The reason that the extra resources the home province is getting from the newly taken province don't seem to add up, is that provinces without a fortification can only use half their actual resources for production and that is also the number shown in the province info. The province therefore have another 128 "hidden" resources and those are drawn from first. The fort in the home province is therefore taking 45% of 128x2 which adds up to 115 resources added to the home province. Since 115 is less than 118, only the "hidden" resources are taken from and the province is unaffected.

A bit of info about the changes to blesses in pretender creation, your bless points in dominions 6 are now pooled and can be spent however you wish so it is possible to have both barkskin and recuperation as long as you have at least 6 nature and 11 bless points (you gain bless points from all magic paths, so you don't need 11 nature to get both.)

@@asgoritolinasgoritolino7708Aye, it opens up a lot of interesting options! The overall amount of bless power has been reduced, I think, but it’s increased the versatility a lot.

I've been watching too many of your tutorials! It's time to say thanks!

Wow, I did not realize the release was just a few days away, so exciting, put a lot of time into Dominions 4 and 5.

Really appreciate it Das! I’ve been really looking forward to Dom6 release bc I never played them before and didn’t want to buy 5 right now. All the info I can get is great, ty!

Super happy to see you back making Dominions content!

Oh yeah! I still remember winning a DOM 5 key from you Das! it got me hooked good with the whole Dominions games. I'm really looking forward to DOM 6

For anyone curious about this game or considering moving on from dom5 - would like to say the new editions is absolutely worth it. Dom6 has so many new spells, features, a whole new school of magic, so much added on in both small and large senses. Illwinter also continues updating their game for many years, some of the most interesting and creative nations in dom5 were added months or years after its release, so it will only continue improving~

Awesome, just learned that there was a new dominion coming out yesterday. Thanks

Woo! I am so hype! I even got thursdag and friday off work ;)

@Mewobiba

Part of the issue I think is that newly designed nations since Dom4+ are almost always quite nuanced and with unique mechanics, so it's down to either this or using an extremely old nation like Abysia.

Great video, when is thge next one?

So the first thing I thought of is that this is a really good Death nation. Twiceborn on the cap only mages as they almost always have 3 death if not when spawned, then when revived. So thats amazing Death/Air crosspath with the ability to communion. I've tried it myself against AI and what I've come up with is: Get a good defensive or offensive bless for the Sacreds during expansion, this nation doesnt need great scales but shouldnt take a pretender that is more than dormant. In the midgame its massed chaff with swarm spam, ice elementals, and skele-spam, and the later the game goes the more undead you spam out, my method had quite a Helheim feel in the endgame with cloud trappeezeing in Wailing Winds and Winds of Death. I'm very much liking this new nation in PvE. But we'll see in time how it feels in PvP.

Fun tidbit, Nidavangr would mean Scolding/Accusation Field, or possibly Curse Field if it's derived from the more recent witchcraft meaning.

Q: Do underground provinces count for adjacency bonuses? Like if you put a fort in a provice, and it has an "excellent resources" cave underneath it, will it give resources to the above ground fort?

And Dominions 4. I'm wondering what's changed from the old games because it doesn't look like much.

Nitpicky, but Nidbathed is nid-bathed; they've had a ritualistic bath. Technically the 'nid' is also probably pronounced like 'need', but that's an even smaller nit.

I see the name of the God is cut off by the icons. Seems they should bring those icons down to the next layer of economy icons?

Totally irrelevant, but charming to call them Nidbathed as if the last two syllables are distinct words or parts of words. Im pretty sure its just Nid bathed, as in bathed in Nid

@Flackon

6 ай бұрын

I assumed the same thing, and reading the lore where it literally says they are "bathed in the waters of the Nidaketthil" just confirmed it, lol

Feel like those apprentices would be decent with magic scales. Depending on the build, they could be good point-buff casters in a pinch and be cheap research monkeys. Especially considering the access to air magic for owl quills. It isn't super fast research, but I think they would still be efficient by dom5 standards. Not sure how the transition to dom6 would change that calculus though

Great. Now I have to play this for 547 hrs

Note to ant new player watching this: In a real game you should absolutely NOT spend several turns building up. Generally you want to move out and start capturing provinces on turn 2. It might not be as important against AI opponents, but in multiplayer, even moving out on turn 3 instead of 2 will put you at a great disadvantage.

This is probably true, but apparently expansion is more difficult in dominions 6 (though we're hearing mixed reports from beta testers that it's gotten easier through development), so it's possible that in 6 a competitive expansion will be slower than it was in older games in the series.

Do anyone know what Dominion 6 will cost in the EU?

New nations, numerous UI and QoL improvements, various mechanical changes like the split between rider and mount, various changes to blesses and bless points, new magic path in glamour, astral and blood communions no longer being compatible, cost adjustements for various units (particularly mages), Province scales now going all the way to 5 but only going up to 2 at most natively, with magic, events and pretender chassis altering that native limit into dangerous and terraforming inducing territory (growth 5 for examply turning provinces into forrests or cold 4 and 5 causing province population death) as well as probably a whole load of other things I'm not thinking about.
