this was a bummer...

More importantly, one S3 mage automatically *feebleminds* all mindhunts directed at the province, S2 does so like 90% of the time, and S1 still hits ~half.

Anyway, there's a huge diversity of games at dom3mods, with tons of mod nation games, random nations, barebones nations with great sites, and so forth. Modding is still alive and well, and to pretend all games are the same necessarily suggests the claimant hasn't actually played much recently.

Gandalf, if you want to make claims about the dom3 community, you need to actually participate in it by *playing games*.

HAHAHA

First off, Id say that hosting many of the non-menued games would suffice in knowing what is being tried in that regard. Not nearly enough for my preference so, yes I agree with the original poster.

Secondly, you make assumptions that I dont play.

Thirdly, and most importantly for my laughter, you mention EXCELLENT game variations. Modded nations, random nations, barebones, and modding. Thank you for the wonderful examples of creative Dom3 games on the Dom3Mods forum (which are not on this forum). I could also list such variations on other forums (not on this forum). So are you suggesting that if the original poster wants to find some variation in the Dom3 games being played that he should maybe visit other Dom3 communities on other forums?
Thank you.

So your hypothesis is that the developers accidentally put in separate playing styles for every nation?

if you learn how to read you should read

The "feature" you say its unintended by the devs.

Feature is singular (one) not EVERY feature the game has. That would be plural "all featureS"
As I said READ before you write.
"tongue is faster than the brain"

The point in Arco Mind hunt is that you dont care if your mage goes feebleminded. You just heal him/her while other mahe uses his/her items to continuely mind hunt everywhere. If you put 1 astral mage everywhere you are spending more than I am. And i can mind hunt other player. (maybe for a price, paid by the enemy of that player)

The irony of this statement speaks for itself. Moreover, if your argument is predicated on a nation being cheap because they can do something other nations cannot do, and every nation has something like that - which they do - you cannot claim that that feature was unintended without the exact same logic putting forth the same conclusion for all nations.

I was going to argue what you just said but you said before

Take Vanheim - domes pretty much close that strategy entirely.

It shows teorize vs practice. I hope you luck building a lab in every province and casting a dome everywhere. Cheap strategy there. sorry.
I better stick to the old plan of retaking provinces vanheim just stole with a common commander and few troops vs the pd 1 he just left.
