Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

Haha wow neither had I. Had about 18 holy 3 priests preaching and a blood sac in a temple in each of my provinces from another holy 3. Pretender and prophet were both alive and well. I only had one province with about 5 candles in it the last few turns. I was starting to turn the dominion tide, then got the negative dominion event in that key province :(

Good work Quitti, I will never underestimate the importance of base dominions again.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

gg Alpine Joe.Wow,bad dominion event there,thats sick.

me too.Seems that my priests still only preach with the base dom as the chance for success.
I got like 80 priests,all with inquisitor bonus, preaching on average and probably nearly equal number of temples like midgard(30+).Still not enough to keep the borders up dominion-wise these days and my base dom is pretty decent actually.
Its probably the massive blood sacs combined with base dom 10.
I would pay huge sums just to make my priests to be able to blood sac in this game...

Pretty sick strat there...strangeness indeed!
Midgard seems to fit very well for this in lots of ways.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

btw,did you patrol your home province Alpine Joe?

I guess,he might have had lots of stealthy preachers there,too.
That would explain his pretty low research from like 20 turns ago until now .
Glamoured stealthy preachers and blood sacrificers in huge numbers ,all in there own dominion,invisible for everyone else...

*off to further improve my border patrols*

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

No problem! To quote a meme, "I accidentally the whole Marignon, is this serious?".

To be honest, it was hard work, but bit too easy. I see it was due the bad event then few turns ago. I never set foot on marigs lands though with any other than normal scouts to honor our NAP. I doubt you could catch them though, they are stealthy +35 with glamour or so ;) (and I got better use for earth+astral than stone idols)

Having said this, I claim whatever is left of Marignons lands. I fought a shadow war for them for quite a while. Please do not interfere. And I don't mind the delay if you need one, got somewhat busy weekend probably coming myself too.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

I will change the hosting intervall to 72 hours then for this turn.
Switching back next turn,but since it always takes another turn to take in effect,we got 2 turns now with 72 h hosting.
So that means also more time on the weekend;)

I might get my turn in already on Friday though.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

I still dont get get how the dom death is handled exactly now.
I always thought,that all troops just disappear in that case.
But i have intel about all Marignon lands now being defended by former Marignon troops.But to me,it looks,that not all former Marignon troops are Indy now...some disappeared.
Also,on Llamaserver,it says that there are only 2 indie provinces atm.:confused:

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

That's because they're Midgårds lands now! ;)

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

The council of the Dragon Blooded has been held.
This event normally occurs only once every 1000 years.
Several anouncements will be made public soon.

Tabos
Speaker of the Leech
Drinker of Dragon Blood

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

Announcement No 1:

Despite a growing number of dragon blooded fearing the fast spreading false religion of midgard will cause Ulm to disappear,
Ulm will keep on honoring the NAP with Midgard as of now,due to excellent past history with Frigg.
Our research is suffering for a long time though and a lot of gold is going into a lot otherwise useless things just to repel the constant religous waves.
The constant blood sacrficing at our borders and the excessive number of Temples will be seen as act of minor aggression vs us though from now on.
Appropriate counter measures might be taken here in the future.
The civil war in Marignon has teached Ulm a lesson.
We wont just sit and wait still until our faith is surpressed.

This is a warning.

Re: LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)
 

Announcement No 2:

The civil war in Marignon.
Lama(178) and Neotha(176) are under the protection of Ulm from now on.

1.
The daughter of the son of the daughter of Tabos,speaker of the Leech,is married with Goltra,the son of the duke of Lama.
We have send a demigod therefore to claim that province for him.

2.
The Duke of Neotha,a former ally of Ulm, has asked us for help to put down the civil war.
We have answered and send a demigod to help him.

Further letters asking for support have reached us.
Many Dukes are fearing the false religion and prefer to ally with Ulm instead.
Ulm might take more actions here in the future,even though not necessarily.
