Has R'lyeh been staleing? If so, comp-him.

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

Reminder.
No diplomacy includes no in-game messages.

I really enjoy this game as my turns take half the time as in other games since I don't have to invest so much time in diplomacy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Never read Oath of the Empire. is it good?

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

I was about to AIofy R'lyeh, but I think he actually took a turn or two over the weekend.
Did I misread things? If so, I'll stick him on AI right now...

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

No in-game messages, or no in-game *diplomatic* messages?

Surely, threats, gloating and unfocused ranting are okay?

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

My feeling is that threats, gloating, and unfocused ranting are okay as long as they don't actually provide any information about the game.
"I will destroy you all!" is probably fine, as is "Mineral planets are the best!"
"Wow, Mictlan just took a pounding" is no good, though, as would be any sort of conditional threat.
Since there's such a fuzzy line, it might be best to refrain from messages altogether. We can gloat or moan here when we're divine or dead.
Dogs be free!

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

Sorry, I was just complaining.
so...
"I will destroy you all!"
will be better...

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

I just want to say I admire how Vanheim fends off it's enemies.
Great play!

Probably Vans are too good to be true.

70 gold is not that high since a Van have a decent defence and glamour helps there too.
They are fast and what they have lacking is damage what I resolve with a fire 9 blessing when the circle is complete making an all around unit.
Einheres are good too to make a bulk. Commanders are lacking because to get a priest level 2 is to expensive and so to use them as mages.

Dwarves are OK. I like them.

The moloch is superb as artillery and he comes with free imps who help a lot.

Re: Yet Another Dominions Game - starting again
 

My first multiplayer game was with Vanheim, and I was amazed at how powerful they were.
I had a Moloch with fire9 and water9 - those Vans were amazing... A handful could clean out any PD you wanted cleaned.
