shard, me thinks that is not accurate. i was at war with abysia when you attacked me-i didn't threaten you!

I was talking about things like that:

Parone: You will win. With my massive research curve I have just researched Evocation Level 28: Nuclear weapons. I am about to have my mages cast it, destroying all people and turning them into skeletons and a wasteland. You being far from me will be only survivor.

Of course a wasteland with just skeletons is right up Bone Daddy's alley. Well, on to plan B.

[parone]

i was actually counting on you researching nukes. built my whole grand strategy around it!

shard-while that is obviously a post by me, i still don't understand it! if lazarus was dead(and we all know he died A LOT in this game) how could i plan to kill you with him? it seems a laughable idea now, alive or dead, as he may have proved to be one of the least formidable SCs in the history of dominions.

[Shardphoenix]

And like I Said before the map really helped me early.

Starting on a barren rock was REALLY painful. I had 2 good provinces from my initial expansion, all others had like 1-2k pop.

[Shardphoenix]

and we all know he died A LOT in this game

Don`t overestimate. Like 5 times only... Maybe even less.

if lazarus was dead(and we all know he died A LOT in this game) how could i plan to kill you with him?

I think, you meant "is going to die in the near future". And he was quite nice, actually (esp. with all the snakes). But you need to work on your equipment/buff strategy.

[parone]

yeah. true. not only can i not kill SCs, i can't make em either. i reread the posts(what fun!) and you are right-he wasn't dead, it was just the general opinion that he'd BE dead soon.

[Shardphoenix]

In fact, later attempts were much better.

Population? What's that?

Bone Daddy ghoulified his remaining population from his heartland to man his fortresses and prevent the nasty space monsters (R'leyh) from casting imprint souls on us.

I'd suggest Holy Hand Grenades.

It is possible to limit the effects of that problems with very careful map design, but it is not a trivial.

Another major factor was that we had a few people go AI earlier than they should have in my view, which didn't help the cause of the living. I'm sure Midgard and R'lyeh had legitimate reasons, but they could have really slowed me down if they were managed by a person. Even as an AI they each managed to wipe a large army -- and I'm still haven't taken Midgard's capitol yet.
