In Progress DECLINE 22: Primitive Proliferation

[mondblut]

mondblut - why do you refuse to communicate, are you a liberal Lanka?

I'll have to look at the turn and the map first. Which will likely only happen after "omg, you only have 12 hours left" email

edit:

Next turn due: 05:18 GMT on Sunday February 18th

YAY

 

[Dayyālu]

The KoolNoodles emergency is over. Turns will begin again on standard schedule.

 

[mondblut]

Sheeit, I'll actually have to conduct diplomacy right now.

 

[coldcrow]

I am squandering my insane starting position quite a bit

 

[mondblut]

Good people of Lankian fuckscaleocracy have heard horrible stories about the mythic creature called ManBearPig, but the reality spotted by scouts on the border was far more terrifying... a NiggerLionSpider!

How dare you? First target acquired.

I'm OKAY with that.

Seems the locals didn't like your rule. Don't worry wolves, the alpha is on his way.

 

[Isiloon]

Do i need to unleash my CSI skills again and track down the IP address of that province?

EDIT - nevermind its in 118




Sending harpies to

 

[Grimwulf]

Invaded me without declaring war? I hope you know what you're doin', Muty.

Spoiler

Hrmpf. Apparently you don't.

 

[Isiloon]

Why would you fuck with Grimwulf by yourself, now you're just going to die Muty

Dominions is all about the gang bangs... unless you have elite sacreds, but if you're playing Xibalba vs Helheim.. its obvious which one has the better early game.

 

[Dayyālu]

Meanwhile in an island somewhere, the great armies of Berytos and Marverni face eath other....

And they keep facing each other until someone gets the guts to move in because there is no way in hell I am attacking those 10 Invuln Ambibates Noble Warriors

seriously Illwinter let's give Inv 10 to a 14G random infantry units, that's going to be awesome for everyone that has to fight them early game

ILLWINTEEEEEEEEEEEER

 

[Infinitum]

Unrelated, anyone with experience willing to give approximate ratio at which elite units matches elephants (say, 15 defense 20-odd armor (2hko) vs a dozen or so)? Asking for some friends.

THERE IS A REASON NO ONE USES ELEPHANTS AGAINST HUMAN OPPONENTS

Trample units do not give a shit about elite troops. They'll trample everything. The problem is that sooner or later (sooner) they'll fail a morale check and trample their own. They get easily surrounded and eat hits like no tomorrow.

Elephants are barely good as expanders. Don't worry, I'm planning on something else to off you.

 

[Muty]

I was going to die anyway with him next to me, whatever going ai.

 

[sqeecoo]

For a "big" map, we seem to have an awful lot of early wars.

 

[Muty]

No seriously go fuck yourselves, I had a perfect starting position and actually took the time to prepare myself then you restarted the game because autism and fucked me over twice. I couldn't care less about your inane

Dominions is all about the gang bangs..."

What do you expect me to sit on 5 provinces for 200 turns in hopes that maybe someone will come and steamroll grimfag?
Did I mention to go fuck yourselves?

 

[Infinitum]

I'm confused, aren't you Xibalba? You still have indies to expand into and don't see no-one rolling into your capital as we type.

EDIT: Speaking of; a list of nations in the OP would be nice.

EDIT EDIT: Also you guys; lesser air elemental spam? Any pointers? It's not like they will fly into my back line without scripting, right? No reason for asking. Not like I have prior terrible experiences with tramplers overall no siree.

 

[Muty]

Sorry guys I'm not having the best of days today. Happy lonely grognard Valentine's

edit: ps. except for you Dayyālu, I still hate you for restarting the game.

Air elementals will randomly target AFAIK, so yes....some might fly into your back line.

And as to your question about elephants, mostly humans won't use them against other human opponents because of the morale issue.....however!

Machaka elephants have morale 10(instead of 9) + 2 from a Beastmaster leading them, + whatever experience(usually at least 1 after cleaning up indies), + sermon of courage....can easily have 15+ morale.

Edit: And later, Ragha has those War Elephants, with armor and long spears to repel....can be pretty nasty.

EDIT: Speaking of; a list of nations in the OP would be nice.

Don't go there, I once asked Dayyalu kindly for a nation list in D20 and got this monstrosity:

DAYYALUSCELERIASQEECOOUL
MISILOONMACHAKAJAGREENLE
RNSTARSPAWNSTRASHPLAYERB
ANDARLOGCOLDCROWSHINUYA
MAAGESILAUSTIENLIZZURDMA
RIGNONJOINEDTHE4THMANBER
EKANABYSIAMONDBLUTYSKOOL
NOODLESMICTLANINFINITUMU
RUKCHEFHATHAWAYARCOMATA
LARATAPYTHIUMMUTYATLANTIS

Also I think I made a list readable by humans back on page 3.

Useful knowledge. Thanks!

And as to your question about elephants, mostly humans won't use them against other human opponents because of the morale issue [...]

Informative, is not applicable. Is anyone savvy to how many squares a given unit will attempt to trample per turn? Guessing just the one (so effectively 3 attack 10, 17 AP damage attacks per elephant per turn)? This scripting business is pretty anxiety inducing..

 

[Isiloon]

I started next to Grimmie in both games and we made deals, Grimwulf is a fucking bastard but i've yet to see him break a deal.



except that one time he made a NaP with Dreead and then sent stealthy guys with pop kill items into his territory... so just make sure you define what the 'a' in NaP means

:D

Also - 5 provinces... with Xibalba?

Post your pretender so we can fucking roast you noob give you constructive criticism

....

Speaking of elephants - someone didn't have a very good time this turn, won't mention names or anything...

elephants are not really into glamor
:cheersmate:

Also - feel bad about blowing my own trumpet, but I haven't lost a single centaur since the game started, they are amazingly strong and the bless I gave them seems to be exceeding my expectations.

Not only are they whooping Indie ass, but I'm pretty confident about their performance against other sacreds too

It wasn't my request. Furthermore, going AI without asking for a sub is very poor etiquette.

I'm gonna rollback, hope we get a turn for Xibalba, and search for a sub. If you wanted to fuck up a promising game by gifting to Grimwulf an entire nation freely and damaging us all, you did well.

EDIT: Awesome. We got Xibalba back. Extending until I find a sub.

Don't do this shit again, it's sad Valentine day for everyone else out here, comrade.

EDIT: Also, Starspawns, STAY THE FUCK OUT of the land there. It's friendly advice. YOU don't have Invuln 10 gamebreakers and the elephants kill you fine, so enjoy the waves and leave the abovewater stuff to me.

Good? We can make a deal for the details.

 

[Muty]

Go fuck yourself, maybe you missed it last time.

edit:

Don't do this shit again,

There won't be a next time, you can stuff your threats up your ass.
