So in the space of two turns in noobgame I let about 100 units die of starvation while my hated enemy lanka killed all of his communion mages in a single fight with one of my 5 armies. We're our own worst enemies in noobgame.

Actually, that was my plan. 80 gold rakpatas lol who gives a flying gently caress. Just give em a blood slave and send off to die.

Keep sending those armies of mooks against me, I'll just turn em into soulless and send them back to you.

So anyway, this happened a couple of turns ago in noobgame...


And the battle footage:

And assuming you don't want to sit through a 17 minute long battle, here's the crux of the issue


Yes, that is dozens of enlarged beetles and dragonflys blocking up everybody who could potentially kill Irminsul.

I don't think I've ever been domkilled despite the fact that I roll with imprisoned dominion 5 pretenders constantly. Maybe I'm just poo poo enough that it never becomes an issue.

Aggressive early wars also tend to piss off your neighbours who may just invade you in return while your armies are busy and bam! you got yourself a two front war.

Hey-o, Dom4 is $8.75 on Steam right now for the 12-hour flash sale.

Which means I purchased it and I'm upgraded from Dom3 now! I...am not sure where to start, of course. Are the nations that were carried over from Dom3 changed by a whole lot? Is there a good place to catch up on everything new? I think I'm going to sign up for jolly game.

Hello and welcome to the game of musical hitlers! Always remember to mail electric six lyrics to <everyone> every turn of every game. I never played dom3 so I can't help you there, but http://larzm42.github.io/dom4inspector/ is good for looking up all the different units and spells and whatnot.

I have to hide the fact I only play single player, a mob of people will demand I play with them if I mention it.

You're not doing a very good hiding then.

Sriously though, why don't you play multiplayer? It's like only playing chess against computer. It's a bit bizarre.

Pick Oracle as Pretender, take Dominion 8, order 3, production 3, growth 3, luck 3, drain 2.

Please do not listen to this man, he doesn't know poo poo. You don't pair order with luck, ever. That is dumb as hell on its own right. And never, ever pick drain, especially as MA Ulm. Jesus christ man, you are literally a retard. Please stop giving advice to noobs. And everybody else while you're at it.
