I think the main reason is just that I took Prod-3 and Skaven took Sloth-2.

Re: Scruntlefut2 - 2v2v2v2 team game - Running
 

Sloth is perfectly fine for skaven, though prod has its own advantages. Skaven are just generally a very difficult race, and having a horribly gimped teammate doesn't really help when fighting an early game powerhouse like the dwarfs.

They aren't, they're just beating your team up. Haven't done a thing to the other two teams.

I also don't think you're really in a position to judge, since literally any nation would have beaten you down, simply based on your expansion. Even MA Oceania could have walked amphibious troops over and left you on 0 provinces. You just need to have faster expansion than you did, in MP games.

Yeah, I'm frankly terrified of your team Sombre.

In related news, what on earth was going on with that Marble Oracle in the Arena battle? More specifically, how did it have 322 hitpoints, when its base is 85? Just his dom shouldn't get anywhere near that, right?

He did get gift of health up. Didn't realize that spell was so powerful.

Re: Scruntlefut2 - 2v2v2v2 team game - Running
 

oh now that's just diabolical. Ench-5 gives you both Marble Oracles and Gift of Health? That and Const-4 are all you really need for endgame as Agartha, apparently.

Yeah, I'm doing fine in my other game- just only played this race once before in SP. And I lost my first 2x armies to independents.

Sorry for the delays, I've been delirious with a high fever the past 40 hours or so. Got my wife to postpone hosting. I should be fine to take a turn today.

Re: Scruntlefut2 - 2v2v2v2 team game - Running
 

I see Skaven have gone AI.

Will they ever survive past early game? They're 0 for 5 currently.

Re: Scruntlefut2 - 2v2v2v2 team game - Running
 

They did reasonably well in Dramatica. Top 3 nation until Baalz just won the game with insane bloodsaccing.

But, IMHO, they could a small boost to beef up their early game a bit. Having a poor early game is a bit of a "Mark of Doom" in MP game. See Maverni for a example what happens to a nation when it is widely know that it has poor early game.
