Time to play - Page 2

Hey All,
First off out of respect for this forum, and any other i used to frequent, i do not elaborate any on Football or the like. After all, this is a game forum and i come here to escape my aches and pains and my family

.I am nobody famous,ever since i played in college they called me "The Hammer", it's even tattooed a few places among other grim abominations

. I have NO feelings on the sorry state of the NFL of late...panzies

. Anyhow to the sleep question: Yes, i can sleep for 12 hours easy if i've been really active and have no plans for the day. On the other hand, like my son, when i'm awake i'm like a tornado

...go figure. Very intense i guess

The bigger you are the slower your engine takes to warm up but once it's up there's no stopping it! I love this game, and that is where i play "now"

Lord Hammer,

Thanks for answering the sleep question and no worries about keeping football where it belongs, on the field. It is interesting what you say about you and your son being tornados, that is just the way my cousin’s husband was. Either all on or all off! I think this may have been mentioned at the divorce…

Back to the issue of playing time in Dominions, I sat down Last night and looked at my game. I realized that I was going to win, so I jumped quickly through a couple of turns just to see a few things. There was a Crystal Castle which I wanted to capture, just to see what was inside. I also wanted to see my Siege Golum in action. Then, I sat down and started thinking about what new race I wanted to try out, I was not going to get a lot more out of the old game. Maybe I just need to do this earlier than I used to.

As for the new race, time to try the water lovers, it will be a big change.

Saxon,
@your cousin's divorce

You slow down a "little" after 40, my ex-wife is also my new wife and the mother of our two kids

. I've been working on Ulm as of late, really kicked butt...but...i'm tired of using Earth and Death summons to rule the battlefield so i'm experimenting with the Moloch Fire 10. He's a great Combat pretender but i can't amass a big enough army against C'tis to expand more than a 1/3 of the map

. I win every battle with my Iron Faith Sacred Cavalry and "Lord Hammer" the Moloch but...this game is so addictive! Out of guilt, i suppose

, i've been playing more with the kids at night...tackle football in the back yard. Don't worry, i don't play TOO hard

.People always say "Wow, for a big guy you sure can move"

.

We need a patch to solve the balance issue between Dominions 2 and my wife!

To solve the balance issues between my hobby addiction (computers) and my wife, I got her interested in computers.

But I dont think that will work this time. If I got her interested in Dominions I would LOSE!
OFTEN!
And way too quickly!

I tried the “get the girlfriend interesting in computers” trick and it worked… I ended up playing a lot of multiplayer Diablo as a Paladin, while she was an archer Amazon. That meant I got to wade into the melee and get pounded while she stood back safely and fired arrows into the mix. Even in computer games I get the dirty jobs! Also popular was sneaking up behind me in Half Life with a crowbar… She never did go for single player games, but as I have a LAN at home, the multiplayer option worked out pretty well for us. Shame the relationship didn’t work out as well. The new one is a journalist and thinks computers are for working, so I have to start the enlightenment process all over again.

Computers for working?

Who would of thought

.I hear there are a lot of good paying jobs as a "game" journalist

Hah!

My girlfriend is almost as much into computer games as I am (just stretching things a bit), only mostly not the same games. She's owned a PC for almost as long as I have, way before we managed to move in together - now of course we have a LAN, even though we haven't managed to play something together. Pity she's not into wargames or strategy games, though.

And I'm the one who works with computers. Just not too much at home.
