Kristoffer's encouragement thread

First, please let me say that this game is incredibly cool! And I've just barely scratched the surface.

One thing that I did some across was that my Wyrm was afflicted with a 'limp' battle wound. I'm not sure if it is intentional to have limping Wryms. It's not like it 'lost an arm', but it does make me laugh when I try to come up with a mental picture of a limping Wrym.

I also wanted to say that this is the most complex turn-based strategy game I've ever played, and that its successful in that endeavor is a masterstroke. Any additional work done by the developers is just icing on the cake for us.

That being said, I'd pay another $40 if a diplomacy screen was implemented on par with Alpha Centauri (or even MOO, really).

Hi, I'm in the mood again. I have a one week easter break.

Finished last two days:

Tir na n'Og - Land of the Ever Young. Firbolg ruled by Tuatha.

Eriu - Last of the Tuatha
When men came (Man and the Milesians) the Tuatha withdrew. One part of their kingdom became Man. The lands conquered by the milesians became Eriu, a nation of humans, Fir Bolg and Sidhe.

I'm quite fond of the Malazan books. There is a vague reference to the T'lan Imass in the spell 'Hidden in Snow' and the unfrozen.

I will not make a nation based on the books, but I would love to see a mod on in that setting.

Oooh, I may start using Hidden in Snow just so I can pretend they're Imass. And this may be the motivation I need to take up modding--as soon as the semester's over.

This is just a bump to show Kristoffer O that we're still here

While I have been a long time player of dominions, the only encouragement i can give is, make dom IV, with some of the improvements and i will personally buy 3 copies!

Improved scripting for the mages, ie only using gems if scripted option, only casting offensive spells as an option, etc, and improved ai, not casting touch of madness on other mages and missile troops, alone would be enough for me to buy dom IV.

Sweet. Got some forwarning on the nation # they are assigned to? Is Eriu the Middle Age of Early Age Tir na n'Og?

What does that do to Fomoria? Still coming?

Wow! This is really exciting. Really looking forward to seeing them.

So I guess Tir na n'Og is EA, and Eriu is MA. So Tir na n'Og isn't called EA Man because it splits into both Man and Eriu?

What're Milesians?

Are Sidhe faeries in Dominions? Or something else?

All very exciting.

Kristoffer O · #10 April 4th, 2007, 05:35 PM

Sidhe are quite similar to the Vanir, an ancient magical race superior to men skilled in the use of glamour and illusions. It could be that they share the same ancestry.

Tir na n'Og do indeed split into Man and Eriu. Eriu being somewhat similar to the Last of Tuatha from dom2 with humans (milesians) ruled by reemerging Sidhe Lords.

Fomoria will emerge eventually. They too have Fir Bolg inhabitants, but will have some other more sinister allies as well.
