I was afraid Argitoth's style of claiming things would annoy people. He really stands out on this forum, for some reason. Part of it is in what he says, which is great (I've also learned a lot from these threads, e.g. about using Manifestation to break castle defences in late game), and part of it is how he says it.

Like chrispedersen, I don't like seeing these "so long" posts on this forum. I didn't say anything about it because I think I mentioned his attitude first about a month ago, and didn't want to sound like a hypocrite. Still, the forum's been more lively for a while.

About Manifestation, I've found that Swarm works well as a cheap counter. It gives even N1 casters a decent chance to survive. Backed up with decent body guards, and perhaps a few more castings of Swarm if you are N2 or higher, and Manifestation is not that much of a threat.

About Argitoth, I too enjoy his threads. His monkey PD thread and other have created lots of new in-jokes over the last few months. It's good to have something besides the bog beast jokes. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with the bog beast jokes.

Yeah, what is it with the bog beast jokes anyway? I've been away for a year and when I come back everyone thinks bog beasts are hilarious as plush dolls.

Don't worry, my leaving has nothing to do with dominions game, the forum, the people on the forum, or anything like that. I just don't have time to be playing such a deep game. It requires hours of planning and even more hours to create all these thread.

Argitoth you should perhaps switch gears and try SP games instead of just dropping Dominions_3 completely. The AI has many weaknesses so for a challenge you'll have to use the mapedit commands to provide the AI a stronger start. You may also want to ban using certain spells against the AI since it lacks the knowledge for dealing with such spells like Wish and Ghost Riders.

Just a thought... if you're shelving the game then I suggest trying one of these games:

AOW:SM
Heroes_3:WOG
Stardocks fantasy TBS game due for release in 2009 (you'll need to wait)

Yep, you after give Argitoth credit here, the monkey PD was looneybob's or whatever his username was, Argitoth had nothing to do with that.

Mad/loopy/crazy bob came, created controversy, laughter and then went in about 2-3 months. It happens from time to time.

Hey buddy, you forgot the part where I won the first MP game I ever played. As Patala. But don't worry! LA Ermor isn't reading the boards, so it will be a few turns before things are resolved! Bask in your theoritical superiority.

And before me was FrankTrollman.

And after me is Argitoth.

Oh, and Tujidy, you are just one Special guy.

I know I have been insulted, but I have no idea how.
