Default I\'ve lost that loving feeling - need subs


I've suddenly lost the urge to play dominions. Unfortunately I've got 4 games running right now that at least 2 of which need subs. These would be replacement subs and not temporary subs.

If I don't hear from anyone in the next day or so I'll pass these off to the moderators and do what I can to continue the turns in the meantime.

I've just had my first kid, work is crazy and I find myself doing my turns half-arsed right at the deadlines. I've even staled a few times and haven't been that sad.

I have 4 games going, that could all use subs.

Not dead yet, but in a slump. Made some bad scale choices, but did well initially. Research is meh, army size is good but bad quality, a few SCs and a pretty tough SC god. Being heavily attacked but holding them off for now.

Game is pretty much over, definitely into the late game. Might be fun to play with a pretty stacked nation. Turns are taking a long time, lots going on. Might be ended via consensus.

Doing very well, good army size, great bless, great hero, good land size. Poor scales are just now starting to be a problem. Should be a really fun game

Doing very well (top 5-10 in most graphs), recently took a downturn due to apathy. Possibly still recoverable if diplomatic. Recently started a war which is going so-so, possibly about to be attacked by another. Still have great resources and lots of potential, not worth shutting the lights off just yet. Diplomacy would be the key here, I just haven't been able to be bothered.

Remember people....
Subbing is a great way to get a taste for multiplayer games. If you lose then you have a ready excuse. "It wasnt a nation I usually play and it wasnt a god/scales that I chose" so no one can give you a hard time. (not that it happens much anyway but Im just saying that you have a safety answer if it does happen).
And if you DO win then you get to crow extra loud.

I think Epic Heroes will be the most fun, it takes a blah nation and gives it an extra bit of punch. It will be interesting to see how they morph from early/mid game to mid/late game. I've got GoH and Mother up, so slight advantage there. The western nations are making their moves though, and the water nations are essentially just waiting to attack. If it was me, I wouldn't want to attack me either

Perpetuality is really a tossup, will still be fun and depending on the diplomacy could be very fun.

Mid_unlucky I'll try to shut down, and newbies won't hurt from going AI.
