    Did we decide on UW Expanded for the two scrub water nations to play around with? How are people liking it in the other game?

    Its not FOR UW nations its mainly for land nations to get UW. It helps UW nations by making their mages better and sometimes troops amphibian but it also takes away a lot of their safety.

    UW wasn't changed much, even their pretender choice is still piss poor.

    Pelagia might like it if their sacred troops were amphibious, but I guess that would alter Pretender design(maybe). R'yleh might like their two main mages to be better. But whatever, the die is cast.

    The (only!) Pelagia sacred unit is good, but really expensive (70 gold for a good cavalry unit, which is clubbed to death by an equal amount of resources of any unit). Even if it was amphibious, it would hardly justify the price tag.

    Nah, I am content in winning this game because everyone pities me so much that nobody attacks me. Then I steamroll everything with some fishermen who carry nets. Everyone hates nets, so they will give up.
    That plan is fool proof.

    I know a combo of instants and creatures that ends in an infinite loop and all your opponents' creatures tapped.
    Oh, wait...

    I will either get rushed and lose the game in 15 turns, or win the game easily after that. I leave it up to my neighbors!

    Apparently, Black Mesa
    It's awesome. Coral armour that I can use, cheap mages to research and to spam little things, and the poor retards are still bickering on land without realizing that my Evil Plan of Global Frogization is starting to pick up steam.

    Seriously though, UW mod for some nations is a must. MA Atlantis CANNOT be played without it, and I fear for the sanity of our two players. Worst case, Pelagia destroys the squids and realizes he cannot do anything.

    Rush the Oppressive Bureaucracy supported by Anime? That would be a crime against Mankind.

    I volunteer, and about risk taking we should ask to the resident master on the subject, CaptainCoxwaggle .

    EDIT: Thanks to a Desura Thread I've now discovered that I have the best Seducer of all the Nations. PREPARE YOUR WOMEN INFIDELS, PURITY IS COMING!

    Here you go my fellow noobs and veteran semi-noobs, I just found this: http://www.desura.com/games/dominio...ncepts-that-i-wish-somebody-had-told-me-about

    Well, I'd hope to dip my toes into the water at least, but we'll see how it goes, it's not a priority for me :)

    Malakal is our special player and therefore needs special time to make his special pretender. It can only be days now.

    Edit: Psychic.

    Edit2: Game started

    Ugh... Of course I ended up in the small pond with 10 uw provinces while the tentacles get 20+.

    I had actually expected that both start in the big ocean.

    I started from the same province as I did in my test game. Seems the random placement can be somewhat predictable. Or just coincidence.
