War of Dominion - Early Ages (Game Over)

[llamabeast]

Yeah, it doesn't really matter, but the obvious thing to use would be "War of Dominion - Early Ages: Noobie Game (started)".

[Nikolai]

Well guys, I think I am beaten before starting.

I have five neighbors. Two have 5+ elephants, other three have 20+ heavy horse each, and assorted infantry. I got hit with two unrests on turn 2... and it will take me two-three turns to break out.

I think I'll go AI soon. There is no point unless I get some luck my way.

Nikolai, are you a noobie? Not trying to be rude, just asking.

[Janlm]

hehe, isn't this supposed to be a noob game?

[Hiker]

oh stay in. You will have more braggin rights if ya win!

Yeah, but for example people don't like to follow the rules, like me. I am a veteran dominions player and so I did not follow the rules of "noobs only"

Nikolai, to deal with your elephant infestation, you have to use your brain a little more.

-Armor doesn't help much against elephants. Recruit a large army of cheap units.
-Elephants have low armor. They are easily killed by lots of small units.
-Independent armies with elephants should have a small force. If you have fast-moving units, recruit them, put them at the front left and set to attack rearmost. Units don't even have to be fast sometimes.
-Archers should be set to fire at archers.

You started a newbie game for you to be in and you're not even a newbie? That's, er, unusual.

[lebarjack]

Well, I am not really a newbie too. Or at least I was not two years ago, when I was playing Dominion 2.
Considering how Vanheim slaughtered my poor Pythium troops in my last & first dom3 multiplayer game, I guess I deserve to be a newbie again ^^
