Hilarious R'lyeh Dreamlands moment (SPOILER)

[Nerfix]

I'll try to play Apo as background music for Dom 3 sometime. Some of their songs are too fast and metally to be anything else than a battle theme but they have also more ambient works. They also have made their own version of Hall of the Mountain King which is a classic.

But ah, this is getting off topic. But I just try to promote Apocalyptica since I enjoy the band's music greatly. Kinda like I try to promoto Dominions series to other people.

And then I have to apologize to them when I start to ramble about Basalt Kings. BASALT KINGS!

Interesting.

Y'know, my warped mind is wondering whether it's still possible to have multiple prophets through either Enslave Mind + Gift of Reason, or Hellbind Heart -- if memory serves, the prophet flag was not cleared by such spells in Dom II.
...

Yes, it was possible, but only to insane players such as Nagot Gick Fell or such !

Speaking of Metallica, music and Dominions...a finnish band called Apocalyptica is worth checking out. Lots of Metallica covers...played with...cellos! It's wonderful stuff, one of my favorite bands. Their version of Nothing Else Matter is the most beatiful song I've ever heard.

Absolutely true. And shows that Metallica have (had?) pretty good music, too - it's not just played loud and fast.

Bad fate would befall me if I said "if it weren't play too loud and fast", right? I'm listening to wha tI think is it right now, with a strangest search result ever. A page with nothing to do with Metallica or Apocalyptica, that plays some kind of cello music in the background, and which turned up in a search for 'apocalyptica "nothing else matters"'. Eh?

It is very nice, I have to admit.

Hm I never heard about Apocalyptica. However I prefer dance music, and as I see this is a metal band.

If you want thematic music, there's always the Cthulhu Carols sung by members of the HP Lovecraft Historical Society.

I sent a copy of their "A Very Scary Solstice" to my sister one Christmas. It's possible that she's forgiven me for that by now, but my sending "Alien" for her birthday probably didn't help.

I just got D3 today, now I have to sit and work while looking at the desktop icon for 8 hours or so.

Of course I had to install it and start up a game to make sure it works... looks great, already have a Kraken (named C'Thulu, of course) slumbering in the deeps waiting for my labors to end.

The goal for the first game is to have the kingdom self-implode in chaos and insanity. I'll consider that a victory.

To get this thread back to its tracks:

Taqwus, thanks SO much for that link. I've seen the cd's on a shop once but didn't like their unprofessional looks; oh, what I've missed! I'm buying this whenever I can. In the meantime, listen to a msemerizing song of horrors! "Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning, bode a returning season of doom"

Here's another, shorter one. The style in these is just unbelievable. The singers are great, although they pronounce few words funnily Kathulu and Fong Re Lay? But... "oh, tidings of madness and woe, madness and woe, oh tidings of madness and woe (and great woe)..."

EDIT: I see that Livejournal cares not for the image-linking. Well, you can follow the URLs for the moment. Again with the too tired and full of work to fix the issue. If someone wants to help me correct this, I'm all for it.


A few pics, as I'm too tired and full of work to do an AAR this evening:

Goodness. Look at these guys who're turning up all over my kingdom:

Just to give you an idea, by Turn 10, I had this little group of buddies show up in one of my provinces:

All told, I'd say by Turn 13, I had roughly 60-70 deep one/merman dreamers spawned with my Dominion 10 Void Lurker imprisoned and my Prophet dead for half those turns due to a stupid Arena scripting mistake.

By the way, hey... This looks... new...

Why, yes. Yes I do believe that's new.

BTW, the random map generator's really pretty good. Here's a map I generated with about ten minutes of fiddling with the controls:
