Cradle of Doom - MP game - RUNNING

[sergex]

Please don't call the VQ an exploit. An exploit is using something in a way to win contrary to how the devs designed it. They intend the VQ to be the way it is, so it's not an exploit. It may be imbalanced or not depending on your opinion but you definitely won't win or lose because of a single imbalance.

If you refuse to play with VQ's why did you play a MP game in the first place where they are allowed? If I were that adamant I would have insisited on a "no vq" house rule before I joined.

Furthermore, to stop my VQ all you need to do is keep up your dominion. You have very high dominion next to this one province so it's safe for a very long time against my abysia. I can't send in stealthy monks or anything to stop you from building dominion.

I just don't like people to quit so early for petty reasons as it ruins the balance of power.

I'm sorry to be harsh with you Rabe, but just one Last question. If I had another SC pretender would you still stay in the game? Like, a Nataraja or a Wyrm or Allfather or Virtue or whatever? I think any of those with the same spells (Mistform, Ironskin, Personal Luck, Quickness) would have beat both your army and the Trogs. Granted, there would have been a slight risk of my losing to a lucky hit or whatnot, but that would have made you stick around for that lucky chance?

Any SC pretender really would beat a nation that didn't have one at this point in the game. I don't think my choice in pretenders would have changed that.

In any case I don't want to be the cause of ruining the game for you, so can we just make an alliance?

The server seems to be down.

Sorry folks, the server is back up again.

Well I'm out. My Ulm strategy, if it even deserves to be called such a thing, needs some serious improvement. Let me know how it all turns out!

Is there a plan when the game starts going regular again?

Anyone else not able to connect with the server at all just now?
