Entered my diseased mute prophet into the arena to get him killed (and maybe take out a guy with blood vengeance), and he won by default. Now he has the gladius that gives him protection from afflictions... I swear to god this game is the master of irony.  nothing connects to this province

From ElfsAreDicks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8BrK5bPZg8 Erfsnakes can be dealt with! You just need lots of sacred giants with high protection and a major Nature/Blood-bless. Easy.

The only way to get there is to get lost in time and space or banished to hell and then find your way out. At this point, it rolls a random province and puts you there. so you will have a 1/number of provinces chance to land in hosed up worthless swamp and be trapped there forever!

Now all it needs is a three point throne that it's impossible to win the game without.

I assume it is, given how it calculates and used to (still does?) gently caress up ritual ranging.

I hereby declare myself victor and Pantokrator of HeadsButGood. I have ascended to godhood because I am awesome, and also most people went AI. HeadsButGood was an All Ages game that ran for a dang 106 turns. I played as MA Agartha and ran a really conventional major bless and scales build.  My plan was to lean on my awesome, tanky Shard Guards for expansion and then eventually to build armies of Sentinels, which are awesome and tough and virtually indestructible with a nature 9 bless. See how cool they are:  Unfortunately they're also 3 earth gems a pop, and I never had an earth income big enough to support making them on a mass scale until well into the end game.  The game started out well enough with reasonable expansion and I ran into my neighbor EA Agartha (Xanrick) and Tir Na Nog (Melum) to my west and my east. I made peace with them and continued to expand south when I ran into LA Atlantis (JonJoe) running a W9 bless. W9 Assartuts are a loving blender of death, and JonJoe immediately declared war on me. My Shard Guards, while great at tanking indies and stuff that doesn't have a ton of offensive power, are utterly outclassed by the offensive punch of Assartuts and JonJoe quickly defeated my expansion armies and rolled me back to about 3 or 4 provinces. I was pretty much dead at this point, and my only thought was to make the siege of my cap as lovely as possible for JonJoe and his loving Assartuts and awake W9 dragon. However, JonJoe got greedy and dumb and decided to attack another neighbor, LA Midgard (RockyB). Why he did this I will never know, but he didn't even get to the point of sieging my cap before he did it. Midgard fought back hard and his Skinshifters were much better at fighting Assartuts then my lovely Agarthans. Enough pressure was taken off me that I could start retaking territory. What turned the tide against JonJoe was ambushing his stupid Dragon with a big ball of these guys:  Holy poo poo these guys are awesome, they are easily my MVP unit of the game. As long as you're not fighting in Cold they are strong, have magical AoE attack, fire shield, the works. They're also cheap as gently caress and I had guys summoning 15 or more a turn for the entire game. They punched JonJoe's dragon to death and he subsequently went AI. At this point I basically turtled and did very little for the entire mid-game. EA Agartha made war on Vanheim (Neruz), my friend Midgard got killed by Sceleria (Corbeu who became massive and world-threatening. EA Agartha, LA Jomon (originally played by somebody I forgot) and I made a plan to try to kill Sceleria together but then Corbeau up and quit Dominions entirely and went AI. We then spent like 20 turns just slowly chipping away at thousands of skeletons until Xanrick went AI for some reason too. Melum quit as well and his TNN was chain staling for another 20 or so turns. Whoever was playing LA Jomon wanted to quit and asked for a sub, and Murtidash took over. Murtidash is Cool and Good, and we made a pact to have perpetual peace until we cleaned up the massive AI empires of EA Agartha, Sceleria, and TNN. We did just that for dozens of boring turns and I got pretty tired of playing them. There was no danger so it was an opportunity to explore summons and high level research but it wasn't much fun. I'd just about finished killing TNN and took one of his thrones when Murtidash informed me that I was only 4 points away from a Throne Victory. I hadn't noticed or paid attention to that so it was a surprise to me. He told me that either I had to give up some thrones to him or we would be at war. Giving up thrones didn't seem like a good way to win a game where the point is taking thrones, so to war we went. I luckily had a big army sitting next to one of his undefended level 2 thrones, which I grabbed and then magick'd a wizard tower on top of. I made a dash for EA Agartha's throne nearest to me, and I thought that would give me the win but it turned out it was a level 1 throne, leaving me 1 point shy of the 14 required. The next 8 or so turns were some seriously epic and awesome battles between me and Murtidash. When the game goes long enough that everybody maxes out research you get to empty all your forts of mages and have wonderful armies of mage balls slinging poo poo all over the world.  I gathered an army of statues and golem crafters and sent them on a suicide death march into the depths of AI Sceleria to try and capture a throne there. I managed to get the army on the throne province, but the literal thousands of ghouls inside kept me from being able to do any damage to the walls. I was panicking trying to figure out ways to get siege chaff so deep into enemy territory when Murtidash finally noticed that army, concluded he couldn't stop me, and gave up. You might have been able to stop me, Murtidash! But I certainly wasn't going to tell you. Couple turns later I took the fort and won. Lots of  , really fun game at the end there, and my very first multiplayer win!e: Kitfox88 played MA R'lyeh and sat in the lake for the entire game, doing nothing useful or interesting.
