Dominions Decline 11: The Grimgrinch vs Christmas

[Dreaad]

Dang Dayyālu how many hacks did you activate?

Edit: Also shame on ALL the "pro's" of the codex who got this completely wrong I guess, Oceania troops got tired at swinging at ghosts?

"I did not have sexual relations with that cheat engine."

"You doubtin' me, son?"

Seriously, I did what I could and the rest was luck. Plus Ethereal and Awe, still dangerous forces on turn 2. And the snek was too slow to fight or scare my troops.

 

[Grimwulf]

I was about to write a rage-post in "wtf are you doin', Oceania" fashion, but then I SUDDENLY realized that my heart goes for Therodos in this one.

Keep it up, ghosties.

 

[Dreaad]

By the way Dim if you have questions as to what happened feel free to ask we may be cruel and laugh, but we will explain.

 

[Malakal]

Using mercs was a mistake definitely, wet ones are shit, thats one. They probably triggered the hp rout. And rushing this soon isnt a good idea either, you need some recruited troops with decent morale. Cant speak about positioning.

 

[sqeecoo]

wet ones are shit

I take offense at that!

 

[Malakal]

I am sorry I dissed the power of 8 att troops.

 

[Malakal]

Also fighting ethereal at this point is a pure coin toss, 3/4 miss 1/4 kill, guess what happened here...

 

[mondblut]

Seriously, this build is shit and I would suggest myself to Oceania to off me: SC God, and a 15k province nearby can give a nice boost. Plus manpower to siege it quickly can be levied, and I can't do a thing as my bless is subpar to fight underwater. Plus nuking a domkill nation.

No, the domspread is weak but it's there. You should park your Pret and your Prophet on my cap and stay there, a waste of precious turns in the early game. Go for a stock kill, faster methinks. Remember: I can't recruit a thing bar Sacreds UW, POOR AMPHIBIAN sacreds.

Even Starspawns or Atlantis would have been ded in this position: with Therodos and without a Awake Pret, it's a joke.

Nice bait and switch, bro :D

Well, I am back, sort of. Almost tempted to leave Therodos in Dayyalu's skilled hands. Almost.

 

[Dayyālu]

Well, I am back, sort of. Almost tempted to leave Therodos in Dayyalu's skilled hands. Almost.

Next turn the beauty is all yours. We like 'em beastly, wet and chubby, just like Oceania is.

 

[Dim]

I remember hearing somewhere that a dominion kill results in the castle and contents of said castle disappearing so I should definitely try combat again.

No, no and no. A Domkill makes only units disappear: gemsites and fortresses are safe. Domkill is a safe way to kill an unsiegeable enemy, but this is not the case.

Next turn I'll leave you with dear mondblut, and you will experiment as much as you wish.

+1 gem.

 

[Malakal]

Yes I love those. A treasure has been found - 10g! Wow!

 

[Grimwulf]

You call it bad luck? This is bad luck:

Resolution is fucked up, I know - dis was a long time ago.

The payout will be in lumps and its goatfish versus the bones of an eaten fish.

I'm kinda sad. My warlord, didn't change sprites when I prophesied him into a warmaster.

War Masters are weird. They can wield two default battleaxes no problem, but if you try to equip any other two-handed weapons in both hands, they act like virgins. 0/10, would no Prophetise.

 

[Dreaad]

B-b-but he's the chosen one who leads the armies of the space marines abysians!

I'm not really a fan of assassin prophets, their jobs have too many hazards.

 

[Grimwulf]

Anointed of Rhuax would make up for a great defensive SC if Prophetised. Look at dem stats in Heat 3 - almost like having an awaken expander. The only thing he lacks is hp, and that's exactly why I would make him a Prophet.

He needs to be properly equipped, tho. Oh, well.

 

[Dreaad]

It's fine. Warmaster with no equipment is still a mini thug, he could probably take most PD 1-3.

 

[Grimwulf]

Why does the same thing happen to me every game? People attack me, get rekd, then tell everybody that evil Grimwulf must die for his crimes.

RIP, Deepeye the Prophet of Agartha.

 

[Dreaad]

Poor misunderstood Russians, it's not our fault their provinces want to be with our nation! The annexation votes were all legal I tell you!

Shush. I don't tell that you are evil, and I reckon that you are a fine, if a 'lil paranoid, chap, but I do tell that your march towards world domination should be stopped sooner or later.

no one ever listens

On other matters, we have heard that the new Therodoian leadership has some problems. We are sad to hear this, and we mantain that Sobriety is the best weapon around.
