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.

Does summod Lemuria still needs its pretender awake and with death to do anything or are there other methods now?
Kevin Jenkins
routing is fucking stupid sometimes
Dylan Hernandez
Yay for the now reasonably-priced Zhayedan!
Andrew Bailey
If that hadn't routed, or if his caelian had routed, I'd own that province.
Last two bastards on the field.
Andrew Evans
How about bringing the throne reqs to a humane level so we can finish the game faster and move on to Dom5
Levi Butler
Would you rather have it so killing half of 400 men and their commander results in them still charging towards their death?
Leo Roberts
Should of sent your assassins to the folks above you instead of me. But yeah I got really lucky there, if he didn't route that area would be yours for sure.
Brayden Baker
A reminder. Ulm if you stale this upcoming turn with no explanation. I'll be subbing you or setting you AI whatever the players vote for.
Jace Miller
It does not.
Isaac Myers
Holy fuck.
As part of the prot mods in Dom 5 crossbows aren't AP anymore, because they aren't magical. They have increased damage to compensate.
Jason Torres
Fireball or Falling Fires?
Anthony Sanchez
Finally they can be a sensible sacred to purchase.
Andrew Mitchell
Falling fires.
Easton Butler
Fire style: Fireball
Carter Russell
Depends on your precision and the amount of the enemy
Leo Rivera
Ah good, T'ien Ch'i did not die in the hurricane. A good development to be sure.
Bentley Parker
How do you cope with the wait for Dominions 5
I literally don't know what to do, all I want is Dominions 5
Daniel Rivera
How do they get to higher levels of death, then?
Austin Garcia
I just keep allowing myself to forget, thus when it actually does get released I get pleasantly surprised.
Landon Powell
Playing Dominions 4.
Kevin Cooper
>playing obsolete games
Samuel Evans
>Bro why play the xbox 1 bro >Bro the xbox 2 will come out a year from now bro >Bro you fucking retarded bro >Lol bro it doesnt matter that you already own it Bro
Cameron Thomas
Finally
Joshua Gutierrez
Also Vanheim, where is that doomstack you threatened to kill me with. Because as of yet not a single attack has been launched on me
Daniel Wood
Vanheim is fucking done for dude. They're dead.
Jaxon Torres
I know, but I was expecting one or two sneak attacks from him judging by what he was talking about in the last thread. But I got not a single one
Grayson Brooks
>Send in a highly experienced army to take out a throne full of spring hawks >They fucking murder all of my men I can't even play thrones anymore, it just hurts looking at all of my men dying just so I can send another group to watch them die as well.
Jaxson Turner
how do we fix therados
Austin Nguyen
Dominions 5 already does
Angel Perez
delete them
Brayden Bell
You just need 20 good Shock-resistant thugs and you can do it
Easton Russell
Don't you wish you could sometimes have eyes of god up, just to look at the charts.
Jack Walker
would you pay 600 gold for a merc?
Eli Roberts
I'm coming
Jose Cruz
You said that last thread
Luis Sanders
Gnimoc m'i
Parker Bell
Do not disrespect me
William Rogers
That's what your mom said.
Lincoln Myers
>S4 gives boars +3 MR >8 MR boars THE DREAM IS ALIVE If this stacks with Antimagic it might still be good
Juan Gomez
>S4 gives boars +3 MR >7 MR boars THE DREAM IS ALIVE
Zachary Morales
(I thought boars had 6 MR not 5 RIP)
Robert Cruz
You're in the club when this guy runs over your gf
what do
Noah Davis
>Marignon gets +2 to fire and +2 to astral Is 2017 the year of Marignon?
Dominic Phillips
Get run over as well sine we are in the same square.
Luke Scott
Kind user please tell me about the jew buffs
Christopher Clark
They are not sacred
Jack Gomez
>magic weapons basically for free
Josiah Kelly
With eyes that big no wonder they go blind.
Xavier Reed
Too bad their sacred knights are shit
Jeremiah Bell
seriously though how do we FIX therodos
Gavin Cook
There is nothing wrong with Therodos
James Wilson
By buffing Hinnom
Luis Bennett
Woah, my mod is the OP image. Neat. Have this WIP stealth warrior.
Kayden Anderson
You know all things considered at least I am not the first one out
Lucas Miller
thats factually untrue
??
Austin Stewart
He probably broke siege so that his life would end more quickly.
Juan Lopez
That's what Christian Bale said in Equilibrium too.
Kayden Barnes
Fire magic is shit SHIIIT
Charles Thompson
Fire magic BURNS.
William Cox
I hate you but not really, Atlantis. I will crush both your Awake/formerly Dormant Idol of Beasts and your armies if I have to. Are there ways to keep or make one's Pretender healthy and strong? I hate afflictions. Especially when only so many (not that many) nations bothered with researching medicine. It's ridiculous how much they don't care about their health but go yapping about "the only thing left is to attain". Morons and imbeciles, the lots of them.
Eli Howard
Blood Feast, Gift of Health
Caleb Williams
Another reason why people love earth snakes so much
Jaxon Gray
Wait doesn't Uruk have SACRED gigantic chariots in Dom5?
Jacob Taylor
The Chalice works too (assuming a living pretender)
Parker Cooper
These are the only things I know to help deal with afflictions, I would put the Amulet on your pretender. It can be a real godsend if you plan to use it alot.
Xavier Fisher
Man-eater really should get more love since it can just blood feast itself back to health.
Jaxon Brown
so my thoughts on therodos: they need to start with more cap income and they need decent cheaper commanders to use all those 2 gem items
also remove the causing unrest from these smiths thats annoying
Parker Nelson
>have unrest adding and removing commanders >baawww remove unrest adding from smiths
Juan King
Man eater is one of my favourite awakes, along with 3 horn boar and devourer of souls.
Jaxon Flores
Best pretender coming through
Carson Ortiz
Best all around mage coming through
Angel Brooks
>2 high-end Magic Research goals that assume that I took Regeneration bless >1 relatively simple degenerate Blood Magic ritual that causes unrest and dead bodies >all just to fix a dragon's broken limb That's retarded. I have no idea how many months it takes to heal a non-permanent afflicition (a lot and the favor of the Random Number God, I assume, since one my SP Oni Pretender just wouldn't heal some minor wound for several months at least). Maybe beta testers for Dominions 5 should ask Illwinter for a low/middle-tier Nature Magic Ritual spell that heals minor afflictions?
Jaxon Moore
>not sacred
Oliver Gonzalez
Best non-sacred non-summon coming through
How can other nations even compete?
Ryder Hill
I prefer the shamans much more over those guys. Sure they have their place but they will bankrupt you if you just use them.
Liam Lee
Or priests could get an ability to "heal god" if they are in the same province as it Much like how call god works, it could take an amount of holy points to heal an affliction.
Wyatt Perez
With sacreds, summons, and actual magi.
Jacob Murphy
What makes her so special, she doesn't look that good. The archers on the other hand are fantastic.
Mason Gomez
105 gold 1 0 5 gold for this BEAST 35.4% of them have Earth 2 which means Earth 3 in battle
Robert Diaz
The shamans still beat them in that regard, hell one of my shamans got earth 3
Benjamin Rodriguez
Dualwielding offers high attack density and increases benefits gained from Strength of Earth.
Revelers are superior for that, though, if a bit difficult to buff (for EA Pan who needs to cast Earthpower first at least, MA Pan gets plenty of E3s who can cast buffs turn 1)
Kevin Watson
>Implying 105 gold Earth 2 smiths aren't Actual Magi
2 attacks, stealth, ambidexterity, okay prot, 14 Defense. A very good deal for 14 gold.
Tyler Brown
Shamans cost 30g more but are sacred so idk. They have less prot and can't get Air 2 or Water 2. On the other hand they can get Death 2 or Nature 2.
Leo Brown
the heck do you think you are gonna do with earth 3
Liam Hall
(also shamans are inept researchers)
Anthony Ortiz
...
Liam Lee
Looks like you haven't been looking at the upkeep, and the shaman is sacred so it cuts the upkeep in half even further. Making three shamans equal one smith.
Camden Collins
I thought that was the already reduced upkeep.
Xavier Mitchell
Nah
Justin Mitchell
Maws of the Earth, Blade Wind, Marble Warriors, Destruction, Strength of Giants, Earth Meld..
Earth is THE battle magic school. To top it all off earth mages are incredibly hard to kill.
Ayden Jones
Doesn't regeneration just straight up provide affliction resistance?
Connor Thomas
No yeah I know. That's why I mentioned that they're sacred.
Nolan Scott
No, that's definitely the reduced upkeep. I loaded up my modnation where everything's auto-calculated to check; The 140g sacred mage has exactly half the upkeep of the 140g nonsacred mage.
Sebastian Rivera
No, think of regeneration like cutting your wrist, they will heal right up and in seconds its like they were not even there. Now imagine that someone gets their arm lobbed off, they heal but they got a little stub where their arm used to be.
Samuel Wright
Well shit you learn something new everyday
Luis Bell
>Earth 2 They have about a 40% chance of getting E2, which means that you get 1 E2 mage for every 2.5 105 gold non-sacred magi that you hire. Compare this to something like Agartha's already high costed earth-readers, who are guaranteed E2 for 185 gold and are sacred. Warrior smiths are not a good way to get E3 combat access compared to many other nations.
Benjamin Martin
Paying 30g less each year is still potentially significant. You break equal with a smith after a year and you're gaining money from then on. On the other hand you're losing 24 research/year.
Jayden Kelly
You get way more research and (eventual) access to F2, A2 and W2. You're only losing out if you need as many E3 mages as possible. To add insult to injury smiths have 14 prot, provide 5 resources each and can forge stuff at a discount.
