Dominions Decline 11: The Grimgrinch vs Christmas

[mondblut]

Come to think of it, I am pretty close by....all I need is the proper equipment for a rescue op.

Well, you could loan us some gear. We're too busy throwing shit down from the walls (the fact it swims upward doesn't help) to research anything.

Why isn't no body attacking Tien Chi's capital? I get all these diplo messages about "Now is the time to strike!!", "AZN's are going down!!", "I'm almost at their capital!!". Then when I get there.... it's just 3 small raiding groups all sitting around a fort while Tien Chi summons and recruits more stuff

Not to worry. All part of the plan.

I think I'm Tien's only neighbor who's not taking part in the gangbang. I feel weird and different.

Lizzurd gets ganged early on in almost every game. Makes you think.

 

[Lizzurd]

Grimwulf never gets ganged early on and almost always wins. Makes you think.

 

[mondblut]

Even early on, everyone is too scared of him to try

(it's not like early game Niefels can't shrug off the rest of the world combined without noticing, ganging up or not)

 

[Grimwulf]

I'm just too damn friendly, that's all.

 

[Dreaad]

Agartha could probably kill the giants later on by themselves, super elite giants don't do well against 100+ olms and earth meld/maws of the earth.

 

[Grimwulf]

Sure, I would love to see a cold-blooded nation going full aggro on Niefel.

 

[KoolNoodles]

It was tempting to bum rush with Jaguars, but it's MORE tempting to hardly lose any while wiping the floor with literally anybody else.

I have personally offed a N9 Niefel player with the old EA Atlantis. He was an adequate player too, and I needed just a little bit of diplo. It's doable.

Prob is, Grimmie is beatable on the battlefield. Sure, not on a 1vs1 if you are not Malakal abusing RoS. Prob is, any time you get a coalition going, half of the players will be already in his pockets and the other half will wait until you get killed off, 'cause they are scared.

Plus, he's fun to have around and to have as an ally.

 

[Dreaad]

Don't worry, I got this.

 

[Grimwulf]

Plus, he's fun to have around and to have as an ally.

Bottom line, I am more fun than Lizzurd.

We could keep you around providing the funnies in your last sieged castle. It would be the perfect solution. Best of both worlds.

 

[Lizzurd]

Guys. You know what you need to do. Attack Grimwulf before it is too late.

That slot is already taken, and I am fun too. Just ask Oceania

Why in Abysian gods name would you ever build salamanders? You get 6 fucking fire gems a month with that you can summon a literal horde of fire snakes which are exactly the same thing, except they don't eat gold..... Maybe if salamanders had wings....

They are very situational, but mostly useless. Dat Enc 20, tho.

Edit: what did you expect? They are lizards, after all.

Prob is, Grimmie is beatable on the battlefield.

I haven't witnessed this to be true, he even wins when all of his commanders get killed.

 

[Dreaad]

By the way men. Every 20 turns I am considering extending the game by 6 hours and turning off auto host, the returning to 24 hours (to combat the time creep). Personaly it isn't affecting me but if a majority wish it to be so, then it shall be done.

"That slot"? Can't we have more than one?

 

[Grimwulf]

Can't we have more than one?

We already do. Look at TC, the poor guy.

 

[Lizzurd]

We already do. Look at TC, the poor guy.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 CENTIMETERS OF SCALES IN CHITIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY BODY. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH CELL OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF CENTIMETERS IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

 

[Grimwulf]

Lizzurd has gone full HARLAN ELLISON mode.
