The current unit count is 1400. In dom2 it is 1101. Showing 1-5% of the most used troops is actually not a good way of spotting little used troops. It's a receipt for nerfing rather than improvements.

Thanks anyway! It's always interesting to hear about how people play dominions. It was a while since I played an MP game, but I believe I have never played it long enough to see the gigantic deepness of it. I have probably never played a game that lasted beyond turn 65.

Hopefully some ppl will participate but if most ppl agree that when they can they use almost exclusively devils , tartarians etc. then you could see it also the other way round to up the other troops a bit .

In my mordor mod i try this by making the orks cost only 1-2 gold in order to be massed .

So not the 5-10% of units and commanders which proove to be good in this poll should be nerfed but the rest of the units should be upped .
If militia would cost only 1 gold i would probably buy hordes of militia every turn . Also if knights would need only few resource costs in lategame i would buy lots of knight armies as well .
But atm in unmodded dominions even if you would pick a productivity scale + a good castle you just can't build more then 10-15 per turn unless you have a 200 province empire .
In lategame thanx to fever fetish hoarding i would have though an extra income of 5000-15000 gold per turn from my fetishes alone cause i wish for 1 ulm master alchemist pretender in lategame then i get 30 gold per fever fetish , if i also have the alchemist stone even more .

The only nation which can build national troops en masse in dominoins 2 is though ryleh where you could just build hordes of illithids and then gateway them to the front .


You should once try a lategame maybe Kristoffer it could be fun .
When you have a gemincome of 500+ gems per turn you can start even completely new strats like successfully using globals like haunted forest .
In my current mp game with machaka i planned exactly this , casting a 999 gem haunted forest . I had there the 30% enchantment bonus site so it would have been probably almost undispellable .
I would have bought then 125 pd in every single province and out of a sudden the crappy machaka militia becomes invincible . 567 possible manikins from my pd alone . I would have parked 1 patrolling tartarian in every province also and i guess this "province defence" would have required then extreme effort to be taken out
