Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
I'll tend to fight on while trying new things plus helping any allies as much as possible.
I think MP Dom3 teaches you how to lose - well, at least they've taught me how to.  Reminds me of the Dwarf Fortress 'Losing is fun' motto. |

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
I totally agree with doncorazon. I have no problem with losing wars, but enemy should prove that he deserves it. I prefer VP games, with VPs at caps, and taking caps can be really really tough job [I still remember that battle in Alexandria ], especially with nice spells researched. Recently I got a sub position for a nation and got into 1:3 war, situation was very good, pretty much lose and go AI after few turns, but as I didn't want to give any free lands I decided to try and fight. After over 10 turns one enemy signed peace and remaining 2 cannot make decisive blows. |

That battle is forever burned into my memory.
Your golem was the first real SC I'd ever encountered.

Agreed! I make it a point to get into as many wars as possible as soon as possible. Much more satisfying to stomp foes as the pile-ee than as a pile-er!
DC, I never asked: how did the Storming of Eriu go in Kingmaker? I remember taking great cares to script as many fireworks as possible in celebration of the Giants' arrival...  |

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
He says he did fix it. He did make a comment at the time of the game about "the never ending game". My large "mercenary" army available to other players was not right in his view.
Too bad. In that game I had arranged with an ally to get a corner province and make a return. But I do see the point about a never ending game. Especially with so many stealth units in the game now.

Re: What do you like to do when you're not dead yet?
When I'm not dead yet, I like to find an unguarded province and move my pretender there. Then he whips out a copy of Dominions3 and starts playing to escape from the brutal reality of it all *sniffle*. Then his pretend pretender does the same thing (only at a speeded-up time rate, 1 month : 10 minutes) until the universe throws a stack exception.
