Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
I figured I would finally work on an AAR as I once hinted I would do quite a while ago http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. I took a little break from Dominions 2 for a couple months during the summer, but am back playing a lot and figure I will try to write one before I possibly get wrapped up into WoW when it comes out.
I just upgraded to Version 2.14 of Dominions from 2.11 so this will have some impact and some things I will have to adjust to. I also have enabled some mods for the first time and am going to use Zens 1.72 Version of the Pretender mod and his 1.4 conceptual spells mod. I also enabled Unwises flag mod from Illwinters site and copied in some new skins. Hopefully I will run into some interesting pretenders and see how this may impact how the game plays out. For background, I have only played single-player so far so it may show in how I play the game. I am fairly skilled and have won before against Impossible Ais and beat Easy Ermor as part of a game, so I am at least somewhat competent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. NATION/PRETENDER: I will be trying Jotunheim:Niefelheim for this AAR and it will be the second time I have tried them. I have been successful with Man and Arcoscephale in the past and once before with Niefelheim and would like to try them again. For pretender I will be trying a Son of Niefel with 4 Air, 5 Water, 3 Order, 3 Cold, 2 Growth and 6 dominion. I will use the standard 80 pt castle with 40 admin. I have yet to try Air with Jotunheim and have used Earth a lot with Water, but I want to see how effective the Alteration buffs in air are on a pretender as a SC. I normally take Production and Luck to get Angerboda, but want to see how Growth works out and see if it can help with income later on in the game. I have yet to try Growth as a scale in my games in the past. I set my pretender name to Vaklidun, a name which I used back in my DAoC days in Midgard, and he is ready to go. All praise Vaklidun, God of Order, King of Rivers, Prince of Illusion and Masquerade. MAP/SETUP: For map I am going to try Zens Cradle Map v1.4. I have completed a game to the end on Parganos once and really enjoyed it and tried to get a couple games going on the original Cradle map, but didnt continue for various reasons once being due to some weird path/retreat pathing between provinces. I am hoping Zens new Version I will have better luck with. For the game I have enabled 12 total nations with myself and 11 Impossible AI s. It is recommended to use 8-10 nations, but with using 2 water nations there should be plenty of provinces to go around with 220+ total. I will use Abysia, Atlantis, Pythium, Ctis, Arcoscephale, Caelum, Marignon, Vanheim, Rlyeh, Mictlan, and Tien Chi. I will avoid Ermor for this game due to the ability of the AI to play them so well. It is a fun challenge, but I just played against them in my Last game and it was mostly just me and Ermor in the end game along with Ulm. I would rather combat some other nations in this game. I will also be trying to complete a game with underwater nations for the first time, and hopefully I will follow through this time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. The rest of the settings will be: Starting Provinces: 1 Indep. Str.: 7 (seems to be the best to use for a good game against the AI) Special site freq: 50 Normal richness Common Events Enabled graphs (should show some interesting info later in the game) Hall of Fame to 15 Standard research Standard victory (in case I want to play to the Last province) Renaming allowed GENERAL STRATEGY: I intend to use armies of a couple Niefel Jarls with quickness and breath of winter along with a few Niefel Giants and small Groups of Jotuns. Eventually I will outfit the Jarls with equipment and hope they can take on anything that comes along. Later on I hope to get some blood economy going and summon some ice and maybe arch devils, wraith lords, and later complement my armies with some arch angels and assistance with Ghost Riders late game. I will try to look for other rituals I have not tried in the past to see how they work also during the game and try to add some summons that have been helped in the latest spell mod. |

TURN 1:
Hugin is my starting Jotun Herse Starkader is my Jotun Scout Vaklidun is set to research Alteration with his 11 RPs I plan to get Alteration 2 and maybe 3 for Quickness, Mirror Image, and Mistform, then go for Const 4 for making some clams, wraith swords, and other items. I start in the NE corner of the map, which will help me in defense later in the game. I will scout W and S and determine which way I want my 1st main army to go first and send my 2nd army later in the other direction. I recruit a Jotun Scout to send S and save the rest of my gold for recruiting a Niefel Jarl next turn. Mercs: Mercs available are Victors Villains with 10 men for 30 gold. Mercs are fun to use, but I will have my hands full just trying to get enough gold to form my first armies and get some research going so will only grab some mercs if someone like Orion comes along. I normally like to form my own armies and avoid mercs for the most part anyway plus I tend to forget them a lot and dont re-hire when necessary. Provinces: J (207) Yldemir Capitol I (208) Farsen Forest - Forest I (218) East Farsen Forest - Forest I (202) High Yldemir - Forest I (195) Oeversee Forest It looks like all surrounding provinces are forests, which should give me some decent resources for my capitol to draw from and some good sites with hopefully good nature gem income. I hope to have enough to forge rings of regeneration to prevent my giants from getting afflictions too easily and later plenty of bags of wine to keep my giants happy. I send Starkader to (218) to check one of the nearest provinces. He will then continue on to the West and hang out around the nearest chokepoint to watch for enemy movements. My new scout I am recruiting will head South and monitor activity there. I set the tax rate to 130 for a bit of extra gold and set Hugin to patrol with his 8 axemen. Thinking ahead, I do some comparison between the Jotun Spearman and the Huskarl w/spear. I normally recruit only Spearmen, but will consider using the Huskarl and its lesser resource cost if I am in need of more units in a hurry plus the improved morale wont hurt. I have taken screenshots of my starting map position and the pretender list to see what pretenders I am up against and to notice the nation flags. I will attach those here if I can get it to work properly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Hopefully these files aren't too big. I may have to try to get Gimp going to try to reduce the file size. |

It looks like I can only attach one file per message, so put the pretender list there and will attach the map file to this post.
TURN 2: I will try to set a common order of events to make it a bit easier to read and follow this AAR. I will try to adhere to this order: Turn starting statistics, Messages, Battle results and comments, Merc report, Province report (after tax/unrest is adjusted for the turn), Recruiting, Troop movements, Forging, and Research. Provinces: 1 Treasury: 598 Income: 208 Upkeep: 21 RP Total: 11 Forts: 1 Temples: 1 Max Dom: 6 Converted Prov: 3 Research Conjuration: Alteration: (+11) Evocation: Construction: Enchantment: Thaumaturgy: Blood Magic: Gem Income Fire: Air: Water: 6 (+3) Earth: Astral: Death: 4 (+2) Nature: Blood: ~ Patrolling troops in Yldemir have killed 6 filthy brigands and trouble makers. ~ Caelum has appointed a Storm General named Vidhisravah as its prophet. Vanheim has recruited Victors Villains Ferdinandos Footmen are now available, 30 men for 160 gold. For province reports I have printed out quite a few extra spreadsheets to track dominion, defender counts, income, resources, population, tax and unrest per turn. I will use these to try to track certain trends and to hopefully draw some interesting information during the game. In the past, I normally use two standard spreadsheets to write turn info on while playing the game to track information and may try to attach them later if people think they may be helpful. One has 25 turns on a page and tracks per turn # of provinces, treasury, income, upkeep, RP, total forts, total temples, max dominion, converted prov, research levels, gems and gem income. Provinces: Owner Dominion (#) Name Terrain Defenders or Province Info Tax/Unr (Pop, Inc, Res, Sup) Note: I am only going to track Province info ( ) every 5 turns or so. I will put the defenders of a province in ( ) when a scout is present in the province to see if this helps at all. J=Jotunheim, I=Indep. J 2 (207) Yldemir Capitol 100/0 (29560, 208, 80, 409) I 1 (208) Farsen Forest Forest 70 Militias/Archers/Light Infantries I 0 (218) East Farsen Forest Forest (50) Woodsmen/Woodsman Blowpipes I 0 (202) High Yldemir Forest 40 Barbarians I 1 (195) Oeversee Forest 70 Barbarians I set taxes back to 100 for Yldemir as I have had bad fortune in the past when I try to tax high for more than one turn unrest goes up, income goes down, and I lose valuable resources. I recruit a Niefel Jarl for 500 gold and 60 resources and have 98 gold left. I normally make this Jarl my prophet, but since he is normally in melee, he doesnt get a chance to fully utilize the 4 Holy. This time I am going to recruit a Jotun Gode next turn to be my prophet and let him sit in the back in battle and cast Divine Blessing and Fanatacism to keep my troops in battle. I think this will work out better overall and also allow the Niefel Jarl to not lose so many hit points fighting in enemy dominion later on. I send Starkader the scout to (208) and my new scout Tunne to (202). It appears that (208) has 1 Death already as a scale so perhaps there is a death site there. Starkader will continue on West each turn and Tunne to the South. I figure whatever direction has the nearest enemy I will send my first army toward to try to secure as many provinces early as possible. I will my send my 2nd army in the other direction. Another thing I am realizing is my position is nice and far from the water, so I wont be harassed early by Rlyeh or Atlantis http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Vaklidun will continue researching Alteration with his 11 RPs. |
Re: Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
I will try to update at least a turn a day, but I only have a couple hours after work to play each day and I am realizing this takes a while http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. I will see what I can do, though.

Re: Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
TURN 3:
NOTE: RP Total and research additions listed at beginning of turn summary is the status of both when the turn ends. Provinces: 1 Treasury: 268 Income: 219 Upkeep: 38 RP Total: 31 Forts: 1 Temples: 1 Max Dom: 6 Converted Prov: 5 Research Conjuration: Alteration: 1(+31) Evocation: Construction: Enchantment: Thaumaturgy: Blood Magic: Gem Income Fire: Air: Water: 9 (+3) Earth: Astral: Death: 6 (+2) Nature: Blood: ~ Alteration 1 completed. ~ Pythium has made the Patriarch named Bartholomeus its prophet ~ Ctis has made the Lizard King named Ishkur its prophet ~ Angerboda the Great Hag appeared at the gates of your Castle !!! Holy cow! I didnt even take luck and got her already. My Last game under Luck 1 it wasnt until probably turn 25 or so before she showed up as my first hero. She is a 3S, 3D, 2N, 3B mage with 13 research. This is a great surprise and satisfies many uses that I will want eventually including a 3S mage! Ferdinandos Footmen were recruited by Marignon. The Elephant Corps are now available, Hannibal commands 5 men for 80 gold NOTE: In the Province reports the Pop, Inc, Res, and Supplies will only update every 5 turns or so. I will also add a , and new defender numbers after the previous if there are new reports. J=Jotunheim, I=Indep. J 3 (207) Yldemir Capitol 100/0 (29560, 208, 80, 409) I 1 (208) Farsen Forest Forest 70, (50) Militias/Archers/Light Infantries I 1 (218) East Farsen Forest Forest (50), 40 Woodsmen/Woodsman Blowpipes I 1 (202) High Yldemir Forest 40, (40) Barbarians I 2 (195) Oeversee Forest 70, 40 Barbarians I 0 (212) West Farsen Forest Forest I 0 (183) North Horslund Forest Forest Surprise! More forests, heheh. At least they arent swamps http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Gotvid is my new Niefel Jarl. He is a 3W, 2D, 3H fighting machine. This turn I recruit a Jotun Gode for 200 gold and save the remaining 68 gold. It will be a couple turns before I move out so I may as well save on a little upkeep and hold the gold to recruit the rest of my first army. I send Starkader the scout on to (212) and Tunne to (195) Vaklidun, Gotvid, and Angerboda are set to research giving me 31 total RP in Alteration. At this rate I may hit Alt 3 sooner than I expected. |

Re: Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
TURN 4:
Provinces: 1 Treasury: 243 Income: 222 Upkeep: 44 RP Total: 31 Forts: 1 Temples: 1 Max Dom: 6 Converted Prov: 7 Research Conjuration: Alteration: 1(+31) Evocation: Construction: Enchantment: Thaumaturgy: Blood Magic: Gem Income Fire: Air: Water: 12 (+3) Earth: Astral: Death: 8 (+2) Nature: Blood: ~ Vanheim has made the Vanjarl named Hogne its prophet The Elephant Corps was recruited by Marignon. Obscuro the Hidden master is now available for 50 gold. I like to take mercs for paths I dont normally have, but my pretender now has air this game so I will pass on Obscuro this time. J=Jotunheim, I=Indep. J 6 (207) Yldemir Capitol 100/0 (29560, 208, 80, 409) 25 Def I 1 (208) Farsen Forest Forest 70,(50),60 Militias/Archers/Light Infantries I 2 (218) East Farsen Forest Forest (50),40,40 Woodsmen/Woodsman Blowpipes I 1 (202) High Yldemir Forest 40,(40),60 Barbarians I 2 (195) Oeversee Forest 70,40,(40) Barbarians I 1 (212) West Farsen Forest Forest (80) Barbarians I 1 (180) Suddeir Down - Plains I 0 (183) North Horslund Forest Forest I 0 (216) Frostwater Mountain I 0 (205) Aeros River Mountain Maybe I will try to color code the provinces later on with Argitoths new color codes. I will save that for a later turn, though. It looks like a lot of barbarians are nearby. Those can hurt. I would like to recruit some mages, but 250 gold is the cheapest for Niefelheim so I will have to wait until my 1st army is formed. This turn I recruit 1 Niefel Giant and 1 Jotun Spearman. This takes all but 8 of my resources and leaves me 63 gold for next turn. Freke is my new Jotun Gode and I set him to become my prophet. I leave Starkader the scout for one more turn in (212) to get more information on the large number of barbarians there. I may have to go South in my expansion first due to this roadblock. I send Tunne the scout South to (183). |

Victors Villains were recruited by Marignon. The Elephant Corps appears to be gone I never did trust those elephants http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Obscuro the Hidden Master was recruited by Pythium. Gynter Blukrafts Sonnenkinder is now available, 30 men for 150 gold. J=Jotunheim, I=Indep. J 6 (207) Yldemir Capitol 100/0 (29750, 222, 80, 438) 25 Def I 3 (208) Farsen Forest Forest 70,(50),60,30 Militias/Archers/Light Infantries I 2 (218) East Farsen Forest Forest (50),40,40,60 Woodsmen/Woodsman Blowpipes I 1 (202) High Yldemir Forest 40,(40),60,40 Barbarians I 4 (195) Oeversee Forest 70,40,(40),30 Barbarians I 2 (212) West Farsen Forest Forest (80),(70) Barbarians I 1 (180) Suddeir Down - Plains I 0 (183) North Horslund Forest Forest (50) Militias/Light Infantries/Archers I 0 (216) Frostwater Mountain I 0 (205) Aeros River Mountain I 0 (166) Horslund Forest Forest I actually like that there are many good site provinces nearby to start this game. Hopefully it will allow me to get some good gem income going early and the income levels also seem to be decent. Also, these forest provinces seem to be a great population level (most are about 7k) for blood hunting and being so near my capital and in the corner of the map should allow my growth scale to help offset the pop decrease and keep the hunters safer. I recruit another Niefel Giant and 1 more Jotun Spearman. I send Starkader the scout on to (216) and Tunne the scout to (180). Vaklidun with his winter wolves (1 per turn while in cold province), Gotvid with the 8 Jotun Axemen, 1 Jotun Spearman, and 1 Niefel Giant and Freke my Jotun Gode prophet head to (208) to attack. This seems to be the easiest surrounding province and should have around 45-50 defenders based on the reports. Hugin the Herse will stay behind to bring more troops to the next province. I set the Axemen, Spearman, and Giant in the middle of the placement area with hold and attack nearest orders. Vaklidun is set at the rear top scripted with Quickness, Breath of Winter, Air Shield, attack closest. Gotvind will cast Quickness, Breath of Winter, attack closest and is set at the rear bottom. Freke is set to cast Divine Blessing, Fanaticism, and (cast). It is my hope that my giants will absorb any missile fire with their shields until buff spells are cast, then all will meet the charging enemy at about the same time. Angerboda will continue to research Alteration with 13 RPs. |

Battle Results: There are 28 Militia, 15 Archers, 7 Light Infantry, and 3 Commanders. It looks like my scout was right on with his report of 50 defenders. I figured that Vaklidun and Gotvid would move out to attack at the same time, but Gotvid moved a turn earlier. I guess I figured on turn 2 that Vaklidun would cast BoW and Air Shield and Gotvid would cast BoW and wait until turn 3 to attack and that its movement would be done since it casted at least one spell in round 2, even though he would have had quickness. It seemed that Gotvid attacked turn 2 in the replay. The battle still went well, however, even though Gotvid charged ahead and fought alone for a couple turns. The archers continued to target my axemen and spearman even though my two main commanders were far ahead of them as the battle went on. In the end I had no losses and Vaklidun and Gotvid escaped without any afflictions and landed in 3rd and 4th in the Hall of Fame. Gotvid got the heroic quickness skill for his reward. At the start of the battle, Vakliduns stats were 198 Hps, 14 Prot, 30 Morale, 19 MR, 4 Enc, 31 Str, 15 Att, 19 Def, and 16 Prec. Not too bad with no equipment after dominion strength is up some. I will try to get him and Gotvid to attack at the same time next battle and not get so far ahead to get surrounded so easily. Ferdinandos Footmen were recruited by Ctis Obscuro the Hidden Master is gone and seems Pythium sent him to an early death.

I send Starkader the scout on to (205) and Tunne the scout to (166). My main army will continue on to (218), another surrounding capitol province. I add Blessing to the end of Gotvids script hoping it will synch his attack up with Vaklidun. Hugin takes the newly recruited Jotun Spearman and Niefel Giant and joins the battle in (218).

Ugh, I hate that seeking arrow spell (I assume that is what hit me). How did they know where I was? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Battle Results: There are 26 Woodsmen, 18 Woodsman Blowpipes, and 1 Druid. I realize the enemy are all ranged units and I should have changed my giant units to attack right away. Also, Gotvid ends up casting Quickness and Breath of Winter in the first round, decides not to cast Blessing and attacks right away in round 2. I suppose this is because my Jotun Gode cast Divine Blessing in round 1 and Gotvid was already blessed and the heroic quickness allows him to charge off again on his own, heheh. With his 44 AP, he gets to the Woodsmen in a hurry. The blowpipes appear to be 2 AP damage with paralyzing poison and precision 0. It doesnt appear that any of my units are hit with it, though. The sole druid casts sleep a lot also to no effect. I end up routing the enemy again with no losses and no afflictions to my commanders. Gotvid ends this battle with 96 fatigue and the wraith swords will not come soon enough. I better get construction going soon. He has also taken over 1st place in the HoF.

I will try to secure as many provinces as I can before Marignon moves North. I set province defense to 5 for (218). I will try to remember to take a new map screenshot and add province numbers on the next turn I play (which is up to 10 now) to try to make it a bit easier to tell where each province is. I recruit another Niefel Giant and 1 more Jotun Spearman. I like to have a group of 3-4 Niefel Giants along with 8-12 Spearmen/Axemen for this first army I want to send off to the South. I notice that Druids are now recruitable in (218), but I will need to build a temple and lab first. They are 140 gold each and are 2N 2H mages. This is quite an investment early on and the research gain is minimal (35.7 gold/RP for the Skratti and Gygja and 35 gold/RP for the Druid). I didnt notice whether Druids were sacred or not though for the reduced upkeep. Either way, I decide to wait a bit before trying to recruit some and with seeking arrows starting to fly it may be good to recruit giant mages for my research so they can survive them. It will be a nice vine ogre factory province possibly later on in the game, though. I send Starkader the scout on to (193) and Tunne the scout to (165). Tunne will get a report on (165) and (152) and then hang out near the border of Marignon to track its movements. My main army will return back to my capitol before heading South as that is the only way to go. Angerboda will continue to research Alteration with 13 RPs. |

(179) Braegen Marches Plains I made a mistake since I started this and had Oeversee (195) listed as forest when it is in fact plains. I will fix that here and from here forward. This turn I recruit a Jotun Skratti which is 2W, 2B, and 1 random sorcery path. Hopefully I will eventually get one with 2W, 3B so that I can make a water bracelet and summon ice devils. It does appear that druids are sacred, so this appears to be my best long term research option for the time being. For now, though, I will wait to invest the 400 gold up front to get them going (cost of temple and lab). I now have a total of 4 Niefel Giants, 8 Jotun Axemen, and 5 Jotun Spearmen. I put the Jotuns in one squad (I leave 1 Spearman to guard Angerboda) and have them in the center to Hold and Attack Nearest. I put the Niefel Giants in their own squad (mainly because they are faster) and set them back a step or two with the same orders. I now script Vaklidun to cast Quickness, Breath of Winter, Mirror Image, Mistform, and Attack Closest. I change Gotvid to cast Quickness, Breath of Winter, (hold) 3 times then Attack Closest. Hopefully this will allow him to time up right with Vak to attack at the same time. I send the army to attack (202). Hugin the Herse will stay to pick up later re-inforcements and pick up forged items in the turns ahead. Vaklidun now has 6 winter wolves. I just notice that these also get a nice boost in Zens new spell mod and this should help my cause http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. I also take a moment to notice that none of my Niefel Giants are wounded, but 3 of my Jotun Axemen are now afflicted. I send Starkader on to (189) to scout some more and move Tunne to (152). Angerboda will start to research Construction with 13 RPs. Once I get Construction 4, I may use Angerboda or another Gygja to search the surrounding provinces for magic sites. I intend to use Acashic Record a lot later on, but it will be a while before I have the gem income to do that. |

There are 48 barbarians here, 26 with mauls and 22 with great swords. Both are 9 damage and the barbarians have 12 strength, so this may hurt some. Gotvid waited way too long to attack. I was hoping that while under both quickness he would pass over the 3 (hold) turns in 1 turn, but apparently no matter how quickened a commander is, they will hold a turn for each time listed, which makes sense. The barbarians were fast and got to my giants first, and without any support from Gotvid or Vaklidun, they chewed up some of my Jotuns in a hurry. As soon as Vaklidun and Gotvid got in there to help, the barbarians soon routed after. Before they ran, they did manage to kill 6 of my Jotun Axemen and the rest of my army did not rout at all. I think I could have prevented the losses, or at least reduced them, if I set my Jotuns back a bit and had Gotvid not hold so many turns. Ferdinandos Footmen were now recruited by Ctis.

I recruit 6 new Jotun Huskarls w/spears to replace the 6 axemen that just died. I decide to go for the lower resource cost Huskarl so that I can get 6 this turn. They have +1 morale, +1 defense, and 3 protection compared to the Jotun Spearman so they should be close to as effective for how I am using them. I have Vaklidun, Gotvid, and Freke search for magic sites in (202) while they wait for more support to take on the barbarians in (195) next turn. If I had 6 less Jotuns in this Last battle, things may have not been as well so I decide to wait. I send Starkader on to (170) to scout some more and have Tunne stay in (152) to see if Marignon has any activity in the area. Hopefully I will find some Independant scouts soon so that I can recruit some cheap ones to scout more and to bring and hold magic items. |

Gynter Blukrafts Sonnenkinder was now recruited by Tien Chi. Hectors Heavy Horsemen are now available, Hector Stark commands 15 men for 220 gold. Heavy Cavalry sure can be nice and can take some provinces all by themselves. I just dont want to spend the gold right now, though, and they may not work well with the chill from my giants.

(161) Bolfar Farm Lands There is a new update on population, income, etc. and I like how much growth is helping along here. This may have quite a nice income effect as the game goes on. It appears that Bolfar has a temple and fortification and is owned by Marignon along with (179) now. This is probably its capitol as I doubt that they built those already. Also, it looks like Marignon has been working over province (170) as there are only 9 heavy infantry left there. Marignon is also expanding very fast from the graphs, and has 3 more provinces than I do it appears. I tend to expand slow and try to watch my borders and like to prevent routing as much as possible. It also tends to give the AI more time to expand, and even expand faster than I, and can give a bit more of a challenge later in the game. If I get time to commit to some MP in the future, I will probably have to re-think this, but who knows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. This turn I recruit another Jotun Skratti for 250 gold. Normally I would try to recruit more Gygja right now, but since I got Angerboda so quickly she satisfies most of my Astral, Death, and Nature needs for a while. Still, I will most likely recruit another Gygja next turn to try to get another forger for Wraith Swords, Pendants of Luck, and Ring of Regeneration. This will also allow Angerboda to keep using her valuable 13 RPs researching. I send my main army on to (195) to try to eradicate the barbarians there. I move the spearmen and giants back a bit to try to slow down the first contact a little. I remove 2 of the extra (hold)s from Gotvids script and have Hugin gather up the 6 new Huskarls (with same positioning and orders as the spearmen) and join the fight. I send Starkader on to (179) to scout some Marignons territory and head back to the bottleneck to see when Marignon starts to move that way and to monitor what size army/make-up he may move in with toward me. I have Tunne stay in (152) to wait on Marignons progress in the area. At this point I normally dont send in scouts deep inlands to see what other nations are doing. Part of it is I like to be surprised at what I come up against and see how I react and part is I dont want as much management of scouts and their progress. I am not sure what else I would do with the info either at this point. In MP, I would probably have to do much more scouting as many seem to do to be successful. I have both of my mages continue to research Construction with 20 RPs. |

There are 2 barbarian chiefs, 20 barbarians with mauls, and 29 barbarians with great swords. My army timing works well and all move together except for Gotvid, which went a turn too early. I will add one more (hold) to his script for the next battle. Upon charging, though, Vaklidun gets stuck behind the spearmen and does nothing for 2 turns. I think perhaps the wolves got in his way and that caused him to veer more to the center of the battlefield. I end up routing the barbarians and taking the province, but not before I lose 2 Jotuns and have one squad of Jotuns rout and flee. I check my remaining units and notice that one of my Niefel Giants has lost one eye and has been weakened. At least he didnt get morale loss, which would be much worse I think. Upon taking province (195) I notice it has the Arena as a site which gives an extra 15 gold income per turn. Hectors Heavy Horsemen were recruited by Marignon.

Re: Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
Hmm... I tried to use Tab and spaces to try to help format the reports a bit, but they don't seem to have any effect.
Does anyone know of a way to get columns of data to line up in a post? Perhaps I can just try to add some of these characters to help ____. I also tried to add some color codes, but couldn't get them to work either. Could someone point out what the exact syntax would be to try some custom colors? |
Re: Jotunheim: Niefelheim AAR
Use code, /code to be able to format things in rows. For colors I believe you just use the normal color:red, /color tags.

This turn I recruit another Gygja for 250 gold and 3 Jotun Spearmen. I set defense in (183) to 5. I have my 2 Jotun Skratti forge another clam of pearls each and equip each of them with one that is in the lab. I put the 2 Jotuns that Freke brought down into the same squad as the other Jotuns to help minimize routing chances. I sent my main army from (183) to (180) to try to take over the Heavy Infantry and Cavalry there. I have reports ranging from 10-30 there with Heavy Cavalry listed 2nd, so hopefully the cavalry are 10 or less in number. Hugin comes down from (195) with his 6 Jotuns to join in the fight. Assuming I can take over (180) next turn, I plan to then move on to take (166) and build a fort/temple/lab and await construction 4 for wraith swords and other goodies. Then I may have to decide to move on Marignon and start building my 2nd army to send out West from my capitol. I have Starkader wait in (179) and Tunne wait in (152). My extra mages in the capitol continue to research construction with 27 total RPs. |

Yikes! I love how Abysia goes to war with you, heheh. For defenders, there are 2 Mounted Commanders, 11 Heavy Infantry, and 10 Heavy Cavalry. At least this Version of Heavy Cavalry has the light lance as a weapon, but I notice the hoof attack is 10 damage, ouch! After scripting their spells, both Vaklidun and Gotvid have 38 fatigue. After the initial Cavalry charge, I do not lose any units, but two Jotuns only have 21 and 2 hps left. 1 of these Jotuns dies the next round, but then the enemy routs and I take the province with only one lost Jotun Huskarl. Gotvid has a hard time with his new encumbrance of 9 and tires out quickly. Hopefully the wraith sword will overcome this penalty easy enough once I can get one. I also notice that one of my winter wolves loses an eye. After the battle, I group all of my Jotuns together in a squad and end up with 12 total. I also notice that my new province has a Library! Excellent! Now I can recruit sages for 80 gold for 7 RPs each. This should greatly help my research efforts and allow me to get some random 1 elemental mages.

Hugin starts to construct a fort in (180) to help protect the sages that I will start recruiting. It costs me 450 gold and will take 3 turns to build. I set the province defense here in (180) to 5. Vaklidun, Gotvid, and Freke move on to province (166) to attack the barbarians there. I now have 12 winter wolves and am enjoying their effectiveness. I have all of my mages in the capitol research construction with a total of 48 RPs. I set 45 RPs in construction to complete level 4, and put the remaining 3 RPs in conjuration. I plan to now go for conjuration 5 for Acashic Record, but also intend to use level 2 for summoning some Ice Drakes and level 3 for summoning some Vine Ogres. My Last game I didnt use any Vine Ogres at all, but with a druid site early in the game and with the improved stats of the Vine Ogres in the mod, I will try some again this game to see how they work. I plan to have a few Ice Drakes be a part of my 2nd army that I will start to form very soon and maybe make an army of Vine Ogres later on. I will attach another updated screen capture of the map here. |

When I decide to go to war I better have plenty of supplies with me before I move out. I increase the PD of (152) and (166) to 11 now that I am bordering some possible aggressive nations. The fort is now completed in (180) and the income level of the province has increased to 74 and the resources to 106. This is a decent place to recruit some added Jotuns if needed once I go to war. This turn I recruit another sage in (180) and a priest in (152) to stay in the temple and preach. I save the rest of my gold to recruit a Niefel Jarl next turn to be the start of my second army.

A wave of religious zeal has swept the province and a group of followers committed to your cause have joined your armies. It appears that I now have 47 militias that have joined me. Guess I will have to send them to their death soon as I think I pay upkeep on them :/. ~ There are 8 arena battles and one winner. I will try to quickly summarize what happens in each of them. (1) Mictlan vs. Caelum. Mictlan send Mictlipoctli its prophet which is equipped with an Axe of Sharpness. Caelum sends Xshviwraspa the Seraphine. Mictlipoctli spams Raise Skeletons and Xshviwraspa keeps casting Banishment. The skeletons quickly overwhelm her and Mictlan wins. (2) Tien ChI vs. Abysia. Tien ChI sends Tian-Zong the Prince General and Abysia sends Mog the Beast Trainer. Tian-Zong takes a few rounds and ends up killing Mog in melee and is left undamaged. (3) Mictlan vs. Ctis. Ctis sends Ishkur its prophet the Lizard King. Ishkur starts out casting Holy Avenger and repeated Smites on Mictlipoctli. Mictlipoctli gets damaged on the first Smite and goes berserk and charges to melee. Mictlipoctli end up winning the battle with 19 hps left. (4) Arcoscephale vs. Tien ChI. Arcoscephale sends Nurbis the Moloch, its pretender. The Moloch is 4F, 2A, 6S, 4D. It has its imps appear then casts Personal Luck and Body Ethereal and goes into melee. Tian-Zong manages to kill one imp and then perishes once Nurbis hits him. (5) Mictlan vs. Pythium. Pythium sends Bartholomeus its prophet the Patriarch and also has Ritual of Returning up. Mictlipoctli spams Raise Skeletons again and as soon as one hits Bartholomeus he routs (returns to the capitol I assume due to RoR). (6) Mictlan vs. Arcoscephale. The imps from Nurbis the Moloch kill Mictlipoctli before they can do anything. (7) Arcoscephale vs. Vanheim. Vanheim sends Gunnlaug the Vanjarl. Gunnlaug casts Banishment then kills enough imps to make them rout. Nurbis casts Personal Luck, Body Ethereal then ends up killing Gunnlaug in melee after a few rounds of combat and misses.

Marignon also has in (136) 90 Halberdiers, Crossbowmen, Archers, Swordsmen, and Pikeneers. Yikes, looks like some fairly large armies that could move on me soon. I increase the PD of my new province of (146) to 11. Gisli takes the new Pendant of Luck and the Ice Drake he just summoned and searches for magic sites in (218). Angerboda searches for magic sites in (202). My fort is completed in (152). Hopefully my army will be able to handle Marignons armies in the area. I would like to construct a lab in the new province of (146) because there is a new Library there, but I decide it may be best to wait until the threat in the area is calmed down some. I notice I can also recruit shaman in the swamp (146). I send my main army back to (152) to try to anticipate an offensive by Marignon. Confar is my new sage and is 1B. I will use him to blood hunt later on when I get that going. This turn I recruit a new sage, a Niefel Jarl and 3 Jotun Spearmen in my capitol, and a Jotun Scout in (152). For this turn I forge a Skull Staff, Winged Shoes (by one of my sages), and use alchemy to get enough nature gems to forge a Ring of Regeneration. I ponder summoning a Bane Lord, but they are so dang slow on the battlefield and I hate waiting for them in past times I have used them. However, I have never used Winged Shoes on them and decide to try that this time which should fix that problem. I forge the Skull Staff so that I can get one of my 2D casters to 3D to summon one next turn. I take a peek at the graphs and make a note of the numbers of provinces the other nations have compared to me. I will list the nations and the relative amount of provinces compared to me. Marignon (+1), Arcoscephale (+2), Vanheim (+3), Ctis (+3), Tien ChI (+5), Rlyeh (-1), Mictlan (-2), Pythium (-3) and the others less than that. The rest of my mages will research Enchantment with 71 RPs. I would like to get to Enchantment 5 in case I need to Dispel a real nasty global and hopefully to try to cast Gift of Health before too long. |

Pythium has 30 Alae Legionnaires and Triarius in (141), 30 Militias and Triarius in (136), and (123) appears to be free from military units. I send my main army back to province (152) with orders to Move and Patrol. Erik is my new Jotun Gode that is in my capitol. He takes the 2 new Jotun Spearmen and moves on to (208). Angerboda moves on to (166) to continue searching for sites. Robior is my new sage and is 1A. I have one of my 1A sages forge another pair of Winged Shoes and a Jotun Skratti forges a Clam of Pearls. I recruit another sage this turn and a Jotun Scout in my capitol. My newly formed 2nd army will attack the barbarians in the west in province (212). I have a total of 2 Niefel Jarls, 1 Bane Lord, 2 Niefel Giants, 3 Ice Drakes, and 9 Jotun Spearmen. I have the Niefel Jarls cast Quickness, Breath of Winter, Blessing, and attack closest. I have the Bane Lord (hold) a couple turns then attack closest also. With my remaining gold I increase the PD of all of my provinces that were under 10 up to 10. This should protect them all from the minor remote attack spells anyway. The rest of my mages will continue to research Enchantment with 93 RPs. |
