Yea, dominions is hard because every nation has a different set if options and plays differently, and to master it you've got to know them all pretty much. You csn ease yourself into dominions easily, but it hss a very high skill ceiling. EU4 (as someone who has been 1000 hours in it) front loads all the complicated stuff much more thsn dominions, but it's also got good UI and competent AI

welp, Eriu has gone AI in surroundedbyenemies. My fault. I decided to go all in on fighting Ermor early, and didn't put enough effort into keeping Pangaea off my turf. Teach me to be a buddy to the other teams.

Coin posted:welp, Eriu has gone AI in surroundedbyenemies. You didn't put anything like enough effort into fighting Ermor, which is why Pangaea had to liberate your territories as a thoroughfare to get to Ermor, which was on your capital due to Mistakes. If it's any consolation, the largest faction is now a glamoured underwater nation, the anti Ermor coalition was dissolved due to TC getting too randy for Pythium's provices to wait 5 turns until Ermor was actually really well and truly dead, and the throne requirement is about 90% of them, so the game would have been utterly miserable even if you'd have chosen not to keep attacking Pangaea with indies/Ermor in your back yard.

I helped form a grand 'Kill Ermor' alliance, and mailed the participants soups because I didn't have any borders with Ermor. By the time Ermor was dead, so was everyone else and the last remaining people AI'd because they didn't want to manage their poo poo anymore. Kind of hollow, but that's my story.

It's not that they were good/great, it's that they make the game loving miserable, they aren't (or weren't) a bad nation by any means, but they aren't spectacular they just spread super AIDS across the world. They kill all population which makes their provinces worthless to every other nation except for gems, which basically fucks the nations living near them because they spread their awful AIDs into their neighbors, their neighbors now attack them, but the provinces they are taking are worthless and they're bleeding troops/money. Now it took 3-4 nations to kill ermor quickly, but those nations are weak as gently caress now and get eaten by the other 4-5 nations. Congratulations you just punished half of the players in a game for killing the most annoying nation.

Is there a way to view a nation's full description and units before you choose your nation, or do you just have to check the rulebook first? I've been getting into the game a lot lately, and my only real issue with it is having to confirm your nation before you get to see the full description screen, unless there's something I'm missing. Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I've been looking all over the rulebook and the internet to see; it seems like something really simple that you should be able to do.

I think you can also preview nations in the pretender creator in-game.

5.12, fixing some bugs (and some heroes added?): General Battles could overwrite previous battles resulting in confusing reports New heroes (Members of the Third Tier) New divine epithets New random events End turn warning also on expiring mercs and empty research queue Quickness was too quick when attacking Global message for Theft of the Sun New prophet proclamation message More popups Don't show inspirational icon for non-commanders Don't show spell singer icon for non-spellcasters Lower combat speed in swamps Rearmost target more reliable (but still not perfectly reliable) Fields of the Dead was only half working It was possible to target rearmost with hold and fire Fix for text highlighting in commander tokens Small delay before firing missile weapons Improved early movement anticipation for ranged units Innate casters no longer cast spells after battle has ended Far Caster blessing works properly now The last killing poison damage (green numbers) was not show in battle, fixed Fix for load/save with many maps in map editor Unique titles for disciples as well Mekone can cast Sow Dragon Teeth too Event fixes Stat fixes Typos fixed Modding Fix for #divineins

For now, yes (combined with discord generally). I'm working on a discord bot to replace it though since it's out of date (but still mostly functional).
