Amoscalypse Now - FFA Mod game (1 spot is open!)

[Sombre]

Morky: Juzza already made a mod based on the steampunk themed game Arcanum, called Tarent I believe.

If we wait for the patch, it could end up taking months. Better to just start and deal with the patch when it arrives and probably breaks all the mods again :]

Guys, if you can wait for two weeks, I will join with Sylvania. Yes, I know
it is not in the same weight class as the rest of the mods, but surely there is
a place of a nation of peaceful, shy forest dwellers who are open to trade?

Friends with everyone, too useful to destroy, and great scouts. I want to have a
front seat to observe the epic battles between the big boys...

[Sombre]

I think we have enough people already and Sylvania would just get flattened horribly. No point in trading with them if you can just splatter all their armies and grab their lands.

There are also issues with graphics and descriptions if you have too many mod nations at once.

[Tuidjy]

No worries. The graphics issue is an important one. But I dare say that weak
nations led by a supercombatant can surprise anyone ;-)

Sounds designed as a perfect ally for some armor-heavy nation

But Im guessing there is a reason Sombre came up with the name Amos calypse.
Since those are balaced to each other, but imbalanced for vanilla Dom3 nations, they tend to be better for use as AI's or for playing against each other.

Eh,.. I don't think you quite appreciate what you're dealing with here. Let's say you took a SC wyrm as your pretender, gave him dom 10, magic for buffs etc. Pretty nasty shock for someone in the early game, right? And you'd be able to take at least ok scales.

Well, let's look a potential build from me. The pretender for my chosen nation, Stigian Corruption, has 4 armour negating attacks all with the secondary effect of soul slay. He is also ethereal, H4, immortal, stealthy,.. that's before buffs. I can also build units (units, not commanders) with two soul slay effect melee attacks and defence 37 out of the box. Did I mention they're sacred and cost only one resource? Not that it would matter, because I get 60 free resources a turn from a site in my cap. The site also gives me 6 astral pearls by the way :]

Vanilla SC pretenders aren't exactly worrying.

But why lay all that out at the beginning of the game hwen you are trying to get people to join? Its very nice of you, but kindof counter productive.
