I may stall this turn. You can blame ATT/Bellsouth for this.

Problem bypassed. Turn sent.

I'm in way to many games... I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I had an idea planned out before hand, but been pulverized by independents... I'm not yet prepared for EA agartha, to my regret. Should have had more SP time. BTW, those horse tribe cavalry are mean when you have a measly attack skill of eight up against 16. Even trampling isn't so useful.

I suggest everyone put me out of my misery, quick, commit war against me. The only success I've had expanding is against the other humans, cause the indeps own my forces each and every time, it seems. I needed to practice much more.

How many games are you in LP?

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Five. Jaguar, Chupacabra, SmokyBat, Veturi, Outsiders.

I think I got greedy when I stuck my hand in the cookyjar.

Wow, I just (tentatively) joined my second game. I think I'll take a lesson from your experience and stop there for now.

I'm in 4, and going strong. But unless I die horribly in at least one, I may be in some trouble when I get to university.

The really foolish part about me taking five games is me working six days a week.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Maybe you should get a sub for one or two LP. I've made the same mistake in the past. It's a real pity because for me it can change dominions from being super fun to being an annoying job, which is very sad. The trouble is it's an easy mistake to make because at the start the games only take a minute or two per turn each.

Re: Chupacabra - EA game for newish players - sign
 

Well... I'm switching to AI in a turn or two in Jaguar, unless negotiations manage to pull off a stunning reversal.

I may sub out one or two, but I'm having trouble deciding which to do. Would it be a problem if I switched to AI here? It would be an outright shame, but I wouldn't really want to give this position to another player. I'll play it through if I have to - I have time enough not to stall.

Veturi is a series of very brutal battles - with me having taken Pan's capital and both lakes- I won't drop out of that. Smoky's currently in peace and reasearch. That leaves Outriders, Jaguar, and chupacabra. Outriders is actually a pretty simple, since I'm surrounded on all sides, and barely control a one-province radius from my capital, with R'lyeh and Jomon looking for war.

Well, like you say it would be a shame to AI this game. Generally I think it's good if players think before switching to AI since some seem to do it on a whim. But ultimately if you're not enjoying the game by all means go ahead (especially since I know you're the thoughtful type and you've obviously tried not to AI immediately, e.g. in Jaguar). And if you are enjoying it, carry on playing!
