Game summary for Tir na n'Og from turn 1 to turn 16:
It begins...
I'm not going to devote much time on reporting these early turns, here is a brief summary. Basic strategy is to recruit lots of these..
led by these..
For research I'm looking to recruit these when I can afford it..
but when low on gold I'll recruit these instead..
Expansion occurs, I avoid the tough looking indies, still run into some tougher indie leaders that cause some surprise..
To combat these tougher indies I recruit elite mercenaries to support my armies..
What?!?!
At least I only spent 45 gold on this... guy? Lets say goodbye..
Ha Tien Chi, he's missing seven of his fellow freaks!
Site searching we find many goodies including this..
Should I rush the
Queens of Stone Age? No, Tir na n'Og doesn't have enough Earth access to rock out.
Turn 12 arrives and the hero of our game is found..
My first indie stealth commander, oh thank the gods! No wait, thank this guy..
His back-story: Chris was a wizard who longed to be a sheep. Being a wizard is fraught with danger, you get sent into battles to be mere communion slaves. I have yet to see a single sheep in battle in the Dominions universe. Thus the desire to be a sheep. Unfortunately Chris was not of Mictalan, but he was no turkey when it came to the magical arts and was able to transform himself into a lich. His next transformation will be to a lich sheep, and then to his dream of being a sheep.
Also on turn 12 we win a bidding war..
and have..
Astral access. I forgot Chris has Astral, but who cares when on his first turn of searching Dagan finds..
Totally worth it!
Such heroes attract heroes..
10% forge bonus and fire access
We got stomped by two Sauromancers spamming the undead, these ladies are hired to help out..
Which brings us around to turn 16. Graphs are off so no sneak peaks as to where I am compared with others, instead here is my gem income..
research..
and map..
