Dominions 6 - MA Na'Ba - TheSlowestBlitz - Turn 31 - Phaecia's Stand

[@-Kidzin]

That army wasn't really meant to fight real Aspho army so not having frontline didn't matter much ;P Not enough to cover attack rear flankers but just plenty to hold in place those with attack closest. Also Kirbs really should have asked me for ring of regen and his god would have bullshited that fight through timer.

[@DarkSideCookies]

Yeah, probably a missed opportunity on my part not trading for his fire gem income and sending him something he could have used more where he could have crowdsourced a kit for titan.

[@Kris_Lighthawk]

Timing out fights is very hard in Dom6 as you lose all buff if the fight goes long enough, so just a ring of regen would not have been enough. A good full kit might have done it though.

[@DarkSideCookies]

@@Kris_Lighthawk Yeah, with enough kit the titan might recast some buffs too in twilight given this was vanilla casting ai

"I don't always do smart plays" I feel ya bro 💀

[@DarkSideCookies]

I try, but I make so mistakes all the time. Still feeling lots of room to improve is part of the allure of Dominions for me too

[@gearheart1402]

Is 6 much better than 5? I got 5 a year ago, but it feels like it'd take so much time and energy to get into it.

[@DarkSideCookies]

Dominions is a game with some floor, but it isn't very bad if you're just playing against the AI. Certain hotkeys make the experience a lot better. Dominions 6 is still ironing some stuff out, but the quality of life improvements are very much worth it imo. I'd try out 5 some more, and if you like it enough to want to play multiplayer then get 6.

Well we'll get the really good victory next time.

[@DarkSideCookies]

Some day I'll figure out an elf thug that can survive the back lines.

[@jamesbeus598]

@@DarkSideCookies Wouldn't the best thug be one with mirror image, mistform, astral shield, and etheral?

[@DarkSideCookies]

@@jamesbeus598 Mirror Image is included in the chassis because the thug has glamor so we don't need to cast that, Mistform would have required giving him a gem since he's only A1 but it would have been a big improvement, I don't think I can fluff astral shield from a Mukarrib onto an F1A1G2 thug, and he did get fluffed with Ethereal. So that's pretty close I think to what it needed to be. Script was Air Shield -> Resist Cold -> Personal Luck -> Windrunner -> Protection from Lightning Air Shield probably was in case of large rocks, Resist Cold was for Jotun auras, Personal Luck was to help with boulders too, Windrunner was a mistake a think due to the thug having fatigue issues, Protection from Lightning was to help him survive the whip I gave him. Unfortunately, I think I needed him to just fail a morale check and flee, but he didn't.

Even if tramplers could wade, minotaurs could not get past centaurs as centaurs are bigger than minotaurs (size 5 versus size 4)

[@DarkSideCookies]

Yeah, it's just a change I'd like to see in general. Not sure why it's proving more difficult to implement.
