Thanks for mentioning that. The problem with the Betiraasai was that its other form didn't have a sprite assigned. I thought that it would just use the sprite of the gazelle itself, but it really needed its own copyspr as well. Now fixed, plus some typos that I also noticed while testing.

There's an error with the EA when you summon the Betiraasai; if you try to change the shape into a Gazelle it breaks the game

This mod made me buy dominions 6

Thanks daddy Yakub.

♫FATHER OF MINE TAKE ME BACK TO THE DAY YEAH, WHEN I STILL YOUR GOLDEN BOY.
BACK BEFORE YOU WENT AWAY♫

I still cant tell of the whole thing was serious

Instantly my favorite faction. 10/10, would invent Whites again.

Kino

I am Yakub's strongest experiment.

I don't think the first two would end up thematically appropriate, but Dom5 had a mod nation called "Adam-Ondi-Ahman" based on Mormon myths.

You should do Scientology, North Korean Juche ideology and Mormonism off the top of my head

Also, the NOI has no money, don't fear any real consequences for this, they can't afford to be litigious

If you ever get the chance, you should 100% look up Spirit Science. You'll find A LOT of material to work with.

Nice! Never would've thought of them as a nation in Dominions. I look forward to it!

However, I do have loose ideas for another set of 3 nations based on the Holy Tablets, one of the major source texts for this mod. I have recently started the very beginnings of a new nation, working tile is "Yahwehan, Choice of the Adamites". Mechanically, the nation will feature 'Adamite' humans, newly created (or cloned) by the Aluhum (Annunaki) and they have 'gone forth and multiplied'. At this same cosmological time, various 'proto-divine' beings have been bound to this planet by the command of ANU, A'LYUN A'LYUN EL (the Pantokrator), creating morality. The Adamites will have access to summoning rituals to bring forth various Pretender gods' chassis, but at a lower power level. There will also be other mythical creatures that can be summoned. I'm thinking of giving the human Adamite mages astral, earth, and blood magic, with summoned creatures broken-up into that.

I didn't make this mod for any of its controversy, but instead because it was an interesting story that NEEDED to be translated to Dominions. The subjects mentioned in Lampcouch's comment below might be worth pursuing for someone as a mod, not me though. After spending months working on this mod, I'm not about to commit that much time and effort again for at least a while. There's no shortage of materials, beliefs, 'conspiracy theories', or religious systems out there for someone else to explore and make a mod out of.

@Baronfuming are there any other IRL taboo religious histories you'd like to make into nations? I find mods like these super intriguing!

Also fwiw dominions is full of stuff which is kind of problematic if you stop to think about it for like, two seconds. I don't think this mod (or the NoI mythology in general) is any worse than anything else in the base game.

I LOVE YOU YAKUB!!!

I like this mod a lot, I think real-life occultism would be a great source for material to add to dominions.

No worries. EA seemed a little meh in SP but the MA nation is very interesting so far. I love digesting weird esoteric stuff in the form of a mod for one of my favorite games :)
Thankyou for making this.

I'm sitting down and I'm LEARNING.

Thanks for mentioning this! I meant to go back and update the item slots of some of the grafted troops, but must have been distracted by something else. Now it is fixed.

The second shape on the Pelan Phalanx commander doesn't seem to actually get 2 more hand slots. Not sure if intended or not.

I'm not sure what the point of this comment is. This mod draws from entirely different sources. My goal was to creatively explore a syncretic mix of beliefs, much like how other nations in Dominions are inspired by mythological or historical sources. Equating this mod with esoteric Nazism is misguided. While the racial aspects can be considered problematic, re-contextualizing them in a mythological fantasy disarms their more harmful elements, allowing for a nuanced experience. No one is going to think of white people as deformed cavemen after playing this unless they already do. Critical thinking, maturity, and nuance are essential.

This Dominions nation is based on a mythologized racial superiority legend. I understand nobody here supports the belief system.

Please understand I do not support nor promote Estoteric Nazism, nor do I know anything more than reading wikipedia on the concept and strolling through the historical links.

Its adherents sought to reinterpret the tenets of the Third Reich within a new religious context. It emphasizes the mythical and spiritual aspects of Aryan supremacy, drawing from various sources such as Theosophy, Ariosophy, and Gnostic dualism. This concept was further developed by groups such as the Thule Society, which blended nationalism with mystical beliefs, positing a mythical Aryan homeland known as Hyperborea. The ideology evolved, with Savitri Devi and Miguel Serrano emerging. Devi integrated Nazi ideology with Hinduism, depicting Hitler as a divine figure, while Serrano introduced extraterrestrial elements

god bless yakub my ancestor

*Bob Head*

1.the story and image of yakub is intriguing and the mythology it creates and weaves into itself is fascinating
2. thanks yakub

Thank you Yakub for creating me

LOL
I guess it was only a matter of time.

I revised the nurse's description in an abundance of caution. There must be a balance between staying true to the source material and staying on the good side of this platform.

The Pelan hoplite seems to have its resource cost marked at 49 accidentally unless I'm missing something that makes them more valuable than the chariots. Also, you definitely might want to rewrite the Pelan Nurse description in particular. I think something that explicit is a ToS violation. Honestly otherwise surprised how fun this mod of a weird pseudomythology is.

based mod you should check out memeage (its on blitzserver), theres a nation in it with Yakub

"AGREED"

Thanks for adding my dad to the game.

I finally feel represented in Dominions. Thank you.

I See you visit master Yakub in Hyperborea to.

I made this mod because the underlying mythology is a clever syncretic mix of various cultural and religious inspirations. I suggest you take this as seriously as one would any other nation for Dominions. As an organization, the Nation of Islam continues to exist regardless of this mod. I don't think there is any harm caused by having this Yakub mod. I attempted to be thoughtful in my presentation of the various aspects within. Give it a try, and I hope you will be impressed!

why did you make a mod based on a horrifically racist conspiracy theory? the nation of islam is a terrorist group that openly advocates for mass violence and outright genocide of every single person that is not muslim and black. you should at least distance yourself from that bunch of lunatics

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just did an update that fixed or improved a lot of things. (read the change notes for details) The idea of interns having a penalty to magic paths is a very good one. Also added a new 'higher-end' mage for MA Pelan.

Aryan mod

aryan mod

Love it.

hahahah

minor stuff i saw

EA

shabazz maceman shabazz heavy captain and shabazz heavy infantry all have 9 natural protection which does not seem intended as they are normal humans

shabazz captains (ranger, spearmen, heavy infantry) have the same descriptions as units.

MA

Palesteed knight has lowered attack from dual wield or two handed as mounted (idk what it is but dom 6 introduced it)

Pelan heavy infantry and Captain have archer stats

grafted hoplite and captain have very low attack of 4 (caused by two very long weapons, increase ambidextrous, captain has 0 ambi)

Pelan captains (hoplite, heavy infantry) have the same description as units

LA

diabolic lord description says turn into sacred devil (it turns into devil lord)

cool mod kind of schizo

my creator :)

this is the best mod for dominions 6 so far

The problem with interns can probably be fixed the same way e.g. Dragons have different paths in different forms: give interns all magic their upgraded version should have, and then add malus (that will only apply to their intern form).

From what I can tell, magic paths seem to be set when a unit is first 'created', and xpshape doesn't/can't change this. I'm going to remove the Yakubite Interns from recruitment. They were intended to be cheap blood hunters that would be promoted into full Yakubites, but this seems to be a limitation of the game, unfortunately. I'll give Yakubites a douse bonus to make up for this.

Thanks again! One finally thing if I may: Yukibite interns, when promoted, do not gain any paths in nature nor glamour. Is that intentional, or a bug? Good luck with the mod!

Yeah, I'll fix that one too. The problem was that the text for a description is contained with quotation marks, and any other quotes in between get interpreted as the end of the description, so I have to replace them with apostrophes.
