Newbie Game EA (Running)

[FrankTrollman]

(OOC) This is my first game as Tien Chi, my first multiplayer game in Dominions 3, my first EA game... but it's not my first Dominions experience. I played a lot of Dominions 2, and while a huge amount of the tactics are completely different, some skills carry over.

Dominions 2 Magic was grounded in the fact that there were much smaller armies. An invasion of 60 guys was taken seriously. As such, the king of the battlefield was spells like Mind Burn and Frozen Heart which autmatically hit. In Dominions 3, armies are much larger, so I made a gamble that spells with a small area of effect would almost always hit something, and thus be amazingly effective.

That gamble appears to have paid off - I didn't even research the classic 100 Percent accuracy spells I knew and loved in Dominions 2 because the changes in the game seemed lik they would make different research paths good.

So no, I'd never done this before, but I've done something completely different and could make a logical guess as to what I would need to do differently to adapt.
