Is it just me or are there less games starting lately? You'd think there would be more what with it being summer.

I think there was a drought a few weeks ago but since then there has been a number of games started.

I don't know about you, but I've joined 3 joined the past month and thinking of joining another

I suppose a couple weeks ago was college exams.

Stop letting the thread die

I wish I could

Do you think we should execute those who create custom nations with archmages who are less than 70 points? It's the lamest form of ruining balance, especially when they have extra magic paths and physical abilities as well.

I think we should educate them as to their errors and embrace them as friends ~(˘▾˘~)

fuck off

>Do you think we should execute those who create custom nations
Yes.

>picking an archmage pretender

I like how you think.

No, human size pretenders are garbage and need a buff anyway.

Do you love ichtyids?

Loving Ichtyids viloates the NAP.

llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=TwoElvesOneGrail

Four More Slots to fill, simple EA romp

Too communist for my taste.

Some of you guys are alright, don't go to Ulm tomorrow.

Im afraid that due to the recent ded threds we have to discuss merging

who the fuck would we merge with? /gsg/? We left there because we got drowned out

Hey aBoneToPick admin, can we get 48 hour turns?

There is absolutely no reason for Yomi to not be an amphibious nation
They even have kappa summons!

Indie general?

I drew something for /domg/!

p. good

Nice, nice.

...

I hate immortal units, think they should all be removed from the game.

Ritual of An Hero

I will draw some more then

i like your draw
also in general i like this (constantly dying wtf) thread's superb oc, I wish the Roguehirrim of the roguelike general had half so much

Replace this with levitating monkeys.

Fuck levitating monkeys so fucking hard.

What levitating monkeys are you referring to?

okay that got a laugh out of me

Hey, I just got into the game recently and I've been playing a lot of single player to get a handle on the game. One thing I've been wanting is more map options, especially for small games, but more maps in general would be great. I've specifically been looking for the Elmokki collection, but it seems like every link I've found is 404ed or on desura, which also no longer works. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

make your own: corbeau.itch.io/cartographic-revision#download

I got some solid-seeming maps from moddb.com recently, here's what my current map list looks like so you can search for them by name

This, or at least 36 hours? We are getting into battles that take a while for scripting now.

also you can try asking elmokki himself about his maps if you are having trouble finding where they live. He's usually on IRC (if you haven't used IRC much before, there are in-browser clients that you can use easily enough), server irc.gamesurge.net, channel #dominions

Oh thanks, I didn't know he was still active, I might try that

bump for fire gems

Disciples 3v3 game just ended, good stuff. Ermor, Asphodel, R'yleh vs Ulm, Ashdod, Bandar Log


These forums have tons. Ignore the url; its for dom 4
z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showforum=22

good god why is Veeky Forums moving so quickly today
no wonder we've kept losing the thread

How the hell could Ermor have such good research?

I dunno, I was Asphodel.

maybe found one or more of those astral sites with crazy researchers? I dunno

bump for MA agartha

Fire brand+blacksteel helmet+chainmail of displacement+boots of messenger+bracers of protection+ring of regen=good gear?

sdneped ti

>check the mods
>over 700 new spells
Is magic enhanced aight, or should I just wait for another game to sign up for?

That's a lot of gems. What's your base encumbrance? And why no shield? Shields do good things. I know that conflicts with questioning why so many gems... how is the armor on your base chassis?

Also, I'm not a fan of bracers of protection. +def is the worst way to try to keep a thug alive, since it is defeated by [more dudes]. And 2 protection is not much protection.

How are the current games going? I'm seeing a little bit from aBoneToPick, any updates there? Has anything interesting happened in MagusAssistance or the TurtleIsland UWbowl lately?

I've completely forgotten what other games are currently running but guys from those games seem to talk a lot so meh.

Would you pay for DLC for Dominions?

Say we get a new nation once per month, but it's behind a 10$ paywall.

Not really no. Its expensive as is so would kill the player base and the game.

It's not balanced but it's fun.
I wouldn't pay.

How the fuck am I supposed to play bats?
I'm retarded.

Fuck no, especially when its so easy to make a nation.

Is there a way to filter the inspector by modded tags like #newspell so I don't have to scroll through all these slight changes in aoe size in the 'modded' tag to find the new shit?

In MagusAssistance, Atlantis Malakal'd some poor saps into attacking Marignon. Ermor is no longer under siege for some reason.

if you grab a copy of the Magic Enhanced only (not the combined-with-summod one) it contains with a pdf of the new stuff

>Atlantis Malakal'd some poor saps into attacking Marignon
t. Marignon

Marignon literally wraps around the world. It's a one-power game.

Just forgot about shield, base encumbrance is 4. Base protection 21. But what instead of bracers?

not him but maybe something like the girdle with reinvigoration, as one of the ways to kill scs is to make them fall asleep

IVV is a slog that Malakal is winning

MagusAssistance has slowed down a little but it's still exciting

Oceana is winning the UWbowl, rlyeh and pelagia both got domkilled

Have +2 reinvigoration from bless.

you want to have more reinvig than encumbrance, because a lot of good enemy spells can increase encumbrance on all opponents or the entire battlefield (ie without an mr check)

Admin, if you're here, it looks like I need to request an extension. Sorry to do it so early in the game but shit happens sometimes.

...

aBoneToPick Man and Pan are the biggest players.

Asphodel is down to one province after losing their capital to Pan.

Jotunheim is AI and will soon be completely eaten by Man.

Whoa easy there Malakal, I only took 3 provs from Jotun, and I'm by far the smallest remaining player. Both Ys and BL are larger than me, and they are at war.

Sure. How much time do you need?

12 would probably be enough, but 24 would be safest if you're not worried about anybody staling.

Got it. Postponed 24h.

t. Malakal

All of these are me.

Is stream of life generally good? If it is what level of N is needed for it to be generally effective?

Fuck off fag, I'm the smallest player

I thought you were dead already, sorry.

I've been dead since the start. A 2-province cap ring, really? This fucking coast should be nostart.

Meh still doable

>tfw you haven't done a turn without compulsively checking and modifying it in months

cuuuuuuute~

I think you should be removed from the game fagged :DDD

Ye that also happens a lot...

This isn't me.

I drew Desura Thug

Does fire cavalry target elephants, chariots and similar or only straight up horses?

Why is physical combat so weak in this game
If it doesn't have paths for buffing or spamming spells, its worthless

I just want to give a big weapon to a big guy and make him fuck hit up
But these non-magical commanders are only ever good for ferrying troops around
Even assassins are useless unless given water elementals and shit

imo there should be dedicated non-magical thugs
They'd be like regular commanders but with with 0 leadership, bigger stats, and comes with combat traits like reinvigoration, ambidextrous, slash/pierce/blunt resistance by default

Play EA Ulm

>Why is physical combat so weak in this game

No but it can be useful against low MR units as Oceania, since you can get up to N5 in combat which gives you a significant boost to kill-chance and a small boost to penetration.

Didn't he also have a bunch of artifacts?

That's the 'joke'

ME adds some, actually.

Therodos is looking like theyre gonna win the UW bowl

haha called it

How?

Summod thed is strong.
