Re: The Bogarus Problem

They won't know they're your neighbor until *after* they create their god. Committing your nation to a blessrush on the off chance you *might* be next to Bogarus seems like a weak move - unless you...

Re: How often does an awakened god win?

Hmm... As stated, this won't really help assess their viability, because the data you get will be entangled with their popularity.

If you had comprehensive data on how many...

Re: Repel is broken.

Actually, the dragonflies land on the spear, but it's so sharp that it cuts them in half just from the force of their own weight. That's how the spear got its name, Tonbo-Giri (Dragonfly Cutter).

Re: Stacking bracelets for a eath bless

It seems to me that if you get more than one copy of the earth bless bonus, regardless of what you're wearing, it's a bug. It should be (and was almost certainly intended to be) 0-1 depending on...

Re: Patch notes

None of those are anything remotely like the Dominions "take on 500 men by yourself" SC. Well, maybe Superman *could* kill 500 men by himself, but he probably wouldn't. And if the 500 men were...

Re: Patch notes

Extending the turn limit without anything more will just prolong the problem (literally). However, this gives me an idea:

What if something nasty *did* start showing up after 50 turns? Like...

Re: or maybe....

Actually, I think some of them might as well be made EA/MA Oceania only - Atlantis and R'lyeh don't seem to need the help, or at least, not as much. And it might be more thematic for them to have...

Re: C\'Tis - Miasma, Question about cold blodded

If I recall correctly, seas are immune to Miasma. So you can give indie and site-based mages water-breathing items and park them in a sea lab for research/forging. A few will get diseased before...

Re: or maybe....

Actually USING Thetis Blessing (normal, the proposed reverse version, or the proposed 2-way version) makes you horribly vulnerable to having it dispelled, because whole armies of units (and possibly...

Wrath of the Sea (or for literal warming, Second Sun, but that's a fire spell for obvious reasons).


Partially duplicates Sea of Ice.


As a battlefield spell, it duplicates Cleansing Water;...

Re: New nations extremely well crafted and enjoyab

Yes, Tir na n'Og/Eriu and LA Pythium were already in Dom2 as special themes, so it was nice to see them again but that's probably why they didn't make the same kind of impression as Lanka, Fomoria,...

Re: Guide for Competitive Extreme MA Shinuyama

I think the Tengu are intended mainly for Jomon, but the other two eras have them (theoretically) for thematic reasons. They don't play much of a role unless you design your pretender to be able to...

Re: Best Researcher for LA Abysia ?

IMO, old Abysians' afflictions shouldn't depend on the growth scale, but on the heat scale - heat should reduce their affliction chance the way growth does for ordinary units, and cold should...

Re: Thoughts on making \"luck\" equally attractive

Well, that's the point - there's widespread opinion that misfortune isn't painful enough. Any bad event will hit a misfortune nation more often than it hits a luck nation (unless it's otherwise...

Re: refuting common wisdom on scales everybody kno

Yeah, but going up against Jotunheim or Caelum when *you* have Cold-3 and aren't even a cold-loving nation (and maybe not even a water magic using one) would be really harsh. Even in your dominion...

Re: Thoughts on making \"luck\" equally attractive

Not all events give an item, I don't think the lab size would necessarily be a problem there. (Although it still wouldn't hurt to raise it for people who want to play obscenely huge games.) Since...

Re: refuting common wisdom on scales everybody kno

That's not true at all. Indy attacks on turn n affect turn n+1 very obviously: you still don't have the province, unless you send an army to retake it. Buildings destroyed by an event remain...

Re: Thoughts on making \"luck\" equally attractive

It seems to me that the simplest way to adjust order/luck would be to raise the event per turn cap to an amount that is unlikely to be hit in the competitive stage of any game - say 50 events per...

Re: Let\'s Change Forts

I like the adding admin to PD idea - the whole amount is excessive, so what about adding half? Half admin would never be more than 30, which would rarely be more than the cost of the fort itself...

Re: Lords of Civilization

The Grigori, summoned normally, are *more* expensive than demon lords, with the same research and casting requirements... but at least you don't have to worry about having them poached off you.

Re: Quick Poll: Is the production scale weak?

One other possibility is just to play with a lower resource multiplier. Sloth hurts worse and productivity is less likely to be excess, for everyone. (Except nations that *really* never need...
