Herr Heimlich,I'll give you a hint. Read Baal'z Hellheim guide. You will know how you can have fast and early research.

Re: Lunar Sea - a second bout of modness. Closed - map selection underway.
 

Well, for Arcoscephale, the research comes from philosophers. They are research 8 in a sloth 3 dominion, and cost 50 gold each. The expansion rate comes from mercenaries and a dragon.

Anyone who started with an awake research pretender could easily have 150 research by turn 8.

And yeah some of you are going a bit slow. You should really have a minimum of one province a turn expansion by the end of the first year.

Research pretender, yes. I often do that. It's no big deal, the advantage tends to fade out in favor of those players who have more provinces/castles/gold.

As for expansion, it took me quite some games to learn to have the acceptable rate I have here. Did you read the guide about Tir na n'Og and do some quick tests in SP?

If you're looking at Vanheim's expansion speed, stop looking at it right now. It's in no way comparable to everyone else due to the 3 stales by the original player and the fact that I had to build an expansion army myself from scratch since the other one was wiped out due to an unfortunate accident with freaky indie mobs and lavamen! :p

Re: Lunar Sea - a second bout of modness. Closed - map selection underway.
 

I did the latter but could only find a guide about Eriu. So, not much to be found there...

It looks like wars have started. Bloody Lanka is eating demons of Yomi, but who has attacked Arco, with it's awake Dragon and perfect lands?

Re: Lunar Sea - a second bout of modness. Closed - map selection underway.
 

I know everything, I can sell info for cheap :)

Re: Lunar Sea - a second bout of modness. Closed - map selection underway.
 

That must be the one I used for my TNN game, maybe that's why I did so bad. It covers the use of sidhe lords though.

Anything interesting happening? IT looks like Pan killed Marv, Lanka killed Yomi. Who is killing TC?
