I've just set Marverni to AI - it wasn't looking like a fun position, and they are at least bordered by at least two nations, so they will still have to fight over the scraps!

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

It seems like a lot of people are running into borders quite quickly. I know I have 6 provinces currently, and border 5 other nations (hello Tien Chi, Neifel, Agartha, Ulm, and, uh, I forget the other). Marverni's position sounds enviable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

5 nations! Looks like youve got a lot of diplomacy to do. Abysia has currently 2 border nations and has already started a ferocious assault against Ermor (prophets army with 17 troopers left but still raiding provinces)!

Don't you love it when...

the turn you get a good Conjuration spell, your lab burns down?

My early spreading and research stopped nicely in to a famine in my capital (the was lots of unrest). Luckily we abysians have an extra source of income in fire gems.

Ouch. Sounds like lots of bad luck going around.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

haha. I had the "1/5 population leaves" on my capital city around turn 4 or 5. ouch!

I had my pretender die on turn 3. that wasn't luck as much as personal stupidity/overambition. big ouch.

I hoping I'm just not the first one out. I got a nice defenisible strip of land, and about to get some decent spells (finally, lost tons of research while Calling God back)

Well I guess this is what happens when you take death scales and drain scales to boost your goods power http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif.

Re: Manatee - EA newbie game (started)
 

Sounds like a bad idea.

What's *REALLY* bad is death + misfortune.
