Voyager I posted:So I don't know if I'm reading this correctly, but I don't think Ramc is even trying to get into a hellwar with Phaecia. He's just expanding outward throughout the seas and if some of that happened to be inside the cap circle of a non-amphibious nation then oh well. He's not trying to hellwar Phaecia, he's trying to knock out the island nation early and take that juicy cap income, and that happens to involve a bit of killing. There's no way this game goes down without Pelagia and Phaecia going to war by turn 15.

Hellwar would suggest that it's a fruitless endeavor that only ensures they both lose the Throne contest. This is just a normal war that either someone (Ramc*) will win or a truce will be found. * (We're early enough in the game that if he lost there wouldn't be much of an LP)

I mean, "lost" in this context just means "Phaecia knocks out the forward armies somehow and a truce is called." Phaecia really doesn't have the means to actually prosecute an offensive war underwater against Pelagia - at least not this early. It'd hardly be the end of the LP if that's what happened (and it's probably not).

It would take him a year to march an army to me if he had an amphibious one. Also kind of same for my own cap troops.

Phaecia can't fight Pelagia underwater so Ramc was never going to respect their aquatic holdings, but does Pelagia have the tools to profitably get into a surface war and siege down a capital this early? There's a lot of ocean provinces left to claim, so even if he can amass enough forces to take Phaecia's capital it might not be worth the opportunity cost of lost expansion time. My thought was that HowAreU might be talked into accepting that the ocean belongs to Ramc for the time being and the two could otherwise go on their way. The real shocker to me is the cowardly surface-dwellers who are content to allow Pelagia to hold land provinces. Motherfucker has a quadruple-sized ocean to himself, and y'all just gonna sit there and let him squat on your expansions too?

To be entirely fair, with multiple nations apparently having really bad expansions, those nations that didn't are probably only too happy to snap up all the extra territory they can. Though yes, Ulm and Nazca really should be booting Pelagia back into the fishbowl once they're through their initial expansion - with that much free UW territory Ramc already has, they really don't need to be giving them access to their land exclusive troops too.

I do love the feeling I get remembering when Ramc was all "uh I guess I'll take a Dom4 key if no one wants it" and then all of a sudden it was like "oh hey wait I think I like winning, I'll win all the games now"

Turn 21 Ok some fights some events. I don't see a thing about rehiring the ship wreckers what madman would pay as much as I had offered? anyway we get some research-  a c i d r a i n So did the ship wreckers at least clear a pro-  what in the world  fukken lol how much gold is that whatever i'm not even mad an actual army will roll that once i get one here but the absolute lunatic i love it i guess that explains why i didnt get them again. at least i keep the 350 gold the other fight barely is worth screenshotting-    But I did it anyway. This army is heading east now.  HOW MANY WONDERS CAN ONE CAVE HOLD  The overview. Expanding has slowed a bit but now we have some OBJECTIVES to ACHIEVE  In the south we are converging on the throne. I reorganize my troops under my god and under the BLACK PRINCE who I rename-  To something more in-theme. Check out the +morale bonuses tho for my god and PRINCE ERIC-   extremely determined line troops So I arrange my army for the throne battle here it is-  Sacreds in the middle line, flanks are wave warriors. Atlantean chaff up the middle to eat some nets and exhaust my foes.  Phaecia zone. The fort is set up and I am getting wizards and poo poo and troops gathered here, hell yeah.  Nazca is chasing asphodel here and I am seeing if I can get a look for strategic BATTLE DATA and also for you, the fans.  The overview. THRONE PROVINCE AHOY which one could it be???? this is exactly* like christmas eve quote:samog *or your pelagian equivalent

 Fire: And Why Does It (What's the Word?) Burn?  Time to distract from my ship wrecker debacle. LETS TALK ABOUT BLESSES HA HA Superior Morale For 1 fire bless point your units receive an improved morale boost. ANY bless at the VERY least gives all your sacreds +1 morale. If you take one point of this bless you get another +1. And you can keep taking it over and over if you want. It isn't terrible. Morale is important to keep your troops from breaking and fleeing, and making sure they attack the targets you scripted them to. That said I wouldn't build around it. If you have a spare fire point there you go it is literally the only one fire point bless. Minor Fire Resistance Okay now for 2 fire bless points you can get 5 points of resistance to fire damage. Fire is probably the most common non physical damage type flying around and sports some real nasty field-clearing spells like firestorm. This is probably why it costs 2 unlike all the other minor elemental resistances thus far which were 1. Major Fire Resistance For 3 fire bless points you get 10 fire resistance and you can stack it with minor fire resistance for 15 total. Besides being straight up lit on fire you also might just pass out from heat auras or suffer extra battlefield encumbrance because most people do heat scales. Well good news fire resistance prevents most of that too. 15 fire resistance isn't going to save you if like a chaos power Azi breathes fire on you but hey what are the odds of that happening? Attack Skill Also 3 fire bless points, this gives you +2 attack skill which makes it easier to hit enemies and repel attacks. Much like the defense bless it mirrors in water this is just blandly low-key useful as even a small difference between attack and defense can make a big difference. If you are a madman you can take this multiple times but it is so expensive don't you want something else? Inspirational Presence For 4 fire bless points your sacred commanders passively grant a +1 morale bonus to all the troops they command and also can lead 30 more troops in general (you can take this more than once but there must be a better use for 8 fire bless points). This is another blandly good but spendy option. This does give your non sacred troops the morale bonus too perhaps obviously, so long as their leader is sacred. Death Explosion Ha ha ha I love this. For 5 bless points this incarnate fire bless makes your troops e x p l o d e o n d e a t h. It was even recently patched to make the AoE on the explosions bigger if your unit is a larger size (AoE 4+unit size) for 10 fire damage give or take. This is fun as hell but you have to make sure you don't self-own spectacularly and also think tactically about what your sacred are doing. I have seen many a Goofus Marignon, dazzled by the thought of expendable and cheap sacred flagellants pick this only to have their entire backline of sacred mages go up like a string of firecrackers off a stray arrow. You want to pair this with fire resistance. You REALLY want to. My favorite Gallant move here is picking it on a nation with flying sacreds, set them to hold->attack rear and watch them go. They attack backline mages and if they die, they take swaths with them. It's great and I won a game as EA Caelum doing this. Heat Aura For 5 fire bless points and an incarnate god you can get an exhausting heat aura. This grants heat aura(3) and like the chill aura that rating goes up or down in relation to the temperature scales. It is also my understanding that the heat aura bless doesn't function under water while the chill aura one does. Alas. On the upside the heat aura sometimes lights enemies on fire and that is great. Heat aura doesn't kill your enemies fast, but will eventually fatigue out your foes. It's pretty good on thugs or other tanky troops that can last long enough to make it meaningful. As a bonus you get 10 points of fire resistance on top of the aura so you don't kill yourself with it. How thoughtful! Fire Shield For 6 fire bless points this incarnate bless grants blessed sacreds a fire shield more or less per the fire shield spell. Anyone taking a swing at you takes damage, around 6 or so I think give or take depending on weapon length. It's a pretty good bless, especially on troops that can tank well. Or troops you can mass well. I had a good game with Marignon flagellants combining luck, bless and blood vengeance. A recent update made the spell fire shield not work underwater and that may also now be the case for the bless too but maybe someone can confirm there. Messed up if so! Flaming Weapons For also 6 bless points and also incarnate this gives your sacreds flaming weapons. This is just sort of blandly good all around. It's an extra 6 armor piercing damage to all attacks (except like mind blasts and breath weapons). Fire damage is pretty good all around and some nations are even vulnerable to it (Niflheim and Lanka come to mind). Sometimes it even lights a guy on fire and that's good for a laugh. Also if your enemy has ethereal troops at least the fire will hurt. An honest, workman bless. Awe For 7 fire points and also incarnate we have Awe. Awe is a very powerful effect that I kind of don't like paying for because it never works on what you want it to. Any time a unit takes a swing at a unit with Awe they have to make a morale check. If they fail they don't even make the attack. This can let you overwhelm many troops. But it is a morale check and it doesn't work on ranged attacks or spells. Undead never fail morale checks. Berserking units never fail. Gods and prophets have tons of morale, basically anything really dangerous probably has a high morale because being awesome is good for your self esteem. Fire is a sort of blandly good bless path for the most part. Everything in there is kind of useful and a few (fire shield mostly) can force your enemy to rethink their approach to fighting your sacreds which is always good- people hate having to think. Several nations- Abysia and Marignon come to mind, have bonus bless points too if you go fire, so you will have more points to work with. You can solve a lot of problems by setting them on fire.

Turn 22 No research bits but the big fight is here. Also we found a site!  It is +1W nothing fancy. But charming! Okay but there is only one fight, on the THRONE no less-  UW thrones are basically gimmies if you have a halfway powerful army. These defenders are only marginally more threatening than the Phaecia 30+ PD province.  Our army! The throne is in my candles so my god blesses all sacreds by default. Sweet deal.  Eric deffo has some sort of auto-luck thing. Very nice.  And my god is on the field. Fun fact having your god present is a +1 morale modifier for your troops.  Instead of spamming water elementals which is real and dangerous as hell, the w3 hydromancers spend their gems casting Water Ward, a buff spell that gives their troops in a pretty wide AoE +5 defense. That's also pretty good, but not really gonna be good enough.  Speaking of defense this is why I have a bunch of atlantean chaff in the front. Nets immobilize victims, causing them to be really easy to hit and preventing them from hitting back until the victim breaks out. Nets can only be used once per fight, though, so better to let the atlanteans catch them instead of risking real troops.  FIRST BLOOD  Noone important is in a net! The system works.  Also my cool army lines more or less dissolve into a massed murder blob. That's Dominions!  The massed murder blob overwhelms the enemy army.  It's a pretty decisive win. Now lets see what throne it is...  I have complex feelings about this. lots of gems but -2 prod will hurt our troop production. My god will search for sites this turn then see how I feel about claiming it the next turn. It's a lot of gems but I do need troops too. Ok on to those events first   choose ME dammit I will send a water mage to investigate.  The overview! My west army continues to move east while I mass dudes in the forts there.  I am building the temple in my fort here finally, and hiring some mages to support the massed wave warriors Phaecia has a few forts up now too, it looks  I start building the throne fort and begin to round up some more troops from around my cap to get ready to move out to assorted fronts. Most of the throne troops are moving out northward toward the amber clan and the Jotunheim coast as that throne army is fully amphibious actually!  My research whims change. I want some of the low hanging fruit as I don't have so many A gems to make rushing evoc 6 worth it YET.  the overview. My armies are on the move again.
