    Regarding the elephant at 19:30: Tramplers are currently not pushing through smaller troops in the same way as large non-trampler units so you have to be careful with positioning them

    But one thing the AI can't handle and that is:
    Playing Mictlan - EA LA Miclan are always the first out because the AI can't handle the blood sacrifice and gets domkilled 100% of the time.

    Horse tribe actually counter elephants and similar tramplers. High defence and a lance for burst damage that they keep in reserve until something gets close.
    They are countered by ranged harrass where they rout without using their dangerous lances. The safe play to clear them is manikin distraction and then javelin them. Sometimes you get lucky and snipe their commander too.

    i don't think dominions is a great game to stream anyway, unless you're playing a blitz and have the opportunity to talk to chat in between turns. Episodic single player is fine.

    This isn't directly related to the video, but how often do people play games with the supply/resource/money multipliers cranked up all the way? That might be fun to watch.

    • @Madhattersinjeans
      @Madhattersinjeans 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd imagine those games would go to larger battles quicker. Could be interesting, but I suppose it would drown out nations that rely on freespawn/blood hunting and the more niche thugging nations a little.
      Cap only sacreds would likely be less impactful, so that's an interesting consideration.

    I practically can't watch big streams for games I'm interested in, mostly ones with super active chats. Most of the time the streamer ends up reading out donations or memeing or just talking about when they went to the store earlier, often not even playing the game while doing so.

    • @LucidTactics

      Yeah same, it’s like pay to lose (or make the stream worse)

    • @diazinth
      @diazinth 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends a little on the streamer and their viewers. DDRJake has a good dialogue with his chat imo to the point where chat kinda enhances the experience, which may partially be due to his "viewer reduction strats".
      Edit, as I got distracted round 1 writing this: Otherwise yeah, at best it's distracting with a few good questions, but generally it seems to me like it's just a war for attention.

    Buff spell tageting in dom6 seems bad, and do for sure not always go highest hp as it mostly do in dom5, it seem to prioritize close targets more than everything else in my experience

    • @DemonsthenesDominions
      @DemonsthenesDominions 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      In some ways that's helpful; it could be really hard to target buffs in Dominions 5 when you had a box of something very high HP on the field... I remember doing skirmish formations on infantry to get my cavalry buffed. It now feels more like you can put the mage in the middle of the ball of troops and he'll probably buff that squad...

    • @LucidTactics
      @LucidTactics  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thats what i thought... it gets much worse later in this game as i try to put body ethereal on elephants... and it really really struggles.
      Need to test it more and file a complaint i think... i was pretty frustrated by it. If its predictable maybe its ok though, but so far it seems pretty unpredictable.

    I'm confused, what's the pop kill on a dominions vs a growth 4 scale in a province. At what candle level does it have to he to beat growth 4?

    • @Sorrac0001
      @Sorrac0001 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      One Dominion candle is -1% population per turn for Asphodel. Growth is +0.2% per scale, so along with the 0.2% you get naturally it adds up to +1%, which cancels out the one Dominion candle.

    Would the stone idol be something to incorporate into an Asphodel build? Stack up on them in big provinces for heretic rolls to keep the dom out, and let it run wild elsewhere?

    • @LucidTactics

      @@LucidTacticsI sadly don't have the time and such to mess around with Dominions these days, but if I do something I'll let you know! Math-wise, it looks promising though. Because of how temple-checks work out, it's very hard to remove the final candle with heretic, but a stone idol can on average match about four temple checks per turn in a province (on low dom, a temple check has close to 60% chance of doing anything at all, and in a dom1 province, only a 27% chance of creating a candle. A stone idol has a 60% chance of removing a candle flat). So one stone idol per province you want to save could be enough, as long as you stick to 14 temples total to not go above 3dom.

    Hey Lucid. I'm uncomfortable with the showcasing of Sombre's gamestart mods. In doing so you are promoting bad modder/developer behavior where its up to the customer to fix known issues with the game. Illwinter has long ignored community feedback and its upsetting to see the public community face just shrug and pretend this is normal. Enablers like Sombre who created said mods because his beta feedback was ignored should not be running PR for illwinter. The failures of dominions 5 and 6 development need to be addressed not shuffled under the carpet to pop up again for 7. The idea that illwinter isnt profit sharing with the worthy heroes people after all the years of that mod filling in content is criminal. Your spellcasting AI mod is a cousin of my dom2/3 spellcasting mod which I discontinued because Illwinter was clearly exploiting modders relying on free labor to address known issues.

      This is about fair compensation for content which a big problem in many creative Industries. For example the AI not blessing it's troops which is one of sombre's mod is a problem that's been known for DECADES and was know in the dom6 beta before release. Rather than pay a programer for a fix Illwinter is exploiting modders like me for free labor. A serious problem in the gaming industry where a lot of that free labor comes from teenagers loyal to a product don't know the value of their talent
