/domg/ - Dominions General

VAN 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.

FUCK YOU VIKINGMAN

First for aboleth traps.

...

The fuck was that about, Rlyeh? Don't you fling your fucking dreams at me.

I didn't though? I'm fighting Jomon and Ulm, not you.

Muuch Muuch

Then who shot a magic dream at my mages, you squidding fucker?

I want to croak that frog.

9th for passing out after 6 combat turns

That's weird, could you give me the exact text? Was it an assassination spell or a general 'everyone is going crazy'

Why didn't you post the best girl.

Actually, it could have been Vengeance of the Dead, but who the fuck would waste gems on that?

Probably your goddamn dreams. Keep your void spectres off my lawn.

I respect the attempt

Blindfighter buff when
Heavy armor units in general have some serious issues

I wanted him to jsut get back into the fort.

Will do.

That's actually r'lyeh's national remote assassination spell I think

Are we restarting Modernizameme, or should I send my turn?

If I used Dreams of R'lyeh it'd be REAL obvious it would be me since it's an assassination battle. Arco is my ally.

It has an MR check.

Pyth is great too!

forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=48070
It was VotD

Huh. Okay. I guess it has the same text. I've never seen VotD cast.

I've played LA Riley, I know the power of the dreams, and their MR checks. I'm just a bit surprised that someone wasted gems on Vengeance.

That said, Dreams of R'lyeh is terrifying, since most creatures have halved MR and stats in the void, and the s4 assassin can just soul slay them. I've done it to pretenders with 100 gems of gear.

For a good reason. It's MRN, and even if it suceeds, if a dude can kill that number of people in the regular battles, he'll be able to take on 1k mediocre ethereal soulless dudes.

If it was actually everyone they killed rather than a bunch of ghosts it'd be way more dangerous.
>60 mages come for your ass in a dream

Are you familiar with the pro wrestling move by that name?
just play summod :)

...

If you are going to restart again for Doom, it would be great if you waited to I can get my pretender in.

In case you aren't going to restart it, good luck everyone.

What am I even supposed to do? I sent the same pretender twice, even though I made the last one with the newer mod.

I suggest we just gang up on Doom.

t. Shitludia

Guys, I was checking Neritia in game to see what to look out for and I discovered that their progeny initiate and progeny contemplator mages are literally free. This should probably get fixed.

We are not restarting, so send in those turns.

Doom's pretender is most likely fine, considering the veracity of the errors I've been dealing with this whole time.

If his pretender IS incompatible, it's most likely going to be some horrid mess with a terrible chassis and no attacks.

And sorry to Tzeentch. I started it as soon as Doom got his boy in. Just bad timing.

Thanks to everyone for your patience, let's all do our best and have a fun game.

Or perhaps I spoke too soon.

You PROBABLY can fix the cost in the .dm and send it to llama to change it. Then send the same .dm to all players. Though it will be easier to restart, considering it's turn 1.

Okay so Tzeentch, please submit a pretender using
mega.nz/#!I2xhCQQJ!_FSgrdb3f9CDbvULQxtbdCymv_koZrBAI4lBQSgX3hM
Thanks.

Hey Strabo, you should probably give these guys a gold cost.
I just picked 165 and 215 out of my ass.

tzeentch you better submit really fucking fast or ill lose my patience

Let's use your numbers for now. Sorry for inconvenience.
t. Strabo

Also, admin, please remove Sargassia. I won't be able to play. Suddenly got hospitalized.
t. Strabo

Just discovered that my cracked 4.29 version won't allow me to play with you guys, sorry
Please remove me

t. Strabo

:^(

Did a methhead stab you?

Made me burn some gems. Thankfully not much.

No, severe sinusitis. Shouldn't take too long.

Looking for a temporary sub for Ermor in MAtureContent and Juza in VegetableWarriors6!

>Ermor in MAtureContent
You're about to die anyway, just go AI.

Fair point, I'm getting gangbanged, but I've never went AI before and do not plan to do it now. Going AI is bad.

ur bad son

No shame in going AI when you've lost

The real shame is that the AI is so shitty

I'm just going ahead and starting. Submit your turns. The .dm is here: mega.nz/#!I2xhCQQJ!_FSgrdb3f9CDbvULQxtbdCymv_koZrBAI4lBQSgX3hM
If anyone wants to sub for sargassia, give me an email- elsewise I have someone who will sub.

Tzeentch my man, we are like ships in the night.

No bully ;_; I'm doing my best.

I can appreciate that.
Go down swinging, and fight the unbeatable foe.

Would anyone be interested in a no profanity game using a mod that replaces all references to 'Hell' with 'Heck' and 'Damned' to 'Danged' etc?

That sounds freaking hilarious.

Somehow 'Heckbind Heart' just doesn't have the same ring to it

REEEEEE

I love ichtyids!

Anyone have the Zyzz image?

Honestly, MA Ermor nerfs are completely unwarranted. 90% of Ermor wins were because other nations being scrubs that would've lost to any other nation just as easily. Like, look at all Malakal games. He just wins them without any effort. What I'm saying is MA Ermor is a BALANCED nation, even in vanilla. Instead of nerfing it, you migh just need to buff other nations a little bit, like summod does with MA Marignon, for example.

...

Is there no balanced games? Symmetrical maps and everyone playing the same faction?

There was a game called SkeletonWar. It was the most balanced game ever.

Why would they keep the head?

Play that guy's national thrones mod.

There were same nation games, but where's the fun in that?

llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=JapeCulture

Summod+WH LA, join the fun.

>ME
Nope.

But I'm not using ME.

Alright, you convinced me.

Best buffs for revelers?
Protection/Wooden Warriors, Quickness/Haste, Regeneration, Earth Might. Others?

Army of lead, gaias blessing, mass regeneration, weapons of sharpness, quickening, strength of giants, fog warriors, mass flight, growing fury, will of the fates, body ethereal.

Does growing fury stack with their inherent berserk, improving it?

No, its just there to trigger the berserk without the need to take damage. It instantly triggers all units with the berserk ability.

If that's supposed to be MA or LA Xibalba, then why is it doing a slav squat?

Again missed it? Sorry, I had to sleep.

because , just like most slav countries , LA xibalba is completely broked and unplayable, and will stay that way until someone in xibalbas case sum1wom fixes them

Cool story, my friend.

Because its a frog user.

Why is Malakal the meme when players like nick and Sy are just as spooky, if not spookier

Because they're nice and gentle after they rape you, and Malakal is just smug.

It's not rape if you felt good.

Nick doesn't like the spotlight. In fact it was nick who convinced Sy to start his youtube channel and who started the Malakal meme.

He is the real Malakal

Nick didn't start the Malakal meme. I know it because I did.

Malakal is also a really chill guy after he wins, and I don't understand why people think that I'm smug.

t. Malakal

Bracada update! Thanks to Malakal for the feedback from VW6.

z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=3369

Changelog is way too big to post here.

why can't you get rid of half of those units

Endless bloat is not a good thing

Because autism.

Have you heathens praised the one true pankoman today?

Also for all the autistic mythological details in the game there are fuck all armored dudes wearing tabards.

Of course it was fucking malakal. My poor clowns.

It was not a secret, I signed up on steam.

I came in later, didnt even know it was on steam.

I'm in.

Daily reminder to always remove LA Ulm.

Has an unremoved Ulm ever caused you trouble? Have you ever even seen one?
