Welp, that was fun , time to bring out the last battles.

One of the largest battles I've ever took part in too:

I am rooting for the army on the right

They are just more interesting

Too bad I think they might have lost.

[Karlito]

No, they won quite handily if the army size graph is anything to go by. Trouble is, I can't really figure out why just from that picture. Agartha seems like they're lacking any mage support, so maybe Yomi had some of those fuzzy blurs cast powerful buffs and/or evocations.

Since she likes to gloat more than she values her military secrets, Your Mother is inclined to provide a moving-pictures depiction of the battle for your perusal.
Trouble is, she doesn't know what she could use to record it.

[Karlito]

Fraps or something? There's a lot of screen capture software out there. I'm pretty sure the free versions all have watermarks and time limits, but I couldn't say which is the best one.

It's a shame that Dominions doesn't have the functionality to export battles without sending over the whole save file. If anyone could just feed the random seed and starting conditions into their own game and have it recreate the battle report it would be most excellent.

[TempAcc]

Dom3 could really use a function like that, considering how batles are broken up in turns with each indivual commander and squad doing its moves, it shouldn't be something entirely hard to do, considering the framework already sort of exists. It could at least export some kind of combat log.

Heh, yeah. I've just been fiddling with this one. Sadly, it would appear that my PC got old-ish somewhere along the way, as it records at a staggering 1 fps, even at low quality.

1 fps, even at low quality.

Pretty much describes Dom 3 combat. 

[Korbac]

NOTIFICAYSHUN : I'm afraid I'm going to be unable to make Monday's turn, due to, umm, partying. I apologise. May I have an extension?

[Il Palazzo]

How much do you need?
As it is now, the next turn will be due on Tuesday between 7AM and 1PM, depending on when TempAcc submits the current one.

(that's GMT of course)

[Karlito]

Oh look, a former Ermor province that I've controlled for at least 20 turns can recruit scouts! I feel really stupid that I haven't noticed that until now. (And I'm pretty sure I've checked).

Probably around 10pm GMT on the Tuesday, if that's okay

O.K., it's done.

I'll just tell you what happened.
Agartha's Hurlers had "fire large monsters" scripted, which made them conserve the boulders for the Dai-Onis that stayed out of range for almost the entire battle. The etheral frontliners kept the ancient ones from advancing, while 200+ wind-guided bakemono archers with flaming arrows did the main damage dealing.
The two Ancient Oracles kept casting blade wind on arrow fend-protected troops, and the only real damage was caused by Earth Readers casting cleansing water at the inexpensive Ao-Onis. The three Wendigos might've caused some damage if used as shock troops, but spent their time casting largely unnecessary spells.

[Karlito]

200+ wind-guided bakemono archers with flaming arrows

Ah yes, that'd do it. There actually aren't too many ways to counter that at this stage. I mean, arrow fend would help considerably, but Agartha probably has trouble casting that. He's ahead in research, but Army of Gold is still probably several months down the line.
