Fools luck let's you ignore a fatal blow like luck, but increases the crit chance of the next hit. Then if that fails it resets. Golems are immune to horror marks because they're mindless, horrors feed off feelings of suffering and pain and an unthinking unfeeling golem has no nutritional value

Also there is another LA game starting up for those that are interested, this game is modded with the new worthy heroes and better arena for dom5.

is there a way to piratefag this to play with fags on multiplayer or whatever, or is the key-based DRM too strong for the crackers yet?
78551f No.14017777
>>14017401
You talk like a complete jackass but the answer is you can only play multiplayer if your pirated version matches the most up to date version and not enough people care enough to keep up with the updates, which are frequent.
5452d6 No.14017938
>>14017777 (checked)
Last i tried, the piratefag version for doms5 and the latests updates to doms4 had a bug where you can't play with other people who are using the same pirated version because the supposed crack just copies the DRM key to validate your game and the game checks on multiplayer who did each turn with said key. Meaning that if two people with the same key do a turn, the server goes on an infinite loop and then crashes due to a key conflict.

It wouldn't because anyone still connecting to the game, or emailing a turn will have the same key as their identifier. When multiples of the same key are detected that way the game will hang the players turns and claim they're cheating

Isn't adding solar weapons bit of a null point if you are adding magic weapons too? I'd probably have tried to increase defense skill and protection values of those units. Bark-skin and swiftness perhaps. Those are idiotically expensive units and thus trying to minimize losses of those units might be worth prioritizing. Which brings me to another question, is there any way to repair armor of regular troops?
9d575f No.14064547
>>14063032
Armor will be automatically repaired at the cost of province resources during the next turn if there is enough.
As for the point on Solar Weapons, it isn't a null point nor is it a null point for any "weapons" type bless to combo it with Magic weapons. Magic weapons turns the damage type to magic which means it cannot be resisted by Ethereal, Invulnerability, Mistform and such. The effects of "weapons" type blesses are procs on hit, so in order for their effects to take place you have to hit the target first which Ethereal, Invulnerability, will negate well enough
EX. If you attack an ethereal target with mundane weapons with unholy weapon bless and miss. the target is unaffected by unholy weapons special effect, if you attack with magic weapons and it hits then they are targeted by the effect
Solar weapons will just give the anakites some extra punch, especially against undead/demons

5HP/turn and affliction resistance does a lot more for survivability than 8-9 (diminishing returns when stacked with base protection) prot, especially when you'll have lv3 earth mages to cast Marble Warriors and eventually Army of Gold/Lead eventually, which override Barkskin.
Like >>14064547 said, armor is repaired after battle and the more resource-intensive version of those giants come with magic armor/shield that can't be fucked by acid and whatnot.

Not in the game, no.
http://www.illwinter.com/dom5/docs.html
The manual's available online. Most spells have their exact effects spelled out in the tables section.
Use Dom4 inspector
https://larzm42.github.io/dom4inspector/
for specific units/items/etc. The dom5 inspector exists but is woefully incomplete and with lots of wrong numbers, so the dom4 one is more accurate despite being a game behind. If you want to see if a unit has changed between games, Create a Pretender God is the fastest way to check national rosters.

I'm getting the hang of the game I think but formations puzzle me a bit - How do I make sure my archers won't run into melee? I have piikemen in a double line which works well with the archers and mages behind them but they don't seem to stand and shoot.
eb5f7f No.14069514
>>14067872
Units with ranged weapons and no specified orders should prioritize firing until they run out of ammo or an enemy enters melee range before they switch to melee. Are you setting them to an order including 'Attack'? That forgoes ranged altogether and forces them to use melee only. You want orders involving 'Fire' for archers and units with ingrained ranged attacks like Mind Blast.

I mean, maybe in times of peace I just buy 25, but if there's an enemy coming, I increase everything in their path to 50.
I'm not even sure what the problem is.
With 6 forts constantly building troops and priests building temples, I still make too much money and if I don't spend it, it just piles up.
Having 12.000 gold on your account doesn't stop armies. PD does.
It usually makes sure those 350 units only reach your capital with 110 at least, at which point your 200 can fight a very fair and honest battle.

>I only play against AI: the post
though even the new AI is probably smart enough to build armies that roll unsupported chaff
384fe7 No.14077937
>>14076286
I didn't say they don't get rolled.
No priests (or crappy one's), no mages (or crappy one's) and mediocre units with no summons.
Of course PD gets steamrolled by any serious force. The point is the attrition.
The A.I. in 4 feared 30 PD like it was expecting 3000 units but in Dom 5, they actually take on PD withou much fear, so fencing yourself in with PD isn't viable anymore.
But my previous post is the experience I have playing against humans: people underestimate the loses they incur from PD (and in Dom 5, if someone survives the battle but is injured, you'll either have to wait a turn to move the army again or lose them to the wound).
I always bought more PD than anyone I've played against because I never knew what to do with the mountain of gold I get every turn.
Trust me: if I could turn that into gems, I'd do that in an heartbeat.
But the only game I wasn't bleeding gold was when I had 25 forts pumping units. Give or take 10 turns and your armies all start starving because there's not enough supplies anywhere on the map. Move an army? THERE'S ANOTHER THERE ALREADY. And they're already starving.
I really want some saved games from the people here, just see how does everyone run out of cash and can't shell 5000 gold for a shitty troop that will nevertheless take out 40 or so dudes from an invading army.

I build army constantly while expanding, and build the best researchers. Once i have some research down, I build the most expensive thing that I want (most nations have some 300-500g cap-only mage). All surplus gold goes into forts and labs/temples in those forts. The more forts/labs/temples (if sacred mages) I pump out, the more mages I can have on standby researching. Mages win the tech war when they aren't fighting and win the war war when they are, so I blow everything I get on them or things to get more of them.
Fuckhuge PD just isn't worth it unless you're in dire straits and about to be invaded by a 50/50 outcome force or something. The exponentially increasing cost means by 30 or so you may be spending more per unit than you would on the actual unit (or, more likely, a better, higher-res version) who you can script and move around. Your example of 50 PD is 50g for what, 2.5-3 units? Static, unscriptable units who you can't move out of the way if your force is needed elsewhere.
Lots of army comps suffer little to no losses from PD. Soldiers that hold while mages summon elementals or skellyspam that take any real losses the soldiers incur, or just overwhelming pressure from range/memeblessed units that suffer minimal attrition from shitty militia-tier PD.
High PD has niche uses in desperation but it's probably the worst thing you can be dumping your gold into.

You'll be unable to summon the Nushi anyway natively unless you build your pretender with the paths to do so, or luck out on Jade Amazons (she would be pretty good if could be summoned natively, but as it stands she's shit)
The Red Oni's are so much better than the Blue ones in terms of versatility, but again if you had more access to water magic as a nation having spells like Grip of Winter on top of their frost attack for the extra fatigue would stop any army dead in it's tracks.
