Dominions 4 - Pink Natajara

[Grimwulf]

Hey, hey! Change your chaosrec and shapeshifter nations all you like, but don't touch muh Tecaburg! I have none of this stuff.

 

[Andnjord]

None shall touch my glorious C'tisian hoburgs!

 

[KoolNoodles]

I vote for whatever changes make dumb units less OP on this obviously T3L3 map before I will have a chance to pick them. So yeah, new version?

 

[KoolNoodles]

Actually I don't care, just pick me the most hobbitty nation, as long as they have xbows. I've got my LotR gifs all ready to go.

 

[Dayyālu]

I vote new version. JUST NEED TO WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY


And i insist on Random selection order OR even "the other retard picks for the other". I trust Grimwulf to play lightly, I don't trust others. Nationgen games are not for poweplayers, for obvious reasons.

Let's try to make this fun for all. CHAOS WILL RULE

 

[Grimwulf]

Hurrr, why does every game has to take eternity to start? So it's not the LATEST VERSION, so what? It's not like this mod, or even this pbem aims to be perfectly balanced or something. It's not like Dreaad is extremely experienced player (he's a total bro, though!), so why not give him him the only nation with this chaosrec quirk? OKAY, if you hate me so much - give Tecaburg to some other guy, but what's the point? You think there's not enough overpowered nations in the roster or what? Check out Cirria then. Hell, most of them are powerful as fuck, especially in given circumstances.

I jes want to have fun. Start the game already, not give a fug about powerplaying or sumth. Those who played with me before know perfectly well that I'm a diplo-centric guy, so we can solve all problems in chat. I don't care how powerful is my nation. In fact, after running a few tests, I don't believe Tecaburg will survive for long in this zero-income world. But what's the goddamn difference, let's start the damn game. You got TWENTY NINE nations to choose from, ffs.

I vote LEAVE IT AS IT IS AND BEGIN

 

[KoolNoodles]

^ hahaha, master stroke

[KoolNoodles]

Didn't see that they were picked, so I'll pick Atlnom(Atlantis Nom Nom?). A little bit of hobbit, a little bit of fish. How they stumbled into this wasteland is beyond me. The other hobbit nations seemed a little too shitty. This is my only real complaint about Atlnom.

[Caul Shivers]

What Grimwulf said. Pick your damn nations people. I doubt there's much balance to be found in this game anywho.

I doubt there are going to be any tryhards in a game like this, besides even if there are it's a completely different beast, I've played such games before. There was a point there but fuck it, I'm alittle drunk.

As for me, I've stopped playing competitively a while back so I'm content to just sit in my fort and shout obscenities at passers by and do a little RP. Maybe do a little pillaging too. Pillaging is fun.

 

[Muty]

Alright I'll take Siris

 

[Caul Shivers]

I think I'm gonna go with Vindorf, doubt anyone is going to pick it anyway. You all can keep your fancy sacreds, those hoburgs are total fucking badasses.

 

[Malakal]

Fine, but if we are playing this version then do a list of nations picked already.

 

[Dayyālu]

Hurrr, why does every game has to take eternity to start?

You are remarkably impatient for such a skilled Dominions player . And if I know the Codex, we'll need a week to start. Plus what the heck are those Diamond Guardians?

I doubt there are going to be any tryhards in a game like this.

Well, back to the saddle (a day earlier even!). Let's see what the game offers....

I'd love to take Gaelinia: Advent of the Slave for RP reasons (it's in the name, you see) but they simply lack the playstyle I like (Blood magic, hmpfh).

Let's go Monkey, for once. I take Calgaya, Song Order.

 

[Grimwulf]

Fine, but if we are playing this version then do a list of nations picked already.

You are lazy.

Grimwulf - Tecaburg, Realm of the Final Abyss
Dreaad - Chaninn, Rotting Rise
Mraston - Djarnis, Wasteland Realm
Andnjord - Vindorf, Pure Valley
KoolNoodles - Atlnom, Realm of the Unlcean Hunger
Muty - Siris, Obelisk of Death
Caul Shivers - Vindorf again. Technically, Andnjord was the first to pick it, but I'm no judge here
Dayyālu - Calgaya, Song Order

Plus what the heck are those Diamond Guardians?

Did you see the last Mad Max movie? Imagine that all my units and commanders are ordinary wasteland dwellers, and Diamond Guardians are motherfucking trucks.

 

[Caul Shivers]

Whoops. I'll pick something else.

 

[Malakal]

Grimwulf you can call me lazy but then what about Caul Shivers double picking eh? Thanks.

 

[Andnjord]

Whoops. I'll pick something else.

Tried to steal my brave kopesh wielding hobburgs eh?

 

[Grimwulf]

Yesterday at 3:39 PM

I'll share the map tomorrow

 

[Grimwulf]

You are remarkably impatient

Yes, I am.

For those of you who want to play some sp tests, here is a temporary solution:

Spoiler

69 provinces, all desert, all small type (less population, income and res). Download this archive:
https://d.maxfile.ro/ugjbwnaalb.rar
and unzip it in your maps folder. The map is called "Wasteland3". Still waiting for Caul Shivers to upload the true one, but I was bored and impatient, because all my games are stalled.

Edit: another question on settings for Caul Shivers: do we leave all multiples (money, resources, supplies) at 100%, or do you plan to lower them as well?

 

[KoolNoodles]

Thanks bro. Really need to work on my strats.

 

[Grimwulf]

Plus what the heck are those Diamond Guardians?

You didn't see my national hero yet.

Spoiler

Edit: Morale 36 lol

 

[Caul Shivers]

Yeah, I have the map ready but the game won't accept predefined starts once again for whatever reason and I keep ending up with a displaced start here and there, though I really shouldn't. There are no #nostart provinces. There are no thrones to displace starts when I test them yet I keep encountering the problem.

Don't really have time to whack my brain on this anymore so if anyone has any fucking idea, I'm open to suggestions. I'll create the game tonight btw. Here's the map with 10, supposedly, fixed starts andprovinces set to 1k pop

And yeah, standard gold/resources settings.

 

[Grimwulf]

Why do we need custom starts again?

 

[Caul Shivers]

Ehm, someone mentioned it? Why does everything need to have a reason dammit!

Let's go with no custom starts then and if two players start next to it other we'll restart. With 10 players most players will be separated by 1 province anyway sit should be balanced-ish.
