Ermor - because all their priests reanimate undead, hordes of undead.
Shinuyama - because of diverse and powerful magic and good troops
Mitclan - because of good troops and great mobility, good magic, flying communions, good summons and other things.

By the way, I think that Mictlan should break into blood, be it unthematic or not. As well as Bandar Log. Or at least one of them. To both nations blood gives simply great summons and for Mictlan - cheap blood hunters as well. This is how I would play if I were in Usurpers team, most probably.

I am sorry to hear about the personal difficulties with Chris. I wish him the best and hope to see him back on shortly.

Squirrel welcome. I assume as you said you'll be serving as acting Captain. Sign onto our team forums (if I don't already have you registered) and I'll get you squared away. The usurpers also have an alternate as well, in case you guys want to pursue another option, be it captain wise or what have you. I am moving Chris to one of the alternate slots for the Usurpers in the meantime (in the expectation that he will come back into the fray, he could also serve as advisor if necessary). Please aquaint yourself with the rest of the team, and the files on the main post, particularly the teams and themes.pdf which outlines the pretender choices and initial path limits for pretenders. Usurper pretenders may take up to level 3 in blood during design if they wish.

3 blood is more than enough. Blood-oriented strategy, however, conflicts with bless strategy or dominion scales need to be greatly sacrificed

Tonno glad to see you active and always feel free to ask questions if you have them.

Tonno and Numahr. As alternates, you guys have full access to your team forums. You may also be able to examine or view turns for your team. Feel free to provide input and ask questions of team mates so that you can learn as much as possible. You are sort of on the team's bench, so to speak. and should have priority if a playing position opens up and will usually come in to sub for other members of your team if needed.

You can also take a more active role if you desire in the interim. Alternates or advisors can handle a team's diplomacy with other teams and dealings with the merc if the they want. You may also engage in other activites relating to intelligence gathering/espionage, and other fun stuff (explained on the opening post).

Have fun.

Usurpers, I will need to hear from you (depending upon how soon your ready to start) who is playing whom, and if you have any positioning info you like to convey to me via PM, please let me have that info as well. Thanks.

Edit: Actually I think I will move Chris into the Advisor position for his team, with the option to return to the captaincy.

Squirrel, your good to go on the team forums.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. 17/17. AI Creation Phase.
 

MA Mictlan is consideredably weaker than MA Ermor or Shinuyama even without pretender restrictions. Their magic isn't that good compared to other ages (lose blood from all their mages relative to other ages without any replacement, and they don't get much cheaper despite that, if at all), and only two cap-only mages fly. No one would accuse MA Mictlan of being good without a big bless - it is a pale shadow of the other ages.

Ermor, on the other hand, while it can use a big bless for its sacreds, only really needs piles and piles of animate undead. It has legionary troops for expansion, and will field armies of thousands of longdead horsemen (which incidentally, breaks the battlefield in a number of way).

Shinuyama doesn't even have any need for a bless to be awesome. It wants virtually pure scales.

So as a alternative I will be some kind of a spectator for my team,but how will I be able to come to game if i do not play with nation...?

And one more problem,as a possible replacement for some player,I think that is a terrible idea,I play well against pc and my 4 friends (I do not have 4 friends,I have more :D:D) that played Dom3 with me...
So if I ever get in as a substitute,I will just follow orders...:p



And no offense,I think mitacal,ermor and shinuyama still sucks,good player of abysya or pangena can take them down with no problems...(my opinion)
Septimius u play with argatah-are thay like the weekest in mid age...?

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. 17/17. AI Creation Phase.
 

Hey Tonno. See my posts on our team forum.

As an alternate, if you need to come into the game, you should be able to come in just like subs do via PBEM. So if for instance Cammorak can't play for a little while, you will take over the nation. We all know things in life can get in the way, having good friends or trustworthy people ready to help out, lined up in advance makes sense. Don't worry Tonno, our team will help you all you need. And while your waiting, alternates can get involved in diplomacy or what have you if they desire. You'll learn a lot by reading the team forums particularly about planning and strategy.

I have never played with Agartha in my life. They are slow in the beginning apparently, but if played correctly, they can be great just like any nation.

Will DrP, Ano, and Squirrel/Chris attempt to spank us? Will they anger Crom? I hope they won't be that foolish. But I know they will be tempted. I say Tonno, let us teach them good, so that they learn their place. So that they avert their eyes when they come into our presence and make obeisance. :)

Yo team Usurper. There's new content on our forum, check it out. Make comments. Let me know you're alive. That sort of thing.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. 17/17. AI Creation Phase.
 

Sept's post is surprisingly telling as I will be out of town the first week in June and will not have access to the tubes. Just so everyone knows.

Re: Noobs and Vets II: Days of Infamy. MA, BI. 17/17. AI Creation Phase.
 

Perhaps, someone from your team can play for you then?
