Eerm... Have you read this thread? (or did you reply to the wrong one?) The game has been underway for quite some time, and we're currently deep into endgame.

I think it's a bit late to join.

Haha, yeah I noticed. sorry

I got sort of excited and jumped on it. Heh heh. I'll lurk and wait for next game

Or maybe start a thread of my own. Ooh!

No problem. There's worse things to get excited about than dominions.

Of course, my imaginary girlfriend tells me there's better things to get excited about too. But then, if she starts nagging me too much I just un-imagine her, so she knows not too push too hard.

Janlm got in one more turn than I thought. (or I postponed a turn too soon, depending on your point of view.

) In either case, his turn is in, so we're now only waiting for Ermor's turn. Not that there's any particular rush or anything. If you're using the delay to catch a much needed breather, be my guest.

I am indeed. After a rather nasty demonstration of the late-game power of blood magic, the delay is quite good for me to think about what I want to do.

Demonstration? What demonstration? *whistles innocently*

I was afraid of the late-game power of astral magic (communions, master enslave) myself, so I decided the best way to deal with you was to avoid large army vs army battles, except those on my terms. Massive raiding of your territory seemed to be a good way to accomplish this. Your PD raising campaign from the last few turns required me to use more resources/province than I hoped to have to use, but on the other hand it obviously did cost you a lot of gold, so I'm not sure if it was in your advantage or not. I have to say I'm curious to see what your responce will be.

Not that providing my enemy an insight into my strategic thinking necessarily is the smartest thing to do or anything... but making a bit of conversation spices up the thread, right?

Heh, my "response" is fairly lukewarm. Although i've managed to get good enough at Dom3 that I generally can survive to the late game, I find that i'm not terribly great at this aspect of the game... Tarts are all well and good, but there's only so much one can do with them. And i do not have the meticulous preparation that you do (how many MR 29 demons can one person have????).

I would also say that Arga Dis is a bit gross - although you have also played them very well. Earth and blood is a nasty combo - blood stones, easy hammers, the late power of blood... and you seem to have found a loremaster site, which I imagine is rather helpful. Im rather amused by the fact that you can spam ghost riders more than I can.

Anyhow, my hat goes off to you... I shall continue to fight, but it looks rather bad for me.

Could we move to 72 hours, by any chance? Im in several games, and it takes me a bit on my turns in Uakari. Dying gracefully is difficult =)
