 Is it safe to ask defeated players about their strategies in the thread? |

				 Re: Land Rand (pbem) 
 Lasting till turn 63 playing Machaka is quite a achievement, one of the worst nations in Dom3, especially with no fever fetishes. |

				 Re: Land Rand (pbem) 
 Thanks MB. That's exactly how I feel. Pride in being able to take this nation so far. Machaka is ok for early-mid game and I could even have optimized my build for a better early game by sacrificing any chance for end-game. Didn't do that and somehow managed to do ok with a weak nation until this turn.  
Hehe, I'm more proud of this than in some of the game I won    
Kudos to my enemy/ies esp. to the one/s that have managed to vanquish Machaka. 
 
Looking forward to next Pasha's RAND, hopefully, after getting all the weak nations in previous RANDs I'd get a nation worth a damn    
GL all. |

I guess it's probably better to wait for the end and not take chances.
 
I would like to make one comment though as I think it's harmless. I took misfortune 2 in a few games in a row under CBM. In all I got such crappy luck with lot's of bad events, so much so as to seriously hurt my nations. This game was no exception.  
When the game's over I'd be happy to share my turns. The frequency of bad events should be interesting to observe   
So, lesson learned -I ain't taking more than misfortune 1 with CBM anymore! |

				 Re: Land Rand (pbem) 
 Well mainly I was wondering why you built so many sorceresses. |

				 Re: Land Rand (pbem) 
 why not?    
What's not to like?- cheap, cost effective in research and combat support & survivable to top that. One of the few bright spots in the sad tail of Machaka. If only they were recruit anywhere or, given a +1 E/D pick (+ appropriate increase in cost)... |

				 Re: Land Rand (pbem) 
 Well I guess I don't see why you would recruit them instead of Black Sorcs. |
