jsoh posted:literally anything it doesnt matter Oh yeah. Well I was thinking about how they have MEGA STEALTH too but like, there's no commander with equivalent stealth so they'll never be as stealthy as that. But maybe you can get a sorta stealthy commander and then get him to wear some extra stealthy magic pants or w/e. But I guess patrol strength is cumulative not an average of course so just have a random monkey lead your condors around on a string and you're OK. As an aside, I noticed they're sacreds. If you have, say, a fire bless, and you bless guys who don't have weapons, do their claws and beaks catch on fire, or does it just not do anything?

you are not stealthy while patrolling anyway unless you have glamour, so if they are patrolling they are not sneaking. and yeah their beaks totally light on fire and its badass

Unless the sites are somehow triggered to "reveal" when you take it, which will trigger the initial event. I feel like having all sites already searched will result in the events try to fire at the start, but since there's no owner the forts/labs/temples/whatever don't get created. Just a guess though as I have not done any sort of testing!

I can in fact tell you already that one of the sites that should spawn lab/fort stuff does not actually do that, you get the other stuff from it though.

well the EA no secrets game I can for sure tell you one of the sites did not have a thing it was supposed to, although it could have been in the province before I took it, and taking it destroyed said thing for some reason, but it shouldn't have.

jBrereton posted:It isn't, you just reveal fort sites and oh look it's indies in a fort. Doesn't that require you to create an event for every site? I've been trying another method of revealing sites using the #revealsite command, but in my testing, #revealsite only works when the event specifies the site name at the end of the msg.

Here's a tip for new players: don't suicide your entire starting army, PG, and T1 recruitment into a throne province that you can "definitely take" after pinging with a scout. That's a Goon_Mod_Madness tip right there.

Funny thing: Forts that indies own have no defense outside it, so you can siege it with a scout and watch them slowly starve to death while you get half the province's income

So, I've been hinting for a couple of weeks that I had a mod nation in the pipeline. It's ready for balance-testing now, and is effectively feature-complete, just needs a little bit more flavor and some heroes to tie it into existing Dominions lore.  The basic idea was to have a nation whose random starting path would set the tone for the rest of the game, largely inspired by CoE but also by the fact that none of the vanilla summons can break you into an elemental path you don't already have (unlike the sorceries). I decided to make it MA, mostly because I didn't think it was magically powerful enough for EA, but too strong for LA. The troop lineup is fairly generic outside of the capitol, with Longspear, Javelineer, Archer, Light Cav, and two Heavy Infantries. Your only recruit-anywhere mage is a N1 50%N 25%SN with a little bit of fortunetelling. In my test games I ended up pretty deep in N2s, with enough N1S1 and N2S1 to get the necessities taken care of. Your other recruit-anywhere commanders include a troop-leading H1 priest, as well a troop leader for your magic beings and a resource-bonus dude with mundane research capacity. From of the Cap, you get four flavors of nonsacred elemental infantry and an ethereal sacred. The Sacred has homesickness, so you're not likely to use them much after expansion. But if you take a point or two of Prod, you should be able to poo poo a rainbow of hurt onto any attempted rushes. You also get an StR ethereal H2 50%S priest who should have no trouble taking on a couple points of PD with a little reinvig. Summonable troops are varied, but pretty much come down to a little blocker at Conj1, MagmaKid/Gnome/Sylph at Conj3, and a sacred at Conj5. You also get a scaling summon for the cap-only nonsacreds in Const. Finally, you can summon two levels of mages in the elemental flavors, costed so you can probably get a cheap one every turn or an expensive one every other turn and still afford the troop summons. I've set up a site-creating event so that you're only going to have good starting income for one element in each game, even though it's probably a good idea to look for ways to break into the others. Download Link Edit: Update 1.01 *Fixed dog fist, it now bites *Removed scaling on Snowmen *Fixed cavalry buckler *Fixed Pyre cat weapon mixup *Snowman has a nose *typos *fixed the filepath errors *gave stream snakes slimer since their bite doesn't seem to be working -still not working? Does slimer effect work for any vanilla units!?! *increased gems from 6 -> 7 on the event sites so you can afford more mages *added Statue of the Underworld to god choices, since there's no chance anybody would ever take it over Irminsul anyway *removed scaling from Thunder Hawks spell *set nametypes *upped fat damage on steal breath from 25 to 35, range & ammo from 15 to 20 *moved random apprentice summon from thaum3 to thaum4 *buffed stats & resists slightly on Snowman, Stream Snake, Wave Knight (water felt like weakest path) Speleothing fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 10, 2016 |

I installed the mod, started Dominions, and clicked on the Mod Menu. Dominions instantly crashed and killed my video card, disabling my monitor. I had to blindly Alt-F4 until I could get my PC to restart. It looks really good though, besides that. Edit: ok I got into the mod menu the second time, I don't know what the heck.

I think it was just a Dominions crash and not a yourmod crash. Dominions actually tells you what your errors are if you right-click the mod in the list. Yours are just the sprite paths:

I got unbelievably busy and also for some reason was thinking of doing it in nation order, which meant Ermor next. Which is a nation I really don't know that well and as such is hard to give people good advice about. But aye am off for a drink for a bit and will upload some more games of my LP and maybe work on some guides tomorrow or something.
