Now I see why most LA games don't allow Ermor. You get 0 income for the cities you take. So even if you are beating Ermor, you are a sitting duck, and will be wiped out by another nation.

Yep. LA R'lyeh presents the same drawbacks. BTW, if you start a LA game as a neighbourg of LA Ermor or R'lyeh, you will have to fight against their dominion & their military expansion without any chance to gain anything in return (if you win ^^). Unless you act as Marignon does. And not all nations can do it.

Gamebreaker, IMHO.

I confess I was reluctant to play this game since it allowed both. I tried my chance just because I was missing a MP Dom3 game at the moment, and I have been #very# lucky to start so far from both. But AMOF, I tend to avoid any LA + (Ermor || R'lyeh) game.

In this particular game Marignon is the one to beat and Ermor rates only a small concern, esp. for Marignon. If they dom kill me in the next few turns they have the game for sure. TC has a decent chance as well. Thanks for the education Kheldron!

Well that's a lot of "ifs" and I'm afraid that I'm not so confident. When you realize that your (so close) dominion survives even now as I'm doing my best, you know that this particular strategy won't get me anywhere against the others.

At the same time, I believe that TC at least doesn't feel like he's a challenger. Everything indicates he's the leader and will give us a wide berch in the next turns.

I must confess I never really felt that threatened by Rlyeh or Ermor though

Hmm, once you beat Gath whose dom score is merely 12 your gold and gem income will be doubled and you will be the unquestionable No.1 in the game, so it's too early to call me a leader...

IMHO it'll be a war between regular troops and angels/archdevils

. If we were playing with CBM1.5 or earlier I think I have virtually no chance at all, but now I'll try my best

See you Pyg. That was really a tough and fun fight
