TheDemon posted:I was thinking just upping the chaosrec to approach the difference between O3 and T3. Definitely worth doing a little bit on the bigger oni, but remember there is a 240 point difference between O3 and T3 so they shouldn't really be comparable. Someone did mention giving the nation the spreadschaos tag. That way they'll spread chaos like Niefelheim spreads cold, which will be functionally similar as Niefel jarls fight like rear end in heat. Plus I also like obnoxious dominion/nation effects that aren't game changers like pop kill.

Dai Oni are a very good chassis for thug SC duty, they just *need* equipment and some buffs. I think the main draw of Niefelheim is that with a strong bless like N9E9 a jarl can solo provinces with no research and no equipment as long as it isn't barbarians or hot.

Using gems for general battlefield use is something the AI does that regular players should at least consider doing more often. Sure it can be expensive, but being able to blast out twice as many spells because you're at half fatigue can well be worth a couple of gems.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Are you gonna do an updated version of your balance mod? The concept sounded really cool, but by the time I was done playing AwesomeMods games my circle of Dom3 players had gotten bored with the game. Yes, Dominions Enhanced was pretty sweet. I was actually excited about playing MA Agartha, and they stayed in theme! I do think they were moderately OP though.

By far the best item to give an assassin is a skull talisman. const 0, and lets him summon an endless stream of skeletons. This will pretty much guarantee a win unless you die before your first action, or if they summon bigger/better stuff before they fatigue out.

The best siege trick is to play a nation with stealthy troops, and set it up so that when they storm there's a surprise army waiting. Also, you can sneak out and in at your leisure to raid around.

Barbarians only ever attack with misfortune I think, with each level of misfortune bigger attacks are unlocked. I also think most of the other attacks don't require misfortune.

Black hawks have a siege attack penalty, but I *think* they don't have a siege defense penalty, which means if you're under siege casting that a couple of times will be a big pain for your opponent.

New mod available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5jpjt7ny969kj0o/LAPyth.dm I think LA Pythium is pretty lovely as things currently stand, so this is my attempt to rectify it. Please feel free to appropriate all or part of it into another mod. This is a work in progress, so please provide feedback! There is work to be done yet, I'll detail my plan after I list what I've done so far. Changelog: Due to cold blooded units made heat preference 1. All the mystery cultists have been improved in some way. Leo: F1 with a 20% FSN pick. Given innate fire shield and a fire brand as a gift from his god. Heliodromus: F2 with a 20% FSN pick. Epoptes: N1E1 with a 20% EN pick. Mystes: N1 with a 20% EN pick. Research penalty removed as they don't spend time evangelizing. Reveler: N1 with a 20% B pick. Stealthy! I've also boosted a couple of regular commanders Serpent Priest: given an extra D path. Serpent Assassin: made non cap only, and is now a H1 priest. Serpent Acolyte: given a 100% WSND pick, to mirror other state priests. Theurg: now A1S1 100%AWS New national spell, summon sacred horned serpents. Just like the lovely conj 2 summon, except they're sacred. This may be questionable TODO: recruit as many hydras as you can afford. Make sacred fire snake summon, and sacred lamias, both of these also questionable! Add high level Conj/blood summons to get the Solar Bull, Great Mother, King Reveler or whatever he should be called.

Yeah, when I said version control, I meant that I had two versions of it, the broken one I posted, and the fixed one in a different place :P That being said, I'll definitely fix everything else you added. Another change I made is giving the starting army the fancy commander. I figure you'll never actually pay for one, so might as well get one for free.

Neruz posted:It'd be neat if nations started off with a unique powerful hero commander instead of some generic guy and a scout. I think TheDemon was planning that for his big mod, but doing it for one kinda means doing it for all in the era. jBrereton posted:Yeah thinking about it, my guys did seem to have (even) better morale than normal. That explains it. Good changes, by the way. Thanks! I still don't know if the sacred summons are overpowered but I'm reasonably happy with everything else. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the mystery cult god summons. Probably try to make them summonable by one of their followers with good picks and some boosters and *maybe* an empowerment or two. Probably shoot for desirable, without being awesomemod desirable. For the Solar Bull I was thinking just copying the big bull pretender and giving it some quantity of FSN magic and heretic 5. Probably something more exciting I could do here. Same deal with the great mother, except EN magic. Don't know what to do with the reveler yet, or even whether to put him in conjuration or blood. Maybe summon a bunch of satyrs and maenads every turn. Probably cause a lot of turmoil.

Neruz posted:Have the Solar Bull autocast that battle spell that blinds dudes. Solar Brilliance or whatever. A good idea, although I think heat from hell may be better. Provides some synergy with his followers who all have some fire resistance. Could also have him raise order (militaristic) and heat in his province, the mother raise growth, and the reveler turmoil and sloth.

Diabl0658 posted:turmoil luck needs to be combined with other scales that unlock the gold/gem events. Magic 3 is a great scale to take with turmoil luck for example. Production and growth also have some gold events. Magic has the best events by far. I don't think there really are any associated with production, or at least weren't a while back, and growth doesn't have anything too exciting, unless it's paired with magic.

Jabarto posted:Is there any list of what events are associated with what scales, even an incomplete one? I follow the Kitfox Doctrine so I always ramp up the gold-producing scales, but I never touch the Luck scale and only take Magic or Drain in fringe cases (e.g, Jotunheim benefits enormously from a high magic scale, and vice-versa for Ulm). It'd be nice to know what I"m missing out on. There is, but my link to it is evidently dead. Sorry! Neruz posted:High magic results in more +random gems events and events where a random mage and drn followers with some path-appropriate items and gems shows up, it also increases the liklihood you'll find a dead dragon and recieve a bunch of gold, gems and items. Magic 3 also unlocks very very rare random horror attacks on astral mages and faery courts. You don't need order 3 for the order gold events, 1 unlocks most of them, and a free fort event, but there are some others at higher tiers. I recall a grand total of one event tied to production/sloth, which was good but rare and not that special. growth/death is a weird one. They *both* have some positive and negative stuff tied to them. The best events also require magic. I'm not sure the noble dying is tied to death 3, think it's any amount of death. One of the worst events in the game is tied to growth 3, which is having an ancient presence kill 95% of the population and attack the province with some rude dudes. heat/cold also both have good and bad things, but heat is much worse as you can get the lab burns down event, which can totally gently caress you sometimes. So the take home message is if you're going to take luck, take magic. It also has benefits with both order and turmoil, but better on the order side. Prod/sloth doesn't matter. Cold is better than heat, but whatever floats your nation's boat. Death/growth are both fine with luck, but the best of both is tied to magic.

It's usually not too big of a deal, but is worth noting that a teleporting unit will always go inside of a besieged fort, there's no way to make them attack the sieging armor through magic movement.

akulanization posted:Man, luck 3 magic 3 has some pretty cool events. Got a Circle Master and 4 of his b1d1 buddies with some death gems and blood slaves. That's basically enough to start up a dive into blood on its own. Absolutely this, the best good events require luck and magic. If you have luck and any order you can get the occasional serious gold bump/random fort, but luck and magic can give you new mages. If I recall correctly cold, heat, growth, and death all also have gem/mage events tied to them. Also, watch out for heat dominion, one event tied to that is your lab burning down. Depending on where this happens it can be seriously inconvenient.

How are u posted:Wait, really? 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.

As a general site searching followup, most magic sites you'll find only need 1 or 2 in the path to find, so it's generally better early on to send out a mage with broad path access rather than someone with deep path access. You can backfill later with site searching spells if you want to be completionist. Many magic sites have an effect whether weighting scales, causing disease, making a horror mark, blasting undead/demonic units with holy fire, and cause/remove unrest. These happen even if the site isn't searched out (actually I don't know if reducing unrest happens). It's worth checking your dominion for strange effects, and especially the areas just outside your candles for scales. The most common one that springs to mind is a Well of Pestilence, which will increase death, cause disease, and needs a D3 mage or dark knowledge to search it out. If you see something weird you can look it up in the database. You should especially do this early game when candles haven't spread everywhere yet, as you can see the scales of provinces next to your dominion. Don't bother casting acashic record, it's wayyyyy too expensive and comes too late. The one possible exception is provinces that have a bonus chance of having magic sites. This is determined in the map file, but unless it's some silly adventure map, that generally means throne provinces. The other multi search spell voice of tiamat is cool and good though, you should cast that all over underwater. Holy sites are rare and generally not too interesting, you're probably better off having an idle priest preach if possible. Blood sites are also rare, and the good ones even more so. The catch is the good blood sites are really good so it still may be worth searching.

Alright, it's almost a new year, and we all know you're going to do some stupid things. You should just acknowledge that and join Grandpa's Closet Reloaded We did a Grandpa's Closet game several years ago, and it wasn't exactly a huge success. I hope to have learned from my mistakes and can engineer better game settings. This is going to be an all ages huge game on a ~1200 province map, featuring D&D's World of Greyhawk in MS Paint glory. There may be an adventure map available with defined sites, but we won't be using that. download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dr0am57xne2xv8n/OeridiaDom4.zip?dl=0 We're either going to play with thrones, or accumulating VPs. It turns out you can't use thrones as VP generators which is totally lame since thrones are cool, I'm not sure which yet. I would like it if the game actually ended, accumulating VP would help with that. This will be a disciples game with 4 person teams. 3 normal team members, and one Extra Special Aqua Friend! (nations that start underwater are aquafriends). Normal team members can not be aquatic. Please do not go AI without consulting your team mates first, and please try to be available in irc. No ermor/lemuria/other pop kill nations. If you want to run one with recruitment like LA R'lyeh or Asphodel as a disciple that will probably be OK. We'll be playing with the JBBM or something like that TBD. I'll probably take out Burden of Time and Astral Corruption since on a big game some rude dude is going to rush it and that poo poo is obnoxious. Arcane Nexus is also likely out as it is silly in big games. Link to post here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3568182&userid=201009&perpage=40&pagenumber=31#post467504774 I haven't made the game or created signups yet, and I'll probably wait a couple days for feedback, as most of this is up for debate and I've probably missed some stuff. Talk amongst yourselves and find team mates though! Barono fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Jan 1, 2017 |
