The queens have mason too, don't forget about that. I think Vespika are one of the more obvious nations that are just simply way better than vanilla power level.

I mean it's worth saying that most other nations in this game are at least reasonably on similar power levels, I'm not calling the wasps OP in the context of this game. Just look at Clowns for example as a nation better than almost all vanilla nations.

Yeah, as a land nation it's always extremely reassuring when the UW nations immediately declare hellwar instead of, say, living in harmony since they're the only ones that can really hurt each other this early.

I'm pretty sure the actual problem was when beardbeard was deleting unused nations/items etc from the pack he accidentally deleted too much including the metal slug weapons - then ran domingler, which meant that domingler couldn't find the right weapon IDs, etc.

Specifically it's a Dryad from the nation Pan, which is a really cheap, efficient, and deadly mage-assassin (in vanilla anyway) that can just be given 2-3 gems and then with the right timing is almost unbeatable 1v1 and a few of them can wipe out entire stacks at a very low cost by sniping all the commanders in a province. This one has 50+ gems worth of gear. Also it has a flask of holy water, an item that looks like a water bottle (that contains the big water elemental) but very much is just a different item with a pretty minor effect. Finally, this image specifically is from one of the newbie lps, and the player at the time didn't know you could script assassins so instead the lethal and efficient Swarm, they presumably just self-buffed for 5 rounds and then died. e: oh also Ramc is a very experienced Pan player who has used Dryads to great effect many times, so him seeing this image of such an expensive and useless, well, use of them is me causing violence to him. gonadic io fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jul 1, 2021 |

Also FWIW the whole reason that "cap circle" is a thing, other than just territory/being vulnerable, is because you want max resources in your cap except that DOESN'T cross the water/land boundary so land provinces don't even count as being in a uw's cap circle even if it weren't for all the other reasons.

Against specifically rocks: not very. Rocks don't care about the pop loss and can spam earthquake, banish communions, the anti-undead astral spells etc. It's worth noting that we attempt to keep these mod games as relatively lowish power levels and for example the hellenika community absolutely allow ermor-style popkill nations (although hellenika is specifically EA). Dominions Enhanced allow them too but has events to bring back population when you take their provinces which brings me to my next point: IMO it's not even about power level, it's that it's incredibly unfun and unrewarding to fight over 0 pop provinces when your troops are constantly starving and costing gold.

Domingler is very good at exposing bugs - sometimes its own, sometimes in the underlying mod, sometimes just in the manual editing process (usually cutting nations out of bigger packs so they can be domingled). Sometimes even the game's itself as extremely weird things happen sometimes due to the janky parsing code and the silent entity limits.

It's also nice on resilient, low-ish damage troops (esp if they have ranged weapons) because it lets them still apply an actual threat compared to their 8 damage longswords or something. It's also very cheap.

Domingling is not too bad, the main hard part is if you want nations from 2 big packs you have to remove them which is a loving pain. If you have standalone nations or only one big pack it takes like 2 mins.

Fort battles are always way more dangerous than you first think, the AI for attacking wall defenders can get a bit weird at times. Also note that wasps have a super low max age, so decay especially destroys them.
