Oh, I forgot about the N9 part of ermor's bless. I was mainly worried about the blood vengence killing my troops.

Yes, dominions has an open ended dice rolls.

Spoiler: from the manual (click to show/hide)

The knight was dead the instant swarm was cast, many of the bugs has poison or armor negating attacks.

Ermor has the largest army, last count it was 800+, but it is mostly undead chaff and counting the actual troops is tough. Arco and Agartha as far as I'm aware take up the 2nd and 3rd spots for army. The rest is so close I cant truly count.

I see no way I could be more diplomatic about this but I guess I should mention that I'm going to be attacking ermor. None of my armies are on the border right now but at least to respect oceania's request for more then a turn warning when breaking peace, I'll announce it now. Ermor's bless is D4 B9, that is somewhat scary for my low MR troops, but that is going to change. The critical research I need to effectively fight ermor will complete very shortly.

Anyway, as a result, my research/number of mages is way, way, way, below where it should be (I literally just got my second lab back up and running again the turn I went AI.) I've got a decent-sized army, but Marignon's fire-crossbows could probably kill it with no losses, honestly.
Um...you had W9 calvary, you could have put your red guard in two seperate groups 6 tiles behind and flanking on each side from center then have them target archers. If you had set a group of 20 foot soldiers in line formation near the front, the entire crossbow line would have shot at that. Then the calvary would have two full turns to cross the distance and start hitting the crossbowmen. If the arrow catchers survived, the crossbowmen would have shot a second time. It definitely would have been a bloody battle and would have left you vulnerable to ermor.

I do understand the frustration that you had fought so long against ermor and probably would not receive any reward for it. I also understand the frustration that comes with assuming that other people knows what your thinking. There is only 2 nations that can actually play while being above diplomacy, MA Ermor and LA Ragha. There is the possibility of EA Agartha on this map but I'm not sure.

TC just turned AI?! :o

Lol, I get that. Back when I was around 15 years old or so, when I first played X²..I'd get in all sorts of stupid fights. Including getting that Shockwave Generator weapon thing, parking in the exit of a pirate station, and firing it. HUNDREDS OF EXPLOSIONS PER SECOND!
The lag generator was fun to use as a single ship, but I ended up one time making the mistake of fully outfitting them to a carrier and jumping into one of the unknown sector.

I think every nation is at the point where if 2 nations was to attack one, that one will fall, which is making for a large amount of diplomatic encouragement to go attack the person your attacking.

Although, one funny thing to note, with so many astral major powers, the first global that gets cast is going to be nuked so heavily it really shouldn't be as funny of a thought.

Since round 27 ended not to long ago, there is the possiblity of starting round29, next to 28, but I doubt we'll have 6-8 players willing for it right now...

I've been playing (and losing to) super hard AI and the amount of blesses they have is gross as all hell...
I had an interesting thought for a game, nationgen pool. Each player give the number to generate a nation then once all the players have sent one then the host would make the mod, distribute it then randomly assign each player a nation. It would discourage finding the most overpowered nation since it could end up being used against you. Easiest way I found of searching for an interesting nation is under nation restriction then nation or race theme. As an example, seed 1573659351 is hoburgs that have a recruit at any fort sacreds that are power frames, but they consume a lot of supplies.

I'm questioning that too, my searches have turned up nothing.

Yes, the topic is a bit dead. I would only speculate the reason why is because the theme park mmo is the opposite of the sandbox nature of dwarf fortress.

Might I recommend putting the skill level of the characters to the left of the check boxes for each related task for the ones that are relevant?

You don't, you manually move the mouse down the list while watching the info screen for when you see it. Since I think I provided the entire list of them you can just search for each spell by name and see what they do.
