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

The magicks required to forge a Crystal Coin should be known to me before the month is out. The question is...why should I be so willing to give it to the one who has so cruelly attempted to incite the other nations of the world against me, when I had never done any harm to you (a few months before exploding through Pythium and nearly matching my size, no less)? Especially given the fact that I would most likely need to see to its construction personally when there is so much to be done.

Perhaps a Moonvine Bracelet together with Boots of Youth would be a suitable offering to convince me to look past such matters. Or, if blood magic is beyond you, an additional 10-gem surcharge (payable in any combination of nature and death gems) would be acceptable in the boots' stead.

If an agreement can be reached, I should be able to see to it that the coin is in your possession by early autumn.

Sorry about the horrible late reaction.

But apparantly my assumptions about the paths I had where vastly mistaken. I currently don't have the capabilities to make a moonvine bracelet.

Does the misfortune scale also give worse random magic picks? It almost looks like it :). In all my test games I always had at least one of the picks I wanted before end of the first year. This game none... And when I finally get a gygja with +1 magic it is a n2b2d2 one.

No problem. I'll make a note of it but please try to remind me as well next week.

I don't think it does but sometimes it can seem like the random number generator is broken when you are waiting for a particular random path to appear. :)


Also, I notice C'tis and Abysia both staled this past turn so I'll keep an eye on things. Seems like they may both be at war but still have some strength left?

Ahhhh, spreaking of that...I am out of town from the 16th (Thursday) until Monday the 20th.

I have 2 provinces left and no army...If not destroyed by then I will set myself to AI so as to not upset the flow of the game.

So PLEASE end it quickly....

Thanks to all for a fun and amusing game and I look forward to seeing you guys agian!!:)

Thanks for playing arnob and nice job playing it through to the end.

Ragnars Wolves, also nice job continuing to fight. It appears things went downhill after your good start?

It seems to me this game is moving at a quick pace in the sense that early wars are being fought and nations eliminated. That certainly makes for an action-packed game.

Ragnar seemed to have a lot of Gladiators in his army so after a few fights he ran out of steam.

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

That isn't exactly true....

I got into a fight with one nation and 2 others broke naps and joined in on me. However, they BOTH waited the specified time and acted Honorably so I have no problem with either (good job, I should have seen it coming). But I realized I had NO chance so I decided to try a few things.

Gladiators...I didn't use them in my army excep as arrow catchers in front should i fight (since they would die anyway why not use cheap fodder).

I may be giving away a secret (or maybe it isn't a secret) but I was reading a post about Pangea and Maenads. It was describing how those little buggers inside a fort could repair the fort and make the siege last forever.

I decided to try that with Gladiators, as long as they are NOT set on patrol they will NOT join the fight for the castle until the walls are broken (that is my understanding). It seemed to work ok.:p

BTW, thank you Valerius for setting this up and helping us get our feet wet. You did a GREAT job as admin and I think we all thank you for it!!!

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

Has anyone heard from C'tis lately? They apparently staled last turn, and it's looking like there's a decent possibility that they'll stale again overnight. I'm not really sure what the standard policy is on this sort of thing. Should we delay hosting until we can find out what's happening?
