Well, qio, the only think ermor makes you do is keep a high dominion. In my opinion, Ryalla is actually a much bigger threat.

But, so far it doesn't matter - he hasn't indicated a desire to play.

Opinions are great. In fact, almost everyone has one. I prefer statistics, because I disagree with you. That means "me right" and "you wrong". I'd say the only thing "Ryalla" makes you do is keep a high dominion, if you really think about it for a moment. And yes, I am always right due to my superior intellect.

And no, it is not that simple. However, feel free to design a nation around dom10. I hear it's all the craze. I could honestly care less which of those 2 nations is more dominant. I only noticed that someone inquired about playing the other - Ermor.

The point being? If you are 'sophisticated' enough to think it's cool having LA Ermor in the game, then place another handicap on your own game. Don't ruin it for someone else who gets stuck next to Ermor with a dom5 build and sleeping pretender. Cause, it blows and will likely be me.

qio, chill out. It's just a game and right now you're coming off like an *** over a moot point.

It is not actually that hard to keep hostile dominion out of your lands.

Any preferences on map?
If we had 12, I'd go Wotg, but with 11.. Desert Eye?

It is so cool you have an opinion Fakey. How bout keeping your comments to the game?

Never seen a dominion kill game Juffos? Not as hard as you think. I'd bet 2 cents that pretender design has a large role in the outcome. Course, it's the unending hordes of undead that usually kill you. Not the awake dom10 SC that strolls around, or is it?

I'd give you the same advice. We're here to enjoy ourselves not to get a lecture from someone clearly not interested in anyone's opinion but their own. Please attempt to keep the flamebaiting out of game thread otherwise no one will be able to enjoy themselves.

And as to whatever comment I'm expecting you're going to post in response to this I frankly don't care, but on the off chance you want to move on from this and only post constructive criticism I'll happily forget this altercation if you are.

No preference for map - as long as it's somewhat fair for everyone. (ie. 3 or more neighboring provinces for everyone)

I was going to stay out of this, but it's getting ridiculous.

Anyone who takes an SC pretender as Ermor is a n00b who is just going to roll one neighbor, and then lose in mid-end game. The only things Ermor needs from their pretender are summons/research/diversity/dominion. Not killing stuff.

And anyways, I really -hate- fighting LA Ermor as well. But it's easy enough to just say "if you allow LA Ermor, I'm finding a different game", and let everyone else choose. As it is, it just looks like you're pitching a fit, but you'll play anyways.

Of course, but you couldn't help yourself could you?

Did that make your day to use "noob" in a sentence? I really am curious.

Again, this is totally irrelevant. There is no particular claim I am trying to make here other than dominion kill is a viable strategy.

If you want to discuss the pretender choices that Ermor has so vehemently. Then I'd say a lich with dom10 fits the criteria you state above and would work fine as an SC in early, mid or late game. And yes, even an SC pretender with no magic diversity, bad research and access to some summons is viable in mid and late game. The variance of the game can supplement a multitude of strategies - good or bad.

Strange. That's what I originally said in my post. Am I missing something? Is the omission of a smiley making this appear vile and hostile? If you're an English Major maybe you could tell me where did I go wrong in this post? See below. I was going for a sarcastic tone here.

What makes you think I won't bail the moment someone picks Ermor?
