Re: Back again after absence, polling interest for a MA (learning) game

I must confess my ignorance. What changes in CBM cause these effects?[/QUOTE]

There's no one change - you have to get down in the readme files. But in general, many spells had gem costs and...

Re: Back again after absence, polling interest for a MA (learning) game

I mostly agree, except that I think CBM *does* make big differences, and good ones. I think that the point at which magic starts making a big difference comes much earlier in the game. So there's...

I'm fine with that. I forsee some very long turns soon.

Re: MP: New Noob Game/Inexperienced. EA - NOOBAPHOBIA Filled

The back end seems to be down - the last update on several games is 18:54 GMT Saturday even though it was (as of my viewing) 1:17 GMT Sunday. So roughly, it seems the problem from Friday/yesterday...

Re: MP: New Noob Game/Inexperienced. EA - NOOBAPHOBIA Filled

I'd say having a strong combat pretender in your capital on turn 5 is a pretty desperate situation. Little income and no recruitment of nationals makes it virtually impossible to build much of an...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

That's a definition of "balanced", but not for an *endgame* diversity mod. By that balance, Tarts are still the trump of the endgame; you've just added *midgame* options which may pre-empt Tarts....

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

That makes sense, and they should come at the same point as Tarts, research level 9. Balancing against Tarts is good but balancing them against Tarts and putting them at research 8 is bad. Balancing...

Re: solo turn based empire builder

Civ 4 is a big improvements over earlier Civs in terms of depth because much more effort has been put into balancing strategies. Expansion in particular is no longer an unmitigated good. It's also...

Re: MP: New Noob Game/Inexperienced. EA - NOOBAPHOBIA Filled

I would prefer Plane of Rusty Nails. 15 provinces/players is a good number, while the endgame on a 221 province map like Cradle of Dominion is pretty onerous. Also, for MP I prefer wraparound for...

Re: Santa in the Chimney - no diplo mp game, 6/6, starting

Hm, protection 7 - should be killable with a few hundred archers. Once it gets out of that lake, of course. You wouldn't want to take a swim there!

Re: MP: New Noob Game/Inexperienced. EA - NOOBAPHOBIA Need 4 more players

Hellheim.

So how many troops do you have to send in for a block not to count as an exploit? Five? Ten? Twenty? The computer AI does it all the time with about 10-20.

Re: Santa in the Chimney - no diplo mp game, 6/6, starting

I think it has more than 1000 hit points so even a successful Soul Slay won't do the job (only 999 damage). Plus on my scout report it had a magic resistance of 29 IIRC so don't expect a quick kill...

Re: Santa in the Chimney - no diplo mp game, 6/6, starting

Um, that thing was pretty terrifying a few turns ago, according to my scout report. I'm afraid to think what it's like now.

Re: Santa in the Chimney - no diplo mp game, 6/6, starting

I'll play either with or without diplo. If the last player wants to change, I'll start sending out PMs.

Re: Pythium strategy advice

I find Communion slave more useful for the *low*-level mages. 4 communion slaves and the 1S1H mages can cast Smite, without any research. This also doesn't put much fatigue stress on the...

Re: Dominions 3 and micromanagement

Improving low-level magic would make the early game more varied, but it would make micromanagement *worse*. You're going to have almost as many squads but now also a bunch of mages with separate and...

Re: Why Don\'t My Mages Cast the Spells I Tell Them

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

Vans are effectively immune to melee and quite resistant to missle fire because of glamour+armor+shield+speed. That's both the basic attacks of Dominions. Other stuff is generally not available until...
