Re: Enough whining!

While your tone is a little harsh, I can understand your frustration. I'd much rather play the game that exists than complain about how it should be. If some particular tactic or combination of...

Re: Anyone use a Fortified City?

I like to use a fortified city for Man (standard) in combination with a big blessing for my wardens. Clear out the provinces immediately around the capitol and watch the resources pour in. Note that...

Re: Man: Tuatha questions

I was originally going to go with the Mausoleum, with that cheap castle + cheap temple concept in mind. However, I got some good advice that warned me off the Mausoleum (too flimsy) so I switched my...

Man: Tuatha questions

I've really taken a liking to the Last of Tuatha theme for Man and so I've decided to take them in an upcoming MP game. However, with only SP experience with this nation, I have a few questions about...

Re: early fightin\' pretender spells

Interesting. I had thought of an artillery pretender as something like a fire-9 moloch (that's pretty much the only one I've used), but a multi-path bLaster is an intriguing option. Do you have any...

Re: Aggressive dominion strategy?

I'm not wild about Mictlan for this purpose as it's dominion is weak without blood sacrifice. In fact, it seems like Mictlan might be vulnerable to a dominion push in the early going. Abysia and...

Aggressive dominion strategy?

I recently played a 1-on-1 multiplayer game where going for a dominion-kill allowed me to break open a rather stalemated military situation (damn citadels!). I certainly wasn't planning to win by...

Re: New pretender gods

I like this idea a lot. If you want to emphasize his "slayer of powerful beings" bit, you could give him the ability to do double damage to larger creatures. That would help compensate for his lower...

Re: Vanheim themes?

Ah, but I only need a D1 galderman. My pretender (D4) doesn't mind forging the first skull staff, and then that galderman can focus on building the various D2 items (wraith sword, skull staff, etc)....

Re: Vanheim themes?

Thanks for the response.

The one thing that worries me about base is access to life drain weapons. For base, relying on randoms (EEEB, EEED dwarves) is a definite crapshoot. I guess you could...

Vanheim themes?

I'm finally getting around to trying out Vanheim in MP, and I was wondering what other players thought about the three themes available (default, Helheim and Midgard).

I like to focus on...

Help tweaking pretender

Recently I've been messing around with Abysia using a fire-9 moloch. Flare/Fire Darts + blessed lava warriors do quite a number on the independents in the early going, and later on combos like Heat...

Re: Mumbling about MP security

Absolute security may not be possible, but, as described above, client hacks can be eliminated by simply passing the client a partial copy of the game state, with the client only returning a list of...

Re: Mumbling about MP security

Absolutely. This is especially true for a turn-based game, where effectively all you are doing is using the client to fill out an orders sheet which is then processed by the server.



Lol. I ran...

Re: allied Victory .. is it possible ?

I agree. I used to play a PBEM wargame that ran both individual and team games, and the team games were far more interesting. Focus switches from cutthroat diplomacy to detailed cooperation....

Re: Eye of the Lord\'s best uses ...

With your starting Eye + warriors you can patrol your home territory and jack taxes up quite a bit - I've had it at ~150% with no unrest build-up yielding 240+ gold a turn. However, Growth 3 won't...

Re: Ermor balance?

I can definitely see how things might balance out later in the game, but it's the early going I'm more concerned about. If I had started next to him he could've overrun me fairly easily (like he did...

Re: Machaka game set up

One of the really nice things about Machaka is that you have a lot of flexibility in terms of magic. I'd have to second tinkthank's recommendation of magma eruption - it can really put enemies in a...

Good list. One addition comes to mind:
