Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

I am stunned http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif with the whole concept of 116 PD.
SOooo expensive but no upkeep and replenishes itself totally if it survives the battle.
Everygame I learn something new.
The only problem I see is that an opponent can simply avoi it.

Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

But if you hoard fetishes and have a low upkeep you could do it in all your provinces. You also don't castle and have like a mage or two in the battle front and it is devastating. It is unlimitted troops that stop raid armies which a lot of us do. The enemy will then have to dedicate itself to send out very large armies which can then be flamed from the skies, murdering winter, etc.

It is a very interesting strat that I wish we could get more data on its effectiveness. I doubt Panther wants to sacrifice troops for the sake of testing lol.

Turn up.

Oh, and the ultra high PD makes spying all but impossible... not that I would be trying to spy on Marignon or anything. I knew we shouldn't have left that global up so long...

Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

Panther is going to be very mad at me when he watches his battle reports. You should of just let me have the water provinces uncontested because sending that army is going to make it easier for ctis now.

Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

Ah, the old Panther is getting ripped on all fronts now. At one time, I thought I might win this game. It seems much less likely now. My army is probably half what it was just 3-5 turns ago.

I have never liked late game on Dominions, and now I know why, lol. For whatever reason, the game seems to get far less enjoyable as the turns become so long and tedious. Especially when out of town on vacation...

The mudslides and road closures in California are giving us problems. We had no less than three detours today trying to get into Los Angeles. And the scenic Big Sur Highway was closed!!! Talk about disappointment. But, of course, it was far better then having the car buried under mud. We never did make it into LA today.

Hey your battle with me was defending against your invading army which you could of used to try to defend against ctis.

Ctis does look very powerful right now and looks like one of the end game contenders to win. But with him being subbed in a week who knows what will happen to his empire.

It looks like Marignon's offensive power was crippled also along with maybe Vanheim, and perhaps you too Panther. I don't have the power to venture onto the land but have incredible sea defense. And we have Arco and Machaka sitting quietly.

Game is very interesting right now and can go anywhere with everyone beaten down right now. I would say it would be an easy victory for Deccan but things will probably change because the sub won't have the same plans and/or playstyle that Deccan has been using to make Ctis successful.

Just my thoughts on the game.

I hope your vacation goes more smoothly Panther.

You have not a really good lategame nation and i think you didn't run much lategame strats as well . So no wonder you don't enjoy the lategame this time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .
I recommend Pythium or Caelum to you for the next newbieslugfest . Then you can properly judge if you really don't like lategame http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif .

Maybe you should let tauren sub for you and just enjoy your holiday without thinking about dominions . Anyway have fun with the rest of your holiday http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

Huh? I don't feel powerful. You guys have all the uniques and elemental royalty. I don't even have a single artifact. I just have lots and lots of tomb wyrms, yeah, and a few Bane Lords.

Edit: And oh, I will probably turn the game over to Steerpike next turn, because I am busy at work and have a lot of Last-minute things to take care of.

Re: Power Outage -> Server Backup but IP Shifted
 

Only marignon + vanheim left .
