Not a regular poster here but dominions (in general) which is surprising considering all the shenanigans you can do to everyone in a game.

>create a second sun

>steal the sun

>summon lubed-up muscle-bound poojets in your army of possibly demonic monkeys

>have crazed men, whose only use fish as weapons, join your legions

>summon a legion of skeletons

>give your generals a set of copper arms so they can wield 4 weapons

>summon demons to rape your virgins and have them give birth to deformed children with the occasional chimera

>make crossbows and shields that can only poke out eyes

>make astral mages tupla force enemy leaders to death

>summon a succubus to seduce enemy commanders, only to find that the commander is gay

>become a literal KANG with an army of manlet negroe archers

>summon biblical demons that eat your population

>have a friendly hurricane that occasionally throws hurricanes at everyone else

>permanently shrink an enemy army

>give people leprosy

>give your generals two hearts

>summon literal gods that slaughter entire armies with one spell

>have a race of semi-aquatic baby-eating literal jew giants that practice blood magic

>poison the world's magic so that any one casting magic is attacked by the void

>remove your an eye off your god, so he can hit things with a bow that shoots disease

>send plagues to your enemies, only to have that very same plague come back to you

>recruit immortal pigs

>create volcanoes

>summon eldritch gods to do your bidding and later have them break free from your control

How come i dont see more threads about dominions? you think it is the graphics that turns a lot of people away?

and if you get bored, the steam workshop has bunch of mods too like warhammer, a clown faction, more spells and gods

I love this game but the slow pace of PBEM games will end up burning me out for a good 3 to 6 months. And I can't sit still long enough to enjoy a blitz game.

It's really a shame, the game is great but there's no good way to play it.

If I don't get a really fast lead, all games turn into a stalemate where I cant siege other factions to eradicate them because they keep pumping out units, but they cant do anything either. Magic attacks don't matter because they somehow get 200 new units every turn, I'm guessing they are magic units so they'll run out of gems eventually but all their lands around their cities are shitholes with no resources so my army dies on the siege. Otherwise it's cool

Once you hit the point where turns start to take that long, you really do need that much time. Unless you're playing a relatively simple nation like MA Ulm.


c2680d  No.16143236

>>16141208

not really, no. It's the same game aside from the combat being a bit more interesting due to them switching to realtime. But effectively all that translates into is a rebalance.

forgot to post

thrones were added in 4 and if you control the majority all of them or most you win

5 added a turn limit to controlling the thrones which get destroyed by horrors and the person that holds the last throne wins


4e7e16  No.16143317

What turns me off, aside from seeming complexity of it, is the fact that it is multiplayer only. Im pretty bad at those, and matches seem to take forever.


c0fe6c  No.16143333

Gib MA atlantis strats. I was thinking troop heavy with some summon supplements and raining acid.

>>16143317

>multiplayers only

This is a lie it has single player. Also if you play with like 1-2 guys me and some friends can finish in a night, or play enough where you know you could probably win if you really dragged it out.

04881a  No.16144643

>>16137983

And here's why you shouldn't

>singleplayer is just dumb AI cheating chaff doomstacks and casting random spells

>multiplayer requires 40 hours studying the meta to excel at

>vaunted magic system is actually gay as fuck because 2/3 of the spells are dogshit, including most of the evocations aka the cool shit you wish you could use

>multiplayer games take days or weeks to get rolling and months to complete, and multiple assholes will drop out over the course of it so whoever's lucky enough to be their neighbor can eat the dumb AI that takes over for them and get a disproportionate advantage

>largest and most active hub for discussion and finding games is run by a tranny and his clique, who is also one of the primary liaisons to the devs

>every incarnation of the game (see: major patch marketed as a sequel) costs $40 and only receives any kind of content update once every six months or so; game is perpetually buggy and imbalanced, with at least half of the nations in the game being shit-tier

>90% of the shit you look at and think is cool will either be bad or is only good in retarded, Tzeentchian schemes that have nothing to do with what drew you to the faction, like the frost giants' actual frost giants being crap and their main strength being to use their frost giant werewolf shamans as magic batteries for your old grannies to plug into so they can summon infinite skellies

I spent a long time learning the game and playing a few multi matches before I was entirely burnt out. The nations draw from a wide variety and mixture of historical, mythological and popular culture sources, which is quite cool, but that's the only truly good thing about Dominions.

Pirating it and playing its lobotomized single player in between learning faction lore off of unit cards is honestly the best way to go about experiencing it. Its gameness is designed with MP in mind, but the commitment and disagreeable autism involved makes that MP just not worth it.

WoW must be 3x better than Dominions, then. There are people who have been playing that for 14 years, after all.

>>16153208

>Like get big spells

That's the point. It's bullshit when you're a noob, then you realize 1000 random indie troops are worthless when you know how to magic and there's no challenge because the AI will never adapt to or counter your spells.

>By email yeah

They either take forever by email or you set aside an entire day for a blitz that will have end up having people dropping out by playtime attrition. Neither are great.

>use the big sacred giants

Good players will just nuke them with spells. You can only rush bad nations with no counters unless you're memeblessing Anakites, and that's a whole flavor of dumb of its own.
