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 3000 units, 900 spells and 400 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.

Why the FUCK do Nazca mummies cost so much upkeep? What do they even spend the money on? They don't pay rent because they live in a fucking tomb. They can't eat or drink. They replaced their organs with literal silver and gold and it's STILL not enough. End the mummy welfare state NOW.

Terribly, they're basically a land nation stuck in the water.
I hear Pelagia's stronger in 5 than they already were in 4 to boot.
Jaxon Barnes
is that agood idea
Landon Garcia
magic bandages and balms to keep their desiccated shit in
Adrian Lee
>trapped with Pelagia in a 6-province lake Oh boy.
Brody Davis
They might not be able to eat or drink, but they still demand lavish banquets because fuck you.
Elijah Foster
Pillage your capital, that'll show 'em.
Jonathan Wilson
They really are, basically.
Their horses have fucking fire breathing on land, but not in water.
Their casters are all air mages, stuck in water.
Morgan princesses and their sacred heavy cavalry are good, but expensive as fuck, so basically they have small elite teams, and all the weaknesses and strengths that implies.
Their sorceresses can be natural A4's, though, so you can really rip stuff up on land.
Gabriel Rogers
It's like how Jomon is a water nation stuck on the land, except Jomon also has no way to easily get underwater.
Hudson Wood
my retarded non-astral mage picked up a lucky amulet after a battle and now he's horror marked. will continuing to wear the amulet increase the probability of horror attacks or does it not matter now?
Dominic Powell
>Harab a good burd. Studying death magic to get his life back on track >Need more stipends for muh mummies
Jordan Gonzalez
IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?!
Joseph Nguyen
This was a major problem for the Inca state in real life too, so it seems appropriate to me.
Dylan Campbell
gib more LAtlantis wisdom, they're my favorite nation thematically who's good to fuck? who's hard to fuck? is it ever worth removing squid? even if they have shit expansion/aggress you/cap is really close/etc.? opinion on best ice infantry? I was thinking spearmen for repel and leave the deeps to sacreds
Henry Ward
Does Protection of the Shadelands stack with Antimagic?
Logan Scott
Before I go any further, did Dominions 5 ship with only 3 maps, one of which was ported from Dom4, or is it just my copy?
Jack Barnes
they fucked up big time with the maps and basically shipped none of them
Leo Lopez
Is Magma Eruption as MA Ulm always better than Iron Blizzard if I can get my mages to summon phoenix power?
Nathan Long
Post dumb fucking idiot cute lizards.
Jose Campbell
Pendants of Luck don't cause horror marks, nor do they care whether the person wearing them is an astral mage. They don't affect the probability of being attacked by horrors, either.
Bentley Hall
Well that's gay, the replayability of the game is severely limited by the lack of maps. I thought that was a problem in Dom 4 as well, and yet it's incomprehensibly worse in 5 for some reason
Asher Thomas
what the fuck is that and what does it have to do with agartha
Jordan Bennett
You need this god awake year 1 instead of year 3 why exactly if you aren't using an incarnate bless? If you are going to use those blessables, go for imprisoned and get the 5 additional scales.
Daniel Phillips
It's an axolotl
Luke Stewart
i know frost brand and firebrand are good, but is shadow brand good?
Carson Smith
Are you undead?
Ryan Nguyen
im yomi
John Cruz
artist must think actual olms are too ugly to be moeshit or maybe he's just stupid and thinks they're based on axolotls because he's never heard of olms outside of dominions
Luis Rogers
They look pretty much the same sans eyes
Austin Rodriguez
The new changes with dominion visualization and winter graphics means a old maps have to be modified before they can be used, there'll be plenty community maps soon enough.
Isaac Gomez
I got crocs and that's it
Kayden Cooper
...
Robert Long
C'tis are not dumb. They are pure and hardworking cute lizard boys who do the right thing.
Nathaniel Bennett
moggers plz
Caleb Rogers
do turns
Zachary Lee
Playing as EA Caelum, does the Solar Eagle make for a decent expansion-focused pretender?
Connor Perry
>Diplomancing a bunch of polite, friendly players, establishing borders without conflict
>Nobody realizes i'm the biggest threat by far
This is a conflicting feeling
Kayden Peterson
Don't forget that TC didn't win Stalewarriors, biggest threat.
can someone givem a quick rundown on how to play EA Agartha? Also, what does opening the seal do?
David Williams
Summons a Legion of Gods trapped within a God Vessel.
Landon Mitchell
JUST USE LIGHTNING BOLT THEY SAID
IT'S NOT THAT SCARY THEY SAID
Christian Morales
>only 1/square and shit defense >BUT >great prot >two attacks >high attack/length 4 weapon, great repel >limit 1/month why did they give MA C'tis something really cool that could be decent with the proper bless then make it never worth it to invest loads of points in that proper bless
Michael Baker
>5 (five) mages >kill a god Maybe skelespammers against a snek lel.
Ryder Sanders
5 lv2 air mages ain't gonna down a SC pretender on his own turf you boob and try not attacking into two months' salary worth of heavy cav PD next time
Justin Perez
What is it with illwinter and things that never stop growing anyway?
Carson Murphy
>never stop growing >age 46 it's mostly with amphibians/reptiles though, right? lots of them always grow slowly IRL, also some fish and most crustaceans
Carter Morgan
Use olms to hold enemies in face so your fat waddling nerds can hit them once in awhile.
Your summons are great.
Your guys are big enough not to worry about Earthquake.
Luis Johnson
Yeah, but I recall nearly dozens of descriptions that contain something to the tune of "the foos live for a very long time, and they never stop growing."
It's always written this same way. Perhaps I should begin marking on the back of an envelope each time I hear this phrase repeated.
Jacob Perez
I like you, anonymous
Leo Myers
they definitely can cause horror marks
Jayden Reyes
>:^(
Andrew Smith
>dullest series in the history of strategy game series
Landon Wilson
It's in every Atlantean and Agarthan description, I know that much, and I guess it's in Sobek descriptions too. I don't think the giant nations "never stop growing," though.
Elijah Moore
are all the ma games in progress
Luke Wright
Racist.
Caleb Richardson
Did anyone win that game?
Nathaniel Kelly
Next time try using enough to actually do something, instead of just scraping together whatever happened to be lying around.
Kevin Walker
Since humans and other mammals don't work that way, they feel that their audience won't know about it unless they specifically call it out.
Matthew Allen
I think either bats or Hinnom won, I honestly can't remember. I had to quit shortly after the armageddons stopped because my new dorm had broken wireless.
Anthony White
there won't be enough 'never stops growing' races until we get an crustacean one gib amphibious crustacean kingdom with high natural armor and additional pincer attacks, LA jomon's crab/shrimp soldiers are already precedent, they can be the remnants of it from EA/MA >crab/shrimp infantry >mantis shrimp all-in-one tough cavalry a la centaurs >abyssal lobster high-morale trampler >horseshoe crab lv1 in holy/magic monks with high precision >sea urchin/sea cucumber mages >king crab priest-commanders >foreign deep sea recruit nautilus mages
Aiden Wright
Bats won.
It was our favorite qt spaniard's first :^)
Colton Thomas
Magma Eruption is what you do with your out of cap wizards
Parker Turner
REEEEEEEEEEEE
Michael Cruz
How about you don't join 18 user games on /domg/ or you don't whine about stalers in your game. Fucking idiot. Simpleton.
Caleb Murphy
except ME is now 2F/2E, which your master smiths only have a 5% chance of getting also went from 30 fatigue to 50
Cooper Wood
...
John Phillips
give em a fire jar
They start casting round 3, which sucks, but after epower the fatigue's lower
>allowing Lemuria Either the game will revolve around removing them or they'll win
Christian Brooks
You mean cast EP, then use the gem to cast PP? Or does the mage spend a turn automatically using the gem to get +1 to fire when ME is scripted? I keep forgetting you can use gems to boost paths, never tried it.
Jose Wilson
You cast both EP and PP, yes.
Mason Carter
We don't need more dumb nations for uw shitters.
Adam Morales
If I script a mage to cast a bunch of specific spells, then set him to cast spells: enemy monsters, will he target the manual spells at them as well, or only the random shit he casts once AI takes over?
David Young
>something something #notfurry something
Hudson Murphy
Is cold ineffective against all undead?
Jackson Hughes
isnt one of the undeads' trademark cold resistance
John Johnson
Ghouls, Manikins/Mandragora, Oni spirits, Smoulderghosts, Anthrax, and the dudes from Hidden in Sand are all vulnerable to cold.
Isaac Gray
Thanks, very useful
Ian Hughes
ooooOOOOoooo whaaat's the maaatter anooon? tooooo spooooopy for yooooou?
Matthew Bell
Speaking of Nazca, is there something specific you can do with the Royal Mallqui's innate spellcaster 2? I think it's the only recruitable with that property.
Chase Powell
>mfw someone can't handle a few ghosts
Jace Nguyen
So I just want to edit the costs of some spells but I can' find the file they're saved in. I've read the mod manual but it doesn't tell me where to actually find the spells file and I don't want to just go through the shit of adding them from scratch. Someone wanna help me out?
Oliver Martinez
You have to make a mod .dm to alter existing spells.
John Mitchell
This is the kind of thing where it might be useful to use some kind of inspector. For looking at game information, and loading dms to check changes. If only we had such a thing.
Luke Reyes
>Ulm, I understand you're the german nation, but please return to your lab and pick up some supply items. Let's save the re-enactments of Stalingrad for if you get to fight Vanarus, mmkay.
I'm merely accelerating Ulm's heresy to get sick vampires in MA
