He is the SOYWEISER.

Do not embark on the vain quest to understand those which is beyond your feeble reach, know your place.

It is a safe bet that any accomplished MP player has read the entire manual, possibly skipping the spell and item appendices if he's a Dom 2 veteran and feeling really sure of himself.

...and that many have not merely read the entire manual, but memorized it, making them living encyclopaedias. I know I did. The manual contains lots of errors and omissions, but it is remains even now, years after the game's release, the best place to learn the fundamentals of the game mechanics.

Diplomacy and intrigue can only carry you so far when you are up against real opposition; to consistently do well you need to know how the game works.

I think "killing them" was for globals.

Kill the caster, the global goes away. Often tricky without just destroying the nation.

Yeah, I meant killing the global casters, or for example with the armada you dispel the global if you defeat it in combat.

Depending on the global and the nation, you can sometimes fire off a bunch of remote attack spells and hope you get lucky. For instance, hitting every fortress with a bunch of Mind Hunts can go surprisingly far for a nation with no astral, particularly if you can heal anyone who gets feebleminded. If dealing with a human nation, Earth Attack can go surprisingly far. So on and so forth.

Come on people, a user named question asking constant questions that are in the manual? Looks a bit like a troll to me.

All this questioning does bring a question to mind, why can't I fit more than one Joton Herse in a square, yet I can fit 6 Holburgs in a square?

It's probably your monitor resolution. Try a different graphics mode!
