Re: Stinky Slimy Things
 

You somehow imply that we are not striving for godhood in the real world. What a crazy world-view you have.

Re: Stinky Slimy Things
 

in the real world godhood is the strife, not the goal.

Re: Stinky Slimy Things
 

We definitely live in different worlds. Godhood is my goal. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

This entire time I thought Pan was the greatest threat. I don't think he's in the top 2 right now. Of course that could change if he steams through TC but there are scarier forces out there for sure!

The fields of Tien Chin have been a bit less productive the last few harvests. The Minister of Agriculture has ordered a large supply of fertilizer from Pangea and looks like it will arrive shortly.

Utgard is in position to make a call. (At work so guessing some numbers...)

Hmmmm.... 1000+ bonefiends and a bunch of arch devils in my northern domain. ~1000+ archer ponies with tartarian artillery + a "who's who" list of SCs (dressed to party) in the southern. Hmmm. I guess time will tell.

I must say these late game battles are a true learning experince for me. I would certainly do many things differently if I could go back a few turns... or even back to turn 1... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Stinky Slimy Things
 

err.... i suppose everyone knows, but to clear up any misunderstanding, 'Pan' and all his tasteless activities are only a simulacrum for another nation once in this game. Pan, to my knowledge, hasn't done anything implied in the above conversation.

the particular nation that did was 'feeding' or 'pushing' another player to give them a fabricated advantage, thus upsetting the natural flow of the game:

from the "Cheating Online" guide:
"feeding/pushing - ...In peer-to-peer games/competition games, you can also “feed” a friend by making characters that will be there to just LOSE, thereby giving massive exp, gold, etc to the cheating team or character. Pathetic!"

I get the feeling this happens in Dom3, given high chances that we will both make allies and lose. Maybe we don't _make_ the nation to lose, but it happens, and when it does some give away all their stuff. If your not going to play out to the bitter end, then you at least shouldn't give away stuff to another nation. I think such is questionable behavior at best, and should generally be considered cheating or at least disruptive in Dom3.

Omnirizon:

If you are killed it is natural thing that you give your remaining gems, items etc to your ally. Why would you let them just disappear? They can be used to harass the one that killed you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

But what is going on anyway?

Re: Stinky Slimy Things
 

why would you give them away when your hoping to become god?

and the whole action introduces possibility for metagaming.

"I give all my stuff away to this guy in a game, now this guy likes me and we get along and can watch each other's backs in another. I don't like this guy, so I give away stuff to make sure he has a harder time in game."

I mean it is just a game, and not all that important. But it seems we should behave in ways that are going to keep the games as balanced as possible.

I think I'll start a poll and see what others think. It's kind of interestng.
