Re: abysia strategies

What about the part where I said:

The actual fun parts of the game -- the huge variety of spells, magic items, and units -- are lost in the intense competitiveness of multiplayer. "You can't do X,...

Re: abysia strategies

Hear the ripping sounds? That's me tearing up my strategies. The thumping sounds is me banging my head against the wall.

Magic 3 because your researchers are capital only? Sigh. Should have been...

Re: abysia strategies

For me, single player IS the game.

In multiplayer you have to contend with cheaters. You have to contend with people exploiting loopholes in the game system to do things the designers never...

Re: abysia strategies

Thanks for the comments!

I appreciate knowing what works in multiplayer, but I play exclusively single player games.

Years ago I played a lot of VGA Planets. I have found those who play...

abysia strategies

Many posters say Abysia is a top-5 race. However, I'd never had any success with Abysia. So either I was doing something wrong, or the posters here are cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

I decided...

this is so cool

This is a totally useless post, but I just had to share:

In my current single player game I'm playing Caelum, and trying a Vampire Queen for the first time. It's turn 10, and my VQ has a...

Re: impossible

Independents at 7 worked great! The AI expanded but not at a ridiculous rate. I'll crank down the site chance next game. I like to crank it up so I have lots of gems to try different strategies.

impossible

I couldn't understand how people routinely win solo games vs impossible opponents. I've done it with Ermor, but three dozen arch bishops summoning longdead horsemen is not exactly expert tactics.

Re: Integer divide by zero

Okay, I sent the game files to info@illwinter.com. It's a solo game so I don't mind starting a new game. I was just testing a new Arco design -- taking a magicless Nataraja with a watch tower sure...

Integer divide by zero

Interesting crash in my latest solo game: Dom2 crashes upon hosting. I tried redoing the turn, same problem. I deleted the 2host file and redid the turn. Same problem.

Re: Enlightenment of a SP Addict

Oh you're kidding. Wraith Lords can cast a drain life damage shield? That's just disturbing.

My Wraith Lords typically run around with wraith swords, chainmail of displacement, spirit helm, boots...

Re: Enlightenment of a SP Addict

Sure! But I'm a complete newbie. I can barely find the research screen. Can I play the first 10 turns by myself, and then everyone else can start on turn 11? Or better yet, let me design my own race!...

Re: Enlightenment of a SP Addict

Okay, now I just have to try Abysia. It'll give me a good excuse to try those bloodhunting scouts I've heard so much about.

What kind of growth scale do you use? I know Abysia isn't affected by...

Re: Enlightenment of a SP Addict

Well, I've used Body Ethereal. That works great. Mistform? Mirror Image? Umm...used those all the time! Yeah! *coughs*

Re: Enlightenment of a SP Addict

I thought Ghost Riders attacked a province. If so, a SC inside a castle or protected by a decent army is likely safe. Earth Attack avoids the army issue entirely.

I haven't seen a lot of...

Enlightenment of a SP Addict

Time for some random thoughts.

I play Dominions 2 exclusively in single player mode. Reading this board makes me realize how much I’m missing in my approach to the game.

Races I can play well...

really basic modding question

Okay, I want to seriously try my hand at modding. Specifically, I'd like to create a baseline "mod" for each race that duplicates the race exactly. From there I can tweak, add & delete to my heart's...

I downloaded the Hoburg mod the other day (very well done!) and perused the .dm file to see how things worked. I tweaked the horticulturalists to give them 9 in all types of magic (oh fun, 74...

Re: overpowered satyrs

The boots are for strategic movement and the helm is to maximize casualties.

The strategy is this: every turn the golem teleports to the largest concentration of enemy troops. He starts at the far...

Re: overpowered satyrs

I didn't save it, but I should be able to recreate it

Jokes aside, the satyr didn't kill my golem. And the golem had no fatigue. Barrier prevents him from being affected by the Unquenched Sword. ...

Dear Illwinter,

I would like to suggest in the strongest possible terms that Pangaean satyrs are hideously overpowered. One satyr, all by himself, killed my ubergolem.
