MP Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Game Over. Noobs Triumph! - Page 17

Yeah I will happily be an alternate. Team games mean that even if a player loses tons of ground and sees the end coming, they can still help their team (and thus can still "win"). If someone is getting their rear end handed to them, fails the morale check, and routs from the game, I will step in and fight until the bitter, bitter end. I just don't have all the time to do the prep and nation tests that are needed in a team game like this.

(Hint to new players: Test your initial expansion strategy in single player first. Make sure you can get 20 provinces to your name by turn 10 or try again.)

TheDemon · #**162** June 12th, 2009, 07:49 PM

20 isn't easy, but 15 is definitely an acceptable new player benchmark.

Hello Rdonj, can you enable me for the noob forums ? thanks

also clearly in MA first pick is ashdod so if your going to give me some sort of preferential treatment i'll take ashdod

You guys (returning alternates) get uncontested first pick. I was gonna give the vet alternate the first choice but decided against it. First come first serve. Who ever posts first when we begin the nation selection phase gets it. Plain and simple.

Gandalf, sorry to hear that.

Stretch, your in as a noob alternate.

I can be a Vet or Vet alternate, whichever is needed.

Although, as I never played dominions 1 and didn't start playing dominions 2 until a year or so before dom 3 came out, I hardly think I really count as a veteran.

Lingchih · #**166** June 13th, 2009, 12:16 AM

Sorry, been out of touch since my electricity has been out for three days now due to strong thunderstorms. I am, as always, willing to take any nation. And I will play again, though I think the game is a bit superfluous.

Young people these days count someone who got into playing Dominions like 2007 as a veteran. Madness, but what can you do.

In all seriousness, some people learn really fast, other take years to get a clue. Dunno whether that word should be ever used for qualifying purposes. Unless doing it like in fencing, where veteran series includes everyone of age over 20 or so.

Vet forum needs also people in.

Skinu, you're already in. Make sure if you can see Team Noob Strategic Command.

Baalz · #**169** June 13th, 2009, 10:34 AM

I will play a nation picked by the Newbs - what do you guys want a demonstration of? Except MA Oceana, I hate MA Oceana. T'ien Ch'i might be good, I was considering writing a guide for them.

rdonj · #**170** June 13th, 2009, 10:43 AM

Hmm, well not all of the noobs have given nation picks yet so it would be hard to say at this point. As far as nations you've written guides for go, I think Bandar Log would be fun.

T'ien Ch'i could be good also, and they don't seem too popular with the noobs at the moment.
