I really want a pause for this weekend as well. I'm going away for my brothers funeral and there will be no chance at all that I can play from 07.00 CET saturday to approx 17.00 CET sunday.

I don't have any Dominions friends (yet) and I really would like to play these first turns myself but if the game is not paused I need a honest sub that could fill in for me.

I think I did my first turn correctly, let me know if I screwed up (R'Lyeh).

Wow, there ain't much water... there goes my "hide in the water until game ends" strategy.

Gonna be totally drunk and dressed like a german woman saturday night (No I am not kidding), so a pause would be cool with me as well because my play time will probably be limited to sunday evening. If we can't get a pause, that is fine as well http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re:
 

A death in the family is an completely valid reason to pause. I will turn off the timer for the period you requested. People will still be able to play thier turns but the server will not auto-host.

My condolences, Saarud http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I am really greatful for that. Really. Thank you Ironhawk.

Condolences and safe trip.

Re:
 

Take care Saarud.

I'll be doing something along those lines aswell on saturday night. The pause will keep me from having to play a really stupid, drunk turn. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Alas, the great Ermorian capital city of Eldregate is beset on all sides by powerful independent forces of heavy cavalry. This has stalled expansion as even the mighty and disciplined legion of the sons of Aurelios would be better served by going into battle comfortably outnumbering these well armored beasts. In time, however, they will fall, and their sons will one day serve under the same banner which vanquished them.

Re:
 

The key to defeating heavy cavalry is negating thier devastating one-time Lance attack. Normally this is done with chaff troops. Once the lance is out of the way, they are just very good heavy inf.

Re:
 

The other way to defeat heavy cavalry is really big, hard hitting weapons (massed barbarian mauls are nice) or crossbows.
