That is something I wrote down in the beginning of the story so its funny you mentioned it.

I play better because the story makes me think my situation over and over again, thus improving the performance. Also find mi self submitting the .2H file multiple times every single turn. And, if writing a long and deep AAR you want to play better to be able to have even moar fun. It would be dissapointing to play poorly after contributing so much time on wirting AAR.

The answer is Y E S with double caps!!!11

On the other hand, I am very bad a player by default so "playing better" is a matter of perspective :wave:

Well, you fixed a scripting error you had with your vastness i noticed... I bet you feel its a lot more effective now

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]
 

You mean attacking with it?

The thing is, I dont have enough good experience on R'lyeh - nor on anything else on that matter.

I know, it is sad because I have been playing since 2002 (Dom2). I spend too much time on flavor texts and too little on effect-cause -relations :P

With Vastness I used several different scripts from attacking with it to Mind Blast to fire rear. It was even more complicated because few test SPs I did when the game begun, in each and every one I lost the Vastness quite early and wasnt able to figure out if the attack actually did anything at all (most likely I lost it because I used wrong scripting to begin with). It was hard here also, because enemies die like flies even if the script is wrong.

But now I am satisfied with it's performance.

Yeah, one of those things... :)

I had never seen one of those things before, the vastness. Beautiful, in its own outer space way.

When I saw the message I thought it was Abysia trying to gather intel on my battle formation, but it was you!

Yep, I'm just a witness neighbor, drinking midgardian beer and watching around in my porch, but ready to draw the shotgun sword if things gets too much Howard Phillip around :p.

Re: LA Newbie Game: Blood Sacrifices (BS!) [Started] [14/14]
 

Same with me. Though I have played Dom2 since 2003, only last year did I start MP so there's a lot of units, spells, nations, tactics,... totally unknown to me.
But watching his vastness in action for the first time through my C'tissian scout was the scariest thing Dominions delivered to me. I then thought: "THAT is the thing that should not be!" :shock: :eek: :cold:

And now, a musical pause :cool::

As for writing an AAR, I'm not doing it now but events, strategies, mistakes are clear in my head. I should write them, the game will probably last a long time (even for me I hope :D).

For those of you that are done with your current turns, I just realised the original re-animator in on Youtube- you can kill the time with it.

And those of you that havent done their turns, play them!!!11

It's not that simple.
Sometimes, one needs to wait for a diplomatic answer before planning and moving.
