In general as EA Ulm you have a ton of early troop buffs in E, like Strength of Giants (+4 strength, so +4 damage per attack) and Legions of Steel (handy versus archers), debuffs like Destruction which delete enemy armour, or Earth Meld which hold enemies in place, plus later on you ways to clear unarmoured mages with Rain of Stones at E3A1 on Warrior Smiths (even at E1A1 this is possible in vanilla, you use 1 gem to cast Summon Earthpower, and then two to cast Rain of Stones), and good damage spells like Magma Eruption, plus a little bit of potential skelespam on top with your light D casters. You can also Flaming Arrows with any Warrior Smiths you get at F2, although if you're using unshielded troops without Arrow Fend up it might not necessarily be a great idea. I'd get the basic magic down pat before worrying about thugging and so on. Learn what the first 4 or 5 levels will do for you/your enemies and go from there.

I would say that overall through the beta and into right now I have come to like misfortune and at least minor order/prod/growth (like O1 at the very least) when I always used to run L3, because the turmoil events you can get despite running luck now are so devastating that it's pretty much never worth it anymore.

Van/TNN is the best at sucker punching people since they can't see your glamoured stuff, and especially in dom 5 you can sneak through a prov or too as well on turn 0 of your mega stealth attack, which is extra nice. Pan you can sneakily move, but as soon as your 400 guys are surprisingly not obviously on the border anymore there is only one place they can be (unfortunately for wily people who notice this, 400 pan men will obliterate any kingdom).

Fort/Regen is almost unquestionably The Best One, since you get a big prot bonus on your pretender as well as slash/pierce/blunt res, and N7 regen stacks with spell regen to provide A Lot of regen inside your own dominion at ench 2/Conj 4. It also never really goes out of style as a troop buff since Temper Flesh is not easy to replicate on a lot of stuff. The one downside is you get a sort of mediocre banish/smite compared to N. jBrereton fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 2, 2017 |

One of the main differences between Dominions + Civilization is that the game map actively degrades in quality most of the time, and there isn't a lot you can do to fix it up (particularly if there are domkill nations on the map, which is one of the reasons they're usually banned in MP here). Research is almost exclusively about widening your options in battles. There are like a handful of ways to improve the map/outputs with spells, including nation-specific gold/resource enchantments, but in the base game you can't have your commanders build a farm that consistently adds pop, or a mine that adds resource output/gold or similar. If you got a little bit into modding you could change that pretty easily, but especially before the new Cataclysm game-ending condition, the worsening map is quite an important way that games have a natural end, which is I think why people didn't tend to add such things.

Here is a mod, which makes Vamp Lord/Count/Lichcraft/Call the Worm That Walks/Wraith Lord into transformation rather than summoning spells. Ideally, this would preclude undeads/lifeless/mindless casting it, but that is not possible due to #spec values not stopping 10130 from affecting mindless, lifeless, or undeads casting things as of this patch. Maybe that'll change, but for now it still cuts down on vamps in particular drastically.

This is an update for the old Allied Rec mod for Dom 5. What is Allied Rec? You put a basic commander (almost always the cheapest 1 rec point commander - an exception is Erytheia, who uses their cheapest Amphibious commander for this) on top of an ally's fort, and a site spawns, allowing recruitment of 3 different troops from your nation. If they leave, the site goes away. Mainly they're medium infantry/archers, but it does mean that for example allies of Caelum will get access to flying troops, or Abysian allies will get access to units with heat auras.  Main snag is that you can't give Wait orders to units stationed in friendly provinces, so you will end the turn with an idle commander warning, but that's out of my control.

Here is a new and wondrous mod that adds a bunch of things to Yomi to make them a) more interesting, and b) better What specifically does it add?: - Prophetshapes for their commanders. Phophetshaped Bandit Leaders get pillagier, Bakemono attract their friends, Demon Generals can build fortresses, Shugos attract 2 Kuro-Oni per turn, and Dai Oni allow you to recruit a new sacred oni in your capital. There is a turn 1 event to remind you of this (press i on your capital if you ever forget!). I could not make it t0, I think. - New fort recruits. Attendants are guys who are trying to show off to the Oni, and are high quality if not very well armoured naginata troops. They are only 11 gold instead of about 15ish because the nation still only gets 75% income (I cannot mod this). Ritualists are sacred and have censers which do poison damage, but they get shot up rather easily and are quite recpoint heavy on a faction with bad forts. - Bandits and Bakemono are cheaper where there is Turmoil. Since Turmoil can be a complete disaster in Dom 5 but the faction is supposed to have it, I thought this was a reasonable idea. The faction also spreads turmoil even without End of Weakness up. - Oni have Slothpower as they always should have. - Demon Priests now have 5 RP and divine inspired researcher (a bit like an MA Man Monk), and Namanari are reduced down to 1 commander rec point and are recruitable in swamps as well as Highlands without a fort (but are also down to 5 RP). There is a new Mountain Sage who is recruitable in mountains for 105 gold and 2 comrec. A1 100% (AEND) means you get native access to Karasa Tengus. - Namanaris can turn into a W2D1N2 mage called a Yomotsu, which is a spy, with a spell you can cast in swamps for 12 gems. This means you can get Nushi later without building your pretender to do it. - Some new events that promote using the Raid command. - Your start army is now 15 Ko-Oni and 10 Oni.
