Just a note: Classes are likely to keep me pretty busy in the next few days. I'll try to check my email every 24 hours, but I have some major studying to do.

Just a note: I will be unable to send a turn for the next ~ 36 hours.
Then back to normal, as I will be at home again...

Turn 9:

Looks like my next turn overview will span the greatest length of in-game time yet. Just one more big school project to go, then I can focus on spending some time doing a write-up. So maybe late Friday/Saturday.

My turn is in. I am getting shitty luck with Pans, and will probably have to make a Pandemoniac to actually get slaves.

In. Judging from what I can see on the coast, some people may be about to receive an unpleasant surprise.

Incidently, anyone up for a TCP/IP game this weekend? I have hosting technology.

I might have time on sunday, though I don't really know what I would need to do.

Be at a computer with a functional copy of Dominions 3.

The one issue is the timezone delta - I'm in +10 GMT (Same timezone as sydney). and it;s daylight savings time.

No idea where you are, I don't mind getting up early or whatever, but some time sunday my time is best for me.

Heh. OK: We own Scraw Pointe and Carnag. For the time being, the goat folk will not expand further than that. We're just taking one province past those bridges and sitting on our hooves for the next year. You two can kiss or fight or divide up the rest of the neutrals however you want.

Oh dear. The legions of Arcoscephale have encountered a new neighbor. One who didn't contribute to Soulforger's "Save Christmas" gem trust. This might be interesting. It looks like I have 2 options here. One is to avenge the terrible holiday season by beginning an unspeakably violent crusade. The other is to try and arrange something diplomatic. And the in-game text messages don't support image attachments. Time to see whether there's an easy way to type links to Photobucket files. And possibly make a lower-resolution version of the world map to mark up in Paint so file sizes don't get too crazy.

------------

I should note that I have allied with Vanheim. I am very close to them, and to compensate for their incredibly weak start, I will attack anyone who declares war on them in the near future. Giving up that delicious Earth income is almost enough to bring tears to Soulforger's eyes, but Arco law clearly stipulates that taking them down now would violate the don't-be-a-jerk part of our foreign policy.

Cthullu, why do you not have any research?

Seriously, what the hell?

Also, sent.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 6:58 pm

He's Ermor. His mages can research OR make free undead soldiers. He's probably building up an army of longdead horsemen.

name_here · Post by **name_here** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 7:03 pm

That's not a good enough reason to not have any. I'd expect him to lag behind somewhat, but some of them should be earmarked for research.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 7:13 pm

Personally, I always feel tempted to just rush for Enchantment and skele-spam for my early expansion. I almost never reanimate with my mages as MA Ermor. In the few times I played LA Ermor, I liked the fact that I needed priests and my best ones weren't mages at all. Less conflict there, and I don't always think that I might have missed some golden opportunity where more RP or tiny men might have improved things.

Akula · Post by **Akula** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 8:42 pm

The key is to take an awake great sage, and then use maybe two of your arch-theurges for research in the first year, you want skellispam (enchant 3), communions (thraum 1), remote death searching (conj 2), and skull mentors (const 4). After that you should be able to make your research asplode through forging 2-3 skull mentors a turn for about 10 turns. Get evocation 7 and construction and conjuration of whatever. Spam skeletons and Nether Darts, get Tartarians, win game.

As an aside, I'm always so tempted by a drain dominion when I think about playing ermor.

I'm waiting for my castles to come online, then I can use regular theurgs.

Edit: However, I know so much more about the game now that I did when I made my pretender, so I'd do it differently.

Turn sent in.

I'm feeling both crowded, and a little hard done by in terms of gems. Not good.
