Current Yomi is just SUPER lovely Asphodel only it's Yomi and there is nothing good about it. Freespawn oni in mountains and poo poo, better/more with turmoil and magic. So no more purchasing your poo poo oni, now they spawn randomly when and where you don't want them.

yomi has 75% income and doesnt get the good pretenders because racism. your commanders that can actually fight cant research, your research guys cant fight. yomi isnt allowed to build forts bigger than a palisade so anywhere except for their capital or a fort from an event or a fort stolen from somewhere else they can only recruit 1 commander point worth of commanders, meaning every single mage is str. you are encouraged to take a hot or cold scale to improve your freespawn which further fucks your income. you basically ahve to take turmoil to get any freespawn which further fucks your income. your commanders that can actually fight increase unrest which fucks your income, and also the commanders that can actually fight cant lead for poo poo so your troops have poor morale.

In other words, the only way to play Yomi is to take all the luck scales and hope for the best. (It can make for a fun game, but  don't expect to win, you'll only hurt yourself.)

On Yomi? No. Or at least it would require having an innate AN to use N gems for Tengus as well as everything else.

I did a quick test today with MA Ermor to see if the spawn rates had changed. I read something among the line of better spawns in forts (which imo implied worse spawns outside forts?). In any case, these are the results Conditions: Small random map, starting provinces 6, Awake Earth Snake as Pretender (doing nothing in Capital), Scales neutral except Death3, Dominion strength 6, one year of turns passed: Dominions 4: 215 units spawned in the capital, including 18 knights, and 43 princeps. Total spawns in the other five provinces: 135 . Dominions 5: 211 units spawned in the capital, including 26 knights, and 33 princeps. Total spawns in the other five provinces: 173 . Uh... I don't know about you, but it seems a buff to me. edit: spawn in basic forts. Remember the basic fort in Dom4 is cheaper and need less time to build. 8 turns waiting for spawn in each fort: Dominions 4. Fort 1. 59 units. 11 ghouls. 9 soulless. 10 triarius. 11 principes. 9 velites. 4 legionnares. 1 knight. 4 longdead. Fort 2. 58 units. 3 ghouls. 8 soulless. 3 triarius. 11 principes. 13 velites. 9 legionnares. 4 knights. 3 horsemen. 4 longdead. Dominions 5. Fort 1. 54 units. 5 ghouls. 18 soulless. 6 triarius. 3 principes. 7 velites. 3 legionnaries. 1 knight. 3 horsemen. 7 longdead. Fort 2. 50 units. 8 ghouls. 13 soulless. 4 triarius. 3 principe. 5 velites. 1 legionnaire. 3 horseman. 14 longdeads. It seems more chaff (longdead, souless) and slightly less Roman troops, in special less knights and principes. But maybe with the fort upgrade you return to similar spawn levels.

The game needs a musical chairs mode. Every X turns any player without a throne gets eliminated from the game, and a claimed throne despawns.

Turin Turambar posted:Man, there is so much poo poo in the high level spell lists. And I don't say that in the sense of 'good poo poo!', no. Abominations are actually good but you should use them as artillery not melee. They aren't something worth researching L9 expressly for. You should ask in discord or irc for the top tier spells though. Usually if you are going for 9s it's going to be one of the immensely powerful ones like Army of Gold/Lead, Tartarians, Wish etc

You know what would be awesome? An internal sea map like in Civilization. Having only two natural avenues of expansion would force conflict, and the water would actually serve a purpose as a way to blitz someone else. Maybe scattering level one thrones in the land ring, and then a level three throne at the center of the sea to fight over if there was a way to force that with the map creator.

Those are the worst Civ maps because what invariably happens is that one person gets too much of an advantage and there aren't enough people able to interact with them to properly gang up on them.

I was reviewing LA Eyrtheia, and I'm not sure what to do with them. They are half-UW nation but... they are actually 'poor amphibian', so it isn't their strength, and it isn't like it's worth for them to go down the water because they have great units there (like LA Atlantis, Jomon or Uruk), their aquatic units are average. I imagine myself doing one UW fort to get the pearl cultivators and some extra gem income and not a lot else. Their troops suck: They have a pair fo militia level units. They have a crossbow unit, but of inferior range than other crossbows, and we are in LA!. It's nice they can work UW, but only being even closer, the fact they aren't as good above water is a more important fact than the UW perk. The sacred unit doesn't seem bad at first, with their awe and formation fighter, but they are very slow, high encumbrance and high resources, it's cap only, and their swords aren't anything special (it's nice to have something with magical weapons in case the enemy have ethereals, but it doesn't have any extra secondary effect). They don't have any unit with a strong killing power. You are left only with the Phalangites. Long Spear & Hoplon, Prot 15, Res 20, Formation Fighter. So decent, but as I was seeing they are lacking a hammer for this anvil. LA Arco has at least war elephants, cavalry, even the cerulan warriors. And in addition, most units can only be recruited or in coastal forts or in UW forts, so be aware that limitation in the middle of the map, if it doesn't have enough sea. I guess the answer is obvious. You are left then with a single tactic: a wall of spears and princes/princesss with random magic boosted by mystic communions. Although it's kind of hard to plan what I will cast with the randomness. Some examples: f2a1s1 f2w2e1s1 f1a1e2s2 f2a1w2e1s1 f1a1w1s2 Ugh, I hate having to think an efficient spell list for each mage, for a dozen of them. You can't really copy and paste the spell script with this variation. At least in my test I saw that they start with a 3cmdr. points capital fort which it is nice and the whole 'princes kill each other' is pure flavor, I had a single (failed attempt) after 3.5 years, and I had been recruiting 1 prince and 1 princess continuously.

In any case, these are the results I believe without the fort you simply get regular soulless, and longdead, ghouls, etc. With the fort (and maybe temple) you get the roman undead with armor and weapons, and the sacred undead cavalry.

My eventual goal is to possibly make an alternate MP client that does everything except processing the turn and battles (ie any of the actual game logic or calculation). So the exact opposite of what you asked for  Are there any resources about the file formats used?
