Kiwi Dominions 6 Community - TW:WH3 but for actual autists

Yeah the Discord community is an active trashfire, being guntguarded by the cabal of the tranny head admin (true and honest wahmen) and their clique of insiders.

It's telling that I found the reddit one far more welcoming. (Still soy-infused, but there's a large group of boomer-ish redditors there which aren't so bad.)

Obligatory shilling for blitzserver.

I had limited interaction with the reddit server except for when I was playing a tiny bit of DE. I saw more DE games than vanilla so I stayed away for the most part.

Definitely correct about it being less aggressively pozzed. Few games I did play were a lot more relaxed and open to shit posting.

I also haven't done a blitz before, I still think I'm not multiplayer caliber after 500 hours but who knows

Only one way to learn. Could join us on the next game. Having fun with our current one.

Just jump on in man it's a blast, this is my first game too and I'm having a great time.

Don't let the name fool you. It's mostly used to host normal games, but you can also blitz on it if you can get everyone online at the same time (tough ask, but maybe a few Kiwifarmers here can be gathered.)

I'm almost out of this current game anyway.
 
The AI does some kind of undocumented threat calculation on units and will skip Magic Duel/Mind Burn/Soul Slay if nothing is threatening enough to warrant it. Even if you have them scripted.

If they're not using them on thugs though it's a definite bug.
Well the targets in question were the commanders of a giant army of mindless. For the most part many of them were little more than a single person worth of threat on paper, but actuality killing them would have instantly slain an army of hundreds. Calculate that.

Later on it kept on happening even when strong and large mages were in the battle, so who knows. Last I tried to understand it, a mage with like 4 skill total in all their paths is on the cusp of triggering the "threatening battle" threshold singlehandedly, so I'd hope they'd be considered worth a soul slay. Regardless, it isn't like I've ever gone more than a couple matches in dominions without getting angry at the AI. It is just rare it to be due to them going off-script.

Since chatter seems to be leaning in the direction of another game getting started, I'll toss out a non-committal slight preference for EA over LA, just to prevent them from being equal.

Yes and no. By himself yes it would kill off the undead in his command, but if there are other commanders with undead leadership during the battle they will continue to fight. Honestly I didn't deserve to win a lot of those fights, it was poorly planned at first. Doesn't help I have a bad taste for MA R'lyeh since I've gone against and lost to them MANY times, so I somewhat rushed it. The worst thing you can do is let them have land provinces and wait until late game before fighting them.
Also for whatever reason I thought spirit sight was similar to true sight, where I thought it could see glamoured units but NOPE, only works on invisible units and negates darkness. Also going to test something next turn and post about it depending on how it goes.

In other news, who would win:
1000+ pissed off vine zombies
or
two slabs of stone?

I looked at this and something triggered the autism gene and now I've dumped a lot of time into SP.
Should I wait for the next game before seeing how this plays when you're not just slaughtering 6 million free Troops the AI uses or should I try the reddits?

Single player in 6 got a lot better. I spend most of my time on SP but if you're pushing the higher difficulties (I can win on Mighty in a lobby of 12 AI, not a brag just to say where it's at) , you have little choice BUT to play more effectively without being drowned by 80000 Niefel giants.

This DOES teach you "bad" habits like spending a ton of money on province defense, and makes you focus on the wrong things in MP, like how to deal with borderline damage immune units, but at least you're effectively using what you have to clear 1000+ unit armies on the regular.

SP is for practice and build refining, but it can't compare to the real deal multiplayer shenanigans.

To answer your question though, just jump in. If you can win an SP game on any difficulty and have a somewhat cohesive build on a nation you like, jump right into Multiplayer.

If you can't tell, I like this game a lot, and it's good to know there's others who aren't stuck in Althaea and RCK's walled garden anymore.

I never won a game in MP yet (that isn't a duel or some funny blitzes testing out builds). I just have fun smashing armies into each other and seeing what comes out.

So yeah, absolutely just join a game and fuck around. No one will judge you.
 
Time to unleash the most nefarious magic of all! Acashic Record!

That's right, Its publicly posting the scoregraphs time!


Look upon the truth of the situation and despair.
Damn I am doing far better than I thought. Especially surprised on the research.

I guess while the game is still going on, I am going to gauge the opinion of everyone in the thread. I can't make a poll, nor do I know how to. So, just say "I am interested" in your post and depending on how many people are down I will open up a game on blitz
should I try the reddits?
getting games in is always good. even if it is with whiny redditors

I probably should have asked about the other thing, like whether these servers are tolerant of piratefags and their suspicious cdkeys. (Funnily enough I watched a Dom6 stream and the streamer got caught for having the same legit CD key as himself)

I'm actually curious about this as well. I've been trying to get a few IRL friends to try out the game but $45 is a big ask for a game that looks so autistic, and I'd love to have a way to give them a pirated copy so we can try a comp stomp together.

It's a game you host yourself so it should be able to work as long as you make sure not to use the same cdkey.

you can pass your friend your own files through a drive link (at least it worked with dom5)

blitzserver wont care if you use a pirated copy. official servers might not like it

Correct, but iirc even hosting a game does make Dom (5, dunno about 6) check for identical CD-Keys joining the server. Something to keep in mind if you're pirating. (The other thing is of course, version differences. Game's still new enough that it's getting updoots on the reg.)
