Did just a forum search, looking for any tidbits on playing my nation, and... can I get an extra starting gold piece for each post by DrP implying MA Agartha sucks? Consider it a motivational pat on the head for the soon to be extinct race. 
At least I might get lucky and get ignored in the initial fray. 
...uh, should be reading for the investment theory exam that's due in 10 hours, but... Dominions series, some things were not meant to be experienced by mere men. |

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
My biggest surprises:
EvilHomer got R'lyeh with no one contesting him.
MA Vanheim wasn't anyone's inital pick.
So many people went for Sauromtia (are they that good?)

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
I must admit my absolute greed for gold early, mid, and late game. And the nation I got randomly picked for will play well into what I want to do.

On the one hand I'm sorry I didn't get my pick, on the other I'm happy the man-flaying amazons get some of the love they deserve but have been lacking in the forums.
Poison composite bows, decent cavalry, magic paths facilitating summoning troops you can use with hydras (unlike other hydra nations). Ability to handle death scale (ND young mages), misfortune (bad event avoiding units), not overly resource-intensive.
And they eat their opponents. Or flay them.

He was snuffed in Manaburn. Isn't Abysia supposed to be weak?
Yes, yes, I know.

My goal is to simply not be the first one knocked out.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
Id have shot for ea pangaea, ma pangaea, ea ulm, basically any nation that has lots of stealth since this is a good game for using those tactics.
But I think people need to hold off on the notion of weak nation and power nation. Those concepts tend to be particular to the game setup such as small maps and few players. This game is new territory. Altho I was surprised that some people didnt jump in to prove some of their favorite claims about imbalances in the game.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
Wow, I got a nation I've never played before (randomly). This should be educational. Or not, who knows.

That's basicly the ultimate compliment, when people brag about winning a game against you. 
I (and I'm guessing Jurri too) avoided this game both because it's bound to be a total micromangement nightmare for people who really like to optimize, and because the unit limit is likely to mess it up. |
