Confluence Total War, a journey with the Fay
This Dominions 5 game was played from April 2021 to November 2021. It’s a game featuring all the nations of the magnificent Confluence Mod created by Executor, meaning a 24 players game on a map with 484 provinces (including 36 water provinces). The 24 nations are from all ages (EA, MA and LA), all from […]
The Nation and the Build
The Nation (Warning : this nation is the most complex nation I ever played in Dominions, so this is the longest post of this overall short AAR, as I go into details about it) Elphame is a tricky nation, with lots of specific mechanics, strengths and weaknesses, and making things work together is not that […]
Early expansion
My plans for expansion were to use mostly knights, backed up by either pixies or Autumn fays to make ennemies sitting ducks (pixies have MR resist attacks to “paralyze” ennemies with False fetters, autumn fays an MR-resist earth melding ranged attack). Also in some cases using the flying Wee folks to attack the backlines was […]
The first conflict with Antikythera
So my expansion had been a bit slower than I wanted and the robots had expanded into my extended cap circle (2 provinces). It didn’t feel right, and I made the bold move to enforce that extended cap circle, thus de-facto declaring war on them. A small conflict ensued, and 1 battle decided the fate […]
The druids of Nemeton get greedy
So this is the most important conflict of the game for me, as it brought me a lot of important ressources and paved the way for the next conflicts. It was also the toughest. In the south-west of my kingdom, there were a few provinces that connected to Nemeton by a small 1 province corridor. […]
Finishing the Spooders
I had had a good NAP with Azarien, but they had done some mercenary work for Nemeton, spamming “Vengeance of the dead” on my pretender that had already more than 3000 kills. Thankfully that didn’t work and I got lucky in the 2 first turns, until I could raise her to 30+ MR. But this […]
The national stuff that went right and wrong
Elphame can summon 1 different high-quality mage queen per season, each with different crosspaths. You can “Break the Cycle” to limit yourself to 1 of them all year. I believed it was possible to break it with all seasons and had planned on it (but it shouldn’t have been the case and was only partially […]
The Aurum robbery
After the Azarien and Nemeton wars, I had a large border with Aurum. At the time they had large armies on the borders, but they got attacked heavily by Khora and started to move those armies to face them. At some point, I figured they were losing and launched turn 58 an alpha-strike taking 11 […]
The Khora purge
When I decided to launch my Alpha-strike, Khora had 2 armies besieging the 2 last Aurum forts. 1 big army on top of his cap, and 1 medium army on top of the other fort. I launched the attack so that his armies were entirely surrounded, and thanks to my extra-mobility in my dominion, I […]
