Order 3, misfortune 1 is my baseline for most nations. I'll go misfortune 2 when I really need the points, but sometimes that backfires, like in Antlion where the Shattered Throne is next to my cap, turning everything into misfortune 3. I think I've had to fight off more than a dozen attacks from barbarians and undead so far.

jBrereton posted:It actually works great with order, too. You get a lot of high-gold events, and even though the random event chance is slightly reduced, the quality of them makes up for it. Luck + Order also has a bunch of free +PD events and at least one free +fort event, that said high order does also contain the 'the people grow tired of your oppressive rule, lose a province!' event which is kind of sucky. But yeah Luck in general is A Good Thing.

"Noob" status is a little nebulous but it's at least like three games, maybe 4-5 if you spent those three just getting your poo poo pushed in or 1000 games if you are Neruz.

I recently got up to second place in a normal game, so if you ever see my name listed in a newbie-game, you can simply assume my stressful life finally made me snap and go insane. As long as someone doesn't reach that lofty peak of incompetence, they'll qualify. I, on the other hand, will never be a newbie again. I'm not Neruz, you could say.

Made a small mod that should remove upkeep costs from all researchable spell summoned creatures. It also makes the various Yomi troops summonable by Yomi, like they are by Shinuyama and Jomon.

Hey here's a request. The Cataclysm mod is pretty drat fun, I love how every game you play with it is random as hell and you never know what mages and troops you'll find in those first 10-15 turns which will shape your game. However it's kind of out of date with the last few patches, especially having no sites that allow recruitment from the Xibalba or Nazca factions. I also figure there could be a lot more sites allowing recruitment or summons of a lot of the special nation specific units. Would anybody with modding experience be interested in updating the mod to include more of the most recent additions to the game?

Elmokki actually did this. I have the latest rev which was updated like 12/2014 because he's a machine. Once piggypoopballs is over I will host another though if people want to start before that, I am not the sole arbiter of cata games.

We UW patch now. Well, now as in "in the works now". Actually the past patch already had a few touches about UW stuff, like subtle changes to some items and units.quote:2015-04-02 00:07:04 +0200 In bolded, it seems the "ferrous" type of weapons finally will have a gameplay effect. Is the "repair" thing a commander action to do in the strategic map that will consume the turn? Apart from that, it seems Pelagia will be the first reformed.

I think the way repairing works now is that you put your units in a fort and if that fort has spare resources at the end of the turn (you're not using them to recruit troops) the resources go toward repairing the troops' broken weapons and armour (up to however many spare resources you have). It could actually be something else entirely because I've never seen it happen. I cast rust mist once I wonder if "damaged weapons/armor lower dmg/prot" means changes to the way Iron Bane works. Right now it rusts everyone's armour and makes it fall off after a hit, right?

Uh. I didn't know that was a thing. I thought the rust effects were just effects limited to that battle.

Turin Turambar posted:Uh. I didn't know that was a thing. I thought the rust effects were just effects limited to that battle. Currently yes. You rust their armor and it does nothing if it doesn't get broken by something in that battle. If it ends up broken then you have to wait for it to repair as boing mentioned. I'm hoping UW patch isn't "even more impossible to attack UW nations. UW nations still stupid shitbad nations that are mostly irrelevant in their piss oceans no one cares about"

The interesting thing I see here is that currently I don't believe weapon damaging exists in the game, right? Just armor breaking. If things like Destruction and Iron Bane start affecting metal weapons as well as armor that could be significant for certain nations.

Agent Kool-Aid posted:they should just remove oceania. who the gently caress plays oceania. This reminds me, can't you just make custom maps with like 90% water? Of course, this doesn't help the core of the problem and negates a lot of the game, thanks to the strange meta-rules governing underwater-provinces, but it could make a neat gimmick-game with uw-nations only. (Also someone should check next time we're doing this if a pseudo-uw nation like LA Atlantis converted to pure uw-nation actually has scouts underwater.  )

jBrereton posted:You could've modded scouts in easily Tell that to the weirdo who made the mod, I was just a player. Edit: Besides, the mountains were the greater problem. Thanks to the way temperatures and mountain passes interact underwater and the deep sea borders being counted as mountains, we had players essentially cut off from the rest of the map forever.

I have only played EA Atlantis and LA R'lyeh but I most certainly do not feel irrelevant. In both of those games my largest problem is dragging my mages and troops where I need them. I could probably deal with only getting my mages uw but the mm1 everywhere makes it awful to play. My second largest problem is the lack of indie scouts uw.

your highest aspiration as an underwater nation is to make life hell for the other nations. you will not win. oceania doesn't even have any aspirations because they suck so much and they can't even crank out wishes like pelagia. remove oceania 2015

Basically everything is wrong with the nation and also, relatedly, the quite-nice looking maps like Streamlands and so on which come with the game that have gently caress all resources for UW nations to take advantage of. Plus those nations will never be good or interesting until UW nations get proper land recruit slots. If they have to be underwater, at least 5 com and unit slots would be fan-dabby-dozy, rather than a couple of coastal slots which mean most land provinces are just Some Indies to you, forever.

even pelagia has a remotely enjoyable gimmick in the form of having astral pearls goddamn everywhere, which let you do all sorts of goofy poo poo. oceania has legitimately no reason to exist and i'd rather they just removed it instead of trying to put effort towards 'fixing' it which they could just put towards the three underwater nations that have something going for them.
