Hey, so you also draw roads in some provinces? it has to be done now by the map maker. Also,it would be nice an option to control map size,like in the official one.

Yeah I think they tweaked the spellcasting AI to use a bit more of a range rather than just cheap spam all the time, but it seems like it's a little stupid about it. I had a mage straight up kill himself in one shot by casting curse of stones at the full 300 fatigue cost.

Against my better judgment, some part of me really wants to get back into this with the new game. Thankfully I cannot afford to get it right now, sparing me the suffering of playing Dominions once more. Lucky me. The new stuff really does look good, though.

Arrows should move a lot faster now that you can dodge them. actually, does the speed boost from blessings and poo poo affect projectiles too? or just guys running around very fast

Been watching DasTactic's side-by-side comparison of Dom4 and Dom5. I might cave in and buy it  Some of those quality of life things at pretender creation look pretty great.

I just got this game, and copied DasTactic's tutorial build i.e. MA Jotunheim. I tried to adapt it for a bless build with regen and enlarge but am getting extremely annoyed by the fact that my prophet is the only H3 caster. Is there another way to mass bless troops, or am I stuck with a single army plus all the Skaggi thugs I can shroud?

This is one of the slightly obscure mechanics that stumpt new players: There are three basic ways to bless your sacreds: -Your mere Pretender presence on the battlefield is an automatic bless to everyone -H3 priests can cast Divine Blessing. -Other priests can cast normal blessing. It's an area of effect spell (so not one at a time like a peasant). It's recommended for your sacreds to have 'hold and attack' orders, so they have time to receive the bless.

A bless is an aoe effect. More if the priest is H2.

pretender still blesses everything on your team every turn outside of your dominion, it just loses the bless effect on itself.

Sloppy Milkshake posted:ktifox lp turn 23: finally all twelve of my provinces have 100 pd. the trick to make this happen is to actually take turmoil 3 and luck 3 because then you get ton of money events while still having enough points for your other scales to not suffer  also i sadly can't afford the game right now but when i can darn skippy imma buy it edit: also i originally in my very first game was not aware of PD at all and never raised it any which lead to hilarious defeat almost instantly. luckily, i learned from that and grew from a new player into one that hates vine shields and aoe attacks.

nessin posted:After playing three games against the AI yesterday I remembered what ultimately made me quit Dom 4, being unable to figure out exactly what was going wrong when it goes wrong. Dom 5 helps a bit in this regard, but it's still really difficult at times. For example, my last game I was playing Tian'Chi (name might be off, it's the nation with the Five Elements sacred units that are ambidextrous. I had a magical weapon bless with a few other minor bonuses, notable animal awe from a throne, and I was fighting Sauromatia (also probably wrong name) that was fielding lots of small hydra's with these insane cavalry that had partial invulnerability. My army was mostly the sacred units, heavy infantry with spears and shields, with Celestial Dogs and Demon of Heavenly Fire summoned units. Oh, fair interloper, welcome! Yeah, if it's anything like Dom4 then basically if you don't have a lot of time to read guides and/or bug the goons on IRC to figure out the deep game, you're toast. If you can't even look up spells and figure out how they're synergising with unit stats to let the AI beat you, you're even more toast. By mid to late game you should be relying on ultra-powerful thugs, summons, cheese tactics where you wipe out most of the battlefield with a single spell, etc. You definitely should not be still be relying on your regular troops in a meat grinder style battle. This is a bad game for uber-nerds (just ask the experienced players in this thread, if you can make sense of what they are saying).

it should be noted that due to the changes of real time battles, as well as some spells (notably the ones that kill entire battlefields) being slower than others its much harder to have one spell end a fight instantly than previously, unless that spell is divine blessing.

Also, you don't necessarily need to hold/attack sacred units, and it might not be advisable, in some testing with notable underpowered nation VANHEIM, I just ran my sacreds with attack and my blesser always hit a pack of 10 of them without fail.

Turning water gems into pearls at 1:1 takes a mage-turn.  like, it's not bad, obviously, and rolling pearl mages until you hit the 25% 3W1S option isn't a terrible idea because your only other 3W mage is 1/16 of your princesses, but still disappointing Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Here is clowns.dm and theclowngame.dm for Dominions 5. jBrereton already ported clowns to Dom5 for me, but my update includes several new names for clowns, including the name 'Trump' in perhaps the most devastating piece of political satire of the modern era.

I think the Dominions world is one full of strife and war, I don't think even outside of Pantokrator wars is a peaceful world to be, and Warhammer like Dominions has a 'sword & sorcery' vibe (lizardmen, savage barbarians, chaos with mutated suff and demons, etc).

Now I want to see someone play a Dominions style game of 8e. You deploy completely blind. You write two turns worth of commands for your army during your blind deployment. After those two turns, they run, shoot, and cast basically at random. Why did my Skink Priest just put a Comet of Cassandora on top of the unit of zombies right next to my Slaan and Temple Guard? Why are my Saurus Warriors turning a flank to that unit of Blood Knights? Did my Slaan just cast Wildform on a unit of Chameleon Skinks?! There's some shared themes, mostly the two very broad ones of "high fantasy" and "battles." Describing Dom as a video game version of WHF is highly misleading. One is a pure tactical game, the other is nearly pure strategy.
