It's hard to invade someone when all your mages get sniped by vengeful waters the first turn you hit >5 enemy domcandles. Note also that domspread has changed, so it's not possible to spam temples to get your domspread % over 100 anymore, meaning that pushing away poision dom is hard. Also horrors.

Pierzak posted:Can you elaborate on what exactly gets drafted and what's the pool to choose from? This mode is news to me, especially if things like kinds of PD get drafted too. It's not a "mode", per se. Generally the person organizing the draft will provide rules, categories, pools, exclusions, etc and then once the draft has completed said person will cobble every draft nation into a mod that is distributed to each player.

TravelLog posted:Would it be possible to get an explanation of EA, LA, etc? Acronyms, meaning Early Age, Middle Age, Late Age. Each age has different nations to choose from, and in a normal game only nations from similar ages can play against each other. Each age tends to be less magically powerful, but more technologically advanced or socially regressed than its incarnation in the previous age. Most nations have a 'story' that you can follow across ages.

Gridlocked posted:A thought just occurred to me. There's a lot of guides on the desura forums that tend to be universally poo poo. There's been a bunch of guides of varying lengths posted in the main Games thread here, but they are sorta scattered across the thread. The lack of a wiki as a central information repository is unhelpful.

Hi, I'm ChickenWing. I am uninteresting in every way and won't subject you to an effortpost that's completely irrelevant to this thread  Monkee/Hatwer/ILU are the best active players in the dom4 community. Notable inactives are Flavahbeast and TheDemon, although I don't think I've ever shared a game with either of them.

You are only an Official Gamewinner (tm) if you are the sole surviving human player. My second game ever ended with a joint me/someone else win because neither of us could be arsed to play an additional 50 turns in what was already a 140 turn game. Because of this, I am not an Official Gamewinner. If you don't care about winning games, cool, do whatever as long as you are at least making an attempt. Also note that if you make a habit of playing second fiddle then literally everyone will hate you and you will be summarily booted from most peoples' games because you are not fun to play with. We're not a big enough community that you can get away with ruining games like that.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Not really imo. The other gemgen, resistance, affliction and regeneration changes are enough to get rid of the uber-thug meta of dom3. All the removal of the large discount did is make the hammer less useful overall and take longer to pay for itself, to the point that I do not generally craft them beyond the third year unless I specifically want to spend Earth gems in order to save another type. This is rare because I have no difficulty finding good places to sink E gems. On the other hand, it makes hammers less *necessary* - from everything I've heard, it seems like in dom3 either you had hammers or you were literally a second-class pantokrator.

Feinne posted:One interesting diplomatic situation is Morlockia having one of Baudin's cap circle provinces. Baudin would not be unreasonable in asking him to cede it, and unless Morlockia is actively planning to attack the expectation would be that he will do so. Generally people will now ask for an "indy-clearing-fee", some small arbitrary sum potentially plus the income they might have received over the next couple turns if the province is particularly valuable. I know I've started a war over it before, in roughly this same situation.

Libluini posted:Ironically, you can prevent this poo poo with scripting. Scripts for firing allow archers to stop firing and start advancing until they can hit something else instead. (Of course they could still all miss and hit their own troops, but that's how the cooky crumbles sometimes.) Because PD scripts exist

Neruz posted:Finally we have the Celestial Hound which most people will recognize as being those weird lion-faced dog statues that tend to show up outside Chinese temples, these guys are the only one of the 3 Celestial TC summons that I think is actually ever worth getting, not for combat because they're not very good at that but for patrolling as they are flying and have a +10 patrol bonus. Of course no era of TC has blood magic so they don't really need patrolling, but it's the thought that counts This is disgusting and shameful. Celestial Hounds with a w9 bless (like you should have for your wot5es) will gently caress poo poo up. I've had great success with CH + CM raiding parties.

Literally the only case in which you do not want to do this is if your dude is already E10 or something, or there's a t1 spell you need to get off. Otherwise, the pathboost+reinvig is the best choice

God that game was ten different kinds of poo poo. I had two regular connections out of my cap, one of which was a level 2 throne - this after remaking the map once because I'd started with my cap adjacent to another player. Despite this, elephants carried me to one of the highest province counts early. You can see me peak in the early bit, being tied with Vanheim and Jotunheim behind Pan. Unfortunately, I was never really able to bring all that to bear - I was constantly being nipped at by my neighbours, and bled troops like a motherfucker. I was able to fend off Vanheim and Nazca reasonably well with mercs, a cut off retreat, and some evocations, but when Asphodel went AI his remaining armies decided to retard smash me...and therein I learned that plant elephants are proper bastards. I lost three major engagements to asphodel and their goddamn carrion beasts, including significant numbers of mages. Around that point, Nazca put up Burden of Time and I had my second fort sieged. I decided then that this game was nowhere near worth giving a gently caress about anymore and went AI.
