Thanks!

Dominions Rus is pretty cool.

5:47:00 I hope you don't take all my comments seriously!

5:37:00 IF that monolith appeared on turn 10 1) he'd be in my dominion 2) I'd accuse him of cheating to get TP that fast! Killing them is definitely a problem though

5:06:00 I do like an underground Temple. For 300 I'd definitely fill my cap circle too

4:49:50 Claiming the throne there would be a great way to work on that Dominion EDIT: I see you noticed a turn or two later

3:30 A river with no turning back: clearly the Rubicon! (though really if you can't come back it's just a lack of faith -and you with cheap temples!) 3:58 Feels like you should have given the Ettin a gift when he signed on. It's no wonder he lacks enthusiasm

Feels like that Tree of Knowledge came in from Shadows of Forbidden Gods.

Pun stream with a bit of dominions on the side i see... good good

I suppose THIS is the point where it's no longer all just fun and games. Bionic bladder, the game is literally taking the piss out of you. I spy with my little eye.... Starting to think I'm watching a Dead Space playthrough here. Things are definitely not going off on the right foot. It's the right foot going off.

man your pronunciation of all dos summons lol

Ren has sent an army of clones. "YOU eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddieets!"

I'd recommend not doing the Fire shield route just because there's already one on youtube -the game would certainly be different but D6 content is limited enough it'd be nice to widen the variety

Now that you have steel maybe build some more quality traps + turrets.

1:03:32 Don't forget that Immobile pretender, including Irminsul, generally have the bad forging trait that mean he need 1 more point to forge an item then normally necessary, which means he can't forge hammers at earth 3 (he can do the boots since the boots are earth 2).

If you got lots of undead enemies or throne defenders, you might think about thaumaturgy 5 to unlock "the ravenous swarm".

the Skinshifters are hands down my favourite EA sacred unit. in my game with them i took a bless of undying X3, enchanted blood, blood surge (might be wasted as i can't remember if it stacks with berserk) reinvigoration and magic weapons. in the first year i was able to take cap and 3 tier 1 thrones without a single Skinshifter dying.

Bears! 🐻🐻🐻 I am disappointed that Illwinter has yet to add a bear pretender to the game. An animal that is revered all around the world, with deep mythology, and cults that persist to this very day.

The Leshiy has a forest shape at size 10 and upgraded paths. given the terraform mechanics, Leshiy thugs and supercomabtants in the late game get much more scary if all the plains and farmlands become forests.

Larger + Berserker might be worth it You dont have to worry about Alkonosts to bless because those are active all of the time, and your bears will have 13 attack when they go berserk. You could also add Spirit Sight as another always active bless because you have access to Solar Eclipse and are in the same age as Ubar and Tir Na Nog

1:07:00 how hard did you think about Regen v Enchanted Blood with your Blood Bond?

49:00 I wonder if it would be a good idea to sui-martyr your Prophet (sorry Alfred) once you get H3 flyers so you can have a H4. I suppose it might depend on what Heroic feature he's picked up.

47:00 I definitely like the Zmey as a rear-attacker. That line is going to make bodyguards feel silly so long as you can find targets who don't resist too much fire. Not unbeatable or anything but it strikes me as a great way to spend some fire gems -especially if you can get dragon mastery for bonus summons (both crown and sceptre look easily craftable at Construction 5 and 7)

42:30 2% is a pretty slim bonus but at least they don't cost much. I'd want to be seeing some actual value from them as troops -even if it was only as a mobile reserve -that fire-flare could really help against the right enemy (shades and mannikins come to mind for some reason).

38:00 Likho Script: Fire, Fire*, Retreat. ('ware flyers!) Not much good against PD but one of the few stealthy units who can punish armies for catching them and live to boast about it. * This might be too greedy but you should have some idea who you're up against and r50 is substantial.

Seeing a lot of random potential Astral mages. Probably enough that you actually can count on being able to put a communion or two together for the bigger battle spells.

3:50 I do like a cheap temple -by which I do of course mean a dozen* cheap temples * to start with 20:00 Priest is cheaper for building forts (as well as temples) and more useful when not doing so. He can also pick up some stray troops (though even with xp I think 10 is not going to qualify for real reinforcements. You might also consider scouts for fort building.

That's a lot of options to deal with Zeus. Also this is a literal swarm of bare-bear-ians.

Someone posted a video for Dom 5 testing EA units for all nations and put them in a chart, and Chud Hunters were top 5 for era. When they berserk they have 15 attack for the spear which is very good for repel

Good bless/strategy - and a perfect use of nation strengths for expansion/logistics in contrast to your last one.

I feel like I can get a lot more replayability from this nation than many. I like the variety of good options. Your choice of sharing damage to tick off group berserk with regen is very interesting. I was thinking of a quickness bless, with regen or resists, but I might go with yours.

Holy Bears, Holy Babes, Holy Bird Babes, and Babushka if you're lucky. My Favorite EA faction.

i sure could use a bear in my life

UUUURRRRRAAAAAA

C.H.U.D.

It's Baltic mythology, po perkunais! This nation is quite literally the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, where the Baltic sons of thunder lived alongside the Belarusians and Ukrainians in harmony. All that's missing is an iron wolf.

Rus is a lot of fun and pretty easy to pilot LFG

This feels like a birthday present. I started playing them last night!

Damn, never thought i would laugh at that, but you butchered a lot of names. No harm, just silly fun. Guide is still very good regardless.

Love this week's thumbnail joke 🤣

Nice. Just finished a game with Rus and was looking forward to when you would cover them. Bring on the bears!

I feel better knowing that other people aren't as successful with expansion in Dom6 as they were in Dom5. It felt harder but I thought maybe I was just terrible... Well, I mean, I am pretty terrible, but, um. Anyway. Expansion is a lot more difficult for sure.

❤️‍🩹

No Succubus for Zeus? :(

I'm happy you have a full 3 months of EA left. Just more radically awesome content from the Dominions machine(you). I hope I can actually catch a stream live after I move next month. :)

Fine, I subscribed Are you happy

I survived to the end! Helps when your in a large army with many many waves of meatwalls

Catching this after the fact, should be interesting, I always learn something new.

I dont care for it but i bought it because its my second favorite game and modders will eventually do justice to it probably. I will always favor universal features over theme expansions.... im really annoyed that we have to wait about 2 years for something else. Diplomacy is what i want and is long overdue at this point given how barebones it is. Wont even have a shot at it being expanded until 2026, specially if the driders who will praise anything get their way
