Boot Camp - Finished - Soyweiser/Jotunheim wins!

@DragonRider - I wouldn't worry too much about not knowing how to use everything. I know what Thugs, SC and communions are, for example but all my attempt to use them have failed so far. Hopefully this game will provide the chance to get it right or see someone get it right and be able to learn from that for another game.

So keep that in mind when planning your strategy.

I got really confused about the clam economy a lot of guide mention and had to ask about them in IRC. Reminded me of Cottage Economy from Civ4 from some reason.


It's very early morning here so I'll send my pretender in after I wake up and do a quick test. I have a good idea about it but I want to quickly run through a SP game to make sure I'm not making any massive mistake like too low dominion.

[DragonRider]

Well, my Pretender is as ready as she's going to get. I should be good to go, assuming I understand Llamaserver correctly.

I noticed that not all of you have private messaging enabled. Most diplomacy in dominions tends to be done either by: private messaging, email, and IRC. Private messages are not enabled by default, and if you want them allowed you'll have to go to your user cp, click options in the drop down menu, and that'll bring up the page with private messaging options on it.

Dragonrider... your name is familiar. Have you ever posted pictures of yourself involving a pole and a trenchcoat?

That sounds...vague. And disturbing. But no, I've never posted pictures of myself in any context.

PMing should be enabled for me now, by the way. I meant to do it immediately after making my account, but you can't access the options screen until the account is verified, and after the twelve hours that took I had forgotten.

[rdonj]

Sorry, I was being purposely vague so as not to give either of us away if it turned out I did know you. But I guess not!

[Soyweiser]

Wow, what a suboptimal starting location. And my first turn is away.

[DragonRider]

Marignon's first turn is locked in. I wound up making some last-minute adjustments to my original plan...hopefully they won't haunt me later.

Only two left now. Will the next turn host early if all the turns come in before the deadline, or will it wait until the last minute either way?

Hmm, I think I know where you are. Well, on the bright side it's a chance to work on your diplomacy skills?
