Another thing, while I'm the first to publicly voice my concern about the growing power curve of Marignon. Others have also done so privately in the past. So, this isn't one man concern ;).

And that was the day we all learned a valuable lesson about the importance of province defense!

Not that that alone would have been likely to save them; the entire game up to now has been leading up to this, and a few specific actions in the last 3-4 turns sealed it. I have a list of contingency plans three feet long, a lot of which probably won't ever get employed at this point. Too bad...I was really looking forward to one of them! It would have been glorious and thematic, but it's 3-4 turns out and would be a waste of resources at this point.

Hey Soyweiser, I have a fun idea. Let's have a race! We'll see which happens first: you finish taking Caelum's capital which you've been camping outside of for like a year, or I crush the entire nation of Abysia. Ready...go!

Hello All

This is my first and certainly my last e-mail in this game. I currently have some big guys from cold in my capital and I guess they're not here just for the hot tea ...

I try to contruct another fort in another province, but guess what, some independant barbarians invade it just one turn before it finish .... :doh:

It looks like you've got several fights going on here! If things don't go well please try to hang in there until the end (or almost the end) instead of going AI. You'll put up a better last stand than the AI and this really does help make for a better game. Plus, the worse things get, the quicker your turns will be so it shouldn't even take much time. ;)

Re: Boot Camp - Newbie intro to Dominions MP - Running
 

I confirm that my last turn was very quick but be sure that I'll play until the end.! Just the time to recruit some militias and I'll kick the big *** of the big giants :D

Without mammoths? (Who should live free, and not in slavery. Free the animals!). I doubt that. Those things really kicked my oversized hiney. I don't like those. I do like militia. Free exp ;).

And I kinda misjudged your fort. Never really paid attention to the defense stat. 700 is quite a lot :) I gather you still have around 250 left right? (Yeah, that is the bad thing about using small elite forces, even when the forces are giants, they don't have enough punch to open up the gates all that quick. And while I have boulder throwers, they only count as 1 giant extra in each siege. I was doubting it was worth the cost of getting the, horrible in combat, expensive, slow, boulder throwers.)

And sorry about the whole attacking you. But I was kinda hemmed in up there, and you where my weakest neighbour. (Who still put up quite a fight).

I just check the defense, it left only 632. So just a few years and it should be good ...

Re: Boot Camp - Newbie intro to Dominions MP - Running
 

Seriously? I doubt there are more than 2 people left inside. And the last few turns my troops should have taken of around 100 def each turn.

Re: Boot Camp - Newbie intro to Dominions MP - Running
 

Dratz... could anybody confirm to me that this game is running diversity_1_1 (version 1.04)? (That is what it says in my mod list)

Somehow I only seem to have diversity_1_1 (version 1.01).

So I'm wondering if this game is using version 1.04 of the EDM, or 1.1 of the EDM (which is the most recent, and I think the versioning ingame is a bit bugged and gives an additional 0. (so version 1.1 becomes 1.01 (as my CBM is listed as 1.06)).

Re: Boot Camp - Newbie intro to Dominions MP - Running
 

Those two versions are probably the same thing. IIRC, when EDM 1.1 was first released it still said 1.04. I'm guessing that was the version that was uploaded to the llamaserver, though the one posted in the EDM thread (and that you have) was later corrected. Other than that correction they are the same file (and the mod filename is the same: diversity_1_1.dm).
