So the slave units transform into other units? Are they any better or are they still trash?

tankfish posted:So the slave units transform into other units? Are they any better or are they still trash? The slave units get promoted at 50 XP to non-slaves with higher base morale. that's it. Any other stat boost they get is purely from XP, and generally speaking any unit thats survived to hit that 50 XP will most likely be afflicted. In a sample game I ran against AI most of the slave helotes who got promoted died without even 1:1 ratio, and Mekone has no healers so

creating a brand new promotion tag and applying it exclusively to slave chaff who will never get 1/10 of the way there is really cool. Videogames are art.

By the way, did Libluini finish up the mod for a freespawn chaff nation? I know he was doing that a year or too ago, but then I fell behind on the Dom4 updates.

About a year ago I finished university and started a full-time Job, which forced me to cut my ludicrous amount of hobbies down a lot. My Dom4-mod was the first victim. I still haven't totally given up, though: Some day I plan to go back and re-do my mod for Dom5. Just not... anytime soon.

Mages that don't gain their full paths until a certain xp level. Comedy option: Mages that LOSE paths at higher xp levels.

Mekone dont seem all that good, they have low morale troops who flee almost instantly, naked ranged troops who have 4 ammo then charge into combat , giants with a choice of 4 or 7 encumbrance which aren't scared so you cant bless them with reinvigoration, 1E1F + 1 random as their best recruit anywhere mage, and nothing particularly amazing in their cap. I mean whats the best early-midgame strategy with them? I guess some of those 10 morale peltasts / the 4 encumbrance giants backed by mages with 1E1F casting something? But that seems very weak compared to what they are up against in EA.

I have concluded that cheap death blesses are actually pretty okay. Stygian flesh in particular is fantastic until it's abruptly not, because nonmagic invulnerability 10 is good. It tests well for MA Ctis with its considerable piles of sacred snakes who have poo poo-all defense and armor. also undead command for eg Lanka is a huge cheap boon for moving your chaff around edit also when designing orders you can hit x to repeat your last single turn order Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Jan 22, 2018 |

How hard is this game to pick up? Are we talking EU4 learning curve? I am right on the fence about pulling the trigger but I don't know if I'll have the time or attention span to spend 50 hours learning the game.

I'd say dominions is easier to learn but harder to master than eu4. It is much easier to try something and then tweek it to see its effect.

The EU games are totally impenetrable to me buy I enjoy (lol) Dominions. If you read/watch a guide or just asked general questions in irc or discord it would clear up any mechanics questions you have very quickly and let you get into the meat of the game which is getting your dick ripped off.

The major thing for proper enjoyment of dominions 5 is willingness to commit to 2-3 month long multiplayer games. Otherwise you're just playing single player which is...well, you might have fun with it up to a point, but the ai is really dumb.
