Joe of Abysia has an announcement to make. ABYSIA, THE SMOULDERCONE - My fellow lavaborn and demonbred, I have important news from the frontier. Our assassins have begun to strike against the disgusting forces of Marverni, as they enter into war against our friends from C'tis and Sauromatia. Very soon we will be marching our own troops across their borders, and we anticipate that the war will be a short one. This you all know, but we have a graver and more impo
@Othello As much as I love Dominions 3, if you're not going to play it MP, I wouldn't get it. Don't get me wrong, I've had a lot of fun playing it SP myself, but only now that I've gotten into playing MP have I really felt it was fully worth its cost. The AI is, as shadowtongue says, just there so you can practice and try out strategies and ideas for when you later play human players. You know you have a good strategy not when you can win against
Based on the hours of engagement you're likely to get out of it, it's a steal, even at $55. Dominions 3 is the only turn based game I've ever felt it was really worthwhile to play multiplayer. And that includes Civilization 4. Even SP is fun, but no strategy game offers the depth, the lore, the magic, the drama, the humor, and the overall fun as Dominions with other people.
Sigh, always with the blame and the implication. Yes, those were our blood hunters in the forests of Los Alamos, but no, they didn't cause the fire. We think.
The All-Mighty Leader and Generally Cool Dude Joe of Abysia has issued a personal statement regarding the ongoing Death Gem Dust debate: ABYSIA, THE SMOULDERCONE - The current so-called "debate" on death gems is a culturally insensitive and imperialist attempt to rob the good people of Abysia of their favorite garnish. I cannot name a single Abysian who does not sprinkle his blood-slave puree with ground death gems, who doesn't flavor his lava tea with a touch of that magica
Hey everyone, Sorry on the delay getting my turn in. I live in Hawaii, so I'm on a slightly different time schedule than the rest of you. I'm still at work now, but I should have my turn in about four or five hours from now, once I get home. I'll also be able to respond to various diplomatic envoys and the rampant speculation about our great leader Joe that's been circulating around the astral current. As for dragonfly burgers, make them extra c
Heh, so that's Sauromatia and not C'tis... The message I sent you, then, in game will read a little oddly. Just replace your actual nation for the incorrect one. Unless you wanna make an international incident out of it? Really, Joe can't be bothered to keep all of these non-lava-people straight. They're all the same, really. Also, yes, my provinces came quickly due to (over)bidding on the first set of mercenaries, who turned out to be 60
Abysia offers no comment to the speculation regarding the persuasions, magical or otherwise, of our pretender Joe and his prophet Jake. It's not what you think, what with your "rainbows" and all. Joe's just an average guy, you know? And Jake his average demonbred heterosexual life partner. They like (hot) pizza, (hot) beer, and sacrificing blood slaves, just like anyone else. Sure, Joe's dabbled in some magic, but who hasn't these days? Re
[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="216" id="2954882"]Yes, the game has begin. Good luck to all. Lets have fun, learn some new things, oh and did i mention, have fun?[/quote] Abysia knows not of this "fun" of which you speak. You must have meant, "have fire." That makes much more sense.
Joe, god of Abysia, is willing to do battle anywhere, anytime, on any map. If we restart 1,000 times, he will sit in our capital researching the basics of evocation each time without even the slightest sense of deja vu.
For my part, I haven't seen a crash in Elemental in ages. You shouldn't assume that, just because the game isn't running well for you, it's not running well for everyone else, too. The 1.2 patch, in particular, was geared towards bug-fixes and preventing crashes and everything, and as far as I can tell it was successful for nearly everyone who was still having crash issues. If you're running 1.2 and you're still crashing, you really ought to post your
Different game than the one over at shrapnel. Tophat is responsible for this one. Also, I don't think we're using Cradle of Dominions, Strong Indepedents, or Slow Research...
Indeed, we lost most ignobly, with our Prophet fleeing the field of battle rather than putting up a last stand against the marauding elephants of Marverni. Alas, Agres will have to wait until the death and overthrow of the next god before he can ascend to his rightful place.
Heh, considering I've been sending my few remaining gems Arcos's way, I'd be willing to go into exile there, so to speak. Of course, Michael (or anyone else, really), should have first dibs on replacing Louist, but if all else fails, the once proud rulers of Abysia are experienced in defeat.
[quote who="ReuelKB" reply="406" id="2943982"]I know Abyssia has their Salamander Trainer who has animal awe and I've heard of him being used against elephants, but I never personally tried that myself.[/quote] Now you tell me! I pretty much assumed those guys were overpriced and mostly worthless, since they can only command a small number of magical beings, and they're neither magical themselves (like mages, who can also command magical beings) nor are they as good figh
Kamazura, that's hilarious. We last few men of Abysia can only hope that Marverni will be so kind as to do the same for us as you have done for Yomi. But I have a feeling that the informational leaflets will be in black and white, at best.
[quote who="Campaigner" reply="389" id="2943304"] Another question, do no one know what other players magicpath and spellschool is? In Age of Wonders if memory serves, you saw it on the setupscreen.[/quote] You do know what other players' nation's generally have as strengths and weaknesses, because those are preset. But you don't know about their Pretender or their research until you confront them in battle or use some other kind of espionage (like a
When is "From Dust" going to be released? I saw a preview of it a while back, and thought it looked awesome. Can't wait to see what they come up with in the completed game.
[quote who="ghostwes" reply="387" id="2943170"]Sorry, was not trying to rush you. I just thought you might have forgotten to send your 2H or something, since you were just online. In fact I think this game is progressing quite nicely. Most days we are getting two moves in; that's got to be above average for this game. Thank you to everyone for keeping the pace up![/quote] Well for some of us, anyway, turns have become extremely easy to get through, what with Marverni on
[quote who="Arthanis" reply="2" id="2942809"]Witcher Books are much better then both games, believe me...[/quote] Interesting... Is there a best translation/edition? I'd be interested in reading them.
