Heretic! Patala is nothing but awesome. Incredibly powerful mages, sacred astral researchers, elephants, it doesn't get much better than that.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I've never delved into Ry'leh, so it looks like I've got a good bit of reading and playtesting to do in the next couple days.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

lol I didnt'want ry'leh or ermor though I'm pretty sure they are the strongest.. if you like 4h turns halfway in the game

Baseless fear mongering... I'd invite people to take a close look at the one team comprised completely of grade AA nations... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

What is the exact start date/time?
Anyone know?
It would help with my planning a little.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Which is the team composed of grade AA nations? I actually can't guess.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

Well, it's hyperbole to some degree, but most the teams are somewhat strong/weak pairs. Bogarus (strong)/Atlantis weak), Mictlan/Abysia, Marignon/Pythium, Patala/C'tis, even Ry'leh/Man (though man is pretty nice too). Ermor and Agartha though... Ermor is almost in a class by itself, and Agartha is arguably the most powerful live LE nation.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

It should be noted that Agartha will probably be played by one of the worst Dominion players of all time! Myself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I would hope to start no earlier than late this weekend. I still need time to try and come to grips with crazy LA Pythium, and come up with some kind of decent build for them.

Re: Late Era Team Game
 

I agree that R'lyeh/Man is pretty nice - but the other alternatives all struck me as worse (R'lyeh/Arco?R'lyeh/Utgard? R'lyeh/Caelum?), and R'lyeh/Midgard is just silly.

For Ermor's partner, I didn't want to give them too much non-death magic, and C'tis was taken.... it's very thematic, in any case. I'm not as impressed by LA Ermor as many people are, and while LA Agartha is one of my favorites, I've never thought they were that powerful. I'm prepared to be shown otherwise by the inestimable foodstamp, however http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I think we'll start late this weekend, if that's when people are comfortable. Monday is St. Patty's day, so I'll be wasted, but I can probably still manage to play.
