It's nice that the two nations you picked to learn the game with are the two nations that are always banned. You should really join a random game as a random nation and learn be getting stomped and chatting on IRC.

Try EA Vanheim with a n9 or w9 (or both!) bless.

Also you should check out the great spell at thaumaturgy level 5, Burden of Time, a very good spell for good players that will make everyone love you while working well with nations like Ermor.

Actually that kind of EA Vanheim was the first faction I tried out. I was winning until the AI cast Burden of Time...

That sounds like a fun idea, I tried out quite a lot of nations but MA Ermor is the only one I really got and I think thats because its insanely OP.

If I can get Desura support to send me my drat password I'd be up for that. I made an account when Dom4 came out and impulse bought it then never logged in again and their forgotten password thing just doesn't work for me.

The game Newbie Land is now accepting sign-ups by newbies. If you have played in more than 3 games of Dominions 4 you cannot join this game. Completely vanilla Middle Age game, no mods in use whatsoever. Maximum 5 players, but I"ll launch it if it gets less than 5 and looks to stay that way.

Hey if you have friends who want to play this game (why??) this could be a time to get them to try multiplayer in a childproofed idiot environment.

e: oh yeah, no MA Ermor you jerks.

How can a wyrm have a limp? It doesn't have any legs. Just like this anti-wyrm propaganda. Please ban this bigot.

I don't even know how Nazca works. And everyone can read thrones_spoilers.txt. This doesn't add up, Enjoy. Let's say what this is really about : you saw a guy with a wyrm and you just couldn't handle it. "Why didn't he just take an earth serpent? Who does this wyrm-picking gently caress think he is? Why aren't I as cool/handsome as him?" Well guess what, Enjoy? My wyrm is loud and proud and in your neighbourhood.

If you're looking for a similar experience to NMS in Dominions 4, middle era nation 'Eriu' only has 3 types of unit and 2 commanders you would ever knowingly recruit, give them a shot!

I thought the NMS experience would be building a single scout in a singleplayer game with no AI, and sending that scout around to look at all the indy provinces?

Be like Jon Joe and pick Vanheim then start next to MA Ermor (which you allowed into the game bc you were the host) then NAP them and lose to them.

Unless you are likely to get their capitol, in which case you should negotiate to block everyone else while you get the sole route to their cap and everyone else fights their armies in the middle of nowhere, therefore loving over everybody because you probably overestimate yourself.
