How many games have you played or playing, Mathusalem? This is supposed to be for new players and you've been around since '05. hehe

If Fickle of Fomoria misses a turn at this stage of the game, he probably ought to be set to AI control. This is because he has never posted once here beyond his initial signup notice, and has in fact ceased answering any ingame or private messages at all over the course of the last few turns.

It's far from an ideal solution, but it's not fair to everyone else, and not very classy to 'give up' just because you're in a bad position. This is especially true when victory conditions for the map are only 7 of 15 capitals. Also, low (to no) participation on the forum thread is a real downer for those of us who try quite hard to keep the game entertaining, fast-paced and full of character.

In other words, speak out, put out, and don't puss out!

Any seats left? I've played through the tutorial and read through the manual, so I'm not very experienced with Dominions but I do have a lot of experience with other 4X games and heavy strategy board games.

Argh, waiting on Fomoria again... I find myself so excited to play a turn right away that I can feel every little delay now!

I'd just like to state for the record that I'm glad to read anything that anyone in the game has to say, no matter how insignificant or silly it might seem. Don't keep it all in for fear of sounding foolish. We're all new here; let's all get to know each other as players while we can!

And I hope that if anyone has game mechanics related questions, we can all help answer it here as well.

I just recently discovered that bad omen events decrease the Luck scale of a province by 2. Tricky!

I'm pretty sure we still have 12, so yeah, I think you can get in. I just hope you choose a water nation, I'd hate to rule the seas alone from the start.

Sign me up for whatever nation is available. Like I said, I've only played one single player game so I don't really know the nations yet.

Well, if we give him Atlantis, he could hold R'lyeh in check for sure... they'd be battling for their lives in there.

Which sounds better Char, Atlantis or Oceania? We do have an Agartha AND Fomoria so there's two amphibious nations that could possibly slow R'yleh's water expansion...

So it's not even totally necessary that he choose a pure water nation. Up to you, Char, any nation you like.

I think he should be allowed to pick whatever nation he wants, but from my understand, Oceania kinda sucks against Atlantis or R'lyeh underwater.
