that's basically what end-game big battles are like

But the potato needs another layer. Something to make me seem more fun and less grouchy. Nobody wants to engage with a jerk or a stick in the mud. So the Mr PotatoHead diplo strategy is what I will now be practicing. I'm a potato, but I'm fun and goofy!

apologies, will do!

That is truly the best move, not to play

Thank you for the feedback! I'll write a guide eventually, I do have notes I wrote for this, before I recorded it.

​@@dominion-master-officialI'd like to second this idea. This is a great guide! I'm looking forward to whatever is next.

@@lowlife4103 thank you sir!

Thank you sir!

cross-game relationships are usually as you say, unless everyone knows you're a sneaky diplomancer and that's your style. I've had games where someone gets attacked by 5 people at once and they don't bother doing diplo with them, they go straight to me because they know, based on their history playing with me - that I'm the ring leader.. and if they make a deal with me I'll steer everyone else. Also had games where someone didn't want to include me in a coalition despite it being otherwise perfectly logical to do so, because they were afraid that I would poison the well and manipulate people into bad outcomes... It's not necessarily that people hold a grudge or want to be allies by default, it's just that they know what you're up to which reduces your space to diplomance.

@@dominion-master-official yea sometimes that shit just fucking sucks, I play in domg games but only using ingame diplo/the thread can make communicating more difficult. but hey, knowing that youre good enough at diplo to scare people away just means that you can keep being ruthless and use the position to your advantage - I haven't had too many coalitions formed against me in dom6, but I have seen a lot of people complaining about them more often, it is more beneficial to 2v1 rather than 1v1, BUT it can also put you in a spot thats bad diplomatically as everyone will see you as someone who's "getting a free win" and thats reason to gang up. imo there's a middle ground sweet spot - a fine balance between winning a war/winning it TOO hard that's hard to maintain the image of so people don't get scared off/feel threatened by any action you take would love to play in a game vs you at some point and see the diplo-mancy in action

Join my discord and you'll catch me in some games there, I play regularly.

Minotaurs being size 4 can stack a tile with enlarged size 6 centaurs.. they have some situations where they are really good... this was not one of them! If I was being optimal then using normal centaurs for expansion would have been better

@@dominion-master-official Ooh! I completely missed how well they fit together! (not that I've actually ever enlarged my centaurs)

@@Timlagor yea they combo well together if I'm storming forts for example - the centaurs really have trouble getting through the chokepoint but minotaurs are perfect for "pushing out" guys who are holding the door... allowing more centaurs and other units to pour in.

thank you and glad you like it! The game gets more technical the further it goes :)

you're right! sorry that's my mistake. I realized I made that mistake and thought to do audio later, but forgot to do it before uploading it. Thanks for watching :)

Thank you for your comment and feedback, I'll up the audio on future videos. I talk too quietly.. and I'll put the dominions soundtrack ontop for next videos.

@@dominion-master-official its all good! This was interesting to watch, never heard of this game til now

@@MoreBeesThanNecessary oh funny! It's a great game if you're into niche indie gems. It has a cult following with many players who have 1000s of hours in the game. This game is currently ongoing, if you join my discord you can see more of it. It's 80 player multiplayer which I don't know any other game could support that.

@@dominion-master-official sure! I'll check it out!

Correct me if I'm wrong I think you're missing context, which would be my bad. This is for a fictional universe set in a ww1-like time period (but without the war) .. there's magic, tanks, factories and airplanes... lots of new ideas and misplaced optimism for the future.

@@dominion-master-official ah man, haha- no worries, that's all on me.. I was listening a bit passively and thought you were talking about medieval historic times.. Still makes you wonder and admire how they manufactured things back then

@@dissolvingthedivide I think in this context, making nearly perfect geometric patterns (seals) would be extremely difficult right. Probably a *lot* of trial an error and some engravers would come up with now lost (and redundant) ways of doing it.

@@dominion-master-official haha, yea I hear ya

yea its an old map from at least dom4.. i really like it personally, but you dont see it much anymore

alright I'll try a bit louder. I thought that keeping audio low it catches less static and background noise
