Fat Samurai posted:I'm getting back into Dominions (Pantokrator help me) and don't want to think too much about pretender creation or doing anything fancy with communions in my next game. Is a Dominion 9 W9 Dragon with Order and Turmoil scales still the way to go with EA Pangea? Or has the Erfsnake taken over the Dragon as expander of choice? Earfsnake is usually banned, it's nuts and practically invincible. If you can take it you probably should, Dominion 9 E9 etc.

Dragons have 1 main path, are overpriced, have relatively low prot, and do not self heal. Basically any other properly combat-capable monster pretender is a better expander and ritual caster. No province will ruin a thrice horned boar or snek permanently (although it might kill them!), lot of them will do so for a dragon with a bad roll or two. Doubly so if they die. Washout posted:Earfsnake is usually banned, it's nuts and practically invincible. If you can take it you probably should, Dominion 9 E9 etc. Whatever you're fighting that can go through about 30 prot on an E9 snake, it'll probably go through Awe, so I don't know why you'd pair the two.

Asleep w9 or n9 (w/e chassis) or imprisoned with both.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Asleep w9 or n9 (w/e chassis) or imprisoned with both. White Centaurs and Vengeful Waters were the reason behind the W9. WC mean that I don't really need an expander with EA Pangea, but last time I played here I hit 23 provinces by turn 12 (and then proceeded to get dogpiled into oblivion for my hubris) and it was fun as poo poo. jBrereton posted:Whatever you're fighting that can go through about 30 prot on an E9 snake, it'll probably go through Awe, so I don't know why you'd pair the two. 50% more White Centaurs per turn. Not sure D9 is worth it just because of that, but it's an advantage.

Not that Pangea is bad in other ages, IIRC. personally i like w9 better than n9 but i don't disagree with anything monkee said. in ea especially you can lean on white centaur pretty hard for a long time. another thing to consider is something like b9 (or b9n9  ) and push into blood a bit harder than you might otherwise for stuff like demon knights, rain of blood, etc

 YOLO, etc... one of those blesses should be minor, probably. Edit: She does hit 12 provinces with no money events on the first year, though. At three white centaurs a turn. I could probably make an expansion party with only those and a priest. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Oct 3, 2016 |

t3s3g1 is going to be super rough on 12+ unless you can quickly eat a neighbor without getting gangbanged. if it were me i'd consider g3 mag1 instead. edit: fyi angry water was nerfed heavily and will mostly just mean you can be scouted. it's much, much less terrible to invade into now (unless most of your lands are near water)

Yep, that was a joke. I can't produce poo poo unless I get some extra income events regularly. I'll probably drop some luck and magic and one bless to minor to get some order/growth. Sloppy Milkshake posted:edit: fyi angry water was nerfed heavily and will mostly just mean you can be scouted. it's much, much less terrible to invade into now (unless most of your lands are near water) This, on the other hand, is sad. What did they do? Smaller Elementals?

I'll probably drop some luck and magic and one bless to minor to get some order/growth. it's doubling a bit on paths you already have but w9e4 is good and strong and my friend. a problem with suped up WC is that they still fall victim to crits and poo poo when they tired out while berserked and murdering 1000s of lil mans, a little reinvig helps that a lot. t3l3mag1 is actually pretty decent (caveat: i've never used it on pan). a not good but fun strat is to take f9 (kinda overkill depending on your match ups) and shoot for enchant6 after that all important alt research. cast eternal pyre and alch those gems until you get the conj research to make fire snek. Fat Samurai posted:This, on the other hand, is sad. What did they do? Smaller Elementals? yeah inland they are much smaller and have trouble killing stuff. in a recent draft game roland cast it and couldn't even reliably kill my ur scouts, let alone my wizards. note that s1 wizards will get brutally owned in assassinations so if you're fighting like marv or kailasa it'd be pretty useful if they are trying to communion you.

Apparently for summoning spells that increase the number of monsters summoned with the power of the caster, the lowest value you can have is 2++, which corresponds to 1000 in the mod file. Setting it to 999 (to try to get 1++) does this

jBrereton posted:What does 1001 come out as 2+1^paths or something? I thought that was the way to get 1+? I checked again and it looks like the number of monsters is paths + the bonus, eg with the number set to 1000 (no bonus), a spell requiring 1 Astral cast by a level 1 mage produces 1 monster, but a spell requiring 2 Astral cast by a level 2 mage produces 2.

Well my first MP game is going well. My prophet died to a freak slingshot on about turn 3, and right now it's turn 10 and my lab province just got taken over by demons due to a random event. Expansion is ... not going as quickly as expected. Having fun, though!

I cannot believe how quickly I burned out on dom4. I'm looking for subs for the following games, please: Almonds Ragha, mid to late game (turn 50?) in a decent position Amphibious assault a nationgen game, with amphib troops. Illithids and death magic, been in a durdling holding pattern for about 15 turns. Badthrones EA atlantis with bad nations only. This uses the mu throne mod so there are constant global +death, -income and other horrible events, but you are a strong astral/death power too thanks to thrones. Turn 35. Let me know on IRC if you want to take over these games please

I was worried about how to tackle Niefelheim with EA Pangea but apparently W9 White Centaurs can beat N9E4 Niefel Giants almost one on one (may be a bit of an exaggeration. Certainly 1:1 in gold spent) as long at the battle does not take place in cold scales. How does temp scales affect fatigue and cold aura in combat? I can't find it in the manual.
