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 YoyBoy#5823
David Hill
There's actually a Dominion general. Huh.
PS. Spooks empire is where its at.
Aiden Rivera
There's been one for a long time, you just might've not spotted it with the anime pics we use for openers.
Carter Russell
It was here for about 3 years, I think. It was here when I started playing Dom4 MP.
William Flores
Don't let the shit thread of the dead game die, please.

I'm just a lurker, I can't bump a general by myself.
Austin Gray
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.
Zachary Harris
Probably earth meld.
Charles Brown
I want an ichtyid nation!
Connor Powell
Can a bunch of berserking assholes capture a province after their commander routs?
Aaron Hughes
>The game admin for SkeletonWar has just rolled the game back to the previous turn
Michael Lopez
I think so.
Jace Jackson
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.
Angel Perry
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
Asher Garcia
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.
Chase Bennett
There might be another dickwad dusk elder. You never know.
Asher Barnes
>implying you can stop Saoluthi's time rift Motherfucker clearly hit you with gold experience requiem.
Nolan Fisher
FOOL
SAOLUTHI CASTS AS HE PLEASES
Jordan Nguyen
Which ermor even has Saoluthi The Gamebreaker anyway?
Gabriel Myers
...
David Phillips
baka!
Adrian Turner
fucking ded game
Christopher Myers
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
Samuel Thomas
Saoluthi is of no nation. He was the last Pannenkrator.
Henry Gray
>tfw Saoluthi tries to kill the thread just like he killed SkeletonWar
Hudson Rodriguez
>tfw we won't find out for several hours whether or not he succeeded
Nolan Flores
I have an idea for the next Veeky Forums league. Our teams goal should be 10,000 storm demons vs 10,000 storm demons.
Ryan Gonzalez
Please to sub or set ai Xibabby
Zachary Roberts
Okay, so maybe I really do need to set Mictlan AI. such is life
Robert Wright
Vinemen versus Longdead
Brody Morgan
Not sure if OC, but goddamn either way this deserves merit.
Nathan Myers
Pretty sure that's OC tfw no qt roleplaying neighbors
Henry Ross
Shit could get published. He's a better poet than Lovecraft and that fucker got famous.
Noah Turner
What game?
Thomas Bennett
Depends how much they're blobbed together.
If they're spread out I think I'd rather meld, otherwise bladewind.
Liam Reed
I am fond of C'tis.

Wyatt Turner
>warned about barbarian invasion >doesn't happen Can it happen a bunch of turns AFTER it has been announced?
Jonathan Murphy
It's funny because those tusks could be seen as poorly-drawn tears. Yomi is bad, is the joke.
Henry Russell
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.
Hunter Gomez
>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
Anthony Sullivan
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.
Brody Ward
So it's like tumblr?
Landon Lewis
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.
Cameron Mitchell
>tumblr >only 40% chance to trigger per month
Nicholas Moore
A turn on the internet is one second.
Jordan Green
And it stacks.

Levi Thompson

Julian Smith
>admin is a faggot for setting a staling player AI
Juan Edwards
nigga he's in an unsalveageable position. If you really want to prove me wrong, then sub for him
Cameron Green
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.
Nazca has staled twice (thrice if you count this turn where the admin had to step in).
Brody Turner
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?
Brayden Myers
Nazca, you could have done your turn in the time you've spent shitposting in thread.
Parker Parker
>everyone I don't like is Nazca Okay, faggot.

>defending some random player who staled out of a game this viciously I wonder who could be behind this post...
Ethan Parker
>tearing an admin for being a retard is the same as defending a shit player Lol okay
Hudson Lopez
>removing a staling player is shit admin Alright then, if you say so.
Jaxon Long
>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.
Matthew Long
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.
Bentley Lopez
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.
Jason Anderson
this desu
Ayden Sanders
>"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.
Zachary Morris
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?
Jose Foster
No, I want you to explain yourself properly. Calling other players "idiots" because they don't play well isn't a good attitude.
David Williams
k, sorry senpai, won't do it again
Brandon Lewis
>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?
Nathaniel Campbell
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.
>EA Ermor >Trying some communions >Elder augurs kills my augurs as they spam death magic
How do I prevent this?
Tyler Cooper
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
Anthony Howard
So using path with master which slaves doesn't have kills them? I thought it was some death magic bullshit.
Lincoln Robinson
Nope. It's that if your masters cast a spell the slaves don't have, there's a giant fatigue multiplier.
Xavier Nelson
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.
Bentley Walker
Oni general/oni priest pair is better than single daioni
John Perez
But they aren't DAI
Connor Rivera
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.
Ryan Flores
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
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.
Blake Barnes
Top tier roleplay strikes again!
Aiden Mitchell
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...
Carter Morales
Yeah, nevermind, there is also yomi so 5 of them.
Jordan Lewis
oh boy, here we go 2 rounds after.
Joshua Bell
Just foreign recruit flamens and give them fire jars to fireball spam.
Luke Cooper
>restart Don't be a pussy. Keep playing and innovating.
