Here is a tragedy : I have no gem, no magic site searched, my pretender is dead, I have only one castle, almost no research already made, only a few mages, no scout... Well that is a challenge.

I postponed the game for 72 hrs as I am on vacation, and while I have some internet access, it will be difficult to get my turn in. Hopefully get it in in the next 24hr. Sorry for the delay.

yeah well, there was a reason why the previous Yomi player bailed out after all... however, Yomi is generally considered to be a weak nation, mainly due to a pretty poor start, but if you survive it you have a solid mid and late game. so I guess it should be expected that Yomi in a newbie game has done poorly, but on the bright side, you can only make it better, and if you lose than it's hardly your fault.

I am playing Yomi in another game. I think they suffer from a lack of magic diversity, a lack of sacreds, and a lack of high level priests. My advice is to go lanterns/mentors for research and hope for magic diversity through indies. The situation you inherited might not be redeemable though.

yes they lack sacreds, but they got recruitable sacred SCs called Dai Onis, now these guys are pure awesomeness! by far the best thing about Yomi... well, they got pretty good summons as well, shared with Shinuyama and Jomon, but he said he doesn't have that many gems...

That is not a question of weak or strong nation (I do not think it matters for beginners anyway). And Yomi do not seems weak to me.
But the early game was surely awful (War in the very beginning of a game looks very hard to handle, diplomacy makes everything). The situation is probably desperate, but I knew I was going to inherit a bad position, no problem

. I only want to survive a little to learn about this nation and this situation. That is why I am looking for peace !!
Dai Onis looks indeed very powerful, and magic variety is maybe balanced by the pretender, I do not know, I did not seen him, nor the prophet...
In my first game, Shinuyama has won, There are probably not much differences with Yomi.

actually there are quite a few, but yes they do share the same unique summons... oh and before saying your pretender is dead, are you sure it's actually dead and not say imprisoned? imprisoned pretenders break out anywhere within years3-4, we've just started year3 so he could just be imprisoned. unless of course you have the ability to "call god" with your priests, which suggest he's in fact dead not imprisoned.

and well, if you want peace than I suggest you PM your aggressive neighbors, it would do you a lot more good than saying it out loud over the forums. talk to them, engage in diplomacy and hopefully you can get some peace to learn the nation.

Nah, he's dead. I killed him!

Astyreal · #79 June 7th, 2010, 09:07 PM

I postponed the game 24hrs as it looked like a couple players were going to stale.

Get your turns in guys!

Mictlan is willing to buy dwarven hammers and earth gems. in return we can send water, fire, nature and astral gems. prices would depend on the amount of hammers/earth gems as well as which type of gem you'd want in return.

PM me on the forums with offers, the sooner the better.
