Skeleton war edition
Previous Thread >>165430595

Dominions is a fantasy turn-based war game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.

The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 2800 units, 800 spells and 300 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously, with players planning battles rather than directly controlling them.

It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.

Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a war game.

Of course it will.

q: arco has a noticeable lack of thug worthy troops. What do I do to fix this? Summons?

What should I summon to give arco thugs? Still too early for golem.
>>
>>165749090
A troll or something maybe? I never play arco myself but I always got the impression that they were all about communions rather than thugging.
>>
>>165749090
Why do you think you need thugs?
>>
>>165749176
from where I see see it game armies consists of three types of unit, late age supermagic nonwithstanding:

1. dudes, that either provide bodies or strategic tactics ie flyers
2. casters, that make dudes drop a little faster and can kill thugs if pelted with enough magic
3. thugs, that cannot be killed by regular dudes

I have right now plenty of first and third and a complete lack of the second.

>>165749214
because otherwise I have to send my entire army to combat their thugs as neither chaff nor offensive casters can kill them by themselves.

if you have sneaky dudes like vanheim and TNN, this is a problem.
>>
>>165749548

You're thinking of magic duel. You really don't want to use mind hunt vs astral.
>>
>>165749723
Naw man mindhunt works on anyone. You are thinking of magic duel.
>>165749781
Isnt one of arcos things that they can mindhunt sort of recklessly because they have healers that can fix them if they fuck up?

You will get subpar thugs for retarded amount of gems. Is it diversity you are seeking?

No, that sounds more like innovation than diversity to me.

>>165753506
A way to stop enemy thugs mid game without fielding my entire army.

Enemy's strategy seems to be centered on self buffs only. If I counter their thugs, they will have a hard time resisting my advance. however, given arco's military set up, I don't have access to proper thugs and my mages are one script change from death if I send them on their own.

Otherwise i'm stuck with taking one province at a time and they can get them back with no problems because they completely counter my PD.

I could cast basic as fuck spells specially designed to kill in melee and turn my mages into class cannons, but that would require spending mystics
>>
>>165754053
Mystics are good antithugs. They actually have a variety of things that deal with thugs well. A few mystics + buddyguards handle thugs fine.
>>
>>165754571
Please elaborate
>>
>>165754571
Even lowly starfire is decent against thugs since it is 2 x 5+ AN with precision bonus.

of course it can, newfriend

If memory serves some afflictions like Feeblemind and Unhealing Wound have a significantly lower chance of getting healed.

>>165750350
Any affliction can be healed by greek sex magic
>>
>>165754980
I'll take it into account. I'm not entirely sure it would work, sending casters alone strikes me as easily counterable, but well, I have both spare mystics and spare troops.

Ultiamtely it all boils down to researching either alt 5 for anti thug or sum 5 for magical commanders. I guess i'l do both in time. Question is, which one do i got for right now.

>solar rays

I've spammed that spell a few times, I think I've saw it hit something... 2 times.
>>
>>165756178
>sending casters alone strikes me as easily counterable
your infantry is cheap and disposable, you can easily spare a few blockers

>I think I've saw it hit something... 2 times.
you must be talking about another spell, solar rays pretty much never misses (+100 precision); it works only vs undead creatures though
>>
>>165756543
>your infantry is cheap and disposable, you can easily spare a few blockers

I mean, sending casters alone with any kind of arco infantry that generally drops like flies strikes me as easily counterable.

>you must be talking about another spell, solar rays pretty much never misses (+100 precision);

ooh you are right. What was the name of the other spell, the one that's a weaker thunder strike
>>
>>165756543
100 precision is autohit.

>>
>>165779491
You'd be better off using blessed white centuar.

Or unblessed normal centaurs. Or revelers. Possibly the other units too, but I can't say for certain.

Minotaurs aren't even your 3rd best option. And when other nations see you doing that they see fresh meat to feed on (Given its turn 8 in your game you should have around 12ish provinces by this point on Pan, possibly more).
>>
>>165779984
I don't see why minotaur are worse then centaurs
>>
>>165780134
All of their stats.
>>
>>165780372
compared to cost?
>>
>>165780134
Basically in every single way that matters.
The +9/+10 (if you for some fucking reason didn't take W9 like every Pan should) to +14 DeF if you did, is especially noticeable. If you think they're around even, I'm guessing the Minotaurs got you to 12 or so provinces by turn 8 or so (barring bumps into other players, though you should usually win those).
>>
>>165780431
Sure.

The root of it is that ea minos die much more easily than centaurs, and aren't really much killier.

>>165779984
While pan has good expansion, 12 provinces in 8 turns on arachaea is completely unrealistic.
>>
>>165780431
>compared to cost
That just makes it favor the nonsacred centaur more - because they're cheaper. White Centaur are so much better blessed that the 5-15 gold cost difference doesn't even come close.

Yeah, pretty much. They're situationally useful, but don't count on them doing any serious damage. They also tend to die really fast because of fatigue.

Actually, you can fit an icarid into a square with a pegasus, which helps their awful attack density a bit. Still, dying whenever a random fireball lands nearby is super embarassing.

How many castings of rain of stones will kill infinity N9 Zhayedans? Asking for a friend ;)
>>
>>165789418
not enough
>>
>>165789889
Assuming one caster, how many turns will it take? I have no shortage of E gems
>>
>>165789418
With 20 prot the RoS is only going to ever deal any damage with at least one roll of 6, and that's before the protection roll.

Use another spell. I've luckily never had to do it but my theory is that you have to straight up use anti-thug spells against crazy sacreds like that. Soul Slay, Frozen Heart, and the like.
>>
>>165790179
Never discount the magic of exploding dice but a single Rain caster would effectively never kill any amount of Zhayedans in 50 turns. Not even taking into account N9 or the fact that they can just instantly kill him on their first turn.

Eventually you're going to be having non-cap forts, which means either Emites or Rephaites. 50% of Emites are pretty useful, but the other half is trash. Rephaites at least have a guaranteed 2 in something, 1/3 of them in Earth. That said, haven't played them too much, so YMMV.

lesson learned with birds: never attack big armies directly, they are too weak.

>>165782792
Also, protips: Don't prophet your thugs unless you intend to use them defensively; the HP malus in enemy dominion reduces their effectiveness. Bane blades are not as good as fire brands, which you have easy access to. Boots of the Behemoth are shit unless your thug is size 6, a size 3 trampler like your Troll King couldn't run over my dudes and cause enough damage. The ring of fire should have been replaced with a shock resistant item like a storm spool, unless it was mistformed spire horns that killed it in which case lol idk, kill the fog warriors caster before he gets to that point? And the bear claw talisman should have been replaced by a reinvig item. Furthermore, Troll Kings work way better as super casters, rather than thugs, since they're expensive and putting them in danger really hurts you. Your rainbow's bless is also pretty lackluster, another reason to not prophet your thugs.

Morale-reducing thingies are great, especially if you have dudes with fear on the front lines. Ever tried casting wailing winds? Yeah.

Frighten doesnt check MR but at 12 Morale your unit still has to fail its check (which is already easier when it's a solo thug and likely surrounded)

>>
>>165851013
NAP? we aint at war!
I mean, I dont want you to come barging with your filthy sacreds
I wish you could keep vanheim and TC busy, but I know you cant

Let me rephrase, a NAP will do you no good, I cant actually invade you and by the time the NAP ends I will be ended

You can:
a) Let your imperialistic urges run free and just take my shit
or
b) Send humanitary help

I want you to fuck Ulm over (and over and over) and in the meantime go straight to elfland


Please just don´t sneak attack my borders, it was sad enought the pinkmen did that, giving me my capring province and later just invading me, chinks are really mischievous

I am not completely defeated yet, I can start a slow descent


With all that said, I agree with a NAP, yes sir, please sir.

I was clearly in the lead on most fronts but not the one area I needed a lead in

without Jotun Wolves and Vine Shields I cant do shit at this point in the game outside of blood armies

ideally I would have had the Mother Oak 10 turns ago when you got it one turn ahead of me and then I would've had both of those things before this war started.

Gotta say, I really like your Jotun Werewolf thugs!
The Brand+Shield, along with their natural regen and your bless from the shroud really makes them tough. I've got no idea how to counter them tbqh, but Imma throw some shit at them and see what sticks. And thanks for the advice about the palisades.
>>
>>165855712
they're sub-optimal right now because no vine shields; but I pretty much just followed a guide and pumped enough gems into them to compensate for it

Skittle thugs can get by with just a brand and a vine shield; what I have is vast overkill and outright wasteful

But fucking effective. Also, I feel like if you wanted to go hard into wolves, N9W9 would have been better. As it stands, you're probably better off using those N gems you stole from Wet pan for shields, since, once again, I can't counter those thugs easily.
>>
>>165856289
W9 is a mass bless not a thug bless; it causes fatigue death on everything other than undead

E4 is so popular because it makes lots of thugs fatigue stable

Attention Ermor: Don't mind the attack, it was for the sake of the Kin-Breaker narrative (though my aim failed and my prophet survived). I'll be withdrawing now, with nothing lost on your side.

>>165856289
A W9 bless is sub-optimal for Werewolf thugs because they have water access and can cast quickness/quicken self very easily which does the same thing as the W9 bless (actually better I think because you get 2 attacks every turn instead of every other).

And like >>165856449 the E4 helps with fatigue so generally a N9/E minor bless is all you need for Werewolves with brands and vine shields.

Also when you're trying to counter them I would suggest focusing on what you can do with your mages to get them rather than your troops. You should have some air spells that will do the job.

>>165862836
nah for Jotun Wolves W9E9 is better; they dont have the raw health for N9 to be great and they dont have native regen to stack it

W9NX is just the basic awoo~ bless

in any case both are much better on Jotunheim/Urd because Glosos come into play and massed sacred armies can be truly immense

I guess I should expect it for playing nations for the first time ever on a BPEM. I just really didn't know how to expand and recruit efficiently. Maybe the start fucked me up, I don't know.

I'll see how long I can make it last.
>>
Would anyone be interested in a bad nations, bad pretenders game? Like, not dom1, no scales, no paths crone bad, but stuff that's otherwise pretty useless, but you make it work like a 3 path Titan super caster as a vanilla MA Xibalba pretender.
>>
>>165866840
We won't attack you unless you give us a reason. And one of the virtues most closely held by the Orlanthi is generosity, so talk to me and maybe I can assist you!

Would EA Ulm fit that bill or is its early expansion too strong?
>>
>>165866893
That'd be pretty fun. OneAge games don't work on llama, though, and we might have a problem finding 12 really bad nations in a single age.

>>165867156
Firstly, it'd probably be an all ages game
Secondly, vanilla with maybe WH and BetterArena
Thirdly, I haven't much experience with EA Ulm, but they probably fit the bill
>>165867475
Could do what CoolStory did with Skeleton War and make a mod with all the bad nations in MA

A little advice: Outside of a few matchups, it's very hard to actually finish someone off in the early game. Even if you've given up on winning (and you shouldn't, there's plenty of game left and Dominions is chaotic) you can certainly make sure the person that first attacked you ends up losing the game.

Unless you're RPing a suicidal dude without the chops to be a God.

>Don't. They're bad.
I wouldn't say bad but I wouldn't take a major bless for them. Deeper water access isn't a terrible thing for Arco though. Lots of mages can do fun stuff with it with some boosts and who knows, you might even be able to rush vengeful waters or something.
>>
>>165882304
I'm not taking a 10% hit on my income so i can have a vanity pretender. Erfsnake has no offense.

Tien Ch'i, that concentration of amphibian forces on our border looks almost like you want to pick a fight.

Fucking Ermor sounds like the most boring nation to play ever. All it is is skelespam forever, and thats boring enough on C'tis, and at least THEY have N.
>>
>>165882554
They are bad, though. 65g and 30r for 2 (two) low damage attacks per square isn't good. After a charge (65g/30r for a single light lance attack!) they're unable to kill any decent troops and tend to die overwhelmed and fatigued.
They're your best option for raiding (you need priestesses with flying boots though, if you want to take advantage of your bless), but in a regular battle they're very underwhelming.
Unless you decide to meme it up and give them a tribless.

The most cookie cutter of all is T-strike spam.

He's never stalled and while he's always one of the last he's not always THE last.

as long as they don't stall there is no reason to kick him out. Subbing someone out because they are the last to take their turn is the most retarded thing ever.

If you want scales buy scales.

>>
>>165892659
It's dramatically different from both of those games. Figuring out the basics is easy (Civ level) but figuring out how to play WELL is definitely on the higher end for three reasons -
1) Pretender design makes strategy really front-loaded, so if you don't know what you're doing before the game starts, you make the whole game harder for yourself
2) Scripting armies has a huge amount of depth and the game is very poorly documented, so you'll see the most experienced / best scripters still test stuff to figure out how it even works (and the devs forgot how they coded Fear) and you can spend as much time as you want working out how to make your armies actually fight effectively
3) Multiplayer features a lot of diplomacy, so figuring out who's going to help fight against who has to be a major part of any grand strategy

>>165893343
He was also done before marvani and arco last turn.
>>
>>165893214
That's only an excuse if turns are taking around eight hours or less. When it's been twelve hours, whether you're sleeping or at work you should have had an opportunity to take a turn. The other fourteen players did it fine, and I guarantee you there's representatives of at least three continents in that number.

I'll wait to discuss kicking him after he stales. Before that I think I'll just stick to regular turn bullying.
>>
>>165892659
I'd put it at slightly less complex than Civ IV (the last I played).

The tactics are - well, Civ IV didn't really have them very much, if at all - which is the big change. Civ IV's complexity was all about managing at the grand strategical and empire building level, with some strategic maneuvering of troops and essentially 0 tactics.

Dominions has essentially 0 empire building (the closest is 'breaking' into all the other magic paths), around the same level of strategic movements, and a vastly, vastly, vastly larger tactical basis.

>>
>>165876371
you mean like just sitting at the computer waiting for the next turn or what? is it just everyone sitting down and taking turns until the game ends or is it a "come back throughout the day whenever the next turn is ready?"

and for that matter, what are some other good communities i can scope out for dom4 pbem and blitz?
>>
>>165894919
Blitz is the former, the latter situation would be more like a very fast PBEM.

There are no other good communities besides this one. There's no good communities including this one either. But besides here for PBEM and /v/anheim for blitz, there's clockwork forest, which is a blitz community that I've heard both negative and positive unconfirmed rumors about, and there's dom4mods which does PBEM but is generally too high level for a new player.

It's really not, honestly. They have a better time calibrating games to the same player level since domg runs open games while their not-anon games self sort by experience, but they're by no means elitist.

Drop by Dom4 discord or /v/anheim's steam chat or here, if you're okay with that and ask for a few basic tips on how the nation you're picking should be played.

A most peculiar tribal people was discovered on the outskirts of our kingdom today. Sroel the local Avitte Tribal commander reported that they wore Leather knitted armor and similar red tinted clothing that matched the robes of the ba'al council. Sroel Reported that when they approached these strange humans they spook a very strange garbled language that even or ancient writings passed down by the watchers had no records of. The only thing we were able to decipher was the nation for name; "T'ien Ch'i", and only because local mercenaries in their employ passed on this information after a good faith donation was made to their group.

Sadly it seems negotiations will be impossible with the tribal people in any form what so ever.

The check seems to have lowered to 11 (i.e. nature magic path DOES affect it). However, 11 seems really low. That's only ~60% chance on 10MR guys, and vine shield seems much more effective than that.

noob here, I've got a significant logistics problem.
It's spring of year 6, and I'm playing MA Ulm.
I'm recruiting troops for roughly 2.5k resources each turn, but getting them to the front takes forever.
Is there any (practically feasible or otherwise) way to quicken up the transportation, or do I simply have to suck up the 1 map move speed of my units?

pic related, it's current map with circles around known capitals of Pangea, Arcoscephale, Argatha and Machaka.
Bandar Log has claimed the two unscouted thrones, so they're probably in there somewhere.

You could try, you know, magic. Forest to Forest spell, Walking Through Underworld spell and Gateway. But considering the combination of noob, MA Ulm and year 6 you might've not paid too much attention to certain paths that enable those things. You should definitely look up the spells matching those descriptions and work towards gaining the paths for them.

>You should recruit your shit close to the front
What should I do with all the unspent gold, then?
More castles would seem like a solid choice, but the massive delay (6-7 turns) in construction is somewhat off-putting.

>flying shoes
How would I get the necessary air magic? Master smiths only have 20% for air1, and I don't have the earth gems to spare for forge of the ancients.
Then there's of course the air gems necessary for making at least a few boots.

>>165921224
What you're suggesting is pretty deep into non-native paths.
Aside from a pretender designed with it in mind, how would I best go about getting into those paths?
Would the various independent (wolf, deer) shamans be sufficient?

>Forest to Forest
Can't find it. Might be from a mod.

>Walking Through Underworld
Stygian Paths? Tooltip describes it as a somewhat dangerous spell.
How many casualties would an army expect? Are there any ways of applying stealth to an entire army, so that I can reduce said casualties? Will army report size modifiers work?

>Gateway/Astral Travel
Should work. However, it's my impression that it'll only affect troops directly under the spellcaster's command.
With master smiths at a disappointing 45 leadership, I'd probably need command-boosting items too.

Ench 3 -> Conj 4 -> Cons 4 -> Alt 4 then whatever
You want Conj 4 up for Brood of Garm, Jotun Wolves are amazing even without a great bless.
Search lots of nature for that btw; I recommend an N3D1B1 or N2D2B1 Gygja for searching, S1N2D1B1s are usable but you're probably not gonna get any Astral sites off them so you may as well take something better

Now I see why the admin named this game autistic RP game.

Rule number one of roleplaying, never try to justify what you do in character in an OOC fashion. You do what you feel fit IC, and don't let anyone else(except perhaps your GM) tell you otherwise.

>>165926090
Pretty sure they are talking about a different game now m8.
>>
>>165926073
According to this spreadsheet I'm looking at it's worthwhile to search Wasteland and Swamps a second time with level 3 mages; or even to use searching spells on them. They're most likely to have Level 3/4 sites.
>>
>>165925958

They can construct stuff when not insane. There's no insanity action for building stuff, and to the best of my knowledge destroying things is only Shattered Soul, not Insanity.

I managed to get to his cap a couple turns earlier after seeing his expansion been smashed into 3 A1 indie mages (meanwhile his e6 erfsnake was taking the grand detour to my island)
I then went by sea with my wyrm, I surrounded his cap and then lost my god and my army in the cap PD (and some units). It was most unfortunate
All the while he sent me messages claiming he was not expecting my treachery (sic)
Anyway, I sent a fomorian king and som fomorian bros to navigate and take the island.
In my stale turn I would have sent the king to raid him, but instead he stood aloof because stale amirite, he threw his E6 snake (cant emphatyze this enough, e6 awake tnn?) and my one-eyed-cocks slew the beast
That is about it now
nothing exciting

Did you know that your god is weaker in hostile dominion? I don't know why domg keeps trying to use it for deep attacks in enemy dominion- this only works for gods that can fly in, and it's not like non-sc expanders can really handle decent armies anyways, let alone at a -50% HP malus

why isnt he using the iceclads?
would it make a diff?

That wasnt it
It was RNG mrl scores
I am well aware of dominions hp bonus/loss
It was a calculated gamble
It wasnt -50% and wyrm is pretty buff.
I may have messed the scripting
At a strategic level, I was better off tiyng his cap ASAP
And have you looked at the map? It isnt that much of a deep strike

for the same resource cost he'd get 19 iceclads and because they'd be more heavily outnumbered they'd probably flee just as fast

Oh and Cons 4/Alt 4 is for Skratti Thugs
Craft Frost Brands and Vine Shields for them along with a Shroud of the Saint; make sure they're in their werewolf mode before battle (change shape is a overworld map command you can give) or they'll shapeshift and drop items and then script them to cast liquid body and breath of winter if you feel like it. Quickness for them is a trap unless you have high reinvigoration from an E9 bless or something

And pick up Thaumaturgy 1 for Frighten if war breaks out, it alone can make enemies not immune to morale damage quit the field
>>

How about take your turn before going to bed then? You don't sleep literally twelve hours a day, do you?

>You don't sleep literally twelve hours a day, do you?

>>165930718

Quicken Self's managable with 4 reinvig, although 5 is ideal because then they can gain it back while fighting. If you're running a more conventional E4N9, then that's doable with a set of five gem boots.

Personally I like that and a Flesh Eater. A berserk tireless jotun werewolf that regens 12 HP per turn is really, really fucking difficult to put down. There are counters of course, but many of them can be at least mitigated with an Antimagic Amulet, and they also tend to be counters that mean you aren't scripting to deal with a mage supported army. A couple Skratti on the flanks of your main forces can make a major difference.

really stupid question: when doing new turns, do i need to delete any of the old filesi n the savegame folder of the match? i assume i just tell which is the right 2h file to turn in based on modified date.
>>
>>165932950
nevermind you delete the old one, it was renamed with a (1) when i downloaded it. think im good now.
>>
>>165932950
Just overwrite the .trn file. .2h file will be overwritten automatically when you do a new turn.

It's not a grammar issue, it's a you're-an-imbecile issue.
>>
>>165933103
>>165933095
How do you people review your old turns? Just make a new folder for each turn in your game and archive old anything older than the last few turns.

You do review your old turns, right? There's a lot of useful intel in there if you're paying attention. I suppose you could also be an effective note taker but that seems even harder to me.

Summod or not summod? Summod Abysia already gets a pretty sizable amount of buffs.

I just look back at my notes for the old turns. Way faster and there's rarely anything important that I miss that way. If I do need to reference the turn itself, I find the email in the archive and re-download it. That's rare enough that the added step to the process is less hassle than archiving turn files locally would be.

Time to AI. Since the birdmen was busy removing me from the map, which I somehow managed to survive, mostly, but now Oceania joined in and there is no hope for me getting out of this one.

Nah, it's ok. I mean its inevitable that someone has to win the game and you will go to war with everyone later on, if they don't concede the thrones to you. My cards are on you or Mictlan, because you guys weren't involved in most of the conflicts we had. Mictlan was especially sheltered. I had a position of power but ultimately was screwed over by my late game magic related noobishness. Although it seems that EA Ulm is really not much of a late game nation. At least from my noob perspective. Great game nevertheless.

Straight up HP rout. The line held, but it wasn't nearly enough.

I'm not so much cutting nations as I am cutting certain nations from certain eras.

I think part of the reason dominions is so inaccessible to people is because there is so much data to sift through. (And you got to admit, there IS a lot of redundancy)
>>
>>165959267
The nations are a pretty small part of that compared to the massive spell catalog and lowering the potential selection is going to make it less attractive, not more.

did you get mindblasted there mate?

I think you could probably stay in; Birds are about to be forced off your southern front one way or another cause they're losing their western front too hard and need to support there

I understand the annoyance of fighting an UW nation when landlocked but I really think you should stay on at least until your last fort gets sieged; and after all as EA Ulm you get forest/mountain recruitment to bolster that anyway.

I can chuck you some earth boots if you have Evo 6 for Magma Eruption; and dont forget you have an enemy you can earthquake now.

It's superfluous to everything else going on. None of the Aboleth appear again, their main characterization is "waiting for the meteor", and they occupy the same newcomer niche as Atlantis. They are fun but they could seriously be reduced to some indie attack events without compromising anything that happens later.

>>165966348
Ermor teaches you how to diplo. Which is by far the most important skill.
>>
>>165967731
You border me on like one province lel
>>
>>165968176

>>
>>165968124
/domg/ is stupid enough to fuck up their diplomacy without help

this is one of the stupidest polls I've seen in a long time

>>165968597
There's not even any questions about straws!

Jeesus.
I'm one of those people who likes taking acid and watching the smurfs. That would just fuck me up so bad, playing lemmings all high on shrooms then BAM!

Why was this battle declared a defeat?

battle replay bug
>>
>>165969412
Elaborate.
>>
>>165969893
Sometimes for various reasons like an incompatibility between mod versions a battle plays out differently on Llamaserver than on your PC.
>>
>>165969893
what happens when you watch the battle replay, especially if you did it through llamaserver (since they uses linux to run the servers and most people use windows) isn't what actually happened. the True result is what you see in the battle report
>>
>>165969990
>>165970035
Does that still apply to singleplayer vanilla games?
I imagined the relationship between replay and report would be reverse; that the replay is defacto, and the report is just a summation of what happened.
>>
>>165970318
the report is always the final authority unfortunately
>>
>>165970318
A single player game uses your computer as the server, so the replay will always be correct.

Wyrm? Please tell me you went for Morrigan Bless simultaneously with awake. If you did you're my hero.

tips for MA shinuyama? looks kinda neat, what should i do for pretender design and whatnot?
>>
>>165972290
Well, the god is asleep now.
>>
>>165971313
Then I shouldn't experience things like >>165969297
Victory according to replay, defeat according to report and army was moved out of province as if defeated.

>when you realize you forgot to put heat on your pretender and it's fucking you

>when you take Heat on riverlands

I fucked up bad
>>
>>165973405
It's an advantage defensively and with water access you can cool your shit before you move.
>>
>>165967731
I wasnt saying you'd attack Ermor; just that 6/8 is enough to be a worry
>>
>>165973405
hurts in expansion phase
helps in the cooldown/first war
>>
>>165974151
>>165973501
it helps that my first opponent was ermor and he fucked up somehow as ermor. Breaking into D as eriu is pretty surreal though
