The last turn was a bit unpleasent, but atleast I learned the importance of correct troop placement

Anyway, things are still going as planned, or atleast close to that.

Turn 8

Vespur had a nasty accident, back to the lab for him/her. I made a mistake, gave it a militia escort

.

Not much to report for the rest.

Wow this game is going really fast. We are doing about a turn a day.

I agree, and I love it. Now I can see why MP is better than SP, and to get into 2 or 3 games at a time to keep the interest in the game up.

Can't wait for the next turn to start - found a magic site called "casino", hoping to win some gold... though we all know the house always wins.

Turn 8

The province count is as follows: 7 for Machaka; 6 for Arcosephale; 5 for Pangaea; 4 for Pythium, Ermor, and Marignon; and 3 for Man and Jotunheim. Marignon and Machaka found gems.

Yeah shmonk, MP totally rules. I dont even understand anymore why people play SP. One thing to watch out for with MP games tho: as you move into the end-game your turns can sometimes get quite long (an hour or more). So if you have a lot of games all in the end phase you might get overwhlemed. Many MP players play in multiple games but stagger thier involvement. So once they reach late-game in one match, they will enter another match, knowing that the late-game will be over before the new game starts to take up too much time.

Talk about slow turns. I'm travelling now, in a hotel room in Florida, and this laptop I'm using is SOOO slow (all that my work had available to give me). My turns take almost 30 minutes just to completely do and review everything, and watching battles is even longer, even with most graphics turned off.

It's a P2 366mhz, I guess at the extreme minimum requirements for Dom2.

But I can't wait to do more games, and I think I will wait until I return home before starting another MP game, assuming another beginner-type game is starting. I look forward to getting farther into this game also.
