It's 33. Some people probably reached lvl6 in one discipline. If they really focused on it, that is.

No, he doesn't have D4, apart from Pretender. He'd need both Constr4 and Alt6, which I'm pretty sure is impossible to reach that early, even if you focus on it.

You are welcome. Tungaliks are one of the best research monkeys of the game, and their price is very good for what they are.

So, can I get you to leave me alive for a while under the menace of my UNLIMITED POWER?

No?

Pleeeease

Nu. In fact, I will be grateful if you cast Darkness. Your guys have DV 50%, mine have 100%. Malakal gives those "awesome" hints simply because he wants you ded too.

Grimwulf is your only friend. Or rather he COULD BECOME one.

If you like throwing armies of chaff at each other then maybe. I prefer magic with my might.

A game where everybody gets all the nukes right away is boring at best.

A game where you have to carefully choose your weapons and plan waaaay ahead - now that game is skill-demanding and challenging.

I like this game. I do not endorse otherwordly voices devoid of fleshy avatars to maim, kill and burn. Slow research FTW!

... the fact that I am LA Ulm has no bearing on this. Really. I mean, c'mon.

I get Malakal's point that slow research removes some of the subtlety and skill from the game since you have less options, but especially with a game like this where there hasn't been too much early war (except poor Arco) I gotta say I'm enjoying the slower pace and long-term planning a lot. Turn 30ish is still practically earlygame! In any case there's nothing wrong with a little variety :)

That is what I was trying to avoid, and I guess it did work. Still, I think next time I'll try Standard... and I definitely won't use this map again. The novelty has worn off. :)

It's all good though, I'm still having fun. I wish I had more time to continue the story of Man, but at least the time I do get to spend on this is making a great diversion. Thanks again to all for joining in!

I'm on an actual spaceship. No joke.
There can be no surrender in the face of barbarism.

But I am not without sympathy. A ghost remembers the grub of the living, and goes hither-thither with a gnawing hunger and a gnashing of teeth.

The savant chefs of the T'ien Chi have developed some tasty ectoplasm-based recipes. We will share our culinary knowledge with you for what I'm sure you'll agree is a modest fee.

[I had prepared an artistic depiction of said delicacies, but Imgur is giving me shit. If you saw it, you'd definitely agree to the following proposal]

For the low price of 1000 shekels, these delights could be yours, and your suffering could be alleviated. Jellied and candied ectoplasm can be grasped by the gullets of ethereals and corporeals alike! Nuances of flavour so subtle they're hardly there!

This is a one-time offer, though. My patience is not without limit.

Someone please extend if KoolNoodles doesn't show up or pretty soon we'll have enough stalls in this game to open up a small market.

Lemuria officially declares the war upon Marignon! The reason wasn't revealed to the public. The war officers refused to reveal to press how they plan to attack.

:whatho:

Poor Lemurian undeds went batshit insane after all. They think they share borders with Marignon.

The Inquisition will decide how long will they tolerate Lemuria's existence. If you will ever become bothersome, we shall come for you ourselves.
