I believe they're only on when score graphs are enabled.

Edit: I'll join as Agartha. I'd join as Ys, but the aquatic slot is taken already. :P

I think it has more to do with you being the nation who's dominion they can ignore, heh. As with any harmful dominion C'tis can be forced into a tough spot.
That just means I can be next to them without having to worry as much about spreading my dominion into their territory being a reason for war. And we can be friendly.

I like how MA Atlantis has only a few types of commanders to begin with. "Sure, a scout, a leader, maybe a minor priest, big priest, big mage, another mage. Done!" Compare, to say, EA Arcoscephale...

I will host the game in roughly 18 hours, so maybe we can get started late friday or early saturday.

Welcome Shadowlord!


Atlantis is ... intresting. You got a lot of buff dudes (kinda like ulm). Wanna be fitness buddys and beat up skinny strange undead things ; ) - Agartha can join, too - also buff. Pan, too. Buff dudes vs wimps : D

Pls don't tread on birb. Oh right, I'll see about getting my turn in, but on Saturday from about 9am gmt onward I am boarding a plane so I may not get my turn in on time. In that case keep an eye on this thread. I'll prolly drop the delay myself and say how long it would take me. Alternatively if I can get my turn before I board I should be good.

Also damn. I think I finally got my legwork for this round done. Nazca is looking like a tricky nation to play so hopefully I have something feasible cobbled up.

Hosting game now, so everyone can submit pretenders and stuff.

As for Thrones, these would be the current settings:

Thrones:
4x Level One Thrones
2x Level Two Thrones
2x Level Three Thrones
= 14 Total possible Points.
9 Points to win
(So you need at least one level 3 Throne, but can win "fast" if you got it)


Story Events are ON

Score graphs are OFF

###

Feel free to state if you have a preference for different settings.

Personally, I didn't really have time to test much, but it's ulm, how hard can it be. In my tests I found that after getting like 20 Mages (each with 20% change for a extra path) I only had 3 with extra paths, so .... fml


Edit:

I did the thing with the names for easy pms/overview. Click a name to go the profile and pm.

Alright, sent my pretender in. Quick questions about score graphs since I just darned forget if turning score graphs off means you can't see your own graphs and you can't spy on other nations score graphs? Since it's something I am curious about.

You can always see your own graphs, enabled is you can also see everyone else's graphs, disabled is you can see other people's graphs if you spy on them (either via spy in their cap or via spells) and no info is you can't see other people's graphs full stop.

Real talk, my english clearly is garbage compared to ya'll, but I hope it is more amusing then confusing ^^

During a test game (somehow) the AI had a awake stone-snake and I can tell you those are a real mess to beat if you don't have some mild monsters hidden in your units and all your units are map-move-1

The stone snake can be a bit annoying, due to that hp pool and protection, buuut as with all units, it'll rack up afflictions in the end. With only one attack the main thing about it is the power to rout units. If you can surround it with unbreaking units you can possibly hope to ear it down until it takes a particularly strong hit. Mostly though it's hard to deal with early on.

Also you coulda fooled me with your English.

Those snakes (Assuming you mean the Pretender) have Recuperation though, they'll bleed off afflictions...

...the embarrassing thing is I had the mod inspector up at the moment, guess I missed that. Still, while they will bleed off afflictions it's a slow process for recuperation, and a lot of it depends on the difficulty of affliction itself I think... unless that applies to healing sites only. The mod manual doesn't mention it, but I recall playing with a gorgon once in a game I subbed in for, and the gorgon spent quite a few months afflicted with... muteness? Feeblemindedness? I forget which it's been years.

For the record, there are 11 preset throne locations in the map between the starts, and 9 land starts plus the 1 cave and 1 water start.
