This mod is based on the concept of recruiting normal units with magical gear with gold and resources rather than having to forge individual pieces of gear with gems.
Each nation will receive 4 spells in construction at research levels 1, 3, 5, and 7. These spells create a site in a fort that will allow you to recruit a certain unit armed with either a magic weapon, shield, or armor depending on the research level in. While the units are more expensive in gold and resources than normal recruitables, they do not cost gems to create. The duration of the site will depend upon how many extra gems you put into it, and will be lost if you lose the province or the fort.
Currently this mod is focused on the MA and has about half the units done for it.

Have as much fun as I did writing these descriptions!


This mod looks cool and fun, and I can either start a game using it right now and restrict nation sign-ups to the nations that are finished in the mod, or wait until it is finished. Whatever people think would be best!

I haven't actually tested it in-game, but when I scroll through the .dm, the unit numbers seem to not match correctly the sites and spells in the Item Unit mod

Not in any reasonable game. And certainly not early enough to affect the outcome.

If someone manages to pull off getting to research 10, they deserve to cast BoT, and the rest of the world deserves to suffer under it for letting them get into a position they could do that.

As I recall the trick is to have enough research to go from research level 8 to 10 in one turn, which is a stupidly large amount of research, especially in Dom 4. It's only relevant for construction though, as construction 10 is where all the event/rare province unique items are. Seeing as how none of them are that exciting it's more of a weird bug/easter egg than anything.

Dominions Four: The OP

This is the thread for Dominions Four, a computer game made by Swedish team "Illwinter" that you can buy on Steam. It's sometimes on sale.

Please talk about Pro MLG strats, mods you've made or run across, or games you're in (but not stuff like deals which lives in the PGS thread).

Do not talk about IRC drama (our IRC is here and is very important). We probably do not care if someone is elf double hitler in one of your games, either.

Have a wonderful time in the thread.

at least 3/4 of it is inaccurate because it's for dom3 and the rest is outdated or incomplete it's a pretty brutal thing to face down also we need at least 2 pages of text dedicated to hating people that don't irc even in singleplayer

It's not a very good OP it was written when I was much more prone to word vomit than I am now.


I think 90% of it can be cut, the biggest work part is updating the resources list and adding, say, links to common mods.

it was good when dom4 was new but now we're all angry bitter vets and everything we ever thought is stupid and wrong and we're trash for thinking it

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

After playing this game for a while now, it seems to be really hard to give strategy, because a lot ends up coming down to that particular game, the situations you're put into such as, which nations are IN the game, which nations are your neighbors, and when vanheim is your neighbor, did he decide to roll over you with blessed vanheres, or did he be friendly.


I mean, there's stuff like x/y/z nations SHOULD take a bless, or they should prioritize skeletonpocalypse etc. But after the first few "power slots" of a nation, it becomes a game of pulling some poo poo out of your rear end that your opponent does not seem to expect.

my 2 cents, I'm bad.

well yeah but for a brand newbie you don't really need to know much more than "skeleton good, ponyman good, roman bad" for your first couple games
