@@EvilTwinn my bless isn’t particularly good with knights so it isn’t a big deal but yeah if they weren’t busy.

@@Kellnaved this is a pretty common issue for mages in assassinations generally. Without other troops there to buff or a target rich environment they are more likely to do something unimpactful

Yeah but if the mage is expensive it hurts especially. I always thought that powerful mages should start battles with 1-2 "bodyguards" even if you don´t specifically assign them. Either way I am always happy when the AI actually uses some mechanics like assassinations or mind hunts etc. beyond just marching giant blobs of chaff into you. And I have to say that the army compositions seen in the video are quiet nice especially with the blood summons.

@@MortalJupiter almost certainly not, but I don’t support the dom5 version of the mod any more

ALSO Darkness Alt 6 ;)

@@Juniperbuggg a hero focused update is next, adding heroes for nations that don’t have many currently. This includes tzeentch

Love that too. Would it make sense to go with "blood surge" as a bless it benefits the chosen knight and the chosen infantry ...

I'm not sure that's what's happening in the video. I think there may actually be a bug, though I haven't tested for it yet.

@@Kellnaved what’s the opportunity cost

@@sombrewarhammer Well, in order to produce guys that spread your dominion you don´t produce mages / champions for these RPs. If you need many of them for significant spread then the incentive to produce cultists in the first place will be very low and therefore dominion spread / special mechanic progress will be weak. BUT again, this might be very different in MP.

@@Kellnaved They aren't just for spreading dominion and you don't need to use them, they're just an option. The gates mechanic works either way.

@@sombrewarhammer Sure. I just said that IMHO it isn´t an optimal option compared to just go for more mages / champions GIVEN that the AI spams temples into all provinces and probably cheats concerning it's dominion spread. IF for example this cultist could be recruited OUTSIDE of forts just in temples that would certainly make it more attractive in an competitive environment.

@@Kellnaved I don’t think the ai cheats at dominion spread, what makes you think it does?

Maybe but no plans currently.

The first one I ever made was Skaven and they're still my favourite. Not my best sprite work but just really fun to play in multiplayer, lots of sneak attacks, lots of different elemental and poison attacks, no super strong sacred or very reliable troops.

@@sombrewarhammer ah yeah she skaven are a cool nation. I am the creator of the Might and magic heroes nation of Haven mod (Holy Falcon Empire), also had the necromancer faction sprite work and coding done but I am so terrible at balancing I never finished them. How do you balance your units, based on native or general power level?

@@abaddon7851 you can get a local download of the mod from llamaserver.net/sombre/Dominions6/Mods/

Also you can access your steam workshop mods in your workshop folder though neither the game or mods folders are named so you’ll have to search for your dominions folder and then the mod

@@bradenatkinson4784 thanks i found it. now i just need to know what files i need to open with it.... to not get a error message

@@abaddon7851 you need to load the files with the dm file extension also when you load them they will not have sprites

@@bradenatkinson4784 thanks for the fast help. i think i use the local mod to do it but for some reason it did not show me sombres reply until now even if its a day old. so if i did would not see it still you would be my hero

You're welcome! I do intend to continue, time allowing.

@@Kellnaved I think it would be too strong if it ignored armour. It’s already capable of damaging through high prot

@sombrewarhammer Well, I would say it deals more light damage to "moderate" armor IF the enemy unit hasn´t good MR but since Tzeentch looks like an astral nation I would assume that fighting it you want good MR on your troops with buffs etc. in mid game. In any case I mentioned it as a possible venue IF it turns out that they are overall on the weaker side. As I said the "truesight" bonus might be more of a thematic than actual practical advantage against MOST opponents. And since their specialty is based on having influence in enemy territory it will be weak in SP (because of the AIs max dominion fetish) and strongly dependent on your opponent in MP. So there is some concern about Tzeentch power level since their mages while powerful are quite expensive as well.

@@Kellnaved I don’t feel concerned about Tzeentch being too weak.

@@sombrewarhammer Time will tell. I just don´t see any obvious strenghts beyond strong magic paths and communions for late game but a number of weaknesses.

@@Kellnaved very good researchers, wide magical diversity, lots of magic weapons, high prot high damage troops, strong sacreds, heavy cavalry; they have lots of strengths.

I don't think I can do that, at least I don't see a mod command for it. It is only 4 enc per ranged attack though so the hope is it doesn't flatten them in terms of fatigue, or at least isn't greatly different from the function of other chosen.

@@sombrewarhammer I was thinking about similar tag as breath weapons have now but I guess it works differently I just checked it out since you updated the mod, it says exactly what I was thinking about where it doesn't get cast above 50 fatgue, well at least in text will have to test in practice

I may add more factions, I need to think about it. For now I'll be working on additional content for existing factions though.

What units do you use whit the skaven I have trouve having a good expansion

Sure I would just need to make them. I don’t know what has happened to Ulthuan in this game, I suspect stuck on and island somehow

She passed some time ago, just old age. I hope yours are doing well.

Mine are doing fine I'm so sorry yours had passed away

Steam workshop

The loon?

Glad you enjoyed them! I enjoyed making them

I’m not sure I understand the question

Enjoy!

That’s true, correct in the video, wrong in the description

Yeah I think it should be a magic being, like a vine man
