreign recruit flamens and give them fire jars to fireball spam.

>restart
Don't be a pussy. Keep playing and innovating.
