Oceania likes to fester, which is going to be hard with both of the other water nations in your cage match of death.

Your best bet is to convince either Atlantis or R'lyeh to ally with you against the other - probably Atlantis. Everyone hates R'lyeh.

The Knight of the Deeps is weaker than the Living Pillar, costs more, and can't go on land. Not a joyous situation to be in. Costs relatively few resources, though. OTOH, you're not going to care about land for a while (you're going to be too busy turning the oceans red), and you can recruit the Knight at all forts, so maybe a strong bless would let you survive.

Assuming you do live, you get water magic coming out of your *ears*, and 1s in nature and the other elements. So you'd kinda like a nature/fire/earth/air god.

As a water position, you don't care much about temperature, so take 3 levels of it, whichever you feel like.

You could go the SC route: an awake Kraken with 4F4E4N, Order 3, Sloth 1, Cold or Heat 3, Misfortune 2, Magic 1, Domstr 6. Get enchantment: 2 and alteration: 2 quickly, and your God can hold off essentially any force, at least inside your dominion - he casts personal regeneration and stoneskin and then eats everyone.

You could go the strong bless route: Imprisoned Lord of the Waves with 9W9E, Order 3, Sloth 3, Cold or Heat 3, Misfortune 2, Magic 1, Domstr 8.

Good luck.

I sent a second Pretender now, seej. Sorry about this, but I was convinced that my old ways (from Dominions 1) aren't exactly the best in this game anymore. ;p

How many people have sent their Pretenders in now that the 34 hour time has gone past? I hope everyone, cuz at least I'm itching to see what kind of a place I'm gonna start from!

Niefelheim - Vathmoth didn't get me a pretender by this morning, so I ran without him. The remaining 19 of us should now have our turns in our email inboxes. I have already sent the maps out and the game name (the directory name) is: Boil_the_Ocean

If there any problems, email me please.

Deadline is 24 hours from now - 9:30AM EST
