Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
 

You lose the game if you have no dominion left. If you lost all your provinces and forts, then you are being killed and all the dominion that you had in provinces (black candles in the provinces for your enemies) vanish on the next turn, after the message that your god's reign is over. It might be, but very unlikely, that having something like a stealthy pretender which generates Dominion right after the Dominion was removed might survive that he lost everything. But it probably was something else like still having a fort under siege somewhere, which means that you'll have zero provinces under your control, but you're not dead yet.

That battle is forever burned into my memory.

Your golem was the first real SC I'd ever encountered. :)

Agreed! I make it a point to get into as many wars as possible as soon as possible. Much more satisfying to stomp foes as the pile-ee than as a pile-er!

DC, I never asked: how did the Storming of Eriu go in Kingmaker? I remember taking great cares to script as many fireworks as possible in celebration of the Giants' arrival...:D

You are right.
Serves me right for not keeping my tactics list up to date.

Thanks again Johan. :)

I just did a test game and Im not even sure how the game ended. I had hidden preachers all over the place with many of my candles showing, still had my god and my castle. But the game suddenly declared a winner. Seems like it might be over-corrected but I will need to try it more times first.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
 

That wasn't what you described, though. It was the "scales bug", which was encountered when a province had too many neighbor connections, IIRC.

He says he did fix it. He did make a comment at the time of the game about "the never ending game". My large "mercenary" army available to other players was not right in his view.

Too bad. In that game I had arranged with an ally to get a corner province and make a return. But I do see the point about a never ending game. Especially with so many stealth units in the game now.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
 

When I'm not dead yet, I like to find an unguarded province and move my pretender there. Then he whips out a copy of Dominions3 and starts playing to escape from the brutal reality of it all *sniffle*. Then his pretend pretender does the same thing (only at a speeded-up time rate, 1 month : 10 minutes) until the universe throws a stack exception.

:lol: that is one of the more creative ones.
CORE IT! CORE THEM ALL!
