The Wheel has turned once again
The Coming Crannog 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 3400 units, 1100 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.

hello domg
im getting into autistic but cool medieval combat sports and need a crest, so i can lowball a ukrainian babushka into painting it on my shield

>>531833250>>531833573as much as I love daddy demiurge and how he makes gnostedditors seethe, the big cock is a more striking design and pose, and also leads to comments about getting bludgeoned by a big cock (the height of comedy)
>>531835693>>531835791Both LA Pythium and Arco have mystery cults but they're not hermetic
If you use nature mages i dont care i will not care and lose the game not caring. not my problem.
>>531836023dont hellbless dont blood hard and its this
ind is a one trick lategame only pony and requires a good expansion and midgame to even manage mediocrity
>>531836463LA Pyrene makes your sacred cambion knights very powerful but is hard countered by foul vapors but who cares about that. i dont.
>>531836518Strong blood is always an option
Could also go dormant, you most likely won't need magic weapon before turn 12 though it does slow your first war research significantly

>>531836939that was a good recommend i didnt even know strong blood existed. naturefags btfo forever
>>531837145Why dump luck for magic? You can make easy boosters
>>531838839you need con 3 for the imp familiar but it seems like it takes a long time to research blood magic 1 for easier expansion then construction 3 or am i wrong about that? also for LA pyrene undead command is better than magic for the demons
Any gaymers want to blitz?
>>531839258The thing is Pyrene never struggles with expansion and getting free shit constantly with good luck outweighs it imho

>>531850021Current game. I need about 10-15 mages per army just to have all my Nature+Glamour buffs covered (still buffing 3 tiles per cast). And I'm pumping out +Earth boots, so I will have Earth mages joining up soon, bringing their own sets of buffs. I don't even have any offensive mages this time around. Have 4 armies like this one.
Probably an overkill for normal AI, could just spam summon unicorns and overrun them with sheer numbers, but using magic feels optimal.
>>531855810You can (if the game admin turned it on) rename commanders by opening their screen (right click on the portrait) and then pressing the ( r ) key. That can help a bit. They will not get reorganized, though, because the order they appear in is determined by their internal ID. You can still name people something that helps remember what they're supposed to do, though.
You can also make a sort of control groups. If you click one guy, and then shift+click another, it'll select everyone in between. Or you can ctrl+click to add or remove people from a selection. The game WILL remember this selection, so you can at least keep certain groups together. And in case you haven't noticed, if you select generals and then open the army menu ( t ), those guys will also appear selected there. It makes it easier to find a specific guy in the long list. Finally, once you have everyone marching to another province, you can also select that province and press ( y ). This open the army menu for the troops and commanders that will be in that province NEXT TURN. So it's very helpful to make sure that you're scripting everyone who will join a battle.
Sadly this group commander selection gets instantly updated, so if you accidentally press ( a ) to select everyone in the province or something like that, you'll have to set it up again.
>>531855810Ideally if you're having trouble cracking forts, it's best to just make gate cleavers or have draconian stacks.
You usually don't need large armies to kill PD with Man since cav is just that good in dom 6

In Gene Wolfe's Latro series, the MC is a Roman so he doesn't quite know the 'correct' name of places and gods. Sparta sounds a lot like the greek word σπαρτον (sparton) which meant rope. Hence Latro calls Sparta Rope and Spartans Ropemakers. Some etymologists claim Sparta actually does take its name from said word as sort of a slang catch all for the Lacedaemonian townships that made up that country.
Besides that, in the novel, Apollo is the Shining God, Demeter is the Great Mother, etc.

If you land yourself next to the late game threat early enough to smother them in their crib you can definitely parley that into a winning position, but you simply don't have as many options to contend with scaling nations if they aren't dealt with while you're at your strongest.

>>532021390mekone was garbage when they came out, and successive dom5 buffs were a drop in the bucket
Basically every shift in dom6, from fire magic buffs, sorcery nerfs, evo buffs, more income, a push to scales troops, was all in mekone's favor, and their unit caps were raised on top of that.
But impressions from dom5 may linger, and even with all of the above I don't think they are actually especially strong, just a good-ish nation
>>532021390They can't play well from behind, and need a ton of provs most particularly to expand their shitty magic diversity with indie mages. At the same time they aren't usually tough enough to easily win out against bless rush nations that would stop them from grabbing lots of territory. If you've gotten cucked out of nature access you're probably fucked in the long run. They're still probably in the best position they've been in with Dom6 overall.

>>532168690Can you change this with bless modding?
>>532177001I guess. It'll probably be more worth it if you make it cheaper.
The old point is that it got troops to attack twice. Combined with multiple attacks, etc., plus attack and defense bonuses... It turned a lot of things into absolute meat grinders. I guess there you'd rather need to mod the magical effect than the bless itself.
Not really sure it's a good idea, though. It felt like half of the blesses had Quickness. In fact, armies used to be fairly irrelevant past the early game, because overbuffed sacreds, SCs and battlefield wipes would just kill everything.
Blesses being weaker so that other things can have a chance too keeps the game more interesting. It was always amusing to crush a neighbor in the first year with 15 half naked dudes, but it also meant that you only saw the same nations being played all the time, because either you had those dudes, or you had something that could beat them, or you were rolling dice that you wouldn't get targeted.
Let it be. It is a relic of ages past.

You could try giving earth gems to an earth random cambion, cast earthpower, and then use another gem to cast weapons of sharpness and giant strength, and hope it hits a pair of devils. Arch devils have stronger tails though, and come with magic weapons, and are commanders. Strength-buffed arch devils could fatigue out the tree which at least stops it from casting spells. Do it fast enough and it won't even be fully buffed. Then you just need to do enough damage to kill it through regen.

Damn, back to the drawing board.
Kinda feels like you gotta have more HP and mistform or something.
Do magic paths affect casting time?
i.e. would somebody with 8 earth cast a 6 earth 300% spell in a 100% timeframe
>>532314717Most healing sources that aren't regeneration have the same issue. That's why I don't like enchanted blood that much.
>>532315764Enchanted blood has a nice niche in that it pairs great with undying.
But I can't image 0.5hp per turn is going to do much for you in combat.
>>532315764Ench blood is for chip damage on low hp units only. If you have a slightly larger pool than 20 you can take regen. Something like Kotc or pyrene knights can appreciate the heal because they don't take much damage from having so much prot, but it helps them survive the chip in the long run

>>532325212Ys is a conceptually beautiful nation that is fatally undermined by its cancerous one-sided bless rush design that ruins the game for whatever land nation spawned next to it
this WILL be fixed in LA when it is a land nation and only the exalted lore and theme, further developed on, will remain

>>532405841>blitzserver downsasuga, delay that until it's up
won my first game against 3 normal AIs as Man. It was a circle map so i quickly found Asphodel and killed it, NAP Machaka while killing the Colossi. I also managed to do the 10+ province expansion by year 1, which I was happy with. For magic I just rushed basic earth/nature enhancement alterations to protect my god and help it thug and then went all in on Conjuration to make Fay Princes and Knights to have more recuperating heavy cav, I never made a Cu Sidhe, even though my bless was alright for them. Made some mistakes and by the late game (it lasted 6 years) the enemy mages had some pretty nasty magic and their stupid dominion refused to go down, but I had them encirled so I just throne claimed to victory.
Was fun, I can definetly see why people hate Avalon Knights
Next up, Miasma C'Tis, which would be the coolest C'Tis if they still had Serpent Dancers, alas, one of the must fucked up dominion effects in the game will have to do.
>>532406297If you can beat an AI you can beat a domg veteran
>>532406516AI here, can confirm
Is putting an iron dragon in an indie army a terrible idea?
Miasma C'Tis is more about scales than anything else, right? There's potential for sacred spam, but you also want a powerful dominion to weaken everyone else
>>532408576only because he might get scared by seeing his army routing around him, if you can make him go beserk he can lead any army

>>532426809We gotta make another super fast research speed and super high site frequency game. That's how you get late game focused games, since suddenly every turn not spent researching makes you fall behind significantly, so everyone just bunkers down and then comes out guns blazing after maxing research. Shit gets crazy pretty fast after that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need a gacha mod where you receive random units with various chances depending on which package you buy (recruit)

>>532416828Vanarusian berserkers are fun to use I think they are the most fun thing to buff in the entire game on account of being robust and hard hitting while being very cheap and recruit anywhere.
Their lore is the most interesting and interwoven outside of the ermor spinoffs.
Perkunu are a really fun mages to use, anons kvetch about m-muh magic duel but I find it to be overstated in practice.
Malaia Druzhina have far and away the best sprite in the game. Those things are absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, being humans with one handed swords in LA they hit like a wet noodle once they've expended their lance charge and damage is one of the most cumbersome things to buff. While LA Bogarus does has earth access its fairly paltry and being recruit anywhere heavy cavalry its difficult to get good coverage of weapons of sharpness or strength of giants. The hcav nerf in dom6 also did them pretty dirty since they end up with a practical defensive stat block of 16 prot and 11 defense.

>>532454158Not with the gold income buff
Why the FUCK does Bogarus not have crossbows and bardiches?
>>532457918I have a mod that replaces malaia druzhina's lances and swords with two handed bardiches. Its cool as shit.
>>532436045with great fent, comes great responsibility
>>532458547Great! Now all we're missing are Streltsy; minimal armor, crossbow, bardiche.
A nice evolution of the spear-wielding archers Rus had in the past and it doesn't encroach on the heavy-armored crossbowmen other similar nations have.
>>532412503"An autists wet dream of a wargame."
You dont have as much numbers tweaking as in other autistic strategy games, but a plethora of tactical and strategic decisions. You have about a 100 nations that all play differently, sometimes drastically so. You can play to the nations strengths, but almost no nation is a one trick pony, and you can play very differently (akin to civ victory types). The meat of the game is the battlesystem, which is very in depth and satisfying while staying super accessible because it's an autobattler.
SP is fun, multiplayer is incredible.
If you are a history/mythology nerd, the setting is very cool too - it basically takes real world mythologies and folklores and spins them into fully fledged nations or religions.
Most importantly - don't bounce of the graphical side of things, there is a gem underneath!

What do you do with LA Man mages? I just research conj 5 for air elementals
>>532473790That reminds me, what about the boys?
>>532474974Air elementals are really bad in dom6. Research Alt 4 for BE and Mistform buffing first.
>>532475487Muscular manly men, beautiful of mind and body, honourably duelling in skimpy clothes and with minimal weaponry? Oh yes, we got them, including your choice of exotic colors and weapons
>>532482187They can trample still just fine right?
>>532484576careful.. thats a bot!
unless YOU'RE a bot..
>>532484576Ethereals deal only half trample damage. They can attack while trampling now, but the hp 'fix' on elementals means they can be killed in one hit sometimes, their relative size is reduced meaning weaker stats AND they are spiritform. So its a small buff on top of a quadruple nerf.
>>532485290says 48 hp on mod inspector.
>>532485708In dom5 eles could only shift one form down no matter the damage dealt, so you had to hit them at least 6 times to kill. Now they can shift down any number of sizes if enough damage is done, so with bad drn a oneshot kill is possible.
>>532486179oh, i see what you mean.
is the etherial doing half damage new? is it in the manual? what is spirit form?
>>532486523The ethereal trample nerf is new to dom6 and it is in the manual, yes.
Spirit form is a new tag then makes the unit not affected by most 'physical' buffs like iron skin, temper flesh and enlarge. Thanks Illfraud for making ghosts into cripples.
>>532487040yeah but its got like, 3x as much hp.

>>532488019Dom5 mod inspector shows hp for specific size forms only, the real hp was over 50 iirc.
>>532491236I was just refering to the conj 5 base form.
So basically summons are useless, construction is good only for items, projectile spells are the cucked version of hitscan spells that immediately hit and deal damage, and support spells like buffs, regen, and battle conjurations are all situational
Unless blood, death, or glamour, at which point you just shit out diarrheas upon diarrheas of shit-to-mid units to overwhelm everyone
>>532492407hitscan spells are usually save or suck
>>532492407every path has a couple of gangbuster spells that can win you the game.
>>532492407Buffs are good if you have good units to paint them on.
>>532492407Lategame summons are useful for creating supercombatants / thugs, but have crazy high path requirements.
Evo has some spells that target a mass area, which can wipe big chunks from the army
>>532491297Yeah, but in dom6 elementals have Shape Change Below %hp and their shown hp in inspector is their full hp.
In dom5 they have Wounded Shape instead for every form, so you have to add up hp of all sizes to get real hp, which is 54. Since leftover damage from an attack that causes the shape change is lost, it's effectively even more hp than that.
>>532454158>i thought Ulm loved the research starveUlm has some midgame research targets that it would love to get a bit earlier

well back to my AI C'Tis game
>>5325158044 heart companions in a square and me in the middle
>>532519474thanks! i was looking for something like this, but I missed the About section
>>532518147The game's already obscure enough to let's make something easy.
-First you have to check the game game on blitzserver and see which mods are active. Download them if you don't already have them (the weird thing is usually the map name, which gets downloaded by itself later. You mostly just need sloops and the black servant).
-Open the game and go to Mods. Make sure the mods in the game you want to join, and no others, are active. (Pro tip: you can also briefly connect to the game, that will set the mods automatically for you).
-Go back to the main menu and then to Tools & Manuals. Then Create Pretender God. Here you can create the god you'll play later. DON'T FORGET TO GIVE IT A PASSWORD (at the top during the pretender creation screen), and don't forget the password because you'll need it to enter your turn every time.
-Once you have your pretender, go to Network in the main menu. Then do as
>>532519474says. Each blitzserver game has a line like this under the map: games.beta.blitzserver.net:10116. Those are the IP and the port.
-Now you're in the game lobby! Click on the faction you want to play, then select the pretender you created before.
And that's it. Once the game starts, simply open the game again and go through the Network menu. The game will have been saved and you can just click there to access it directly. Enter your password when prompted, and you're in.
Also notice that you can click on the left side of your row in the blitzserver player list. It'll add a little visibility thing to that row. It just helps find yourself among a bunch other nations, and it turns red when your turn isn't done. Makes it easier to check if there's anything new when you're playing several games.
>>532521514Also, entering a game automatically sets the mods for that game, so you don't need to change them around manually if different games have different mods.
And once you're done with a game, hover over it in the Network screen and press the Delete key (not backspace) to remove it from the list.
And don't forget your passwords.
>>532521514You don't even need to do the first steps - you will automatically download the mods as soon as you are connected.
>>532523028yeah but using non-workshop mods on a Steam version for a game can sometimes be annoying. I did it once with the Nation Randomizer, but I can't seem to figure it out with Black Servent.
