Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
Sigh, my very first multiplayer game and I get unrest in the home province on turn 2. Not to mention 2 of my surrounding provinces are elephants and the other 2 heavy calvary. At least my army didnt get wiped by the calvary first turn. Now the question is, do I hit those elephants now while my 11 WOFE have 18 health or do I bring my army back to the capitol to squash the unrest and reinforce?

The capitol income is really infinitely more valuable than any province.

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
At this stage of the game I'd fix your capital, yeah.
Unless you have a neighbor province with an income of 120 or something (does happen).

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
How much unrest are we talking about? If it 30 or less dropping your tax down to 0 for only one turn should clear it up (sucks but gets it over with quick).

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
Yeah, I don't know why, but when I take any misfortune (even at 1 or 2) I disproportionately get unrest on turn 2 in my capital (maybe it has to do with other scales I typically take). Often it's ~50 (got 90 once!) and it takes a couple turns of no money to rectify, which really hurts at turn 2. After a couple times of that happening I'm rather misfortune averse...
Oh well, that's one of the things about a game like Dominions, it's so complex that there are a whole lot of things that can kick you in the nuts through no real fault of your own...whether it's Bogus camping out on your capital, your SC getting feebleminded from one unlucky point of damage or 4 people ganging up on you. Keeps things interesting though!

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
33 unrest. I dropped tax to 50 and went for the elephants. Which was most likely a mistake as thinking about it now, im not sure if i was going to win the fight. I was relying a whole lot on some fancy scripting. Tsun Tsu would not be proud. That will teach me to do a turn at 0500.

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
The same thing happened to me. 50 unrest on the second turn. PAIN!

Re: Sophistry - Random Nations, Early Age (Sign-up
Lady luck must favor the bold. There were 13 elephants in that independant nation. They stomped all over my pikeman, killed em to the man, but they broke in the end and killed their own army.
