Dom4 forums on Desura
Link to Edi's Dom4 Database
An archived snapshot of the Dom3 wiki: Yes, it's still relevant, and it hasn't been replaced yet, so... It has loads of useful information, including strategy guides. Keep in mind that while a lot of this information is still very useful and valid, a lot of it is entirely out-of-date.

Llama Server: the automatic hosting server for our game.
Llama Server's map and mod browser (Yes, it's not really a browser, but you can browse the maps and mods here)

Text taken from the 4.06 thread, where TomPliss stole it from Delta Foxtrot who stole it from  E. Albright who stole it from Akhier the Dragon hearted who stole it from ScriptWolf who stole if from Il Palazzo ( with his say so ), and scantly updated for Dom4 by the latest OP E. Albright.

Didn't see that.
Let me think of something else.

Edit:
Are "bad dominion" nations excluded again?
If not and the map has a decent number of water provinces R'yleh.
Otherwise if the map has a decent number of water provinces Atlantis.
Otherwise Marignon.

I'd like to take Utgård.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I wouldn't exclude them directly, but I would advice agaisnt them : In a small game, everyone is your neighbour. So you'll have a hard time convincing someone to ally you against someone who attacks you, as they will loose pop from your dominion as well...

Once a good number of players have confirmed/subscribed, we'll vote for a map, and you can confirm which nation(s) you would go for, then. I would like you to limit your options to 2 nations, as there aren't really that many LA nations (comparing to the other eras)...

PS: by the way, if I'm not the only "bad dominion", I would love to test Lemuria in MP, but if I choose this nation, you'll take Man back, and I'll be the only "bad guy" again... :/

I'm interested, but don't have a country quite decided upon yet.  Would there be any particular objection to an additional person?

You're our 7th player if the 2 other who said they were interested still are, so I don't think there will be objections. However, you may just have taken the last place :D

Posting to watch. I'd offer to join/help with substitutes/whatever, but the thought of playing another game of Dominions right now makes me weep and gnash my teeth, so... Best of luck to everybody. Also 4.09 must be Early Era. Just so that we're all clear.

Couldn't decide, so I just randomed.
LA Ulm it is. Time to figure out how they work.

Well, being underwater makes defence a lot easier.

Sea squids have a problem turtling in the LA Dreamlands domain, though - unlike Ermor and Lemuria, they need gold rather than gems for their troop and especially mage recruitment, but Dreamlands is going to undercut their own population base unless they expand.
