I get something I want, you get gems to annoy me with. Everyone wins.

The thing Dominions needs the most is a spell checker for the in game messages. :suicide:

Killed my first Earth Serpent today, and its prophet, in the same battle. Feels good. Death to all Earth Serpents and those that worship them.

I'm really loving those longspear guys - they're great for expansion and can hold a badass line while my air mages go to town (I also get these gems):



I managed to demolish a decent number of Tom's troops using a bunch of these guys and uhhhhhh 60 air gems :cripes:

e: we're also playing randomly generated pretends, so I can't even take advantage of the ignore drain scales advantage. I have yet to see what pretender I ended up with, and it's turn 36.
e2: oh of course he pops up turn 37

After I was able to get storm going and then this happened:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNC_B0AO64U

We decided to call it a draw, Tom convinced me to go fight him on the other throne (only 2 thrones because I'm an idiot) and also because I'm an idiot he took the throne I had and claimed it before I could fight him.

I'm v bad at dom4

Hello hi I was the third person in that blitz between him and Tom, and basically sat in a corner researching nothing useful with my stack of nature + fuckall hoburg wizards (including a hero hoburg who could turn into a cave crab, owned), and my coral-thorned semi-clockwork polearm w9 sacreds who turned into werebears when they got wounded, along with a fat stack of crossbows, rolled over a throne right before it would be claimed for a victory, then got beaten off in that video by someone who actually could use battlemagic.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

if your god was a big mean caster and the afflictions were feeblemind/mute/dementia then I see no problem with this

Of course, goons being goons it was probably some dude who was incredibly happy that he gave your already-recuperated earth serpent Limp and Lost An Eye

i dont know about the others but fabricating entire messages from other players sounds stupid and not at all within the mapgame code of bushido. its one thing to be like hey jomon is gonna attack you, its another to cobble together a fake screenshot in an offline game or w/e. of course this is open to whatever group you're playing in but it sounds insanely lame to me so i calls it as i sees it

The "carefully doctored" part is a joke, dammit, at most I plan on not posting the graphs/size of my empire along those of whoever I'm trying to slander.

I ask because, for example, copy-pasting an ingame message from an ally, or chat logs, or whatever, and showing it to the target can be considered against the spirit of the game, and I rather not break any unwritten rules. Another example would be the sanctity (or lack thereof) of NAPs and breaking trade agreements, but I'm pretty sure I know what the stance on those is (break NAPs whenever it's funny you want if you don't mind bad rep on the next game and don't you dare breaking a trade agreement, respectively).

may the power of Hecate compel you
Faking stuff might help you in the short term, but personally it's pretty low. Wasn't that one of Modpud's things, creating doctored IRC logs about deals made? Anyways, it would destroy your rep; why would anyone trust you? And if they don't trust you, why wouldn't they attack you? I know I would :)

"Lying by omission" is a completely different thing, though. That's fine. You'll still be called out, as Decrepus said.
