Default Re: Mana Burn: Accelerated EA [ OPEN ]

With 20/20 hindsight I think that I did a somewhat poor job as Agartha.. Far far too timid in many ways. First thing was that I let AC scare me totally for a while and we did a whole LOT of researching with a tiny amt of summoning earth kings/fire/bane.. The kings of various sorts were cool but I only got a turn or 3 of use out of them before KURGI and friends and them.. I think I went through 3-4 of the royalty this way and never summoned their horror marked asses again..

So I sat on my *** and grew, mostly, for 20+ turns.. Very boring so I put on a +gumption item and started forging/ritualing wildly and discovered that the losses due to horrors were actually acceptable, especially with my immortal God! I did notice a seeming definite correlation between the level of the ritual/item forged and chance of horror attack. Data is scant but I bet the variable is 10%+10% per level of ritual/construction magic to get horror attacked. Plus I think that big spells attract bigger horrors. Babble, babble but I also just realized that the three times I saw horrors of power greater than Horrors they were all "directed" at powerful, high hit point, SC type creatures such as Kings. Rathar with his measly 10 hps met 85% lesser horrors and 15% horrors.

Looming hell for me equaled one demon attack the whole game, think your dominion was in that province and never had it happen again (I boosted dominion all over). The giants were a bit more of a pain in the rear for whatever reason with approx 7 total attacks one of which I defeated and the other six were at best minor annoyances. The ice part would have been nasty but I didn't fully read Agarthas description and gave them a cold scale (Doh! Cold blooded!) so I was already screwed in that dept!

But then when I think upon the fact that this was my second dom 3 game and that it's only my 6th or so dominions MP game I smile and give self slack.!

Oh and Lolomo, nice work and congratulations on the win! You dirty dog you!

Hey! I just recently randomly picked up the fact that Lolo implies superheroic abilities in Tagalog, whats the Mo for?!
