LA game for new players game is still down

[Griefor]

I'm not sure how balanced or unbalanced the game is, but I do know that the developers of this game don't have balance at the top of their priority list. That's why there's a mod that adds balance to the game.

I also know that for a lasting, high level of play multiplayer experience, good balancing is essential. Just look at the still ongoing success of Starcraft (Blizzard takes balance very seriously) compared to any mass more tanks than your opponent and win RTS from the same decade.

Obviously, at a newbie level of play the balance is going to be different from a high level of play, and it is slightly less important because there is more room to compensate with skill.

if its any interest the first war has started between Bogrus and Caluem, and from this action the Ascendency War has truly begun

[Griefor]

The holy winged warriors of Caelum shall sweep the wretched evil heretics of Bogarus off the face of this world. The justice brought down upon the devil-worshippers shall be fierce and swift.

So speaks the true god, Sophia.

The false god of Caelum has chosen to attack a nation adapt at countering their winged troops, my cavalry's swords shall turn red from the blood of the winged men as my foot solders crush any who survive. Mother Bogarus shall not fall to such a nation

Looking at the score graphs, you seem fairly evenly matched. Bogarus's advantage in quick research vs. Caelum's larger army size and slightly higher income. Bogarus's mages could be the deciding factor here, unless winged assassins can remove them from the field. Good luck to both of you.

Meanwhile, Ermor has yet to encounter anyone. There's a free water gem to the first nation I meet, as a token of brrrrraaaaainns... err, as a token of goodwill. I might have some blood slaves available to any who need them, too.

the problem Caelum has is that their actual troops are very brittle, whilst my main army is composed of cavalry that are very good ranged units, as well as very passable shock troops, that and my god will be able to take out the only unit i have to worry about

[ghostwes]

The other problem is whoever wins this fight will be rightly perceived as a major threat by the rest of us.

[hunt11]

as long as the immediate neighbors are not a threat the victor (hopefully me) will be fine and have a chance to recover

[Griefor]

The problem Bogarus has is that it is at war with Caelum, which is the holy nation that worships the god with the divine birthright to rule the world.

The true god has once again graced you with her presence to share these holy words with you.

am i missing something here , what do you have to back up your victory, i have a decent army of cavalry and a very strong god, and all you have are fragile archers and a couple mamoths, so what do have to back up your words, because as the rulebook says that god is not with the large armies
