Sent my pretender in.

It just occurred to me that I've been suggesting people take a look at strategy guides. That's a good idea but it's important to keep in mind that most of them were written before CBM 1.6 removed gem generators from the game (clams, bloodstones, fever fetishes) and may recommend focusing on them. So keep that in mind when planning your strategy.

Duncan_Frost you may have already realized this but in case you haven't, be careful what pretender you choose. C'tis has pretenders available that are not immune to its own miasma.

@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.

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.

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.

Y'know, I completely forgot that. The poison-immunity ring (Snake Ring?) would prevent that, right?

No, it won't. IIRC swamp survival is the key thing (or being undead, demon, and I think lifeless).

Edit (from Executor's guide):

"Although MA C’tis has a variety of pretender to choose, half of them are useless.
They can only use lifeless, cold blooded and swamp survival pretenders."

So it looks like the cold blooded tag will also protect you. But I'd run a test to make sure. Also, undead and demon should be fine as well.

I think I might be in a different timezone to everyone else, all the turns had been done by the time I sent mine in...

Second turn unrest at capitol: 29. Love those unrest events... fffffuuuu (and I only took misfortune 1 just to prevent this).

Ah well, at least the neighboring indies are easy to conquer.

Greetings from the cold north everyone. Hope your starts are better than mine. (of course that is a lie, I wish you all turn 1 knight attacks ).
