Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?
I reckon most people who start MP have probably already done a fair bit of thinking in SP. And if you start winning, if everyone else has any common sense they will gang up on you. I've never heard of a Dominions game being a walkover (in the way that RTSes often end up being for some reason) so I shouldn't worry about that.
LA Ermor automatically produces huge numbers of undead troops and commanders in its dominion. After a while you can have several armies of thousands - micromanagement craziness!

Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?

Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?
Playing a lot of SP won't help you a ton in MP. There are several SP modes of play that teach bad habits.

Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?
Like in SP its pretty easy to stop the majority of ai attacks simply by cranking your PD up high enough.
Thats generally not suggested in multiplayer  . |

Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?
125 pd WILL still be annoying for human players I'd imagine

Re: Any new players fancy multiplayer?
You are correct there, however 125 pd is extremely expensive and would be MUCH better spent elsewhere - particularly since human players can make far better use of flight/stealth/magic movement.

Possibly, but most will simply ignore it, until they can send in a couple of thugs to wipe it out.
In MP, a large number of the very best players only have a PD of 1 or so in there provinces. They consider it a complete waste of money in MP play. |
