One thing to note about the Nushi is that it is great for high water access and breaking you into higher nature access. With water it can get you to elemental royalty and then with nature It can make your nature one mages better by crafting the thistle maces for them. While unable to really leave their direct sphere of influence, the nushi will provide a lot of support for your front lines with this extra summoning capacity and item forging
That first yomi stream was what finally clicked Dom with me, after owning and failing at 4 and 5. I'm still awful, but at least I've got the understanding of what a game of Dominions actually looks like, and the glories of Soul Vortex. Even kicked off a Dom themed dnd game -- pity the fool who has to go through the spellbound and translate spells to 5e (it's me, I'm the fool)
I created a Oni Kunshu Pretender with the following: Awake F5, E7, D3 Dom 4 T3, S2, H2, G1, L2, M2 Bless: Fortitude Attack Skill Reinvigoration Undead Command The advantage over the statue is that it is mobile. Thought you might want to check it out.
I like having an awake and mobile pretender. You're never going to have enough guys researching, site searching and crafting, so any flexibility the pretender can offer is great. My current build: Master Enchanter, awake F5, A2, W3, E3, D2, N7, G2 D4, T3, S2, H2, G0, L1, M2 Superior Morale Attack Skill Shock Resistance Cold Resistance Swimming Undead Command Regeneration I'm sure it's nowhere near optimal, but I do think it has a lot to offer. Swimming has been surprisingly valuable when expanding with Dai Oni, especially with heat scales. Shock and Cold resistance complete the resistance set but may be overkill for most situations. The scales aren't great, but the wide path spread means you have good odds of finding enough sites to get crafting going. The G2 could easily be replaced by S2 (at the risk of mind duels) or B2.
I feel like the Shikome have not been given their due. They are incredibly easy to mass, and beserker +4 with 2 attacks makes them absolute blenders. I like to take hard skin and fortitude which is good to free up some scripting space on Dai oni too. These ladies go hard. They also don‘t get countered by magic weapons, which can surprise people and punish them for taking that into their bless. Magic Weapons is expensive enough that there is a real opportunity cost in taking it over other stuff
I like just playing pure Dai Oni and supplementing it with recruiting bakemono in the mountains. Master enchanter 2F3A2W3E3D7N6G 2xReinvig Regen Awe. 4D 3T 2S 2F 2D 2L. Gets you a whopping 71 research st the start of the game so you can rush Alt and Enc, and because i conquer so fast with Dai Oni i can make use of other dominions while keeping mine unspreaded like Mictlan.
Will you still be around to get const 7 and Thaum 6? That was my concern. End of Culture is a pretty big power spike if you can get it before you are in trouble!
@@BabelBuilder It'll really depend. You want those lightless lanterns, research skulls and thug gear on a dai oni isn't a terrible way to deal with certain problems. If I was in a situation where I really wanted gear over soul vortex, I'd take that as an opportunity to get the boosters for end of culture. If I'm playing phoenix pyre soul vortex I'm probably capable of getting away without end of culture to some extent anyway, but if near naked dai oni aren't cutting it with those spells, infinite ko oni might overwhelm the problem in a way the Dai Oni can't, and geared super combatant dai oni might be more resilient against the enemy counters.
On the enchantress is there a reason for going fire above level 4 (Easy booster helmet Con5 to get L5)? If not then you can get to levels 2 in air, earth, Death, nature - access to Air/Nature summons and to magic weapons glamour summons (but rather late) + add reinvigoration or say SR5 to bless & get various boosters e.g. use Earth boots to get glamour booster etc.
Yes! >< If you are built for super combatant Dai Oni, go with them since they are going to be your expansion for probably longer than the first year. Luckily, we do have 300g temples.
I take inspiring presence x3 to make the little onis unbreakable 😂 And i station big onis in provinces and in mountainous provinces and caves to get the sacred oni spawn 😊
"He can be banished by priests, a fact he is unaware of."
I love it when the devs have a sense of humour.
Awkward...
Subbed to support more Dominions content, seems good so far!
Welcome. Hope you enjoy all the content. Feel free to ask any questions.
Finally starting to catch up after being busy with work for a few months. First thing i noticed was the new mic. Congrats!
Thanks. Still working on getting the audio 100% dialed in, but it is way better than where we started. You got a ton of content to enjoy!

Breaking into new magic paths is always great!
This my personal favourite nation, also my first contact with your channel :)
One of us; one of us!

Man, that is so great to hear, thank you! That Yomi stream was the first real "successful" video I had, so it has a special place in my heart.
I created a Oni Kunshu Pretender with the following:
Awake
F5, E7, D3
Dom 4
T3, S2, H2, G1, L2, M2
Bless:
Fortitude
Attack Skill
Reinvigoration
Undead Command
The advantage over the statue is that it is mobile.
Thought you might want to check it out.
Fortitude is nice for the bois, and the attack skill will make the repels even better!
And the wheel turns once again. Back to the beginning.
Started playing a week ago and I main yomi, its pretty fun, I like that heroes playstyle
You should check out LA Phlegra and their Laestrygonian Tyrant when you want someone different but still focused on super combatants.
Love making flying thugs . Unsurroundable is a potential goodie too
Giants get some decent use out of unsurroundable.

Regeneration

Yomi is a nation that always feels like you just need MORE!
The problem with fire arrows on bakemono is an undisciplined tag, which limits the amount of people you can buff.
Great point, still might be useful at times.
Just put them at the front of the flanks. They're made for casualties

Magic weapons are a good counter to Yomi in general, so this is a nice way to side-step that for sure!

Experimented much with getting them down into the cave layer?
Fairly common fire 3 Dai Onis can get a skull of fire and a fire helmet to end of culture I think.

Do you think it's more important to get temples up right away or recruit a Di Oni?
Yes! ><

WG1 always taking care of the little oni!
