Re: Your Favorite Magic Path

Blood baby, blood!

Maybe not as multifaceted as other paths but powerful via sheer brute strength. Getting a slave income of 200+/turn in a MP game is actually feasible, which is not the case for...

Re: Wind ride

I absolutely love me some wind ride, it's one of the best assassination spells around because it's so hard to defend against. Most nations don't have easy access to big mages, E4 mages, or ethereal...

Re: hosting time bug

That's a bug? That sounds like it's doing what it is supposed to do, you've just told it to do something silly.

If you want it to host every day at 5am, don't put on quickhost. If you want it to...

Re: Blood Nation Woes

That's actually not a good way to play Mictlan. I much prefer a milder bless with decent dominion. Not using Mictlan's ability to power-spread dominion and thus not taking advantage of the...

Re: Is it just me or is Hellheim troops way to str

Well yeah they are easier to use. It's hard to use them wrong since they are superior units.



I disagree. A more experienced player, who knows exactly how to take advantage of such uber...

Re: EA Mictlan Setup - Q\'s from a noob

I always recommend to people new to EA Mictlan to take a balanced approach. Dominion 8, scales Order-3, Sloth-3, Heat-3, Growth-3, and an imprisoned blood fountain pretender with F9/B5 isn't a bad...

Re: Blood Kings: Lanka vs. Mictlan

Mini SCs perhaps, but ones who are horribly vulnerable to archers. And of course playing the oh-so-finicky controlled dominion spread game means that the dominion is [censored] and Mictlan is...

Re: Blood Kings: Lanka vs. Mictlan

Mictlan has no high protection troops, no effective ranged troops, no cavalry for fast attacks, etc. Jaguar warriors are very predictable and predictable is bad. I can count the number of times as...

Re: blood noob question

I like having the Onaquis hang back and just research or summon. The auto generate sacred bats things is awesome, especially if you park them in high dominion. Backed by a nice bless (say F9) those...

Re: Windows Email Notifier?

Glad I could help out. I wrote that script because I simply cannot stand to play in a game without email notifications. I'm simply too scatterbrained and can't manage to remember to check every day...

Re: Windows Email Notifier?

Bit of overkill though, for someone who just wants simple email notifications for their dom3 game.

Re: Windows Email Notifier?

With the --postexec argument to dom3. You just whip up a custom shortcut to start your dom3 server. You probably want to use things like --textonly --tcpserver --port and so forth anyway, so just...

Re: Windows Email Notifier?

For Linux servers, I use this script as my --postexec for email notifications

Code:


#!/bin/bash

PLAYER1=someguy@someemail.com
PLAYER2=someguy@someemail.com

Re: Easiest linux distro for a dom3 server?

I decided to switch my Fedora Core 3 server, which I'd long used for Dom2 hosting, over to ubuntu for Dom3.

Talk about silly easy.

Basically threw the install CD in and clicked yes or next a...

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

I'm sorry, but are you doing any MP play at all? That statement seems to be completely unsupportable. Dual Blessed Van/Hel against anyone else in an MP game is going to go in favor of the Van/Hel...

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

That's not a workable strategy. If you send your army to the front and they send the Van army to the front, then you go around them and attack the backfield, they will have another Van army building...

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

What you've basically said is that the game should be seriously imbalanced and we should all be happy about that?

No. Just . . . No.

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

I'm sorry but that's a silly request. Do you seriously want us to type out a list of all the nations in the game save one or two?

If you need a specific scenario to get the conversation rolling,...

Re: Horror Reward System

I think it depends on the build of the commander in question. With the right commander + equipment , the Hunter of Heroes is very beatable.

I finally met the Hunter of Heroes in one of my SP...

Re: Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)

Yeah it worked. I was playing Suaromatia and I'd run across a site that let me recruit S3 mages. So I'd recruited a bunch of them, equipped them with whips of command and the astral boosting hats,...

Re: Nations that seem strong/weak

I think it was a nerf targetted at anyone who thinks Death scale is free points, which was a lot of Dom2 players.

Now any nation that has recruitable old mages, and there are plenty, has to...

Re: Nations that seem strong/weak

If you are buying mages in that much bulk you can afford to lose a few. Think of it as the expense for balancing out the free design point from a death-3 scale.
