So all the strongest nations, bar Ashdod, are taken?
I'll try Agartha out. Unless someone else really wants Agartha, in which case i'll random.
Agartha op : P
I might try atlantis in this one... or can I have a random nation made by our dear host?
He wants you to random him into Ermor or however the hell Yomi is called in MA.
Wow, that's a big map!
I hear my services are needed here.
I hear my services are needed here.
Join up Karlito, Ashdod is still unclaimed.
I would if there weren't already 3 heaping servings of Dominions on my plate.
I've played Arcoscephale, Caelum and the the naga forgot the race all EA. My main problem is that I don't expand/to passive so I get steamrolled by the AI and I have no idea what to build when it comes to a Gods I just kinda throw stuff together.

huh I just messed around with them they are pretty cool. I can play any race I would think. I'm just not of fan of Blood Magic, Nature/Water/Astral are my favorite of the magic pathsI've played Arcoscephale, Caelum and the the naga forgot the race all EA.

If I were you, I'd play as Machaka. Sure, they suck in my opinion. But they get the "Collossal Fetish" Pretender chassis. I'd call it Wilford Brimley and make Diabetes jokes.
Mind if I'm Ulm?
I'm out, 4 games (or 2+) would be a bit to much for me.

I wouldn't mind. Not sure where Ermor starts.
Agartha's position is indeed bad, but only if THAT one race is playing. You know the one.. Insta-aoe-destruction of all your statues, forever. Every round of every battle. Spammable commanders that knock Agartha out of the game by turn 10. Yeah, that one. They start next to each other, and that makes you wonder.Stworca, either you've never heard of round 5, or you're calling Lorak an idiot. And I do remember him as one of the most resourceful players I have fought.
Seeing how anyone - with IQ exceeding that of a rock - can instagib that specific nation A (moi), with that specific nation B (fucking Caelum), will make me change realms should it be chosen.
Stworca, either you've never heard of round 5, or you're calling Lorak an idiot. And I do remember him as one of the most resourceful players I have fought.
By one square in either direction is actually pretty fine, I'd say. Just don't assign anyone in a corner with one bordering province :)
Keep in mind, that the map starting positions were designed for those specific nations. Your bloody wasteland will actually help you more as Pyth, than farmlands.
..Think about it for a second, sunny Jim.
I'm staying in my caves!
Edit : Ok, a hint.
Waste: (site freq) + 20
I've had a go with a few nations on that map, and it's looking really nice for most of them. Them crabs, lobsters and fish have it tough, but Palazzo plays them, so we don't care.
Provinces with city icons in them are large, thus gaining bonuses. There is an explanation in the left, upper corner.
I know. But the cities near me, while having 30k population, generate about 50 gold per turn
I know. But the cities near me, while having 30k population, generate about 50 gold per turn
A picture, perhaps? I cannot reproduce results even remotely close to similar.
4k pop, 40 income on the closest wasteland, then it differs in pop to around 12k at times, but with plains-like income. Seems normal to me.
You SURE you didn't have turmoil 3 sloth 3 death 3 AND 90 unrest? For a 30k to generate 50 income, there is no other way. Wasteland or not.
I had order 3, Prod 3, growth 1
I had order 3, Prod 3, growth 1
Please excuse me the expression, but no fucking way is that possible to be correct. You had unrest / you had some other mods enabled / aliens invaded the map, and messed everything up.
Are we ready to start yet? I'm going to send in my pretender soon. Just need the official game's name.
I was sure we were waiting till 23rd for Alkhemia?you can go if you want I can jump in the next one or something it 2 weeks so no need to wait for me.
That's.. 2 weeks. Rough, but we'll get more chaff by then, no doubt.
Believe it or not, wasteland has more or less the same income as plains.
Unless i'm horribly mistaken here, Waste only messes supplies and resources up.
I'd like to try this out if you're still looking for players. Although I have little Dominions experience and no multiplayer experience I finally got tired of fighting the AI. Rare was the day that I actually won against them but still it'd be cool to what all the hubbub is about.
If possible I'd like to join as Marignon, they're the only nation I've ever really played well but I'm open to any suggestions.
Witch Hunter Communions are your best friend for Marignon.
I think most underrated nations (say MA Ulm) deserve the reputation they have.That where I'm going to grab it at.
I'm not sure if you know, but Dominions 3 is now only $30 on Desura (http://www.desura.com/games/dominions-3-the-awakening/), rather than the $55 it was under Shrapnel.
Palazzo is not amused by Stworca giving up before the fight even started.
Nie ładnie Tadeuszu...
Since the only reason I chose Atlantis was to prove the superiority of free-range frutti di mare over mass-produced sculptures, I hereby ask our gracious host to change my nation to Machaka.
Them niggardly(what?) voodoo arachnophiles, dawg.
Sorry to lose you Stworca.Oh a race I actually know about and japanese mythology is pretty interesting should be fun.
Alkhemia, I put you down as Shinuyuma.
Get Agartha, mog, you'll love it.
You're looking at an average Earth income of 30 when you take all Terra. Based on 5 games.
So, shall we wait for one more person to start? or do you want to begin now?Up to you I'm ready to fail horribly anytime also how does this lama server thing work?

Stolen shamelessly from Akhier:
First of all, you need to download the map and the mod(links will be provided after we decide on which one to use), and put the files into the map and mod folders of your dom3 installation respectively.
Then go to the options menu and enable the mod.
Next use the pretender creation tool in the game tools menu to create a pretender and send the file(to be found in your /dominions3/savedgames/newlords; named <your_nation_era_number.2h>, where number is most likely "0" if it's the only pretender you've created so far for this nation.) to "pretenders [at ] llamaserver [dot ] net" with the game name as the subject.
Game name will most likely be "Bay12GamesRound11".
You'll be recieiving .trn files from llama server, which you shoud put into a {dom3dir}/savedgames/{whatevernameyouwant}/
After finishing your moves, a new .2h file will appear in that folder, which you should send to the same address from which you've recieved your .trn file.
Ugh... some stuff happened today. I'll have to set it up later. Sorry guys.it all good
No rush.The games going to take months to finish so not like a few days matter much.
If I change the starting positions on the map, do all of you need a copy of that file for the changes to take effect?
No problem man. Just let us know when, I'm pretty much ready on my side.same

Thank you so much Margrave, I was completely lost.No he has some rl stuff stopping him from playing or something he was out even before you wanted in.
I am concerned if Moghopper is dropping because of me.
sorry about ditching the match. Things have gotten really busy at work.eh it fine not like it your fault.
It a pretty sexy map tbh.
Yeah that the only thing bad about it.It a pretty sexy map tbh.
It is ruined by the fact that the author put his name on it mind you. Nothing breaks immersion better.

Huh I've not look at all of the area yet only in my little island that I start on and the fancy planes.
Man, playing Machaka without a single forest province in sight. I suppose the God Forest is a slightly exaggrated name for a patch of lawn or something.That does not sound good will you be ok?
Yeah, you just have to keep watch on the current game threads and you will hear about the next round quickly that way. You might have to wait a little while for a new game to start up though you might be able to sub in one of the current round if thats your thing. Though the Palazzoian Juggernaut seems like he might be able to end round 13 relatively quickly and if that ends or at least if I die there I will probably host another game. I don't know the age though probably not MA as round 14 is that though it will depend on what the people want as I don't care either way as I will probably end up playing Tien Chi again as its basically my thing at this point.Huh could be fun to jump in a round 15 I'll mostly like jump in if you host.
Huh, my capitol is apparently only one province away from another capitol.
Yeah, and I have a neighbor already. I also failed in one of my attacks. I've never played water before and don't seem to be so hot with them just yet, and also staled on my 2nd turn, so let's not play up the threat of Kebooo!
The best part is that I only know a little about Ermor (Zombie swarm of death) Rl'yeh (HP Lovecraft be Damned) the rest besides what I'm playing as I have no idea what they do, but w/e I'll find out when they come to beat me up if Marignon/Tien'Chi don't do it first
Something about trying to bring back jesus but grab death itself instead and sorta spiraled out of control after.The best part is that I only know a little about Ermor (Zombie swarm of death) Rl'yeh (HP Lovecraft be Damned) the rest besides what I'm playing as I have no idea what they do, but w/e I'll find out when they come to beat me up if Marignon/Tien'Chi don't do it first
Ermor though is an entirely different beast depending on when you play them.
Early Age Ermor and Late Age Ermor might as well be entirely different nations.

I've been hemorrhaging my economy trying to rebuild my army.
Alright I just made a new gmail account. How would I go about getting my turns sent there instead of my old email?pm me your email address and I'll change it.
Huh I'm just about ready to go to the planes just building up my force since I start right near a spot that goes to the big ass tree plane.
Oh I need to get to the Air one then to bad it so far away.Huh I'm just about ready to go to the planes just building up my force since I start right near a spot that goes to the big ass tree plane.
Remember that the planes actually mean something. If you go to the "tree plane" you will get a lot of nature gems.
So how long do you think a map of this size will play out?I'd say we're looking at three months minimum.
Extra: Oh CMB took out fever fetish I guess

I am a little worried I might end up missing a turn, not because of the fast pace but because I've been having a lot of emotional instability lately and my "Fed up with everything" mode isn't too far behind.Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Kaminsod.

Can't say that I am. But if I do see him, I'll be sure to attack him on sight. Just got legions of steel and iron will up with my crystal shields. My foot soldiers have insane proc and magic resistance with buffs up.Haha, what? :P

You did stall last turn so I guess you missed it.
Did I miss turn 24?You can always visit the game page on llamaserver(http://www.llamaserver.net/gameinfo.cgi?game=Bay12Round14) and go to admin options -> show stalling data. You don't need password to do that.
Hmm I kinda want to do some real combat to see how my stuff does but I also don't really want to attack anyone such a dilemma, It also odd that we have not got an arena match yet.Try attacking an independent province, then use "U" command during battle replay to create units. This is just a simulation, so it does not affect the army losses/afflictions/etc. in any way.

Very well, young Padawan. But you must first relinquish all that is worldly and material. You must feel the force flow within you as you first press shift before pressing "u", so that the result is a "U" and not a mere "u", as Obi-Wan Palazzo had indeed told you before but you did not care to read properly. :PTry attacking an independent province, then use "U" command during battle replay to create units. This is just a simulation, so it does not affect the army losses/afflictions/etc. in any way.
Is this for offline mode only, or am I doing something wrong? I was watching a replay battle against indies and pressed U and nothing was happening. Teach me your ways!
Willing to auction a ring of sorcery.How much is the asking price?
I am probably going to miss this turn, don't bother rolling back. I can make up any delays thanks to my faction.Hey, take it easy. If you really don't want to play then just turn yourself AI. But you can just as well continue at your leisure. You might miss a bunch of turns and not end up very competitive, but you might also get a lot of fun out of playing just for the sheer fun of it.
Ohhh I did miss it...... I am a terrible player...
Preferably a communion considering its Pythum
Work around the hydra+troop limitation with positioning and orders. I shan't give you the exact formulas, but I've utilized hydras a lot as Sauromatia.
Its not that you can't have them with other troops. Its just that they have a poison cloud thing going on so if the other troops are not immune they tend to die from it.ah I see
Sent my turn to llamaserver but it doesn't seem to have received it. Sent it a second time and so far, same thing. Hopefully that'll work itself out soon.Server is currently not updating. No need to resend your turns or fret too much - it'll process your submitted saves once it resumes operation.
With what turns out to have been a hardware problem fixed, the server is up again. Three cheers for llamabeast for the selfless service he does in providing and maintaining the server. There is some talk about supporting the man with some donations: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?s=400081a77b00adcdd3a5134339243a37&showtopic=1487&st=0sorry about that the email got deleted when I was clean my stuff out on accident I was just going to pick up on the next turn I'm not missing much

still no AshdodI'll give you a hint. Look in Ermor. Still, we survive, so far.

-J-
Hey now, I mean you no harm. Long as you don't try to poke me I won't poke you. I was just as stuck on my island and Mari is the only way out for me.Seems to be the theme this game everyone just wants to chill and not kill me well besides Il Palazzo and his "Spooky Spiders" wherever they are.
still no AshdodI'll give you a hint. Look in Ermor. Still, we survive, so far.

I would if I could, but I can't so I shan't.Fixed that for you. Rhyming is very important.

Hey I sent a nice little apology to you by PM when I attacked as is my standard procedure. Anyway you only had like 4 provinces at the time and I'm desperate for expansion. Several other players seem to have like 40+ provinces and I have half that. (Grumbles about unfair starting locations while shaking fist).
Regardless I only plan to take your capital. Should by extreme luck your other army manage to break away and forge a new little empire, I would leave you well enough alone.
I declare war on Pythium!I see you flunked the Stab In The Back school of warfare.
HAHAHA Palazzo, are assassins the best you can think of? Rhetorical question, I shall expect increasingly devious plans from you in the future and do my best to match them! :PCurses! With my assassins dead, I can now only hide behind walls and weep. I'm very good at doing this, though, and the walls are thick, and the larders stocked.
Curses! With my assassins dead, I can now only hide behind walls and weep. I'm very good at doing this, though, and the walls are thick, and the larders stocked.In the same spirit as your initial messages of peace sent to me so long ago, I would simply like to say that there is no way your walls can long stand against the vigorous pounding of my men outside. :))
Ah, the mighty Ashdod empire rises from the ashes to build a fortress across from ours! What brazen arrogance these little (giant) gnats display. Do we trap them in like rats, or assault their doorstep?! Who is to say? Not even the great Mojorocker knows.Do as you will. As shall we.
Ugh, Machaka and Tien'Chi can have the Tree just let my guys leave.
Yeah but I made a deal with the Devil and he wants you dead.Ugh, Machaka and Tien'Chi can have the Tree just let my guys leave.
We all know who the devil is, the only question is... why did you sell your soul?He gave me a offer I could not refuse you could say.
Only thing that sucks is that all my attack on Akhier will be a mystery for a week.I figured I would ask but did you even scout my realm? You won't be taking my stuff in any sort of ease. Marignon went for peace rather then finishing me off for a reason. Also I have more mages then you. I am positive of it.
I have a scout running around and the places I'm attacking have like 1 dude in it or w/e I can see with my dominionOnly thing that sucks is that all my attack on Akhier will be a mystery for a week.I figured I would ask but did you even scout my realm?

Well chainmail of displacement and rustmist is pretty good when you're fighting against PD.Oh how did you know about me having a bunch of chainmails of displacement?
Ermor should cast Burden of Time or Utterdark that would be pretty cool.Sure, just send me some gems for it ;D
I only have like 50 or so I need them to pump out Shuras and Horror Helms I wish I could find a site or 2 for astral pearls right now I'm stuck turning all my nature gems into them.Ermor should cast Burden of Time or Utterdark that would be pretty cool.Sure, just send me some gems for it ;D
So I have to ask. Why wavebreaker? I don't think my single sea provinces requires even that much to conquer. I must admit it is basically pointless at this time as I managed to dip my toes into the water just in time for all the water in the area to be taken.No idea I was just following the guide
Just stick them with a few magic items, like a Wavebreaker, Horror Helmet, Chainmail of Displacement, Winged Shoes, Anti-Magic Amulet, and Luck Pendant, and watch them go.
Edit: So how easy is it to stop the big spells like Eye of God or Arcane Nexus I've only mess with Mother Oak and stuff vs AI and they don't really do anything about itBasically, if you spend as many extra gems(above the base price) casting dispel as was put in casting the target ritual, then you have 50% chance of success.
:o Large friendly casualties are expected when playing Ermor but that was impressive.Cheers. We're just getting started. :P
And some just work right away right?Well, it takes a turn to notice the global and then counter it, so in some cases it might be worth casting even for one turn(like with the Forge). With other spells, it's a question of whether or not you care all that much. Would you waste 75 fire gems(fate of Oedipus cost) to remove a spell that while useful, is not a game breaker?
Say you use Eye of God then someone casts Fate of Oedipus then you just wasted a bunch of stuff for nothing right?
Kinda seems like most of the big stuff are just a waste of gems.
I'm going to be adding a few days to the deadline every turn from now on, until gman is safely back from the internetless wastelands he's visiting.kk TI3 starting soon so not a big deal for me
I'm going to be adding a few days to the deadline every turn from now on, until gman is safely back from the internetless wastelands he's visiting.Thanks! Here's to hoping a few of my other hotels have internet too. Maybe one will even have good wifi that doesn't require me to crouch in a corner :P.
Your lack of reaction is terrifying me, Tien Chi. I've underestimated mages before in a siege and I've got my ass kicked.hmm well I'm sieging him as well but I'll find out what going on in the next turn for sure :D
Also **** strategy I'll just make a blog and attack stuff Oni don't use strategy who needs it if you can just outnumber them :PFamous last words.
Ofc but I'm not interested in winning anyways it going to be you or Ulm that will win.Also **** strategy I'll just make a blog and attack stuff Oni don't use strategy who needs it if you can just outnumber them :PFamous last words.
I'd be more terrified of R'lyeh with their absolutely monstrous gem income.I'm going to have to see what they have next turn and where poor Ashdod is.
Let's not exaggerate my slightly higher gem income that is a result of diligence, in a swath of land less than half of Ulm's. NO ONE FORGET THATWell poo, I can't exactly cast Acashic reader every turn.
So what happens if 3+ civ are in the same providence?You end up with two battles, whom vs whom seems to be determined randomly, until there's just one left standing. Pretty much the same what happens during arena championships.
Say Ulm and me attack Akhier capital at the same time.
Ouch. :oYeah, you took three units I did not really want to lose. Also how well would you say I did in that fight? I have never really been this far into a game. I know the front line of water mages did not work out that well with your iron blizzard spell eviscerating them but the back line was not as bad as I thought it would go. This was actually my first time using a communion as well so what was your opinion of my use of that?
That certainly was a painful battle, Tien Chi.
Well darn, I was hoping that a bird drop of that many could take 14 PD and the few units that where there.Yeah that was odd you really should have won I guess since my dude got in a little square with the birds all around they could tank them better or something.
Mmmh, tasty, tasty scheming.Odd how people are just letting you keep the Forge of the Ancients it really good right?
Holy shoots Machaka that's a lot of trolls! :oYeah, a bit of an overkill, really.
Tien Chi is a bit tied up at the moment. Aha Aha AHAHAHAHAI see, your right outside his capital that means I get free run of all the outlying provinces, Lucky me
Well Terminator, Commando, and Eraser are doing the best they can.I don't even think if I threw all of my army at your SC that they could even kill one of them I'm not sure how you even fight SC never got this far in a Dom 3 game before.
You get blood 9 to max and use Claws or Infernal Prison. That's the easiest sureproof method.huh a spell that kills stuff instantly seems pretty good too bad I don't have any blood mages.
What do you think I have Commando for, Akhier? Though I must say, I'm not sure my angels can survive having a meteor dumped on their heads.Oh they are not my units. They are just in my province. Its that hero party that occasional happens as a random event and wrecks your face because they cheat and have the order to attack commanders and have magic items and stuff which is quite powerful.
Oh you mean Bogus and friends down to the west? I'll try not to tangle with them.If it wasn't for you taking my stuff up north even if I couldn't beat Alk that one province is a choke point so I would still be safe from him.
Are they really that strong, sound like a challenge to me I'll beat them up and take the loot.Oh you mean Bogus and friends down to the west? I'll try not to tangle with them.If it wasn't for you taking my stuff up north even if I couldn't beat Alk that one province is a choke point so I would still be safe from him.
What are the mechanics for when all the global enchantment slots are filled? Does a newly cast enchantment always go through, and knocks one off at random?It would appear that once the slots are filled, any subsequent global randomly choses one of the existing ones and tries to dispel it comparing numbers of gems spent. This might target your own global, mind you.
It's good to see that the Black Lord commander was a free agent and decided to sign with us. Smart move that extended his lifespan, at least until The Terminator pays him a visit.Enslave is like a relationship held together by a mortgage. True love can come only from Charm.
Don't mind hunt with your pretender unless it has immortality (even if it has really high astral)You must have missed that sage I had teleported in that battle together with John Holmes' trolls. Mind hunting where a 3 Astral mage is present is a certain ticket to the madhouse.
Darn, looks like another victory for Pillazo.Pillazo tinkz u giwe up t00 eays.
Well bad luck guys. My computer blew its power supply so 2 to 6 business days till a new one. It should arrive early next week but until that happens I won't be able to do much of anything as the computer I am using to post this doesn't have Dom3 on it. If people don't mind I would like a postponement till I can get my computer back up on its legs.I certainly wouldn't mind. My usual hour long turn has turned into two hours two due certain developments.
It looks like I'm not the only one fighting a war on three frontsYeah in hindsight I should've had more troops next to his places I was just focusing all my war effort into killing Akhier.
If I can't kill the spiders, I shall at least attempt to disease them all. Also you didn't have that fatigue spell active which increased my staying power dramatically.I don't get how people have so much tech most people have like 10x mine oh well I'm almost to my Dai Oni that should help out a lot if i can get my construction higher for the better items.
My research pales in comparison to that of most of you but I will try my best to put up a good show before my demise.
Oh the spiders are attacking me from behind
co-exist together as a federation of pretenders.I would be ok with this.
Darn you Machaka! You'll pay for what you did to Predator! I thought I moved him too.Movement phase is resolved after magic phase. There's no escape.
You should always have at least 1 PD in any province to help fend off random derpage. Then again one of my favorite early game tactics when I start a war is to bird drop as much of my enemies land as possible to see whats up though I have only had one good chance to start an early war so far.To bad the birds are so weak or it would work better.
Darn Marignon and their endless army of indies.
Sent but I giveCome again? You give...
Give up it pretty much over for me anyways and I don't really want to set though the 20 or so turn it would take you to kill me.Sent but I giveCome again? You give...
I'm thinking of conceding. This is getting extremely tedious on my part.It is indeed true that being on the receiving end of an invasion is extremaly taxing.
Ah poo, now I seem like a whiny butthole :P
Whatever, now I can concentrate shifting my troops somewhere more desirable.
Does that mean you aren't actively resisting Palazzo anymore? If not, then I think I'll have to eat up some of your land too.Calm yourself buddy. Simply meant I haven't looked at the current turn recently.
My guardians of the deep global attacked and conquered one of Marignon's provinces.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT
NOT MY FAULT
MY FAULT
I always wondered why it's easier to kill a large fraction of an province's population (numbering in the thousands) than it is to kill a small army with remote attack spells.I always wondered why it's easier to kill a large fraction of a village population (numbering in the dozens) than it is to kill a few taliban with remote attack drones.
Yeah, well I diseased more of Palazzo's troops than he diseased of mine!But who's got the Chalice, gov?

Sorry I've been gone so long. Have I missed anything?
But who's got the Chalice, gov?
Well if Ermor does cast Burden of Time, it won't affect R'lyeh that much considering the longevity of their troops.
Usually, they're targeted by strongest HP. That's why lots of people bring siege golems against blood nations that have infernal prison/claws of cocytos.Then, the abomination ought to be the target. And it wasn't.
Amidst rollbacks, delays and llama server being difficult I have to announce my temporary absence the week of August 30th to September 7th as I will be out of town and unable to access a Dom friendly computer.And about that, I wouldn't mind a week-long break around that time.
I leave it up to you guys how you want to approach this, would it be better to find a sub or delay the game for a week? I can play until this Friday but I'm open to getting another (better) player to fill my shoes.
I also hate teleporting super armies that can strike anywhere at any time, thus causing my only hope to be to teleport into them first. What I like is seeing assassination attempts on Yaqub fail over and over and my growing personal spider army.You win some, you lose some.
And all those tentacles at Elderhill...dark vines, abominations, illithids and a land walking kraken!
Ah poop, looks like I suffered a game deciding battle myself.
And I learned that the power of a cave troll isn't in his weapon arm, it's in his really thick asbestos skin.So who's won the battle? I'm getting conflicting messages here.
Oh, and that magical diversity is very, very, very important when my SCs can't fly and cover my ass.
So who's won the battle? I'm getting conflicting messages here.
30-40 % chance per astral level of him catching your mage I believe I read somewhere.That was probably the worst loss I ever had so far.So who's won the battle? I'm getting conflicting messages here.
Two different battles, I won one, Ulm won one.
Did kill an Iron Angel with Mind hunt though. I was more excited to see that than I was watching the battle.
That's more a balance issue if/when true than anything. As R'lyeh I have found that every commander type has its uses and value. Some are more important for leading regular troops, or researching, or getting certain magic paths, or acting as communion slaves.
Speaking of apparently useless tags, anyone knows what does the "divine being" tag is supposed to do? E.g., Kinnara, and many other Kailasa's summons.I tried doing some digging but found nothing some of the tags in the game seem to be just flavor or something.

Oh the masses of mind hunts that all failed, how I didn't miss you.Pfft. It's your own fault, matey. You knew Mchumba, with her glorious 9mr but 4 astral was there to sever the cords.
I probably shouldn't have gone by who was in those two provinces during the battles when deciding to mind hunt.Yeah, that's what I meant. It's the best one can do to prevent such mishaps, although it's not a sure-fire way. The other side can always teleport another astral mage in, and whether or not any mind hunts go through depends then on the order in which the spells are cast.
Wait, I misread. I thought you said "should have gone by". From what I understand now, you simply missed her during the battle, 'cause she was there with the trolls, casting antimagic and all.I probably shouldn't have gone by who was in those two provinces during the battles when deciding to mind hunt.Yeah, that's what I meant.
I also think waiting is the best choice, even at the risk of never restarting the game. Even without AI the tediousness of waging war across hundreds of provinces can erode any fighting spirit.I leave the choice up to those with larger territories than myself. You folk will have to deal with all that for far longer than I would.
This is probably going to be my last Dominions 3 game, since I'll be getting 4 soon, so I'm hoping to have a good memory of it and not a tedious and less fun one.Same. I suppose it actually works out rather well with this potentially ending right at the time Dominions 4 is near completion. So far I like it better just because of repeat recruitment :P.
