Default Re: Dominions Player Preffered Playstyles \"Poll\"

> You should once try a lategame maybe Kristoffer it could be fun .

Perhaps, but by then someone would have won the game. No one I know and play with hoards. Actually one does, but everyone knows and tend to attack him as they find it an annoying practice. I would probably not be able to control myself if I tried to hoard. War is more fun than research. To wait one or several months to make war is not very rewarding. I do not have the time to play blitzes. If I must wait one or more days to play my turn I want something interesting to happen. War is the most interesting thing that can happen in Dominions. I'm not likely to ever play a late game Dominions II.

> When you have a gemincome of 500+ gems per turn you can start even completely new strats like successfully using globals like haunted forest .

Globals might be used to good results before that.

> In my current mp game with machaka i planned exactly this , casting a 999 gem haunted forest . I had there the 30% enchantment bonus site so it would have been probably almost undispellable .
I would have bought then 125 pd in every single province and out of a sudden the crappy machaka militia becomes invincible . 567 possible manikins from my pd alone . I would have parked 1 patrolling tartarian in every province also and i guess this "province defence" would have required then extreme effort to be taken out.

As I said, planning for something that will bear fruit in two months time is not my biscuit. To act and respond to unforseen developments is in my opinion more rewarding.
