Dominions Armageddon Edition

[Malakal]

I havent voted yet and Ill vote for disciples and a flavor map of the old world only if theres any, if there is not then normal map.

 

[Isiloon]

So you are playing Malakal? I heard whispers in the winds you weren't keen

You mean a different map than the one already posted right?

Missed that one, had a look and if we are not playing with Tomb Kings, Border Princes and stuff like that the map doesnt fit very much.

What we want is just the Empire plus Kislev and northern wastes and maybe bordering areas. Is there a map like that? I like what Call of Warhammer uses for their TW2 mod.

 

[Dreaad]

There is one, I think, but last I remember it was around 400 provinces.

Oh well, can we at least get someone to mod fixed starts?

 

[Isiloon]

400 provinces is okay I think in a game like this since we are all OP as hell

 

[Dreaad]

Oh well, can we at least get someone to mod fixed starts?

Yeah I'll try figure out.

Edit: Yeah, no, we can't use this map. The distribution of provinces, all being concentrated in one area like that means I can't place two teams of 5 in any reasonable way.

So how about something simple like Shadowshore or Urraparand?

Yeah, why the hell not. Let's!

 

[KoolNoodles]

Meh to both of those at least. We did an Urraparand game already and Shadowshore, which is a bit of an eyesore. We could always just do a random map, 150-200 provinces. Increase cave amount and maybe tweak some other stuff. That's another problem with some of the old maps, no caves.

So if we were to do an old one, there are some updated versions on Desura like this:

Not bad. Other options, maybe rather bad (i went for province numbers and size):

http://www.desura.com/games/dominio...hread/fantomagoria-wraparound-173-land-59-sea

I like Fantomagoria, it looks bleak enough for a Warhammer game. A pity it seems to be somewhat unbalanced.

Yeah I had forgotten about Fantomagoria, that one would be fine. I don't think "balance" is that big of an issue since we're using these insane nations and doing 5 man teams.

It's good that you have so many ideas. I'm sure you can organize this better than me (I'm swamped with stuff atm, though I can still help monitor the game or whatever when it starts.)

T..thanks..... Dreaad.... this means you will give to me your personal mail so I can write poetry and sweet things to you, open my dark, dark soul to such a special person like you are?

(Sorry)

Whatevs. Last post before going to sleep, then.

+ Disciples. 5vs5, Clustered Start. I'm open to suggestions for the number of Thrones and the like. I'd like to go for something like 12 points for victory, 8 lv1 3lv2 1lv3 or something. I'm no expert on Throne balance.

+ All mods in one place.

http://a.pomf.cat/cavepo.rar

+ We'll use Fantomagoria. Bleak as the WH world should be.

+ If any of you wants to change nation (I don't know, one of the Blessed wants to have Khorne or something) it's now or never.

I'll host this thing tomorrow. It will require a bit of work, though.... another thing: what version of the High Elves are we going to use and Malakal is playing what?

 

[KoolNoodles]

Everything looks great and thanks for taking the reigns, except....do we want thrones or just conquer? Conquer seems more fitting, and thrones will be really bad for Chaos. We don't get any H3 recruits and one summon by the looks of it.....that is immobile and will never move, whereas "Order" gets recruits and summons aplenty that are H3 with the ability to cloud trapeze, teleport, etc.

 

[Malakal]

Thats just silly because chaos nations are way more powerful, at least leave whatever little 'balance' of power is there...

 

[KoolNoodles]

Oh stop it. Are you even playing? There's no way we're doing thrones with NO H3 priests and only Disciples who can easily be killed and then take ages to call back because we have shitty/no priests. Ridiculous, as if a war tank is balanced, or a mage with 2 in nearly every path, or whatever. None of this is balanced, and never will be, much like Dominions in general.

Edit: For instance, if Tzeentch loses their Disciple they will never get it back unless the Pretender does all the work. And what Pretender will that be? The one with all those H1 priests they probably don't want to be recruiting? Yeah, great.

 

[Dreaad]

Why not just do 3-5 thrones. Surely your disciples can deal with that many? If I'm not mistaken Dark Elves get level 3 priests AND you all have like 4 heroes, some of which are level 3.

The highest the DE get is H2. And heroes? Relying on heroes? No. The only ones who get a couple H3s are the Ogres, and that is it. Two heroes on one nation. Ok, Ogres and DE, but still only 4, three of which are MM1 with no easy spell to get them around. Also, heroes are luck. Can go a whole game without getting the "right" hero even with T3L3.

Thrones = bad. This is Warhammer, conquer your enemies, not dance around them and use tricks to win.

the heck I can't sleep

the game will end once one of the sides gets its morale broken, Thrones are rather pointless in 5vs5 team games then if not as a symbol of an already obtained victory, and if I am right only Decline5 ended with a proper Throne victory and that was because of crazy luck

So I'll set it up as conquest then

WE FIGHT FOR CHAOS AND FOR TERRIBLE AND AWESOME '80 ART

 

[Zephyr Arsland]

Right-o! The "second" version of the HE is broken as fuck. Yes, even more so. So let's stick with the first one. It's kinda boring, but appropriate for such stuck up faggots. We're playing disciples then. Who gets to be a Pretender?

(Dragon-riding elves not included. Badassery sold separately)

We'll discuss that in a private conversation with our team, me thinks.

Sounds fine Thanks

 

[KoolNoodles]

One last question....do we want to use no Indy recruitment mod for extra Warhammer flavor(so it will only be "Warhammer" units that people can recruit)?


Edit: This one to be specific.
