This is the best beginners guide for Dom5 I have ever seen. Not only have you explained the core concepts of the game but you have provided easy to understand examples. So many other RUclipsrs create "easy to understand" guides that are absolutely worthless. They fail to point out the simple details because they take for granted that the audience already knows the reasons behind the tips and tricks they mention. I have been playing Domions since Dom3 but had no clue about what I was doing even after watching and reading countless guides. Your in depth but easy to understand guide have opened my eyes in such a way that words can't describe. Thank you!
Don't forget you can use the "?" key to see a list of keyboard shortcuts almost anywhere in the game. This is only really useful for new players, as the old players just have them all memorized, lol.
I've never sat through an hour tutorial so easily, this video aged well, i just came back to this game randomely and i never really knew how to play thew game. Now i feel confident to jump right in, keep up these tutorials man.
I was looking for a comprehensive starter guide for somebody, who has never seen Dominions before and this is it! Other more known channels on RUclips dumb a lot of useless information or babble around to (unintentionally) fill the time. Starting at 1:45, this guide is well suited, thumbs up!
This is probably one of the most detailed tutorial I have seen in a while. While being still a decent player, it thought me the power of spell casting during battle. Thank you!
My biggest barrier always was (aside from UI) sheer scope of the available magic paths. So many options... always end up completely lost, and path planning is correspondingly difficult, considering that has to encompass both magic, boosters, and crafting. My plans always start and end with something like: “i wanna summon Grigori”
I love this game. You can summon a giant toad, make it sentient, then name it Pepe and make it your prophet. Then teach it how to use blood magic, because why the fuck not. Now it can make it rain blood, or toads, or even jaguars if you are playing Mictlan.
So, I just got into this game after watching another tuber do a series on it. I just wanted to say a preemptive thanks for all the rest of the videos in the series, as I can already tell how useful they are going to be. This game is incredibly deep, I could tell by what I have seen and played so far. The rabbit hole goes much farther than I ever expected.
Thank you so much for this video. Approaching this from a board gaming background, I am accustomed to reading a manual but this is definitely some next level depth here.
"Quickstart Tutorial - Start Playing Fast" = is one hour and thirteen and the first words I hear are "less of a learning curve and more of a learning wall". Yeah this looks like my type of game alright.
Wait, formations don't cut morale off your troops like they did in dom4? That's news for me, lol. I disregarded them for several years already cause I'm usually too worried about my troops not fleeing from battle more than anything else.
Any type of game is a thing, that's the advantage of long term games (i.e. a turn a day). You don't need to find 5 other people right now that want to do a 3v3, just 5 people in general that want to do that. The only issue is that you might have to admin that game, since you can be waiting for a while expecting someone else to set that game up.
This is a really great tutorial (I'm assuming. I haven't played the game, but it's very in depth.) Unfortunately, the only thing I really retained is that I am far to stupid to play the game, lol.
complicated but hey i think i like the game will probably never play mult since i dont like mult and im in a third world country cant play with people even if i want to

I found dastactics content helpful as well
Sean Warren Yeah his video series was great, he’s a nice guy too

I think this is the best general overview of Dom5 I've seen so far. Good editing for pacing, plenty of visual examples to see what it's all about.

Oh, water magic, what could it be? A water elemental? An ice sword? Frosty shields for your warriors? No.. no it's rain. Just.. rain.

Nice to see another quality youtuber making videos about Dom 5.

Thank you!
A quick start tutorial over 1 hour...I see I'm among friends lol

If only I had a dime for each "don't worry too much about this, because it can be a little overwhelming for you at the beginning" attica said here...
I miss this channel :(
Ty for this turtorial, That laugh at 11.40, gotta love it :D

Awesome that you take the time to educate us all - keep them cool vids comming!
Thank you so much for this video. Approaching this from a board gaming background, I am accustomed to reading a manual but this is definitely some next level depth here.
Awesome guide man! I had done a couple games, did decently enough but had a few problems. You got me all sorted out.
47:40 😂🤣 lol they got your commander from so far
I've had the game for 2 years and not once have i won yet i still play it.
Try easier difficulty
I like middle age the most due to the nations and equipment used.
Fantastic video! DOM 6 awaits.

We miss you Attica!

Wow i know this is a old vid, But i found it so cool and packed with info, Im going to fire up the game. thanks
Honestly even a guide from dom 3 could be usefull in some way
This guide was super helpful, thanks!
This is a great damn tutorial and I appreciate it a lot.
SsethTzeentach is going to make a video about this game sooner or later, I hope this takes off.
lol

Awesome tutorial! Well done.
Great video; thank you!
This is a great guide, thank you
great video, thanks
Thanks for this amazing video, super helpful! :)
Great tutorial, thx!
thanks for this!
Bro your vids are great. Dominions is the best game. Do you know if 3v3 disciple games are a thing?
Any type of game is a thing, that's the advantage of long term games (i.e. a turn a day). You don't need to find 5 other people right now that want to do a 3v3, just 5 people in general that want to do that. The only issue is that you might have to admin that game, since you can be waiting for a while expecting someone else to set that game up.
@@ulizez89 where can i go to find people that are playing at least one blitz per day?
@@sheepthief2785 probably the main discord server (the one run by althaea) is your best bet for blitz games.
@@ulizez89 how do i find that im not used to discord
@@sheepthief2785 I think steam has a thread with the mo communities, it should be there.
This is a really great tutorial (I'm assuming. I haven't played the game, but it's very in depth.)
Unfortunately, the only thing I really retained is that I am far to stupid to play the game, lol.
i wish battles are 2d like in Conquest Of Elysium 5
how imprison affect gameplay
I have Dom 4. Worth the upgrade?
I suggest lich they respawn after 3 turns
good vid thanks
For 1 hour and 10 minutes I tried really hard to hear what you had to say. And at 1.12 you suddenly got normal sound. Yeah. Thanks.
👍
complicated but hey i think i like the game will probably never play mult since i dont like mult and im in a third world country cant play with people even if i want to
not an excuse. turns last a whole day. can play with people from all over the world
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says game
