>>1098569 Bump.

ngmi

Just remove "general" from the title and you're golden.

i love my xibalba family!

I'm down for a game if you lads are

>domg >not for domination, gentle what a RIPOFF

>>1102283 You can get dominated by a dryad lad

blitzmin if you're here I can't connect to my games have a lizard

There might be someone starting a new lobby soon.

>>1098569 https://beta.blitzserver.net/game/580#status Lobby

>>1116681 Am I welcome if I'm shit at videogames? I might play tonight

>>1116719 Everyone is welcome. Might take a little while to fill the lobby up though.

>>1116681 Fuck it i'll join, been years since Ive played. Give me a nation to give a go.

>>1117067 It's MA so Ulm if you just wanna play total war, Man if you wanna play stronger ulm or Ashdod if you're a big fan of usury. The game is using a few overhaul mods so connect to the server first to download them automatically then make your pretender afterwards because the mod influences the cost of pretenders. I'll submit my pretender tomorrow.

>>1116681 i fucked her

>>1117480 I remember play Man and Ulm in 5, I'll give Ashdod a go. I'll try to come up with something interesting.

Hmmm I tried to join but it doesnt show my pretender

>>1121195 Should be fixed now.

>>1116950 I'm in. I'm warning you, I really have very little idea of what I'm doing.

How does 6 compare to 5? I've only played a bit of 5.

>>1127643 not worth the price tag on features alone, more of a glorified major update, but since almost all the MP action happens on 6 now what you're actually paying for is access to the playerbase. i think consensus is that it's an okay entry but not a real sequel. illfraud certainly didnt break the mould with this one. personally was hoping they would at least pretend to be developing a game whose sales rely on multiplayer and give their game an overhaul with that perspective, but it seems they've become even more isolated

>>1127643 >>1128115 I can see your point in not breaking the mould. However, having seen a lot of new strategy game sequels change so much for no reason and forgetting large parts of previous entries, (COH3, AOE4, Victoria 3, Homeworld among many others) I'm honestly fine with just "same format but just more things". In their defense the changes aren't exactly inconsequential: An underground layer, bigger unit sizes, mount changes, fog of war, more nations, terrain transformation, pretender rebalancing, new magic path, among other things. Also every entry has years of patches, hotfixes and further additions to the game, so you're not buying just the release. Dominions has a niche formula that shouldn't need much changing. If I can pay 40€ every few years for all that for my autism map game then it's worth it.

>>1128445 i'm mostly bitter about the "what could've been" aspect. there is so much cool and interesting stuff just sitting there, not even really out of grasp. here's hoping for a competent competitor series lmao

>>1126442 In as Ashdod, no idea what I'm doing.

How long do games usually take to fill?

Bumping. I tested my expansion and am satisfied - I took my first throne on turn 14. Can't wait for that to be sheer luck and to get utterly BTFO in 20 turns in the actual game!

>>1137083 It would depend on how many games were currently in session and how many were ending. If you had a couple of games that just ended it would only take a few days, sometimes you could wait a week or two if a lot had already started. The lobby launches tomorrow btw. >>1140984 No expansion test survives first contact with multiplayer.

Game is started, gonna sage the thread since it's not a generals board. Game discussion happens on the thread linked in the game lobby. hf.

>>1177994 Ah cool, best of luck everyone >>1177994

which refugeechan do i complain on about blitzserver being down now?
