PBEM game: The first step (Running)

Turn 7

I give more orders. I find two more players. My scouts haven't observed anything useful yet.

I notice Machaka and Marignon had a decrease in dominion. Possible contact with a high dominion Ermor?

Aeroscale is real low in dominion.

Machaka is biggest in income, army size and provinces. Lowest in research though.

Hector Stark died.

Urgeks beast brothers is for hire. Bunch of foul spawns under the command of an elephant commander. They're cheap, but not too good.

The last turn was a bit unpleasent, but atleast I learned the importance of correct troop placement

Anyway, things are still going as planned, or atleast close to that.

Turn 8

Vespur had a nasty accident, back to the lab for him/her. I made a mistake, gave it a militia escort

.

Not much to report for the rest.

Wow this game is going really fast. We are doing about a turn a day.

I agree, and I love it. Now I can see why MP is better than SP, and to get into 2 or 3 games at a time to keep the interest in the game up.

Can't wait for the next turn to start - found a magic site called "casino", hoping to win some gold... though we all know the house always wins.

Wow a Casino! Ive never even seen those.

Yeah shmonk, MP totally rules. I dont even understand anymore why people play SP. One thing to watch out for with MP games tho: as you move into the end-game your turns can sometimes get quite long (an hour or more). So if you have a lot of games all in the end phase you might get overwhlemed. Many MP players play in multiple games but stagger thier involvement. So once they reach late-game in one match, they will enter another match, knowing that the late-game will be over before the new game starts to take up too much time.
