Just because I forgot it existed and it isn't in the first post a quick tool people might find useful.

The Dom4 Mod Inspector

It has a number of mods built right in and you can select a mod you have locally and it will load that up as well. Just click [load mods] and select the mods you want to view (in this case Worthy Heros 5.5) and load it. A good way to check over stuff all at once like what the magic paths are on your nations selection of pretenders.

Join us. The crazy is at a perfect temperature today.
So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

First Post Updated, I settled on Lanka - Welcome Darkwind3

Alright, we have 9 players, so I'd suggest a Map around 110 - 150 Provinces total, very open to suggestions.

Game is still open for anyone that wants to join.


As for nations, I think with 3 (possible) undead spammers, at least the underwater areas will stay intresting.

Regular Skelespam yes, but with the current roster Fomoria would be the only one able to get down there in the first place.
And having to equip each and every mage with waterbreathing makes things so much less efficient, not to mention that skeletons are poor amphibians.

Keep this in mind when choosing a map, while Fomoria is only quasi-amphibious at best, a large ocean would heavily benefit them.
(That said, don't avoid maps with water, just don't pick one with a giant ocean meant to house an entire underwater nation or two!.. Unless we get an underwater nation joining up, then never mind, bring on the water.)

By Jove, I might actually want to join. As them monkeys - Kailasa? (it's been a while)
Uh, if I can install the game first. I heard Desura is gone (yes, it's been a longer while). Can I recover the purchase I made there, somehow?

If you got the key, it could work on Steam and they send out a email about it like a year ago with instructions?

Huh. Nope. I ain't got either. Just the purchase confirmation email, but there's no key in there.
Oh well. Never mind me, I probably won't be playing then.

It'd be slightly larger than 150 provinces, and we don't quite have the recommended player count, but Ragnarok Comes looks really cool. I don't think we have any cave nations, so the large cave system shouldn't be that big of an issue.

My only (minor) quibble with that map would be that we're currently playing on it in Round 26, and seems like it could be overly large for 9.

No, the only true answer is... Feast of the Gods!  :P

You can write the Dominions support, afterall you have your purchase confirmation email - attach that and write them, dominion sales are still somewhat rare and it is still a great game.

While Feast looks tasty and the talks of "get out of my salad" would be amazing, I'm going to offer some other suggestions and start a poll : )

9 is also a suitable number for that map generator I posted in the main dominions thread. Can't post any example maps from my phone, but maybe someone else could check it out.

And having to equip each and every mage with waterbreathing makes things so much less efficient, not to mention that skeletons are poor amphibians.

Thtb's bread and butter in round 4.26 has been bands of mound kings with amulets (and in extremis, acorns), with and without mage support. Even just 20 chaffs at the start and 5 per round for 50 rounds is painful, but when you start getting into (40 + 10 x 50) to (80 + 20 x 50) territory it starts getting hard to deal with even with your own mage/priest support, and poor amphibiousness won't do that much to blunt sheer weight of numbers. Ofc, if you're UW sharking is an option that would help a lot, so there is that...

That's a pretty large number of throne provinces.

I'd say no more than 10% land provinces should be thrones. Honestly like 9-10 with a mix of level 3s and 2s or a few more mostly level 1s seen managable.
