Finnish Flasher posted:In general, what are good counters for combat-pretenders or sc's? Or thugs to a lesser extent The trick is to look at them and see what defence they are lacking, usually there aren't enough equipment slots to protect against everything. low magic resist --> mind hunt,soul slay,petrify,charm,hellbind heart low elemental resists --> thunderstrike, incinerate, frozen heart, low hp --> high damage spells, like gifts from the heavens, banefire, low reinvigoration --> heat from hell, quagmire, rigor mortis, drain life, stellar cascades low morale -> fear spells / units, and cut off retreat path with stealth units or ritual summons.

Has there been an updated ETA for 5 beyond "November-ish" yet?

So there's a pretty significant new Dom5 feature we've heard about: baked roads. Instead of being a fort structure, roads are a terrain feature. This is extremely relevant to map generation and I am planning to update Cartographic Revision for Dom5. That begs the question of how roads should be placed; I'm honestly not sure yet, especially with how much Dom5 is changing the mobility game. The fluffiest way to do it would be to link towns together, but it could also be done to mitigate horrible starting terrain for nations that start in it. Suggestions?

No. There's a reason we cut down on forests after watching Pan walk through like 3 players without having to step out of the woods. If roads connect caps at all, it'll have to be pretty meandering.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Are you going to add a neato winter layer It's unclear how that works at the moment. e: It's basically necessary since winter changes movement rules, and the data structures exist in my program to do it, but the implementation in Dom5 isn't yet clear. This and roads are the two biggest labor sinks of an update. Corbeau fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Oct 26, 2017 |

Chuck them about randomly is my suggestion. Anything else has the potential to exacerbate existing balance problems.

Put them in chunks of 3-5 connected provinces. They'll be a nice help to players that get them, but will still require them build roads themselves if they want an actual network.

Eh, same point though. Small networks interspersed fairly evenly around the map. It helps make mini strong points but didn't upset balance badly

Call them (ancient) Ermorian roads. Insist that the lore demands their presence. They should be ruler straight.

Could you make the road layout some kind of configurable option? Like maybe "connects major cities" would be one, "ancient highways" might be another (big straight lines not necessarily connecting anything important but useful to cross the map quickly), that sort of thing. That way whoever is generating the map could just pick whichever style they want for the game they're planning on running.

Just having random provinces with roads that don't necessarily connect to other roads would work, correct? There don't need to be roads in both?

I suspect the amount of roads should probably increase with era. That could be a piece of road code, or it could just be emergent if roads are linked to towns because towns already increase with era.

I'm working on a procjam project and my first thought when confronted with an unexpected map gen problem was "a bitmask can probably solve this." Please send help.

Hi, does Dominions 5 make any of the unfun parts of Dominions less unfun, or did it instead only make the fun parts more fun?
