Looking for other players from Moscow or Russia - Page 4

So far I think I prefer sp, honestly. Intelligent opponents are nice, but turns are too slow. I'm used to sitting down with a game and playing for several hours and trying to play whenever everyone else finishes their turns is very strange to me. I've also not got the greatest memory in the world, so long periods of time not looking at what I'm doing tend to make me completely forget what my strategy was.

I'm also not honestly a very competitive person, which just goes to show how much sense I have playing a game like dominions.

Then Dom SP is perfect for you. I might also suggest Galactic Civilations.

I tried the demo for galactic civiliations 2 at one point. Unfortunately if I recall said demo was quite limited. It reminded me of Space Empires IV, but with less customization. Actually the demo for SEIV is how I came to find Dominions.

Well you're doing quite well in the warhammerama game. Sorry to hear it's a bit slow for you though.

Hehe, thanks sombre

It's not boring or anything, I'm enjoying my little quest to somehow manage to wipe you out. You're proving to be a pretty frustrating opponent, I was convinced the ogres would be my easiest nation to fight but you seem to have a bit better handle on them than my practice opponent did. I actually am a bit burnt out on sp at the moment, I played like mad for a week before we started warhammerama and had been playing several large games already around that time. So in any case I'm enjoying the mp bit more than I am sp right now, it's just easier for me to enjoy sp because I have too much free time.

And hey, I'm in for the next warhammer themed game too. Next time I'd like to try one of your nations. Hopefully the greenskins will be out by then. This one could last a while if llama doesn't domkill me.

Haha, thanks. I've had more practice with Ogres than anyone I guess, but I've still made some bad mistakes. I should have gone for a rainbow sage pretender, I just find it a little boring. You're right that they don't match up well against tomb kings, especially with that bless you have, and in fact a lot of matchups will present them problems. That's why they're getting something of an upgrade soon.

I think the next warhammer game is likely to have the same 4 nations still (with some upgrades and tweaks) because I'm sure I'll want to play another one right after this one.

But if I had to guess what the next nation to actually be completed would be,... to be honest it might well be Chaos Dwarfs. If I actually got off my butt and did some work on them, they could be completed very swiftly indeed, unlike Empire, though I could theoretically get them out as a beta in reasonable time.

I'm not sure where Okin is with the greenies though. He might have secretly done loads and be able to release them soon.

I certainly would have hated to be any other player in that game and have to fight you though. You have the power to take out the lizards and the survivability to allow the skavens to destroy their own army for you. If you had been fighting anyone else I think you'd be well on the way to winning right now. And I would probably be dead. As it is I seem just have the power to effectively stalemate you in a series of very bloody (well, on your end) and costly battles. I think I've made a good few mistakes too... hiring all those watchers being one of them, as I was completely bankrupt for a few turns until you destroyed my main army. I actually couldn't recruit commanders for ~3 turns. The paralyze darts are pretty nice but they keep getting wasted on your chafflings.

I have a feeling those new ogre summons of yours are going to be a real terror to face. It should be great, yet terrifying.

Chaos Dwarfs could be fun. I can't seem to find the thread though. Happen to have a link handy? It would be very nice to have another nation playable for the next game, with the current list it's almost too easy to get a winner as it is quite likely to be the nation that wins its first war. Anyway, here's to hoping.

Chaos Dwarfs don't have a thread because I haven't done a lick of work on them. It's just that I could probably whip up their nation the fastest, due to their low number of units. They're a favourite of mine too.

Empire has a thread and there are a few sprites on display there, but they're quite a way from being at beta stage, let alone finished. So although I've done no work on the chaos dwarfs at all, they're closer than the empire ;]

That would explain it....

Way to dash our hopes, ich :P
