A general inquiry about Dom 3 gaming habits.

I like stealth, and large tactics. So I like to play extremely large maps.

I like assassins.

Which is a problem, since I pretty much always play Caelum.

well, seraphines with black hearts are assassins.

And caelums just rolling in blood slaves arent they

Have to say that I like the small 45 province map (Silent Seas) to test out a nation, and try out some strategies. Afterwards, if I enjoy the playstyle of that nation, I prefer 250-300 province maps, with 10 AI games for a longer game.

I tend to lean towards kitted thugs/SC's over bless/armies.

I mostly play:
small random map - because I like things simple and easily manageable
6 Mighty AI opponents - because I am a masochist type of a person and I enjoy losing the game after a hard fight. I'm also steadily improving and it will be good fun when I'll win.
Always try a different facion - I like variety

I set some my opponents to play human, medieval-type factions because I enjoy fighting humans much more than monsters. I also like to set my opponents to be 'in character' for my faction, for example if I play Utgard then Midgard will be amongst my opponents.

I enjoy using large armies of good troops and experimenting with thugs and SC's. I like to go a different way in every game. In some, I'll be all SC's, in others i'll use chaff+wizards, in others I'll summon trolls.

I play Parganos against 7 impossible AIs in single player. The favorite setup
with my friends is Parganos with 4-5-6 players. (That's how many of us there are)
On here, I look for games with less than 10 players, with no more than 15-20
province per player.

I laughed hard.

For a Mod, you seems to be very active in forum likewise.

Anyway, you guys are interesting gamers.
Celestial Goblyn's "Roleplaying" style opponent setting is a good one.I do the same, with Playing R'Lyeh against Atlantis and Oceania.
