Dom 3 slow game (2 day turnaround)[closed]

[byrdman57]

Awesome. I have my pretender ready to go, but to avoid causing trouble this weekend I will submit it when I get home on Sunday.

Just signing in to let you all know I have not disappeared.

I forgot to enable the mods when designing a pretender god, so I'll have to go back to the drawing board in order to ensure there will be no major differences or surprises in my opening moves.  I can't control what independants I start next to, but given my nation's horrible starting army, I want to try and ensure I don't suffer a critical existance failure by turn 6.

CBM modifies the costs and effectiveness of certain units, as well as the Dominion scales, so I'll spend some time this evening fiddling around with my design and submit my revised pretender ASAP.

I don't know if this is a CBM mod factor, but I can testify that the independents infesting the map over on the EA game are quite gnarly.

....not that I'm saying they've repeatedly slaughtered me and now I am helplessly far behind everyone else in the game. I'm not saying that.  :-X

I'm just saying. Prepare. Yes, prepare.   :D

That would be the Independents 7 setting. By default it is set at 5.
We wanted to work for our expansion, so we agreed to crank it up to 7. It's usually a SP move to make the game a bit harder, but I find it gives a nice sharp edge to MP games too. It's not just the other nations to worry about, the independents have teeth too and sometimes a bad invasion can make you have to alter your short term plan due to attrition.

yup i remember the call for hard ass independants - and they are - 40 heavy cavalry and 40 heavy infantry was not a fun surprise

It's Gath, not Garth ;) .
Set them at 9 else?

I just resent my pretender with every mod activated,I didn't turn on graphical ones.

I'll pick Ulm another time, I've been testing Gath so far and they seem pleasant to play too!

[undercovergeek]

you sure - im definitely Pythium whatever the front screen says!!

im not sure this worked the first time round - Jason did the same i think, made one, realised the error and tried to upload the new one but it didnt take without a game restart

My pretender is in as far as I can tell.  Got the email and my nation appears on the list.

Being this is my first MP, I don't expect to last too long.  So, let me say thanks now for letting me in and I look forward to getting to know the group as we go.  I hope to learn a lot, so I am open to any critiques or advice along the way.

Good luck everyone

Don't worry Corwin, I'm new as well - the other game we have going is my first.  I'll race you to be the first to die gloriously!

[undercovergeek]

i think we're all new-ish

[Corwin123]

Thats good to hear.   :D
