Angels have learnt the secret technique of using armor for battle:  And Chayot has now a group of Ophams as retinue  Poison clouds lingering, they move a bit even  This is the new fog of war system, where you can only see 1-3 provinces away, beyond that is a black void. This is different from Dominions 5 and before, where you saw the map itself (but not the province names, population or dominion info, armies etc). Also, because the Pretender is present here, it can sense where the Throne provinces are, that's why the appear beyond the fog of war.  item to remove homesickness, good idea  a new Indian summon  Slay Queeeeen!  The spider gained 8MR. 8!

Have they made the hinnom-line angels worth summoning Ophans are cool as hell and I would like to use them some time (hashmals are so close to being worth their pearl cost)

They are already absolutely worth it, if you took a bless. The very least of them are flying H3s to help lead your goat demons, the best open entirely new magic paths for you. Of course, they are less worth it if you took no appreciable bless (dawn guard for expansion), because then other, unblessed blood summons are probably better.

Ynglaur posted:79. You only have limited visibility around your provinces, you need scouts to see beyond that. In Early Age you only see at one province of distance away, two in the Middle Age, and three in the Late Age. Thanks for the comments. We already replied about 79, it's a new Dom6 thing, wherever possible (with the limited knowledge I have), I have written for the Dominions 6 ruleset. 106. Not sure if it's like you say or like mydad said, in any case it isn't important: there is a balance to maintain in a new player guide between clarity and simplicity, and accuracy and completeness, which means is better to not add details like that, there is the manual and the wiki for that level of detail. There are are a few points already in the guide where I did generalizations or I skipped some exceptions I knew for the same reason. The whole point is 107. I... uh... I will trust people's common sense in this case. Yeah, immobile units cannot move.  123. I also didn't know about it! I happened to be watching a Lucid's AAR video a few days before I wrote the guide, that's why I put it. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Jan 15, 2024 |

DarkAvenger211 posted:Hell yeah I'm down for more Dominions. The trailer mentioned something about taking over alternate dimensions, any idea what that's about? It was a bit of exaggeration, honestly. There is only a second 'map layer', the caves; and a third site that we could consider an alternate dimension (but it's literally a single province). That said, the game map system support having extra 'map layers', so mappers will be able to have 6 or 7 planes, each connected to the rest in the way the map designer wants.

I heard the same sentiment before, and i know some people really are into that, but I don't think it would work as well within the context of a game like Dominions, focused on empire expansion and war. In CoE you kinda can gently caress off to another plane and explore it, it's another pace. -- This sprite goes hard  jsoh posted:they get lots of the new kind of magic I'm a bit disappointed in some of the new nations, I feel they are missing some extra uniqueness that serve to really anchor up what is their unique flavour. Where are the unique national spells, items, events? Maybe some stuff still have to be unveiled, but I suspect we will need to wait a few updates until Illwinter actually complete the nations, the same way they did a 'Mediterran update' that gave new Pretenders and spells for Mediterranean nations in Dom5.

The ones that are ludicrously overpriced for no clear reason (chayot is 222 pearls lmfao) Eh, it's pretty easy to see how they got to the price point of Call Merkavah. It summons a Chayot, yes, but it also summons 4 Ophans. Which themselves are a Conj 8 single summon for 49 pearls. Albeit you're getting the unit version with Call Merkavah, so lesser value (though Ophans honestly still have like 80% of their value as a unit - commander really doesn't add much), but it's still a single mage turn for a bunch of expensive stuff. Not to say the line isn't heavily overpriced overall, but it's not like the Chayot on its own is 222 pearls. The real issue with its pricing is that Ophans are probably the worst of the lot in terms of pricing, and so Merkavah's cost being influenced by them is similarly way too much.

Grubs were already legit really good before. If you can move them around they're one of the most gem-to-siege efficient summons.

gonadic io posted:Grubs were already legit really good before. If you can move them around they're one of the most gem-to-siege efficient summons. I'm thinking now that there is an * to apply here. We know magic path required for the summon, gem costs, and number of units summoned. But we don't know if the units themselves are the same, nerfed, or buffed. It seems now in Dom6 they are 5 gems instead of 6 gems, and you summon 10 of them. That's more than double efficiency. However maybe their siege bonus has changed? Well, we will know tomorrow. This and much more... first thing I will test will be the strategic AI itself, I have read conflicting reports.

Hey Larz! I always forget your are in the forums For my part, I wouldn't be surprised if this time, you need extra time to update it to Dom6. I think there are more changes than from Dom4 to Dom5. Who knows what they have done behind the courtain...

I tested a bit and the network protocol doesn't seem that different, the discord bot could still connect to and read from Dom 6 games even if the nation IDs were wrong. Of course I still have to scrape the new html status page instead of spoofing the client like the bot did for Dom 5 so there's a little work to do.

During the last two years I had tons of eye surgeries, and for a lot of that time, looking at light backgrounds was pure torture. Most of my poo poo is set to dark mode nowadays since that makes my eyes less angry. I basically use the mod inspector in tiny increments, steeling myself up to look at maybe 3-4 things, then closing the tab again. Otherwise, bad things may happen. Something like a dark mode would be a big help.

I am intrigued seeing those armor items giving +HP. If this is going be a standard sort of thing in Dom6 going forward (similar to the armor giving HP in Conquest of Elysium's newer versions), then I'm thinking that I'll have a lot more reason to consider armoring my regular commanders. Doesn't take a lot of extra hit points to make a human able to survive incidental arrows and one big damage cloud more reliably. And it would be nice if I wasn't taking as much of a risk putting my officers into the formations they are allegedly leading. Not sure if it will make a huge difference for thugging, but I am going to at least try knight commanders as a way to force someone to buy more PD on the periphery of their empire. Who knows how far these cavalry buffs might take us?

For once, I have the day off when a game I'm really excited about comes out. I think I will try out Ys at first, to see whether they got any buffs at all. And to test out glamour magic, of course. I already uninstalled Dominions 5.

And to test out glamour magic, of course. Man, I wish I could. But I'm still in two games, and it doesn't look like they'll be over until February, maybe March. But since Dominions-games are all incremental updates, they're the easiest old games to discard, ever. As soon as my current games are down, I'm uninstalling and then hiding the game in my Steam library.
