On the other hand, 5 water gems to get them on land in a LOVELY shambler skin suit (must be v. stretchy, considering they go from size 2 to size 4 with ease) without the risk of them becoming a prawn or something. e: also I think Desura's main site at least is dead, rip Desura. jBrereton fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Mar 19, 2016 |

twiceborn doesnt work if you drown, so you would have to find some other way to have your guy die than drowning on land. Luckily if you can cast twiceborn you can make a bane venom charm and just have it die of disease.

It used to be possible to register your Desura purchase on Steam and get your Dom4 downloads + patches on Steam - it's what I did, I bought Dominions 4 on Desura initially but haven't really interacted with Desura other than to use the Dominions 4 forum ever since. The instructions on Desura for doing so were the following: Google's cache of a Desura thread posted:Here are instructions on how to activate your Illwinter Desura keys on Steam. If Desura is really, truly, finally dead, I would personally try the key in the file 'dom4key' file in your present Dom4 install.

Game idea, needs a mod-person to make things for game: DragonPass Like ermorgame, but you can choose between EA Ulm and Marveni (with bloodsac removed) Magic sites are rare 4x3/4x2 thrones, twelve points to win No earthsnake Common events, normal income/supply, etc. Any other suggestions? Carcer's Caelum = DUCKPEOPLE suggestion has already been vetoed on account of Caelum not actually being birds.

If that's the case then it's a game engine issue (Thanks KObama) and not something moddable. I did not do a pretender rebalance patch, no.

Anyone have Helheim advice? First game with them, right now thinking Dormant 9x4x animal god of some type with high Order and Production. Another option is imprisoned statue of some kind, maybe beasts.

valks are good but really expensive, so as an alternative to something like b9e4 (which is good) you could try an awake monster if you're willing to get good with positioning and running a scales build. lean on huskarls adn mercs to expand then work into vampire lords/storm demons/BoT. otherwise you could do something like dormant ormr w9e4 dom6 o3c3g3 for max monies and blood hunting. or do dormant fountain for that sweet, sweet b9 and decent scales. most of the time putting your god in jail is a bad play because you get very little for all those extra turns you lose.

Melum posted:Anyone have Helheim advice? First game with them, right now thinking Dormant 9x4x animal god of some type with high Order and Production. Another option is imprisoned statue of some kind, maybe beasts. I've never played them, but ponymen nations tend to have similar strategies and looking at them in the mod inspector they seem to be a budget MA vanheim. If you have human-size neighbours, summon air elementals. If you have giant neighbours, cast thunderstrike (hopefully you get an a3 Hangadrott for storm casting). You don't have easy access to D2 so skelespam is limited to your StR guys. Probably don't rely on it. You can do fun stuff like wailing winds though. Svartalfs can make hammers. Helhirdings are kickass stealthy raiders - N9E4 bless will take you far, although it probalby won't help much with expansion. I dunno, I've never tried expo with ponies and I don't know if valks would cut it. Per the norm for ponymen, your main focus is to find decent indy researchers and just load them the gently caress down with air quills. You won't shitstomp as hard as dubbless EA Vanheim, but ponymen raiders can and will gently caress an enemy's poo poo up. Eventually you want to start the world's most expensive blood economy (lol vanjarls) and start cranking out storm demons. Someone please come along and tell me all the cool and interesting things I forgot to mention. E: ooh vampires gently caress I totally forgot about that. Make a billion of those. Probably get your blood econ going earlier than you might otherwise for that sweet twilight action

Tried a test game as the dormant ormr, went pretty well, so probably gonna do that. Seems pretty poo poo as a blood mage nation though. Going to have to spend a while empowering a hangadrott to do anything, it seems like. I do love bloodstones though...

Unless you win the lottery and find garnet zons or some other site that gets you recruitable blood, you're only going to have vanjarls for blood hunting. They are stupid expensive for a main blood hunter and also important for casting a magic in fights, so basically unless you've got a massive income you're not going to have the sort of blood income that can sustain huge blood expenditures. Mostly you'll be summoning a trickle of storm demons, as many vampires as possible (this cannot be understated. Make all of the vampires), and otherwise using regular tactics augmented by these.

Helheim has access to jotun wolves (and no native nature mages to cast it with lol), which are sacred and have fear and has a high conjuration battlespell to crap out a ton of valkyries. If you managed to get to that point you're probably gonna win but I personally have never managed to get them off the ground, but I'm a known Bad PlayerTM.

Break into nature with indie shitlords or in some other way. Cast brood of garm, draug (conj4), air elementals (conj5) and summon valkyrie (conj6 - 7 flying sacreds for one gem is incredible) Or you can go ench and spam the everliving poo poo out of pale riders and summon skelemen. Or you can go thau and utilize spooky magics before casting an early burden of time though this will reduce your options. Or you can go evo and do shadow blast spam + storm/tstrike. Regardless, go get const2 first, make a dwarven hammer with a cap mage and set some idiot to make an owl quill every turn for a very long time. Take magic 3 so you can recruit stupid indies to read books for you cause ponyman is for fighting not for reading books. Blood is your endgame but your ponymen and cool things get you there.
