Sorry this game is already up and running, so unless someone wants to drop out and take a sub, there' no way to add.

Edit: SO, does this mean, msew, that you are hooked on MP Dominions2?

Personally, I've been hoping to jump on to another game also - just waiting for one that doesn't say "experienced players" in the title.

yup looking for another game too

Hehe. I'm possibly looking for a new game too, since my Pandemonium2 game isn't going too well. And this time we'll exclude Boron, being the expert player that he is. No offence, Boron.

And I want a bigger map too!

Turn 10 is up.

And I enjoyed the "Battle of the Danes" charts so much I'm going to do one here.

That Battle of the Danes thread was excellent - the annotated screen grabs of battles were particularly entertaining.

As for our game, thank you Deccan for pointing out the obvious If you all don't get off your duffs pretty soon, the Moloch will rule the world! Actually, the key to my expansion is not the fact that I've lost the imps, but rather that luck-draining ability that Graeme added in his mod (did I forget to mention that before we started?). This of course explains the absolutely horrid luck experienced by Boron and Deccan with their early lab explosions.

But anyhow - what's going on in this game - I've never seen such a slow expansion! I understand two players lost their labs, but even so, I'd guess that should cost no more than one turn in expansion rate. Boron, you've probably seen more MP than I have, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that one of the things that veterans are able to do consistently is to put together an indy-crushing army from anywhere from turn 3-4, or maybe turn 5 at the latest. Then, if they've got an SC pretender, they can occasionaly get 2 provinces per turn.

uhm if it happens on turn 3 and you have to save your money for the damn lab it declares the slow expansion rate .
IF your sc pretender searches the province he gets 1 province per 2 turns .

i took a very experimental pretenderdesign so i have little money for an expansion army . if i hadn't had my labblow i had now 1 province more but it doesn't matter really since i just didn't plan to even grab a province with troops i will though hopefully make up for it later by a keymagic
and taking away provinces from a neighbor has some appeal too

iirc we have indies 9 there expansion without sc is not sooo easy . you are doing great though with your abysia

oh btw i found out that protection 15 is not enough against knights lance attacks

I wouldn't worry too much about Boron's expertise - the newbie's answer to the experienced player is diplomacy (i.e. just gang up on him! ).

I would love to play a 17 player game on Orania, although I think there's little hope of getting a noob game of that size going. One thing to watch out for though, the vetarans warned me before starting this game that games on big maps often bog down into massive MM, which is not necessarily the best way for a new player to learn/enjoy MP play in Dom2.

Lex,

Could you tell us your Battlefield ID? And, Boron, aren't you already registered on the Battlefield?

For everyone else that's not registered yet, it takes about 2 minutes, and it would be helpful for those of us that are interested in the ladder, here's the Battlefield URLs again:

we start probably soon a new game too since our newbiegame 2 from aku seems to go to an end too
so perhaps you could participate there too thufir
i guess 1-2 additional players don't hurt but make things even nicer there too


i personally like karan quite a lot for 10-12 players at which we should aim .

if i am not excluded in your new game i claim SG ermor for that one
oh and i would like to play this with patch 2.13 cause i like the burning pearl nerf
