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

If you're posting graphs and omit your own you've probably got something to hide and I'm not going to trust it very much. If you're posting graphs because "holy poo poo this other dude is huge and we all need to kill him now!" then that should be self-evident even with your own scores on there.

Don't get me wrong it's hilariously petty, but more in a "lol you dick" sort of way than in this great shuddery sigh of disappointment sort of way

I got to 100 and stopped because work but after work I'll continue screenshotting/turning it over. Knowing the AI it has a good 100 turns left until the end. At this point it looks like it's going to be Caelum or Tien Chi

You have been losing the ocean at random and getting it back. There have been intermittent attacks Pan's earthsnake and Caelum is making literally thousands of pale ones and attacking at random.

Playing with other people, and in a game that needs several months to complete... not the greatest crime, but it's going pretty low on the scale of humanity.

yeah, the same aimbot software ('helios') works across a pretty wide range of games. she climbed to the top of the competitive scene in MWO with the help of it. that said MWO is such a loving easy game populated by total retards that you can be competitive as long as you scrape together a team of people who dont have parkinsons so its kind of a wasted effort imo

anyway i'm going to take the plunge into a newbie EA game soon and i can't wait to gently caress everything up and lose. it's going to be epic

I'm thinking now how high are his magic path to be able to cast all that poo poo and not fall unconscious.
edit: magic is powerful in Dominions, but in reality in Overlord MMO is even more OP. From path 1 to 10, I would say Ainz magic is around level 15.

Speaking of newbie games, if you're a newbie and interested in a game then post in here so I can get a numbers check. I know we've got one or two but I don't know if we have enough for a full newbie game yet.

You're a newbie if you have 1-2 completed games under your belt and are in a maximum of two games currently. Dom3 experience still disqualifies you. If you haven't played in a *very* long time -and- don't have a ton of experience but are over my game limits, we'll talk (but post anyways).

Hey, I was in dom3 a long time ago but never grew out of the Newbie phase there. Been in three dom4 games so far, one which didn't make it past the first year, a ongoing random game, and the one where I learned never to trust goon advice.

Please let me in? I'm still sufficiently terrible at this game.

Throwing my hat in. 25 hours of Dom4, all of it single player. I don't have a favorite nation or any cool strategies. My pretenders are whatever looks cool and I usually can't bring myself to take negative scales of any sort. My battle strategies are attack closest unless you fly, then attack rear. You mage guys can cast whatever the gently caress you want, there's only two or three of you anyway. I don't like using animal units because it pains me when they get hurt and cry out. My province defense didn't do poo poo at 30, surely if I bump it up to 40 I'll be safe.

I know a lot of what I do wrong in this game, I just can't quite figure out how to do it right.

It's bee a while since this has been asked: the only thing that influences siege power (beside strength and specific siege abilities) is that mindless units defense strength is 10% of the usual, right? Animal tag doesn't matter at all.

Take good money scales since elf nations are expensive. A bless is good but optional
Research evocation for storm+thunderstrike.
Take construction early on to forge quills and later to kit out your pony thugs and cloud trapeze into enemy provinces
Eventually get into blood magic using Sanguine Dousing Rods on your Vanjarls so you can summon tons and tons of storm demons. Ideally you want to mix these guys with Corpse Constructs so you get a robust electric shield to complement your electric artillery of bloodlust boosted storm demons and Vanjarls
