Killing MA Ermor with you and Kitfox on our newbie game still ranks among my best Dominions moments. Especially considering grizzled veterans can't seem go long enough without backstabbing each other to not get swallowed by skeletons.

So true, I lived long enough with Ulm to summon hundreds of vampires because people backstabbed each other, also ramc was afraid of iron blizzardss

Taking the Air go fast bless x5 gives your units +150% combat speed. Taking Water's quickness adds 100% combat speed, and these will stack and multiply together to get up a total of 5x combat speed if you take them both. In totally unrelated news, Helhirdings wielding light lances were seen doing 50 base damage on their first hit after a charge earlier today.

It's really hard to get my head wrapped around the changes. So much of the Dom4 metagame was based on an array of overpowered options nestled among literally thousands of trap or niche options. Well, every single option has shifted in power - not just because options got tweaked, but because the battle, movement, and recruiting systems all got changed. Dom5 is familiar in structure but feels drastically different in the details. The fact that the old army-killing battlefield nukes are nerfed is a titanic change imo, and that's just one example. Also, reposting for the new thread: I made an alternative to the built-in map generator. It's much more restrictive in options, but as a result it won't gently caress your start location horribly. Also it looks different.

The second thing I did was make a Marverni pretender with +unit size and as many stacks of +unit movement speed as I could fit. I call it the Rocket Propelled Boar Launcher.

Honestly quite liking Erytheia, the amphibious nation I posted about earlier. Scripting their mages is infuriating because there are entirely too many possible path combinations (as opposed to, say, playing Ctis and going "95% of you morons will be summoning skeletons forever", but by the same token you can pull a lot of weird bullshit out of your rear end. edit poo poo it was in the other thread quote:

GreyjoyBastard posted:also unscripted archers are smarter little fuckers than before Yeah they pick targets better, although moving units seem to be able to outpace incoming projectiles which is dumb. Arrows should move a lot faster now that you can dodge them.

Is there any compelling reason for me to care about production-related scales when playing as a race like e.g. Lemuria that doesn't produce units the conventional way? Obviously Magic and Luck scales still matter, but as far as I can tell there's no reason for me to not go 3 Sloth/Turmoil/Heat Scale and take the -income/supply/resource hits. If I'm playing as a Blood Fountain for example, that gives me 985 design points to play with and I can then take 10 Domain, 3 Luck/Magic scales and have 598 design points left over for magic paths. I think the only downsides I'd have to deal with as Lemuria are: -3 Unrest which is easy to counteract in the long run with defense score -0.60% growth which means 0.6% fewer people being born to later die and come back as ghosts? Less gold for buying defense score and castles which would be the biggest problem, but since I'm not spending it on units maybe it would work anyway? Is there something really obvious that I'm missing here? Despite playing Dom4 a lot I still have no clue how these games actually work deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Nov 29, 2017 |

^ you pretty much read it correctly, gold scales dont matter at all for lemuria since their dominion kills the poo poo out of everything anyway. tank it for design points. Also probably take cold over hot since it improves your commanders chill effect.

Already got 12 hours in this after going through a dom4 phase a while back I had heard that you could now queue up movement across multiple turns but I can't figure out how. I had barely started learning what magic was good in 4, any knowledgeable dudes know whats good in 5?

To queue more orders (movement at least) hold alt then click.

By default, multiple turn move orders aren't enabled in the preferences for some reason. Turn that poo poo on.
