Damn you Karlito

Edit: It appears my every move is being analyzed by both Karlito and Bokti. Hopefully I will be able to surprise them with something which doesn't appear that often with Mictlan ^^

[Karlito]

Actually, what I did there was describe the opening moves I made in round 7.5. LA and EA Mictlan are basically the same.

[Boksi]

I'd like to note I don't have a lot of experience with a lot these nations. Many of these nations I haven't even played in single player. Of the nations in this game, I know Ermor and Agartha well, C'tis and Yomi somewhat, and the rest little if at all.

[Bluerobin]

Yeah, my amount of experience with EA in general is pretty pathetic. And, er, I've never actually played a game with EA Caelum past year one. So... yay? At this point I'm taking a page out of the book of some guy on the SA forum and going in assuming I'm not going to win, but seeing how long I can last, what works, and how much fun I can have while I'm playing.

I started taxing on the 2nd turn cause I forgot to do it on the first turn

Claiming Midria because its time to throw rocks at people who also throw rocks, albeit smaller ones.
I'm not exactly playing to win here either, altough I do have a mid~endgame plan if I survive the early game

[Korbac]

Early game plan : Get lots of provinces.
Mid game plan : Move to late game faster than opponents without losing too many provinces.
Late game plan : Steamroll.

I think that's a nice generalised strategy. There is the alternative

Early game plan : Take lots of provinces, make big armies.
Mid game plan : Roll over everyone.
Late game plan : Panic, you were meant to win by now and the enemy is stronger in terms research. Whoops.

[Bluerobin]

My typical strategy goes something like
Early game: Get a bunch of provinces.
Mid game: Get ahead in research, make a bunch of mages, armies, and forts, start getting set up for late game.
Late game: Whoops, there's an enemy supercombatant taking the west half of my empire. Whoops, there's an enemy team of raiding thugs bouncing around the north and east part of my empire. Oh, it looks like I don't have a south of my empire, what happened there? WHY DON'T I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DOMINIONS 3?

I think my problem's in the late game.

O RLY? 

EDIT : HUZZAH! Workaround ftw.

[Bluerobin]

Aww. Well, I can't get to the wiki, so even if I could do my turn I can't figure out what these indy mobs are to know whether it's safe to attack them... I think I'm just going to ignore them for now and submit my turn.

[Korbac]

I can give you some advice if you describe them

[Bluerobin]

Ko-Onis?

[Korbac]

The little, stubby demons?

Tougher than human indies, mainly due to their ability to assume a second, ethereal form when killed. If you've got a prophet you should be able to banish them away though. Else, I'd pick an easier target.

[TempAcc]

Basicaly hoburgs that can throw fire, and hit slightly harder but have less armor, and should be fire resistant. Not sure what leads them tho. And they have the ethereal form thing, meaning their true HP should be somewhere along the lines of 16~18 hp. They have real low prot tho.

[Bluerobin]

Ok. I'm mainly interested in resistances and anything weird that makes them immune to strategies, but it sounds like, as far as Caelum's concerned, they should be relatively safe to attack.

[Il Palazzo]

Ko-Onis?

Size 1, 12 def, average morale, low str, low protection, low HP demons with a secondary etheral undead form(you need to kill them in both forms). Vulnerable to banishment in both forms. Usually accompanied by 1holy priest, possibly with a pick in death.
I should know, we produce these in JapanYomi.

That's Ao-onis, ko-onis are the chaff fellows.
