MP: Primordial Cake - [Game In Progress]

[YellowCactus]

It WAS a fun game. Mictlan was not diplomatic enough in this game. Was a good time though!

[AreaOfEffect]

Updated Mictlan's status.

I would like to know Yellow's thought on who gets his dagger.

[YellowCactus]

Definately Googly1. He wore me down so the vultures could come in! (No offense, you Vultures!)

[AreaOfEffect]

Alright. Noted. When Mictlan is finally ashes, I'll grant C'tis his dagger.

Now, I'm counting up the daggers and I find I'm a bit short.

For the deaths of Gath and Patala, I have Ermor for 2 daggers.
For the death of Ulm I have Utgard for 1 dagger.
For the death of Argatha I have Tien Chi for 1 dagger.
For the death of Abyssia I have Pythium for 1 dagger.
For the deaths of Marignon, Jomon, and Ermor, I have Atlantis for 3 daggers.

When Utgard dies, I believe we agreed the dagger goes to Caelum.
When Mictlan dies, the dagger goes to C'tis.

Man, Bogarus, Arcoscephale, Caelum, Tien Chi, and Atlantis are all in fair condition. Though I believe Caelum is only half of what it use to be.

That leaves the death of Pythium unremembered. Can anyone help with this one?

this is debatable, but I think the dagger for Abysia should probably go to me instead of Pythium. I had orchestrated Abysia's downfall with Pythium from the start and did the bulk of the fighting -- including taking his capitol -- although it was definitely a team effort.

For Pythium it's hard to tell since I was originally allied with them, but they decided to bum rush me with everything they had after they went AI, so I spent many turns trying to push them back and thin out their army until I was finally able to take their capitol. T'ien did quite a bit of fighting as well, so he might have different perspective.

Apologies for the short notice, but if you get this in time, AoE, I could use a 24-hour extension. I'm assuming you won't, so I'll try to get my turn in at the last minute.

Thanks, either way.

[AreaOfEffect]

Sorry I didn't read this time. Hope you got all your major moves in.

So, before starting this game, there was a long lull where I abstained from Dominions 3. Yet we know its such a great game that no reasonable enthusiast of strategy games could stay away for very long.

I started this game as the latest CBM of the time. Personally, I played more vanilla then CBM in my total career. So the Zemy was an entirely new unit to me, as well as many other summoned commanders. In my calculations, the Zemy is possibly the most cost effective unit in the entire game. I would even put it above tartarians if what your looking for is a unit to stomp with. Now that may be extreme, but its an estimation of the pound-for-pound gain from a simple 30 gem investment. I was unfortunate to be unable obtain fire gems at all for the majority of the game. Even now, my total accumulation of said fire gems have been rather disappointing.

I will now make a sad face and get over it. Onwards!

I think they are overpowered: From my experience they are hard to kill, hard to track down, pack a mean punch, and are relatively cheap to summon. In the few MP games I've been in (four including this one), it seemed that many of the players (including me) scrambled to build as many of these units as possible.

I've been able to find some counters, but they require a fair amount of resources to pull off. I don't know the details, but I think they are being toned down in a future CBM version.

If possible, I'll need a 12 hour extension for the turn. Thanks!
