-Troika- posted:Isn't late age Lemuria basically Ermor but even better? It's really debatable. They have the same domkill, but different freespawn and different commander summons. I suppose it depends on who you're fighting if the spectral undead are better than the corporeal.

It also converts gems you don't want into gems you do want, lets you control key artifacts, and is genuinely over-valued by huge numbers of players who think that lategame is still a thing that exists and forget that gemgens also do not.

Pikes, or a mix of 2 pikes to 1 other infantry, are usually best for expanding, now that the repel mechanic works. Recruit the standard infantry for the first few turns, until you have enough smiths that you can recruit 12+ per turn of the black plates.

Order of recruitment. Fortunately, the repeat recruitment button simplifies things greatly compared to Dom3: you only need to click a bunch of dudes in order once.

I saw this in the comments for the RPS review of Dom4, and felt that it was a really nice sentiment that would be appreciated here:Mike2R posted:There’s something about the setting of Dominions that I love. There’s a common fantasy trope about living in the after days. You know the one; once upon a time powerful magic ruled the world and things that are unimaginable were common place, but those days are gone now, leaving behind only a few conveniently scattered swords of +5 fire attack or whatever. I’ve always felt a little disappointed that I had to read/watch/play in these after days. Why couldn’t I live in the time of unimaginable power? What was it like? And why did anyone need so many swords of +5 fire attack anyway?

Horror marks (from any source) are permanent and cannot be removed. A Horror seed (from the B ritual spell of that name) will remain until the infected unit is killed.

Hydras are too slow to mass for expansion anyway. Put a group of 4 adults & 4-5 hatchlings under a Hydra Tamer and pair with a serpent priest. Move slowly up to the front and terrorize your foes.

With LA Ulm, you want to expand with rangers & a small group of blockers. Versus other players, you want to be a sneaky bastard and put spies in all their forts and alpha-strike with stealth armies.

MR values are probably the same or similar to what they were for BV in Dom 3, it's just that now you're making 20x as many checks because you're facing so many blessed troops.

Shadow Vestals & Londead Horsemen & Principes are a very effective combination, particularly if you can get yourself good archers somehow. Just inflict more gold-casualties than you receive. A x9E4 bless on an imprisoned god gives you a powerful expansion and helps the Thaumaturgs do very well in communions - lots of Soul Slay and Nether Darts. Probably F9 statue of War, though I think a W9 gives the Vestals more survivability.

I don't think Scelaria would get much out of B9 on its god, and I think quickness or flaming weapons adds badly-needed killing power to Shadow Vestals.

Mostly evo, a little thaum for communions and some Conj & Alt for buffs. Edit: You really need to get to at lease Evo 4, preferably 5 or 6 for your Mystics to really be effective. The EA Cap-only can thug or Tstrike, so I'd be interested in trying or hearing about an Alt-heavy research program to focus on troop buffs. Particularly now that Reverse Communions are gone.

Heart companions are a strait-up better Hoplite. Don't build a bless around them, but recruit them preferntially. Better stats, lower upkeep, and blessable. Wind riders I have no experience it.

Seems to suggest that they keep the same gem income, and the 'Pact' national spells can only be cast in provinces that have The Roots of the Earth, which is a fairly common E site - I often end up with 3 or 4 by midgame if I've been searching thoroughly.

Massed Chariots or Minotaurs would probably work better, for that reason. But you can't get them as indies. It's actually really surprising that there are no chariot indies.

I don't know what your current research is, but Helheim has very good A/D magic, and very good forging/sitesearching paths on their svaltarf. Your endgame should be small teams of thugs wearing good equipment. Focus on getting 6 in Alt, Const & Conj. If you had N on your pretender, you could probably hope to pick up Tartarians. As it is, you're better off with just cloud-trapezing mistformed hangadrotts and flying banes lords. Either mass huge numbers of cheap troops, or use Wall Shakers & Gate Cleavers to break open the forts. You can also try to Air Evo your way to victory, but your non-cap mages are very expensive for only A2. Similarly, the D-random Hangadrotts can skelespam, if you need them to.

Not Const first, no. But he's asking about endgame. Early game, Alt3 first, then Ench 3 & Evo 2. Then const 4. Your midgame thugging needs const 4, and you should plan on getting 6 by endgame.

No, just that one is totally unwishable. But whenever you wish for a unit, it calls the lowest-numbered one with that unit type. So you'll only get one of the unique demon types. Every time you wish, you get that same demon.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Is that from a combat replay? I wouldn't really call it abuse, it's working as intended. It only takes building an SC god once to figure out that you keep your bonus HP for the first battle. It is more dangerous since routing and afflictions are calculated from your 'offical' total HP, not the total HP you started the battle with, so your Cyclops will sit there soaking up afflictions when he should have run.
