Not all the royalty. All the fire kings, including the king of banefires, is hanging out in my hot hot dominion. They must have heard about our open bar and feather clad Mictlan girls.

Also, one additional comment. Nether Darts... Really?! Indy, Jim, and my Housemate should start a 'We Heart Nether Dart" club. That kind'a spam don't belong on my plate. Don't get me wrong, it's a great spell, and it works great against indies and the unprepared, but really? Its resistible with an MR check and is parried by air shield. Sigh.


Edit: Weird you should say that. Most of my territories and my former territories have heat 3. I took heat 2 and it's early summer.

Eh. It's a choice between Darts, Star Fires, and Frighten for my Communion Slaves. I'm not too concerned about what they do. You'll notice my Communion Masters don't touch Nether Darts. ; )

And yes, heat scale comment rescinded. I was looking at the wrong provinces. Lack of sleep and all that.

Don't rest, play more Dominions! Then in a sleep deprived haze a week from now, rise up screaming, "Why god, why?!" as your empire crumbles!

It could happen.

And I do <3 Nether Darts. It's devastating if you don't have easy access to Arrow Fend. Next game I will make sure to make better use of it earlier in the game, when my opponent is less likely to be ready for it. Besides..... Surgical Mind Blasting solves that whole problem, at least that's what I hear! <3

Someone just taught me a new trick with R'lyeh in another game, so I'm going to see if there's still time to leverage it here, I think so, but we'll see. I just wish I had an easy solution to 600 Longdead Horse. I mean sure, one stack is fine, but 600 here, 600 there, some Air Queens, some Earth Kings..... Where do I start? It's like a crunchy buffet full of ill prepared pufferfish.

I signed in to appologize for my later-then-usual submission. I myself have been dealing with scripting horror and just wanted to take an evening off from Dominions. However it seems I shouldn't feel too bad as you guys weren't waiting on me alone anyhow. I should be good for one turn per day for the next few days.

In regards to dealing with hordes of longdead, comunion banishment spam isn't that bad of a tactic for you. Their MR is low and I'm sure their getting an MR penalty from your dominion. Also, banishment is nearly fatigueless, so your masters and slaves can do it all day long. Cast water ward (underwater only) in order to deflect more of his lance blows.

The alturentive is using a battlefield damage spell that your army can survive.

I think it's official, we need a delay of game as Jim only has 3 hours left to submit. If he stales then I vote we roll the turn back. Though that wouldn't be optimal as that might give the other two players time to rethink there turns after seeing the result. I don't think we would want that.

No I'll be submitting. Forgive me if I feel a bit overwhelmed by the massiveness of the whole thing. Been having a rough few days, so it;s just been hard to focus that hard on one thing. I have 90 minutes left by my clock, should be fine.

Well! What an eventful turn that was. Or at least, what an incredible battle that was. I was very shocked when the AI decided to drop Shimmering Fields - I've honestly never seen that spell fire off, it was beautiful, even if I'd hope for a more spectacular effect.

I bet the Air mage surprised you altogether, I only got her a few turns ago, and had 200 Air gems laying around, so I got to Empowering, she's neato.

I gotta say though..... Leprosy? That is WAY overpowered. Yeah it doesn't kill anyone, but for what, 10 gems? It is diseasing 150-200 men per cast, and even hits 17-20 MR commanders with fair regularity, that's kind of messed up. If I didn't have the Gift Of Health that I robbed from you, that spell alone would have totally won the game for you, as it is it makes me wait in my dominion to get "better", but obviously I can't wait much, because more piles of bones appear every day. < sigh >



How are you faring, AOE? I don't much see Mictlan anymore, which is a bit disconcerting - I know you don't have an ocean to hide in.
