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.

First for retaking the throne of night, best part is it wasn't even defended. Which is really odd since there was a whole huge army there last month.
Brandon Jones
I swear there was like 170 troops here just a moment ago but the second I begin my retaliation they are gone.
Liam Powell
What the actual fuck? That's like astral corruption caster for Ermor. Ignoring the fact that B9 and astral minor are fine blesses for Ermor.
Cameron Cruz
Monkeys are currently being counter-bullied by me. That's probably why they decided to move their army. Enjoy your free fort & throne, friend.
Carter Johnson
Nice, he was building up troops on my boarders and a attack was imminent so I went to attack him. Looks like both of us are going to get some nice land
Do we really need one? Aran is already a small map.
Easton Lewis
I thought I joined as conflux?
Mason Gomez
No I joined as conflux
Angel Thomas
Aran is a placeholder. I'll use a better map. W-what? There was a Conflux player, but he switched to AvLee. Do you want to play Conflux, or am I getting memed on?
Jackson Wilson
I just sent my pretender recently, but it's hard to tell with all these Unexpected Nations.
Robert Robinson
Oh. Then we have full house. What would be a good 9 player map? And I suggest the other players to send in their pretenders.
Brody Williams
Already sent mine in t. Warlock Dungeon Men
Benjamin Wright
Shadowshore.
Alexander Nelson
Thanks. Will check it out. I was suggested Maerland too.
Isaiah Baker
Seconding Shadowshore. t. AvLee
Nolan Anderson
Don't actually do shadowshore, it's a horrible map which heavily overrewards flying and sailing and punishes cold scales on non-flying nations.
Leo Walker
Hi admin, can you add 24 hours and change the hosting interval to 72 hours so I don't have to bug you every turn
Brody Brown
>needing three days to do a turn
Jack Perry
How the fuck do you beat EA hellheim?
Gavin Allen
With Lord of the Forest.
Carson Rogers
What is everyone's problem with doing their turns this game, actually?
Matthew Wood
Hey Fomoria. Are you around?
Benjamin Bell
Cursed Fomoria, that is.
Josiah Cook
It takes a long time to sneak my elves around and load them up w/ gems!
Lucas Mitchell
Every Fomoria is cursed, to be fair.
Oliver Stewart
Is there any other kind?
Mason Murphy
You can do that in 10 minutes if you have alot of elves
Juan Jones
Ahem. Is the person playing Fomoria in the PBEM game CURSED hosted on llamaserver around.
Nathaniel Reed
Maybe, whos asking?
Lucas Diaz
Malakal
Gabriel Evans
Malakal who?

Caelum. Have steam/discord?
David Harris
I am not Fomoria, I said maybe he is around and then asked who was asking. I never said I was Fomoria
Noah Lopez
>start complex multiturn transaction with Doom >they don't send me the stuff I was promised on time and then they start staling
Lucas Miller
That's great.
Anthony Cook
Lucky, in one of my games alot of the players pitched in to give astral gems to one guy to dispel a global effect. While everyone did that the very same turn he went AI
William Cook
Hey guys, I'm printing out posters for my new study / game room and I need high resolution Dominions-related stuff. Looking more for stuff like maps and battlescapes rather than amine wifoos
Christian Flores
How is this
Jeremiah Torres
Starting the game. I hope everything goes right, and I do not kill llama this time.
James Garcia
Pretty good. I've already got a Valanis. Mormacil's maps are pretty great
Any pbems allowing modnations? I have a sudden urge to play Lagos.
Alexander Nelson
It seems I sent a wrong pretender with dom1 and +1 morale. Can we restart, please? Honestly, I don't get how it's even possible. I only had one pretender made. Perhaps because it was made with an older version of the mod?
Michael Gray
Sounds like a fine pretender to me, besides I dont know how to reset
Jose Torres
...
Daniel Evans
He's not the real admin. Real admin is offline right now, will probably be back in like an hour or something.
Luis Hughes
Listen you break it you buy it, if I restart all the other players will have new locations. Just tough it out
William Bailey
Yeah, I see Eggplant is sleeping right now.
Still, good try.
Asher Stewart
You don't even sound like egg since you didn't spout any memes and used an english colloquialism whilst english is his second language. Study up before you troll! These little details are important!
Bentley Wood
Thanks for the advice, I will try to up my game next time around. Thank you for being so understanding.
Adrian Russell
Tell me about the Egg. Why does he spout the memes?
Logan Bennett
HoMM3 mod nation pretender names
I expected more of them to be named after heroes
Isaiah Reed
>Jesus Christ >Not a hero Jesus Christ has Awe 5 my dude, he is one of the best heros
Adam Sanders
He's a bob guy.
Austin Mitchell
Does Snake Mullich get 5 mapmove?
Hudson Bailey
He gets extra action points, Gunnar would get the map movement bonus
Mason Fisher
Wew lads. Unstarted the game. Deyja, tell me when to start it again.
Ryan Wood
Now that's better.
Daniel Cooper
What ugly flags
Mason Perez
How do I deal with N9B9 boar spam as EA Xib? I've got around 5 in every school.
Elijah Collins
N9B9 beast bats
Cameron Walker
Sadly it's a little late for that. I do have W9B6 beast bats/Ozelotls though
Joseph Reed
Get a good commander with high defense and attack, and then give him the amulet of giants.
Easton Adams
Fear spells and anything that affects MR.
Justin Hughes
>He's a bob guy. >He's a bob >He 's a bob >He 's a bo >He is strabo
Jeremiah Miller
Yeah panic and terror can be pretty brutal against low mr nerds.
Luis Fisher
I mean morale. Pans etc casting panic can be a real bother ive always wondered how they would do paired with demon knights for fear. Pans can get B2E2 easy right?
Wyatt Foster
yea but pan likes turmoil and turmoil doesn't play nice with bloodhunting
Justin Wilson
unless you play lanka* Its not like you need shit tons of slaves and would do this for every army, even 5-6 fear causing knights and some panic would be a neat rout trick. Besides cant you patrol the unrest away with pack of wolves?
Cooper Nelson
>Pan likes turmoil
In what way, other than spawning memethots?
Tyler Campbell
With world war in full swing, we are kinda beginning to question the need for these news reports, as everyone has already picked their sides and there' no need ot inform peopleof whats's going on.
That is especially true as the news arent very good for us either. While armies of Ur have been able to initiate a counter-raid on Fomoria's territories and even kill an actually armed druid, the plan was to see other nations succeed against distracted as well. Despite minor successes, Ur's territories are still occupied by a bunch of thugs and some enemy troops. Lanka keeps throwing more undead monkeys at us and now we are too busy fighting elswhere to respond properly. Goddamn, why is AI lanka so much more competent than the human who played it? Ulm's doomstacks got paradropped into and heavily culled by Fomoria Pangaea, who we hoped would be able to assist, is not even winning its own local conflict with agartha; and its huge army size is apparently mostly consists of useless maenads. Pangaea lost a fort this turn, as well as an army that was sieging Agartha's capital.
So... yeah, go clear that indie throne and claim the thrones already Fomoria.
Also we would like to respond to a post form the previous thread >"I-i-i-i don't care about what you do senpai, throw away your chances at winning, i don't care about winning this game either but blah blah blah" >t. Ur about 20 turns ago
Unlike Agartha, that was only a threat we were under no obligation to follow up on, and the whole point of those messages and diplomacy was to avoid a pointless conflict that only diminishes both sides' chance to win. Something we have succesfully achieved, as conflict with agartha has been averted at that point.
Tyler Wright
I guess things are really FALLING APART for you guys eh?
Samuel Wilson
Could've said "Sure Agartha I remember our deal, and seeing as you were busy beating up Mictlan alone when AI Sauro took those provinces from you I can give back those provinces I agreed to give you before." But nope, you decided that helping the a Pangeaea that sends global casters into battles and assassins to assault provinces plus 2 fucking swamps + a plains was worth it. I could've done some shit to Fomoria, You know? can't telefrag me when im behind 1000 Benis Worms. But you made your bed and now lie in it.

>turmoil doesn't play nice with bloodhunting Just add a few more patrollers, it's not a big deal.
Evan Long
but where is TURMOIL PANGAEA going to get PATROLLERS?
Jaxon Nguyen
Use growth, as the pop grows you can recruit more PD
Connor Davis
harpys..

Say I have 30 astral 1 mages who will be boosted to astral 2.
When is it better to stellar cascade spam vs. mind hunt/paralyze spam?
Is it just a question of MR resist? Anything around 10 or so MR gets blasted?
Levi Turner
Cascades is better against most targets.
You'll want to consider paralyze if you're fighting large size enemies with poor MR (e.g. Hill Giant, Cave Crab), or targets which are very high value but don't have great MR (e.g. SCs without MR boosting items, giant sacred troops).
Mind burn should generally not be used if you have access to cascades. Only bother with it if you want to use the #mind tag to snipe leaders of mindless troops (and even then, you should go with soul slay instead if at all possible).
Aaron Cook
What's the syntax for wishing an enemy pretender dead? "kill nation god"?
Luis Nelson
Lets be honest castle is just shit nothing more than indies pretending to be marignon. If you see castle expand onto them like the indies they are.
Isaiah Scott
I mean, its not like they get hordes of free troops or anything...
Alexander Rogers
I for one enjoy reading the chronicles of my ascension.
From the west my undead minions of Lanka invade Ur and tie up forces of R'lyeh. Their service to the Cause will be remembered.
From the south forces of Agartha crush Pangea one army at a time. Their aid will not be forgotten.
My token forces repelled and crushed puny Ulm attempt at invasion, they never stood a chance at all. You were a fool to count on them.
My armies have secured another throne this turn, without any losses. You were a fool to rely on indies to protect you.
My thugs have free reign over the entire creation, one took another throne off you just now, you were a fool to rely on PD to protect it.
And the squids... well their pathetic attempts at mattering are so laughable its not even worth my comment. You were a fool to rate them over Lanka at anything.
Its only a matter of time before the true Malakal ascends once again.

What if PD started getting their own thugs at high numbers Like some commanders with Piercer Mounted commanders with vineshields & cold brands etc
Charles Hall
What if bear tribe started getting their own thugs if you didn't deal with them in the first year? Like werebear assassins with 2 dusk daggers.

Why do people even follow those tribes when they are all so shit? The only good ones are shark and bone.
