In fairness, those hordes were only mostly undead.

I'm having trouble connecting to the server, it just hangs at the waiting for game info screen no matter how many times I try again.

iRFNA · #**513** April 13th, 2011, 05:44 PM

as usual, email sent, should be fixed shortly

SirMu · #**514** April 13th, 2011, 10:03 PM

Yeah, super tough (see: impossible) time connecting, despite having firewall off. It looks like you already extended, but if not, extension please.

Besides, I've got pretty good scales for it (the turmoil 3 and luck three means he should be getting a fair amount of positive events), so I can kind of see why that works without spreading his own inferior dominion.

There seems to be some debate on the matter, but the general consensus seems to be that you do not benefit from the Luck scales of an opponent's dominion. Some believe Luck 3 in an enemy dominion is treated as Luck 0. Others say it is Misfortune 3.

See: Enemy Dominion + Luck/Misfortune

I am not sure which is correct. But, I am certain that red candles and shamrocks are not a good combination.

Fair enough. Regardless, he doesn't seem to interested in developing the land... more taxing the inhabitants into rebellion.

I still have some of my magepriests running around, they can create undead. And ghouls, and if you make ghouls you kill pop. Scorched earth!

You are no more than a mere annoyance.

From the SeaOfInnocence thread, but applicable here. Perhaps it will give SirMu time to figure out how he's gonna get his turns to the server
