Default Re: MP Game - New Mosehansen Game - hard_slog

Yeah, one should keep their mouth closed and have people suspect you as a fool instead of opening it and proving it like I did.

Obviously, I am a rank newbie. But what I actually said is that no pretender OUGHT to be able to kill level 5s and above striaght out of the box. The VQ is just one of many such problems against this obviously wistful notion.

When I first started playing SP in this game, one of the best features I found was that you had to get lots of varied commanders and troops to do anything useful. It was as far removed from Heroes of Might and Magic as it could be. The HMM series was all about creating the ultimate power hero. Dominions was a pleasant change from that.

But then I get on line and discover that Dom2 is all about getting the ultimate SC. The fact that ANY super commander can take the highest level of indy all alone without breaking a sweat is simply a sign of this problem. Level 20 indys? Level 30? Level 100??? How high would it need to go to stop this from happening?

I should talk, for my god is actually #1 in the HOF. But I am too ignorant and/or chicken to send him in alone. So I have been losing troops taking the powerful indys. And will continue to do so, for I am surrounded by knights and heavy calvary and dark vines other such toughies.

I suspect the truth of the matter is that I do not know all that much about the deep secrets in this game. And it obviously has a steep learning curve, as do ALL complicated games.

But it sure is fun and addicting! The fact that I have about a 0.01% chance of winning this game does not bother me in the slightest. It will be an enjoyable experience and I will go down fighting to the bitter end.
