Re: Adjudication on a NAP

I think Saxon has a point. Part of the player culture of Diplomacy is that lying and treachery are part of the game, just like part of the culture of poker is that bluffing is part of the game. ...

Re: Time for a poll. (The subject is abuse)

Actually, if you're *literally* sailing out of the besieged castle, I think that *should* be allowed. Any castle in a coastal province is probably going to be built on the coast and the besieging...

Re: Gath, dev diary or something

With navigation, naturally. He should have a special effect that casts Rain wherever he goes - at least for forty days and forty nights. (Which, come to think of it, is less than two turns...) It...

Re: Well, I\'m through with the game

You could, but it would be nearly as much effort as just *improving* the bad troops (in stats, cost, or whatever it is they're so bad at), which would clearly be a better move.

Re: Regarding patch 3.15

Gath was one of the five cities of the Philistines, a possibly Indo-European tribe which warred with the Hebrews. You might have heard of one of their national heroes, Goliath. (He'll probably be...

Re: Progress Page Broken?

The progress page is back, and has some interesting new information. Apparently there's a new nation called "Bogarus"... wonder if they have Baba Yaga as a national hero?

Re: Old Age Request

Growth is anti-thematic for Abysia. They shouldn't need to take it (and can't afford it).

I posted in another thread the suggestion that Abysians, specifically, should be immune to death scale...

Re: Trivia: How do you kill this unit?

Heartfinder sword probably doesn't work on lifeless beings - no heart, or if they have one, it's not essential to life.

Ethereal Crossbow allows an MR save, which the Sphinx will probably pass...

Re: Spell usage for melee units with magic

I've done Earthpower, Ironskin/Invulnerability, attack one turn, Flame Eruption x2, (nothing) with Dai Oni before and it worked pretty well. The one turn of attack gets you in range for FE and the...

Re: Is black plate worth it?

But they already basically negate most mundane weapons. If they negated magic *too* they'd be invincible (except for trample).

Don't forget that they can push drain-3, which raises MR and...

Re: Mighty Pak-ur

Oh boy, that's an old one. I think it dates back to Dom:PPP.

The period should probably just be changed to a comma.

Re: Post-siege recruitment bug -- previous queue

Re: Missing Wishes

Wishes I'd like to see (although I might not ever use them):

Re: Suggested Changes to Bless Bonuses

Exactly. Right now, anyone who wants a strong bless for sacreds with low HP takes W9 and probably F9. If they're high HP they take N6-9 and possibly E9. The rest are basically not worth...

Abysia, Age and Death: a suggestion

It seems to me that since Dom 1, Abysia has been balanced around their 240 free points: they prefer heat-3, and they're immune to (what used to be) the most important effect of death scale, reduced...

Re: Suggested Changes to Bless Bonuses

Blesses were never *just* a 2 morale bonus. In Dom1 they gave +3 att +3 str, the equivalent of a F6B6 under the Dom 2/3 system. (Nearly everyone who cares about their sacreds has a stronger bless...

Re: Why are S&A CM\'s still old...?

They're old because they've lived a long time? I don't really understand the question. Did you expect them to be some kind of supernatural being that never ages? (Well actually, they can, for...

Re: Woo-Hoo - 3.10 available

Is it possible for the new hydras to regrow heads during combat? Do they get their lost heads back for next month?

Otherwise it seems like once you reduced a hydra (or Hydra) to one head it would...

Re: Good idea?(archer priests)

Re: How do you fight the Niefel giants?

And now with Fomoria, even the water nations aren't safe from a regenerating giant rush.

Fomorian Giants have javelins, too... range 24 damage 27 javelins. Very nasty (although the long range and...

Re: Woo-Hoo - 3.10 available

I don't think that's a hero, but rather their Conj 9 national summon, Daughter of Typhon... 30 nature gems, N5D2. Description implies uniqueness.

If you could get that for free it would be rather...

Re: Dark Knight

I thought archer decoying only worked if the archers were explicitly scripted to fire closest - if you leave them on AI (or fire none) they'll ignore close groups that are too small to be worthwhile....
