/domg/ - Dominions General

Travis 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.

Johan had to use the bathroom so Dominions 5 is delayed by 8 minutes.

This tickles my autism. I know the commander's leadership affects retreating, but are there any factors such as map move?

why do people say the solar eagle is a good tier thug pretender? he cant even expand over indies reliably if they have nature mages

I'VE WAITING FUCKING MONTHS FOR DOMINIONS 5, AND THEY HAVE THE GODDAMN GALL TO PULL THIS?

it's bait

Survival affects it, this I know.

where is the last thread, OP, you stupid fag

It died when retreating into enemy territory

Looks like this one is about to also.

Solar eagle isn't the most powerful awake expander and can only take on relatively average indys but the advantage is that it has flying map move 4 and recuperation so you have much more freedom to pick and choose even going so far as to expanding into far away provinces using your starting scout for info

They don't; it's shit

>FewGimmicks TNN

I thought was just pretending to be retarded.

No, I'm actually fucking done with dom4.

Dom5 isn't really going to be much different though.
All we're going to get is different math

It will change the meta somewhat.

t. RoS nerfs.

Not him but if Dominions 5 doesn't add anything new or unique and it's literally just fucking DOM4 i'm going to pirate it.

RoS was actually buffed in yesterdays beta.

How exactly?

RoS will just be replaced with something else.

RoS was already replaced by something called "player skill" in all games I played.

Combat is now simultaneous, with all mages casting at once, so yeah, it's very different.

Yes, I too have the player skill to script my mage to cast RoS.

and in dominions 5 I'll have the valued experience I need to script my mage to cast the new cool spells.

Player skill is actually just how good you are at lying to people and betraying their trust.

t. stale meme

are you sure? I could be one of your "allies"

you could also be losing a teaching game as uw shitters

unda da sea is second best racial theme after birds

Hey /domg/, I just wanted to call out FewGimmicks TNN as a petulant, snot-nosed little child. That is all.

>province defense separate
>who did the killing is now visible

I WANT IT NOW

Ur has Jomon-like underwater powers now, too.

TNN needs some amphibian-ness considering TNN is occasionally reached through going under the sea.

that's pretty cool, gives a good idea how useful the pd is too

Having warm bodies for enemies to hack at instead of your field troops is always useful. Especially when they have separate morale checks.

What mod is this?

Travis Mod when?

NOT TODAY

ded

...

Is everyone playing Dom5? Is that why the general is so dead?

there are no new games and people are dropping the old ones waiting for Dom5, thats why we are so dead

Centipedes are going to be fun in Dom5. Until then I'll keep working on them.

centipedes riding crabs?

also why not use multiple uh hands to wield multiple weapons instead of boring spears?

Oops, I must have misclicked somewhere and moved the mages in without troop support

At least it was only a loss of bunch of gems rather than the mage force itself being wiped out.

>troop support

Abysia or Yomi, whichever of you managed to take 25:

14 is part of my capring which was taken off me by an event. I'll be taking it back, so kindly send any troops you may have nearby in some more productive direction.

So what could kraken fully armed with fists of gladiator do?

...

Attack an absurd number of times I'd suppose

nice one agartha, but it looks like Pan has already beat me and you to Ctis so I'm bailing. You two can sort that out.

Hey guys new non-meme game. Let's get a game going before dom5 comes out because it's delayed.

By the way score graph = off is the normal setting right? It's been a while since I hosted.

>illwinter.com/dom5/
fuck off and wait like rest of us

>delayed
Even with dom5 coming out there's a lot of other players playing dom4 still. Including myself.

but what if both sides have PD

joined as Marverni

Other than /domg/ where else do you guys go to talk about dominions?

discord

discord, dom3mods, my wife

What do the War Zealots look like?

...

What's the status on 24hours Mictlan? Who is fighting him?

you are a fucking retard. do you have to practice to get that stupid? I bet it just comes naturally to you, imbecile. You'd think a general like this would be populated by fairly smart people but it turns out it's just assburgers that are also somehow dumb, which means no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

its really fitting that the last dom4 game i play is full of stales and general shitcrappoo

They've essentially conquered Caelum and C'tis, with some resistance there, and are also fighting Vanheim and just got attacked by Berytos

Let it die.

Okay.

Some units will, but imagine trying to fight an enemy knight with near-elbow length arms.

And yes, net throwing crab cavalry.

hey hey what does the centipede cavalry's wife say when he's preparing to go off for war?

take carapace

>Responding to shitposts an entire day later
C'mon Dmitri, you can do better.

Can you tone down the saturation and add a little more shading?

I think they want you to research a little first

JUST

Let it die

>Announce Dom 5 in 2 months(which generally means its literally finished)
>Suddenly delay it

clowns

you dumbass

Can we just let the general sleep until DomV comes out?

Yes. Sage goes in the e-mail section, or options if you're using an extension

...

ded general

Does the pd auto repopulate after each battle still?

if not, pandemonium

5th Archea game to kick off dom 5?

sure i would love some AIDS virus

lol, fake news

Blade Runner 2043 is really good. I recommend it.

>Archea
Why not a good meme map like Oeridia Adventure.

>imagining the adventures those nine had on the way home

The thread is slow. Respond when you get around to it.

HE STILL HASNT TAKEN IT

...

Retreating units should have a chance of showing up in your capital like how sometimes units escape from the other dimensions.

That'd be cool as h*ck.

by the way I'm not still bitter over Armemegeddon

>story events off
I mean I know it's a meme setting and it's not a deal breaker for me, but I do like having fun.
