DOMINIONS, RISE OF THE PACHINKO MAN

Well what is this "Dominons" is it safe for my kids?
no

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy 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,
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Dominions is set in a fantasy world that draws inspiration from historical nations, cultures and myths. You will not encounter the elves of conventional fantasy in this game. Instead you might lead a nation of vanir from old norse myth. Aztecs, romans, israelites OY VEY!! , greeks, kievian rus and lovecraftian horrors are just a few of the inspirational sources of the game.

Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a strategy game.

>Dom6wiki: Mostly up to date information on Dominions 6, may have to reference 5's wiki
https://illwiki.com/dom5/start

>Blitzserver for hosting games
https://beta.blitzserver.net/games

This game is a hell of a learning curve but if it tickles your autism you are in for a treat. The game is split between 3 "ages" Early, Middle, and Late with nations rising and falling as time marches on. This includes the units they posses, magic they can use, and spells available. There's a ton of nuance into how you can play with the most powerful statement being "it depends".
The game is playable in singleplayer mode and I've been told the AI in 6 is good for a knifefight in a phonebooth but the game really shines in multiplayer. Much like Kenshi, getting your assbeat makes you more powerful when seeing what a living breathing person does to you. It's taught me the value of mages, thugging, super combatants and what kind of retarded blesses you can do.

There are a lot of concepts in game to wrap your head around such as thugging and item creation, including the intimidating stats screen for a unit. But don't let it stop you, the game is complex, not complicated.
And if you don't want that just play Mictalin with a hellbless and go to town before you burn up as a glorious phoenix. 

Go now my son, play Dominions, make mistakes, learn, and rise to become the true pantankoman!.

EA or MA sounds good, just do sloops & black servant mod on blitzserver. For every player add a level 2 throne and make the victory goal half of all thrones.
However, I think it will probably take some time to get the lobby populated (Ideally 10~ people). Since refugees are trudging through the various chans. There is also another domge general in one of them.

Can't hurt to try but might be a while before it fills.

Adding onto this,  I could get the game set up later when I get home unless someone else wants to do it. Water nations ok? Or do we want to keep it land only? I know water can be a pain in the ass.
>>274554
Worthy heroes is integrated into sloops. Same with fixed spellcasting mod I believe.

Water should probably just be restricted to 1-2 players.

Dunno where blitzmin is, you could add a link to the general in the lobby description if you want maybe he will drop by idk.

Here is a quick guide to basic template for creating a lobby, just follow the numbers. Remember to remove the lvl 1 thrones and add one lvl 2 throne for every player in lobby. Half of total throne points to win.

Remember to write admin password down somewhere because Anons have history of forgetting it for some reason.

Since it's random map it will just make 15 tiles per player joining.

I can't remember if it was EA or MA but either is fine with me. 

Also add in the schedule tab the limit on 1-2 water nations.

Gonna probably take a few days since Anon's are scattered a bit but maybe we can get a comfy game going.

Skill levels tend to be all over the place it's fine it's about having [spoiler] fun [/spoiler]

You should probably remove worthy heroes since that mod is already included in sloops. It might be causing me some issue because I can't connect properly. Or maybe you just need to connect first not sure. I'll try to resubmit my pretender tomorrow in any case.

Forgot memeage, I know this one got ported because I made a game in it (and promptly lost to being double teamed as Rell)

  Just play SP as much as you can. Read the descriptions. Try different stuff. Get terribly beaten several times, try again and then finally beat the AIs. Learn more about the game and come play in MP with other anons. And whoop their asses because they didn't spend nearly as much time on learning as you.
>>275662
if you hold shift and press question mark, the game will show you all the hotkeys that you can use in any given situation. There are different buttons for the overworld map, for the city menu, and in battle replays. They aren't strictly necessary to use but they can save a whole lot of time

Friendly reminder to allocate the appropriate amount of thrones before we start. Also remember to write down your passwords for tendies.

Also sometimes there is a staler on the first turn and 9/10 they never come back so it's better to just reset the game and kick them then restart should that happen.

We have 14 nations which is more then I expected, this should be a pretty good. I'm sure we are of varying skill levels with some of us being barely literate to others being Machiavellian schemers who have already won 3 times over on their heads. 

But it's not about winning, it's about having fun, or something like that.

Just submit the turn you, you... DOUBLE SQUIGGER
If the squiggers dont appear should we do turn timer or just rehost?
Blitzserver lobby has a functionality that allows you to return every player to lobby, then he can just remove the player and start again. It would just gen a new map.

I think host is giving the squids some leeway but it seems he is gone. If he is gonna have this much of a fucking struggle submitting turn 1 it might be better to just do it now and nip it in the bud.

Sorry for the (You) there, I misclicked reply instead of upload file. This marks the third pitched battle that I have had with the forces of Jotunheim, always ending victoriously on my side but with grievous losses. And so it was in this battle, with over 5 score Sun Guardians laying down their lives in a bold rear attack for the rest of the force to overcome the foul and frigid foes. The new core of the army suffered no losses, and yet gave many to the enemy; These reanimated archers and their Cynophalien partner unit, with Giant Strength and Flaming arrows, did smite the oversized foe, leaving many to die of decay or wounds received following their ignoble retreat. At last the giants are on the back foot, having no great forces afield but for 80 non-sacreds wandering about in the caverns, which will be dealt with swiftly enough by yet another contingent of archers buttressed by ground troops and bat wizardry. Nevertheless, with Lanka throwing their hat into this frosty war the future is uncertain, and only by a reinforcement of these banefire archer core shall they be removed at last from the lands to which they do not belong.

standard fare is a 24 hour timer for the first half of the game, typically the first two/three years, with extensions given as needed when people ask in the thread, then as the turns get more intensive the timer goes up to 36 or even 48 depending on the wishes of everybody who is still in the game

Independent counts have increased quite a bit from dom 5.
Basically 20% more population.
Sometimes I wait one turn to get my reinforcements
At least sloops make some of the starter armies more manageable, but you can still get fucked by the random hidden mage province. Though at the end of the day you can just bite the bullet and get the awake monster expander lol.

>Though at the end of the day you can just bite the bullet and get the awake monster expander lol.
Still risky. In single player it wasn't uncommon to see my pretender get obliterated because there was more heavy cav or barbarians than I thought, even with buffs. That or they would get some terrible affliction that makes it too risky to continue. So far that is what i like about Sloops, many of chassis have recuperation.

I'm always told that Atlantis is one of the weakest nations in the game. Sceleria, Man, Pangea, Asphodel, Jotunheim, Ashdod, Phlegra are probably are the more stronger in MA. But since people generally know this they tend to get coalitioned.

Blind expanding on turn 1 is rare and people generally advise against it, I meant waiting to turn 3 or waiting with main army to reinforce on turn 4-5 instead of expanding every turn.

I would assume scales can also work. They have some solid units that require decent resources. Since you have easy access to earth the can really hold the line of they're buffed. 

Your best sacreds are golems, so adding extra protection like ethereal with reconstruction. Not sure if Fortitude would stack, I assume so but I haven't played Argatha in a really long time.

They get the buff to constructs so a tendie construct, hard skin, reconstruction, in terms of offensive stuff I'm not sure maybe heat aura gotta watch out for positioning though.

Yeah. I was under the impression that you had another exit, so I was very confused as to why you were seemingly insisting on only coming out of that one particular hole. There really wasn't a way that played out without one of us killing the other very early, unfortunately.

Mictlan is around 30% bigger size than ctis, no idea what is happening on the northern side of the map.
My money is on Mictlan then underwater then whoever comes out on top in the ctis/nid/sceleria/ys conflict.

The north (asphodel/arco) could be a wildcard tho.

Another battle where we devastate each other but are left with scraps where we cannot make significant gains. Seems like i lose pound for pound, but fortunately i had more territory in expansion which helps facility more units.

Regarding the thread discourse about meta posting. I personally don't mind battle summary posting, but i don't like "threat" posting. I understand how some previous posts could be interpreted that way, and i want to apologise to Mictlan and UW nations for unintentionally drawing attention to them. 

I just wanted to start some discussion as there were not many posts, although in context i guess were are one of the more active threads on this board. And i guess i am not sure if this is a case where i just need to acclimatise to this site culture or push for more engagement within the thread.

well you killed all of his nidbathed. So there is that. You can tell your opponent's dominion score by how many scars they have. But I reckon they have 5-6 dom score.

Ahktually* scars are entirely dependent on what the Dominion score is in the capital, so if you have a h3 preaching you can get it to 8 candles thereby getting more scars, your national dominion score only affects how many you can hire and what your dominion will naturally climb to (among a few other things).

Well the options are:
A) Admin delays the game by 120 hours
B) Admin delays the game 72 hours (you only stale two turns then)
C) You find someone in the community willing to sub in for 5 days
D) Stale out for 5 days and hope you don't get rekt by neighbours.

Problem with delaying turns is that it risks people getting disinterested in the game and mass ai'ing, but personally I wouldn't mind if admin delayed the game by 72 hours so you only stale 1-2 turns, that's not the end of the world assuming you'd be fine with picking the game back up.

Second Sun really did help me out a lot, your giants being able to ski over the entire overworld and right into my frozen caves seemed to make me the slow mover that had to carefully respond and suffer raids. It has been quite a war, and though I doubt either of us will emerge the victor of the overall game due to attrition, it was worth it. And also pretty funny in that I ran Cold as a counter to Abysia in a cave war scenario, only to have you assail me at the height of an EAGartha gutting.
