Must be the personal verification system at work. Try sending turns just before you would stale. Works 100%.

Considering that Sqeecoo was lying and has no intention of giving his cap to Arco, and that I retreated to leave a path for Arco, I am now evaluating to go AI.

That's some epic diplomatic victory

 

[mondblut]

This makes sense.

How does this shit even work? I mean, if availability of formations does not depend on leadership, what it depends on and where can I see it? Even crown of command doesn't unlock it for those who don't have it.

 

[sqeecoo]

Depends just on initial non-modified leadership being 80+ I think.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Well in previous Dominions games(correct me if I'm wrong), Crown of Command etc. didn't boost the "Can lead X number Squads at +Y morale" tag. It just increased the total amount your commander could lead.

In Dominions5, in order to do complex formations, your leader now has to have a BASE command level capable of leading three squads(80+). So, because my Shah has a base command of 60, which doesn't allow three squads, and thus doesn't allow complex formations, the unique crown anointing him King of Kings is....kinda shit(blah blah fanaticism, but I can have tons of H2 priests, who cares.). Dude was supposed to lead my flying hordes into the mid-game with formation trickery.

"I am King of Kings, deemed worthy by the divine Magi to protect and gain power from the sacred land under our very feet, your Shahanshah! Now, if you could all just get in line please?"

"Naahhhhhhh"

 

[Reinhardt]

And Vanheim isn't listed on the page lol - who's playing them?

It's me. I checked the island with sailing scout two turns beforehand and so I was sure to see no one but indies. Sorry for this battle - I didn't want to attack you.

Meanwhile, the great volvas of Midgard explore the diving world and gather the knowledge. Below is a great masterpiece created by them.

Spoiler

I was sure he is a video games blogger but then I checked his channel

Just once clicked on this video and now all my jewtube feed consists of dominions videos.

Dayyālu, did you set Impossible AI for this game? Have you ever played against Impossible AI in Dom5?

 

[Joined on the 4th of July]

"well in that case I'll go AI" has some extra bite now

Do we need anti-monkey coalition?

 

[Dayyālu]

Dayyālu, did you set Impossible AI for this game? Have you ever played against Impossible AI in Dom5?

Yeah. It gets a shitton of free Pretender Points at creation and a shitton of extra resources and gold and gems an' shit.

It's that bad? AI is still dumb as a bag of bricks from my SP tests.

 

[Grif]

Btw, can we set the timer to 48 hours now? Might be getting a little hectic down here on this end, and it'll be good to have some flexibility on when to do my turns.

 

[Grimwulf]

It's that bad?

From what my scouts tell me, this wasn't even the beginning. Goddamn Patala used to be a micro-nation with no forces to speak of. What have you done?

"Free provinces" my ass.

 

[KoolNoodles]

Sure am glad I didn't march down into Patala and start attacking them. Have yet to receive the courtesy call, "Your nation filled with infidels will surely die, we declare war" etc.

I'll let Grimwulf handle this.

 

[sqeecoo]

Have you people never heard of euthanasia? Please, someone kill me already! I love a good last stand but waiting for someone to get around to killing me tempts me to go AI

You had your chance. Now I'm forced to domkill you, and prepare Atlantis the best to be an unholy horror when I go AI.

 

[Isiloon]

Patala is going to destroy the world, we must stop the AI or it will kill us all.

 

[mondblut]

The last couple of pages is some kind of Dominions 6: Summer of Love.

I want "comply with my outrageous demands or I take my toys and quit playing" drama back

 

[Isiloon]

Patala going AI against Grimwulf who completely dominates them otherwise, is somewhat interesting because Grimwulf is already in a dominant position and he has some chance of winning ... and staying busy before he conquers the rest of us...

But I hope nobody else goes AI because it will really throw this game to the dogs tbh if they do, with impossible AI it's like... I don't really find it fun playing against meat-tsunami tactics of the AI

 

[KoolNoodles]

Now selling complete map of east side plus north/south bits for 50GP.

Edit: and a little bit of Atlantis/Lemuria/Arco/Midgard

Also, Erythea back from the grave, looks to take most of the water.

 

[Lizzurd]

Eh. Ulm. Why did you do it? FOR WHAT

 

[Muty]

uhm why did I do what? I still haven't seen the new turn.

[Muty]

oh fuck, sorry that was not really intentional. I guess I moved instead of sneaking derp
