I don't take these games personal or serious. I too, have been having tons of fun. And yes, looking at the graphs and vfb's website, my armies are much less numerous than yours. Or anyone else's in the game. 8^) So far, I have been pleased with Abysia's magic abilities..especially the Annointeds' of Rhuax. That alone has kept me in the game on more than one occasion. I have not done as well as I would have liked in finding my strengths and my opponent's weaknesses. This is my first "real" MP game, and hopefully I will present more of a challenge next time. I am still learning.

Having said all of that, this is the first time in a long, long time that a game has obsessed me so. I enjoy a lot of different games, most of them historical military simulations a la Panzer Campaigns and Birth of America. This is not my favorite genre by far, but the depth and breadth of this game is breath taking to say the least. And while the game is enormously immersive, I can separate the role playing within the game from gamers who are also playing the game and attack me. After all, that is the point of the game, no? Who knows....next game we may be the closest of allies. I hope that happens.

lol. Good. I've been playing online now for a little over a decade, and know of too many people that take offense at the slightest thing. And for someone who is just learning you've done quite well. I'm by no means an expert, I admit I generally build armies in this game like I would for Warhammer, lots of troop variety. Other MP players tend to use the high bless, rush with best troops strategy. Good for winning I suppose but seems like it would get awful boring after awhile. So I may never win at MP (0-5) but I sure do like it.

And yes, the shear depth of this game is what hooked me as well. Course I started on Dom 2 and got hooked from there.
I'll certainly keep an eye out for the other guys in this game as well in the future. Funnest MP I've had yet.

This is a really fun game and I think it's totally great when people post details on the forums. The details and events on the world scale are fantastic.

This has been my first game with a sea nation and the
initial isolation (and initial alliances) have been great.
I appreciate the loyalty of the Fire and Pale Ones and
respect the alliances.

Sorry if my in-game messages are a little short but I'm
usually playing with a baby in my arms so its is easy for
me to click (sometimes not shift/control click though )
and a bit harder for me to actually type. But I do love
reading!

Yeah, something just crawled out of the drain and now I have to beat them back into the depths from whence they came.

Gives you a chance to build up again.
