PurpleXVI posted:Also I was virtuous Abysia in this one.  It may be time for another sneaking mission soon, Eric. This bless... it's huge! ...and hot...But yes I was a wartime advisor for Filthincarnate (aka Turtle) in this game. He is probably one of the best Dominions players in the community and has totally shivved me bad on more than one occasion. You should do an aside on your One Game Policy sometime.

How are u posted:Awake expanders are overrated. I can't think of a single game in which I've taken one. Give me those extra build points for better scales, porfa. Filthincarnate was scarred very early in their career by the Stallion of Ulm and will never be caught without an awake expander again. The Sauro bless is okay, in a vacuum, but it does suggest you have some imprisoned dom 1 nerd which isn't a very good club to ward off certain kinds of attacks with. Presumably the boar bless is so he has a million +5 prot Larger trample boards as Marv tho

PurpleXVI posted:Meanwhile I'm busy learning why you don't take D3 Abysia to afford your bless, because if you do, you can get an event that halves your cap pop meaning your resources for recruiting your beefy-rear end sacred dudes that you took most of the bless for in the first place are totally hosed. the rare event version of Black Death

PurpleXVI posted:Actually what I'm finding to be the WORST thing about taking a Death bless is the damage it does to supply scores in your dominion. I had so much trouble with starving troops this time around, it suuuuuuucked. simply play death 3 eriu and mass highland cattle from the JBBM to feed your troops and also destroy your enemies:

*pan nerd voice* Mother Oak is Alteration 5, not Enchantment 5. which is why it is extra good for Pan because all the stuff you want is in Alt early anyway.

I've had at least one game get derailed because I could not for the life of me get a vital gem type income going despite searching every drat province at A3 or A4 as MA Caelum. I was swinging 3 air gems a turn by the mid-late game and it killed me

Blazing fast developments. Spoiler for the game I am talking about with filthincarnate where i am Naba there I get in a good position but do not win because thrones spawned way far away from me generally. Tragic.

FilthIncarnate posted:i would have to kill ermor and then probably sauro. because ermor has an actual plan for the game instead of just making random decisions and getting into endless hellwars, they're by far my most dangerous enemy; with them dead i would be in a pretty commanding position. Taking out the people who might actually have a plan is very important.
