Dominions 4 General: Team Azoreus vs Team THICC edition

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a history teacher.

The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.

It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.

If you have a hard on for history, and mythology and want to pretend to be a god leading your followers into apocalyptic wars this is the game for you!

It is available on Gamersgate and Steam.

Currently need 1 more for Team THICC (team 2) llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=8WizardsGenesis

Suggested is Agartha, Nazca, Xibalba, or Oceania; as it is full conquest no thrones and Team 1 has two UW factions.

Also Arco is the best; no Lankan poo throwers are going to beat the glorious greeks

Lanka da best

Mummy Incas are fun and I wouldn't have anything against having them on the team but why recommend Nazca as something to balance the UW nations though. They are fliers and don't recruit amphibians, they are a death nation and can summon fully amphibious supayas, but other nations that likes ghost undead like Sceleria could work. Being an air nation would let them make water breathing stuff, but they aren't unique in that either.

Now all I need to do is to read up on how to play squid-brain eaters. Should be fun.

fug, UW nations are weird and I have no idea how to play them

Whole roster except two kinds of slave chaff is amphibious and don't loose/change paths when leaving water so you play them like an astral/water nation that happens to have a capital in an unusual place, I think.

I haven't played MA R'lyeh though and have most experience with LA Atlantis and that's technically not even a UW nation so maybe I’m not the best to give advice.

I did some single-player testing for late age R'lyeh earlier in this thread. You don't have to worry about tanking your scales though. You won't get freespawn either. It might help you come up with a plan for expansion.

You want to get a coast fort ASAP, I know that much. Can't tell you what to do for MP though, though your late game looks Mind Hunt and Communion heavy. You can probably break into blood and air via Moon Warriors, but that would be pretty expensive.

Bandar Log wont suffer from heat and can get UW via Naga summons, maybe. Xibalba is amphibious aren't they? Agartha is amphibious.

sorry, the r'lyeh stuff was last thread

Yeah, MA Xibalba is amphibious, mostly anyway, since the bats can't go into water, but frogs can and they are the "main" race for this age really.

You want to get out of the water since slaves are kind of shit in terms of individual fighting ability, though if you have gold to burn and a couple endless kettles/wine skins, they can make a half-decent blob to put between the enemy army and your starspawn.
Star children with a bottle of living water and alteration 4 are probably the most cost-effective assassins in the game, learn to love them.
Other than that, I don't have much advice since EA Rlyeh is my favorite Rlyeh.

Took a moment for me to remember that this is an MA game and that a Xibalba would be playing frogs, not bats.
But yeah, Xibalba would be a solid contender for that last slot on team THICC, especially with that bless.
