It'd be cool if the last person to submit their turn could then send in the next one as well. This helps keep the game moving at a reasonable pace, especially when turns only take 2 min.

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

Agreed.

Frozen Llama: Have you been getting my PMs? I'm not sure if they're sending properly.

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

lol.

I'm such a noob, i wasn't even sure how i was going to phrase this..... its nothing personal, i just wanted to try being a rusher in a game once.

Giants aren't known for their literary skills. (ever tried holding a pencil with giant hands?) but anyway, we are sending back the head of your messanger for being a puny human.

or if you want giant-speak:

wAAAAAAAAg!!!!! big giants eat puny man-sheep.

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

Well I'm not sure there's a lot I can do against your n9/e9 giants. I shall fight to the bitter end however!

Also, anyone who wants to attack Utgard while they're distracted with me will be amply rewarded if I survive!

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

Woodsmen, eh? That's a tricky one to take down early game. I could give you some advice, if you give me more details on your research and mages. :p

I'd go with Armor of Achillies/Destruction+Masses of Composite Bows/Horsemen (for charge), with Lightning Bolts, Mind Burns, Sleep, Sailor's Death, False Fetters, Shadow Bolts, Mossbody, etc. It really depends on what you can do with magic.

You can also go with Pikes and Terror Spam. If you're up against Giants, pikes are the quintessential chaff/frontline, thanks to repel.

oh thats cold Tolkien. lol :)

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

Against everything but n9 bless, 8gold pikeneers might demolish giants who don't have it but berserk makes them destroy pikeneers at a near perfect ratio ;)

Re: Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!
 

Ah, forgot about the berserk...PIkemen still work wonders against non-berserking giants.

In which case, stick with the Composite Bows and Horsemen/Ancestor Vessels for the Woodsmen: the goal here is basically to deal as much damage as possible, and them zerking certainly doesn't help their defense value.

Also FL: It's not cold, it's heat. :p

Not in TC right now! my prophet is making it VERY cold there.

wAAAAAAAAAAg!!!
