New Orania War Scenario game on Mosehansen

[wolfkinsov]

Ok I just took Acro, much better with Man and Marigon but what the heck try something a little different. Mostly played PBM do I just keep checking the server until the game is started?

I'll send a post out here once we start. At this rate, it should be by sometime tomorrow.

Somebody should let poor Cohenn know he's got a game he can join.

how many players are you aiming for miguel? I prefer a bit of space, but maybe you'ld rather have the full complement?

Erm, better? When they're unable to build forts that bring forth their best units? I didn't realize that hybrids were so fantastic...

I mean, I'm sure that you're tired of getting pounded on by tritons, but there's -no- doubt that they're much better in the water where they get their crab hybrids and illithids, as well as the full extent of their water spells.

Maybe I'm wrong. I can admit that. But why do you feel so strongly about something that seems pretty much in contrast to my own experience? ;-)

Mainly it is because of Tritons, which the R'lyeh have no easy answer to... but basically, it works like this: 99% of land provinces have land based units (suprise!). That is great for R'lyeh, since the slower the oponent is, the more likely he is to be paralyzed by the time your land units face him...

Cavalry can be slightly tough, but not really a big deal.

Try Triton Shark Knights. Who wins? All of a sudden, those indie provinces with knights seem like complete "cake"... and they are.

Nah. I'm shooting for 12. Basically, I start game within an hour of getting the 12th player. If we get up to 14 or whatever in that time, fine. Otherwise, we go with what we've got.

*shrug* I'm never all that scared by Tritons to be honest. Placing a big enough contingent of Lobos around your illithid makes it hard for the tritons to get to the center.

Frankly, going to land too early imo puts R'lyeh at a huge disadvantage as it's overextended against a number of foes that want to see it dead, dead, dead. Reinforcements take too long coming unless your capital is right next to that part of the landmass, in which case you've got another set of problems. I tend to find that it's better to consolidate the water, eliminate Atlantis if necessary, Voice of Tiamat/Akashic Record out ALL the gems in the ocean and then wait and build. Don't come to land before you need to.

But others might put more stock in the zergling rush.
