As my list of dead thugs in the HoF will attest to... this hasn't been an issue. Hope no scouts have witnessed Mictlan's feeble attempts to tame the Panish hoards. ...Plan "B".

Helheim has played extremely well with his uber-artifact army and raiding mitigation system. Hats off to clever and ballsy tactics! If I learn nothing else this game it is how freakishly tough blessed/lucked Helhirdings are.

Yup, that will slow sans down a lot.

He can then commit 99% of his 49 provinces against my 9 and after I am finished go and finish Pan of bringing his total province count to 61 with the next closest at 24.....lol. Actually its more like 8 provinces for me as rain of toads has closed down my capital.

How do I know he can commit 99% of his forces against me, because I KNOW I am the only non AI player fighting him.

Then once I and Pan are conquered, I estimate, 10 turns max, he can pick off any single nation he likes.

Meanwhile you guys enjoy your petty fights whilst they last, which won't be too long after my nation is conquered.

Oh and with Pan AI, who is to say it doesn't decide to send its chaff against another player other than Sans....had that happen in another game recently. That will make his forth coming victory even swifter.

I have already promised Sans I will fight him to the end, as I always do (unlike some), but just before my death I'll bequeath him my gems and magic items....which includes, both Hammers, Sickle Crop, Konhells Tome, Tome of Gia, Chalice and many other delights.

Okay, I have no problem setting Pan to AI, but I'm relatively far removed from the struggle so I've been hesitating to weigh in directly.

Is anyone really really against this, to the point where it would ruin their gaming experience?

Playing Dom3 with HD is like going to the toy store to pick up Christmas presents for the kids.... And realizing.... Everything's gone!

Yeah my big stumbling block in trying to be 1/2 decent in Dom 3 is overcoming my natural tendency to like SC's and Artifacts. I have never been into spell casting that much.

I am still not there yet, but getting better.

Heh, personally I fear SCs and artifacts the most. I have little idea how to counter them usually. Which is why I completely detest Helheim and their easy forging and super research.

Ugh, sorry for the delay. If no-one raises an objection within around 15 hours, I'm going to set Pan as AI and get this show on the road.

Unsure if will let you because of your key. Usually hosts post for a "please set someone AI" volunteer.
