Keep your colossal fetish away from me!

the colossal fetish also has the best attack sprite in the game

Oh lawd he comin'!

Would the colossal fetish take a recuperation bless? That could do some great work for him and also be nice for tarts if you kept the high death

That's actually massive brain I would do that. There's a lot he took for the cap only sacreds you could reasonably cut to get it too. Gift of health also works for tarts but it can be taken down.

Whyd you say attica, we miss him!

Its always seemed a bit silly to me that strength of gaia gives barkskin but requires 1 earth, so anyone able to cast it can cast ironskin.

The earthpart gives reinvigoration

I mean I get for some nations that some of the basic, wizards, crone, and other such small guys makes the most sense. But I think that getting rid of them and only keeping the national ines, eg: The Great Bouda/Sorceror, the Vampire Queen, Nemedian/Morgen/Tuatha Queen, should be around.

You said the witch doctor can't do bane fire, but if you give them just 1 death gem they can.

Fetish is cool, but mind a few other weak spots: - If it gets turn timer'd, it will die. Howl by itself usually is enough. - It will kill smasher thugs pretty easily in most cases with hand of death (and better stuff later), but you still have to be mindful of the shatter spell. - Usual rainbow resist + strength bless can overwhelm its defense (won't be seeing that in this game though) IMO Phoenix is unusable as expander in any meaningful way (at best it can cast behind expansion army?). It's not bad as a dormant or imprisoned option if you need the paths though, especially in this format, since it's priced like a rainbow as long as you don't buy new paths. Something that mobile that can put up fog warriors etc and do the occasional magic phase --> elemental summon spam punish without usual risk isn't the WORST thing you could take dormant given the price.

I wonder if swapping strength to an incarnate level 6 bless for +4 Str would take enough power away from imprisoned rainbows. Since strength is better than weapon blesses in most cases it seems weird to make it a non incarnate bless.

Ftr, it is pronounced bow-da as in "the actor took a bow" not buddha

If you twiceborn a witch doc, does it keep Disease healer when it dies?

Is the spider clan witch doctor worth making one for budget site searching?

well its an awake hellbless, with elf blessy components... unlike most elf blesses we have absolutely horrible scales. but yeah theres some similiarities.

I'm trying to teach my 9 yr old son the proper pronunciation of "skellington" but he keeps resisting and wanting to use the incorrect "skeleton." He's pretty stubborn. He does speak Spanish, so "Banditos" does, at least, make some sense to him, although even then he tends to insist on the improper English version with me, since I only speak English for other words.

When I first started playing dominions 5, I was constantly told rainbows were "greedy" and not to use them. Now they are taking over the meta?

I mean, Rainbows are greedy (ie, they can't keep you safe from rushes if you don't have decent troops or a good plan for the first few years), but that doesn't mean they aren't strong.

The three most common picks have been Awake Expanders, Dormant Titans, and Imprisoned Rainbows. As expansion has become better solved and player skill at holding off rushes has increased, the greedier Imprisoned Rainbows have become dominant. The need for Awake Expanders in order to expand well has decreased, the utility of them in an early war has decreased, and the scale dumping that they cause has become a greater liability as games go longer. Bless Rush nations are plenty strong using Imprisoned Rainbow blesses, and so the two most picked build types now are Imprisoned Rainbows (which are greedy) and Dormant Titans that are designed specifically to prop up weaker nations defensively against bless-rushers. The key reason that Imprisoned Rainbow has become so dominant is that the Rainbow Bless is strong on bless-rush nations even before the Pretender awakens. They help strengthen the mid-late prospects of these already strong nations, and increase the odds that they can convert a strong early game into a win with good scales and diversity. These bonuses are strong for any kind of nation, but can be greedy on nations without any way to stop bless-rushers. This is where the Dormant Titan comes in.

Metas in Dominions 5. That just sounds kinda weird, but that's probably because I honestly see this game as more of a fantasy empire simulator rather than a super competitive war game. Of course the setting and method of gameplay is turn-based war strat, but my mind is just stuck on it being more of a simulator than a hardcore war game. Even multiplayer games.
