Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
While I too am anxious to play my next turn we all knew this was intended to be a slow game. Also bear in mind that we are still in the early game. Including diplomacy my turns are already taking 30 minutes or more, in late game I expect it to be at least a couple of hours (assuming I make it that far).
There's always blitz games. Pop onto IRC to find one, they seem a friendly bunch

Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
I forgot to make a couple mages construct some magic items, can I resend the turn before it hosts? Is that legal?

Of course. It will automatically overwrite the previous one.

Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
I like to take my time, peruse the manual, contemplate different moves, enjoy myself. I'd rather miss a turn than rush through because a deadline looms.
Dominions is treat to be savored, not a chore.

Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
Yep everybodies different. I've just accepted the fact that this is a slow poke game. It takes me all of 5 minutes to do a turn. I haven't been able to expand very well on this map, nor gather the force needed to rock Argatha for thier transgressions in my area.
It's not a problem though. Domminions 3 is a great game, but it plays second or third fiddle to some other software. I've always prefered technology over magic anyways.
I would like to equip my troops with automatic M4 Carbines and Druganov sniper rifles for example.

Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
Eh, I guess I'm young and impatient then. I like to see my plans come to fruition or crashing down so that I can see what went wrong and make newer, grander plans to crush all that lie before me. Oh well, the other game I joined is moving along nicely and this one does provide a pleasant laid back feel to it.
Oh and I can understand where skirmisher is coming from tech-wise, though personally I would take it a step further and form battalions of Mechs to sweep across the fields covered by a variety of well planned areal assaults and judicious use of off planet artillery. Man, I'd kill for a decent Mech game, last good one in my eyes was Mercenaries though there were the Mechcommander games which weren't half bad.

Re: Greenrow: noobs, slowpace -- game on
I must be the representative for the older heneration....I could use a LOT less magic and have a LOT more rock, paper, scissors type troop warfare.
Strategic warfare conclusions coupled with Tactical set up is just fine.
I just don't understand all the Ramifacations of Magic in battle.
I really like this game and MAYBE I will understand it some day.

This is a game with great depth and replayability. I don't understand all the ramifacations either, but I do understand you have to research to get there. That research is real important in the context of this game.
