MagnumOpus posted:With the sale today I finally managed to convince a bunch of my friends to pick up this game but half of them don't have SA accounts so I guess GGS is out for us. I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around the other options (Dom4Minions, Llamaserver, etc) and the hosting script pastebin in the OP is dead. Is anyone familiar with them that can compare their features and ease of use? Here is a FAQ on how to use the llamaserver. I like llamaserver, but that might just be due to 4 years of conditioning. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=1890 There is probably one for dom4minions but I don't use it myself so it would take effort to dig it out. EDIT: you might want to make sure that all of you have upgraded to 4.04 before sending pretenders, or odd things might happen! Burnsaber fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Jan 8, 2014 |

It would be even better if it was two-stage. First the comet smashes the 99%, and then the aliens come out and zap the rest.

No, clearly it causes major unrest for 12 months or so, plus turmoil and misfortune, because it makes the province unstable, THEN it has a chance to gently caress up the province gently caress up the province.

Hah, the nation specific pretenders always seem to have the best style. It's a shame I've never seen that one used. It's a great EN blesser, but does Machaka even work with an EN bless?

It can also be a beefy SC, as good or better than many of the Neters available to Machaka. Edit: Mindless can count for a lot. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jan 9, 2014 |

E/N is probably the best spiders double bless. Not sure if putting your eggs in the Black Hunter basket is a good idea, but if it is that bless combo works well for them.

I don't know any mage heavy nation that would turn their nose down at an E bless. You would have to get some shrouds though. Then again, Machaka does have the paths necessary for easy reinvig boosters, so maybe not. amuayse fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Jan 9, 2014 |

Wolfsbane posted:50% off on GamersGate all weekend. Fantastic, thank you!  I did make an account on GGS (same as my name here) way back when (~2 years ago), but can't remember which email I used when registering. I tried a bunch in the password recovery window but have not received anything back yet. Any advice?

What are other bless heavy nations people would recommend? When I think bless I immediately think jags so my expectations are skewed.

I'm curious about something: I hate Desura and have a Steam account that I love (because it's Steam). Didn't know the game was even ON Steam until just now. Does anyone have any luck in contacting Illwinter and getting the dev dude to exchange one for the other? I'd absolutely kill to consolidate it onto my Steam account in lieu of having to deal with Desura every time I want to install it. edit: goatface posted:You can transfer over to steam with the cd key you get from desura. No idea if it manages the updates properly though. Holy poo poo, that answers my question.

Each era has, like, a wildly different feel to it. EA is all magic, beasts, giants, tons-of-magic-paths-and-crappy-armour, with a lot of elemental magic. LA is significantly less "magical" and most nations have human troops, but significantly better armour, with a lot of death magic. MA is somewhere in the middle, with a lot of blood magic. Thematically, each nation pretty much either declines (e.g Abysia, Ermor) or civilizes (e.g. Bogarus, Pangaea) as time passes from EA to LA.

Gamersgate sale dropped the price below £10, which was low enough to get me to see if I'll get on with Dominions. I expect I'll love trying to figure out tactics and working out battlemagic, and then it'll come down to if I can get my brain around the grand strategy and put up with the micro.... I will be avoiding the freespawn nations, I think. Any reason I shouldn't use Man for my initial forays against the AI? I am under the impression they're kind of bad, but also that this shouldn't really matter for SP and I like the flavour. Oh and hi brainwrinkle, I'm an actual person, and stuff. edit: OK, having attempted to make an actual build for Man I probably figured out why I might not want to use them, namely that they don't appear to have any sacreds worth blessing so I can't exactly use standard Dom4 strategies. I have a bunch of non-StR mages (though I can see I may want some of the StR Crones eventually once I've got another fort up) which is probably a good thing but my basic troops seem fairly weak (I'm experimenting to find out whether the Logrian Warriors are better than my extremely generic Spearmen, not sure there's a huge amount in it). That would suggest I want an Awake SC pretender, but I can't do that and fix my total lack of magic diversity without pretty poor scales. My first attempt came up with something like Red Dragon, F4 D3 Dom 7 Turmoil 1 Production 3 Drain 1, which doesn't seem quite right but eh, it's a first attempt. What did I miss?

First off, go Drain 2. There's no downside for your researchers and you get more points. Second off, bless strats aren't really "standard" so much as "important to be able to deal with", and Man has a good answer to them in the form of Tower Guards that let you play your own game. No one really wants to throw themselves against a wall of heavily armed/armored crossbowmen and they'll all-purpose enough that if you just make them and set them to hold position and fire you're probably going to do fine in the early bless rush phases with only a reasonable amount of support. Third off Wait are you MA or LA

I don't think you ever really want to take off paths with dragons. Also, which age? I think MA has wardens of Avalon, which I believe are pretty solid sacreds.

Hey, just picked this up after playing Dom3 single player a bunch. So, is there a mod browser for Dom 4 similar to Dom 3? I seem to recall someone posting it many pages back, but can't find it. It would probably be a good resource to add to the initial post, if so.

When you say a mod browser, do you mean the unit/item/spell list "mod inspector" thing? http://dom4editor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/inspector/index.html Otherwise, I don't know if there's any mods out for Dom4. Eagerly awaiting CBM, though
