Newbie Game EA (Running)

Ironhawk said:

Ughhh! Yeah, that is rough to take a catastrophic loss like that. Particularly so from a nation that said it was at peace with you.

That said, in dominions, almost anything is possible on the battlefield when the combination of units, spells, etc, is just right. In fact look at the example of the SC (SuperCombatant). There you will have a single fighter able to defeat hundreds of opponents - entire armies - by himself.

But as with all things in dominions, there is no strategy, no unit, no SC, that does not have a counter that can defeat it. If you could give the details of the battle: the units involved, spells, etc, perhaps I can offer some useful comments on tactics that would help you defeat this kind of attack in a future game.

Might I point out Ironhawk, Whollabug had actually pointed out when he joined that he is NOT a newbie.

As Ermorean senate flees,

Mighty Vanheim despises the decadent senate of Ermor as it flees in hope to save their fat bellies.
Fleeing abroad might give you some years to live, but when true God ascends there is no safe place left for dirty mouths that would like to tarnish the reputation of Vanheim by lowly lies!

What is true is that Ermor attacked us first and thus spelled the doom over themselves voluntarily. Foolish senate would not listen to reason and would not negotiate like a civilized nation would. This barbaric stubborness made them start a war against us.

As the war progressed and senate was shown the true power of our shocktroops they tried to seede to our initial trading proposition but that would not been possible at that time anymore.
More compensation was needed, vanir cannot be humiliated.

We sent a private message and offered Ermorian senate a peace on terms. This proposition would have given Ermor time to recuperate and safety from the strong giants that already eyed upon the Ermor. Foolish senate didn't reply but instead announced that they would flee and leave their underlings to die alone and in vain without their nasty leaders who would make their nation pay in blood the time they needed to pack national gold into their triremes that are now sailing to foreign ports.

Vanheim will offer Ermorean people new leadership that would not abandon them in time of crisis.

I am in understanding that you are not mixing ingame and outgame messages and i respect that. If i would have gotten to war by two nations with dual bless in the early phase of game i would have had very bad ingame and outofthegame feelings.
I am not sure how well i could roleplay in such a circumstanses as i have never encountered a blessrush against me. (If the current war with Atlantis is not counted.)

Stryke11 you have roleplayed well [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon02.gif[/img] as in Dom3 kind of strategygame it seems that not all would like to roleplay, which is voluntary as it's not stated in the current gamesetup.

I hope that in games of future you could show same kind of willpower to just roleplay against me, who have shown contempt "in charcter".
If i were you i wouldn't be sure if i could clearly separate in- and offgame like you seem to be able. This requires strenght to see in what category these ingame nasty words belong.

(ooc) Kissjagon:
When I joined I informed that I had played 5 or so MP games of Dominions 2. No-one mentioned at that point that it might be too much experience for a newbie.

Out of those Dom2 games three were so called blitz-games that lasted only few turns (<20). So if you think that two full MP-games change things and remove my newbie status - so be it. But as these are words and words mean what we believe words to mean - i would still count myself as a newbie.

I am willing to leave the game if majority of players of this game think that i play in wrong company.

Of cource if Ironhawk as the respected host of this game would think the same way i would be more than willing to leave the game, but in that case there might be others as well, who happen to have some MP-experience from Dom2 too...

Let's consider who is a newbie?
