Hiya folks,
I welcome you to my thread of the battle between myself and Uno in Dominions 4. This is an amazing game and I look forward to playing it versus another person. This game has tremendous depth and strategy for a turn based game with no diplomacy to speak of. I am new to Dominions, but UnO has played Dom 3 before. I welcome all questions, comments, and help(!) that y'all want to give.
Anyway, here goes....
Unfortunately, with all the struggles to get this going, I didn't take any screens from the very beginning of the game. However, the beginnings of most games are the same and not that interesting. I am playing as the nation Abysia, from the middle ages. Knowing that UnO was going to be playing as an nature/death nation, I figured that fire and astral would be the counter to them. I also saw that Uno went with an immobile, monolith type pretender god. So, even though I normally go with a mobile pretender, I also went with an immobile one. Mine is a glyph. There are three ways that you can do your pretender. It can be awake, and have few overall abilities. Dormant, which means that it arrives after the first year, and has moderate abilities. Or, imprisoned, which means arrives after three years but can be very powerful. In the process of making your pretender, you can either put a lot of points in its abilities, or more into what your dominion abilities are. I went with a dormant pretender and bumped my dominion strength up to 6, production to 3, order to 1, and growth to 1.
To win, and ascend to the one true god, you have to capture thrones of ascension. There are 4 level one thrones on this map and you have to claim three to win it.
Here is the map we are playing on( this was a few turn into the game):
