Re: Ermor

You are using a somewhat different definition of "unbalanced". Consider the simple game of rock-paper-scissors. Would you say that the game is unbalanced? "Paper has no defense against scissors!"

Re: Can those who have the game now...

Can't answer the first question... with regard to the second question, the AI isn't competetive in the early game. This means that even if it were very good at endgame tactics, it would tend to...

Re: Can those who have the game now...

Thus far, one difficulty with Ermor I've had already that was never a factor in Dom I is a lack of leaders. They still generate undead troops in provinces of their own dominion (in Ashen Empire and...

Re: Master Alchemist

I believe that's how it was in Dom I, though the costs may have changed. The alchemist ability to pull gold from gems can be a major strategic factor, if you build your plans around it. If you're not...

Re: Can those who have the game now...

Yes, I think most of us are.

I have mostly been interested in the new Ermor themes, and trying out various things with them. Soul Gate seems very nice to start with - *starting* with ethereal...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Well, it's difficult to get in more than one turn per day since we're all over the map - Finland, France, and in the U.S. California, Ohio, and Texas if I'm not mistaken - but I hold out hope that...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

If anyone at some point loses the IP they can message me privately for it either through the Boards or by email - so there's no reason to take fright.

As of now the game is set to "quickhost",...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Minor request, no big deal:

Now that we've got the game started, would anyone who has quoted my IP previously in this thread please "X" it out? The ones I saw at first glance were Posts by talos...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

It must have been the SPI then. We are now under way, settings as specified, guidance is internal.

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

My IP is static; it will always be the same as what it was. I verified this earlier today.

Removing the firewall is not an option. I just disabled SPI on the off chance that this was causing it...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

I am on pacific time, which I believe is GMT -8

Everything seems to be as it was when I originally set it up; I've just enabled logging which may give me some more insight to the problem. If...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

It should work now, let me know if not; works fine from behind the firewall, but I don't have an outside box to test from.

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Due to the demands of work and life in general, I have perhaps been remiss in attending to my bulletin board responsibilities.

I am not at home right now, so I can't check on the status of the...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Five people in thus far (Ulm, Pythium, Ctis, Jotunheim, Machaka). So on the theory that more people may see this on Monday, I'll hold off on starting the game til Tuesday, and start it Tuesday...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Well, it was intended to be an additional game (if it worked at all), but given that people have been able to connect and it appears to be the only game in town at the moment, I suppose it replaces...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

Just as an experiment, would someone mind trying to connect to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port 2012?

I have a game waiting there, mainly I want to see if it works and if people can connect; if so, then I'm...

Re: Life after Death Blessing oddities

Interesting. I guess the return-to-life bonus would be a bit problematic if it required a commander capable of leading undead to work.

As far as the relative power of the death bonus, I don't see...

Re: DOMII PBEM game update

How many people were in at the time, did we have all of them? I think Kristoffer mentioned an option that would prevent anyone from starting the game before the requisite slots were filled.

Re: Occam\'s Razor

At the beginning of each battle, all troops beyond the first soldier of each troop type are destroyed.

Duplicate entities thus removed can be restored using a new nature spell, "Necessity".
