I also suffer from the "BUuuuuttttt maaagggeess belong in the capital/lab and never anywhere else" syndrom, tbh. Maybe i should play the greeks next time around, since they are the super researchers...

[Karlito]

This was fun, but I'm going to switch to AI now.

[ThtblovesDF]

Alright, sorry to see you leave.

I wonder what the AI will do.

[gman8181]

Also sorry to see you go.

Attack indiscriminately?

Edit:  Die apparently.

[ThtblovesDF]

Guess the Dom kill finally rolled around, too.  GG

[gman8181]

So, is there going to be another Dominions round coming up?  I could go for MA Ermor or LA Ulm.

[ThtblovesDF]

I was thinking about LA Ulm and vampire spawm, but only had a mild intrest in that anyway. While Ry'leh is a ton of void-dream, fun, I'd assume we have someone with a deep desire for those, too. Should try LA pangaea in singleplayer, just to see how that turns out...

Or Jormon, maybe? They have the highest preceision recuitable commander, if I checked correctly, with 14 - and a multi-hero with 15 accuracy, so those guys should hit every now and then - wonder how that works with a Bow of War?
They also have a ton of special summons, but I know to little about magic to judge what they are good for - there default mages are also extremly limited and there resouce costs are high... I would fear a early rush crushing me before I can explore them, but also would love to work for the highest bidder with a army of assassins with silly bows - there is some lovly flavor to a (well armed) human standing up to the somewhat extreme commanders we can see in LA.

[gman8181]

Ryleh is mildly annoying to both the enemy nations and to the player himself/herself.  If anyone plays as LA Ryleh or Ermor, there is a decent chance I will attack you just to negate the annoying dominion (regardless of how much I may actually like you).

Ulm is sort of fun.  I don't generally use the vampire counts but I do like vampire lords a lot.  There's also those nice stealthy guys for causing unrest along with forge bonuses and easy access to send horror.  Blood economies are extra work though.

Pangea is good too but I feel like a large part of the play style is using stealth armies, which I never got the hang of.  Still carrion beasts are pretty sweet.

Not too sure about Jomon in all honesty.

Hello round 11! Sorry for interrupting, but round 10 is in a bit of a bind. I'm the current admin in Round 10, and we're down a player right now. MA C'tis is currently involved in a fairly large war, and up until now it's been basically a stalemate. You'll be in a corner position (bordering only two nations, one of which is an ally), and your dominion will help fight off Ermor (sure, his longdead won't suffer from disease, but those old mages will!). You've also got several allies (including me ) in the war. It's turn 60, so if you want to get a feel for what the late-game might look like, this could be a good way to do it.

PM me if you're interested or just want to take a look - I'd be glad to help either way.

Nice to see that. I'm from round 10, and I would want to try LA Atlantis.
I think other round 10 players would want to play.

[ThtblovesDF]

Turns out two eyes of aiming just make you blind...

Jormon Ninjas have 20 precision with one of them thou, with a piercer or so they would make competent assassins against anything human, but the overall troop cost is way out of line to deal with anything on LA level.

Don't particularly want to but if you can't find anyone else, I'll do it.

[Bluerobin]

I'm going to miss my turn, but there's not much I can do with it anyway, so no worries.

[Endymion]

Oh look, another dire portent. And Pangaea puts a third enchantment on the board with Gift of Health. I was wondering who was going to cast that first. I had considered it myself, and I think Lanka had as well, but of course Pangaea is the natural shoe-in when it comes to nature spells.

In other news, I think I'm overthinking the whole SC/thug kitting thing. I just have so many lovable options, and I don't know what to choose.  How do I balance all of these resists, protection, defense, encumbrance, reinvig.... gha. It is going to drive me insane. And the worst part is knowing that if I screw up someone will be picking up a lot of awesome loot. Awesome loot that does not include pants, because no one in dominions wears pants.

Hmm.... maybe I should wait for a slightly better chassis. Can you rename uniques? Like the royalty? I mean, I'd give them names that are still royal... they'd just be downgraded to princesses. I sorta have a name scheme going, in case anyone hasn't figured it out. (Oh, and is there anything special preventing the water queens from going on land or do I just need an amulet of the fish or whatever it was?)

[Karlito]

Yeah, you can rename unique summons. I think two of the water Queens need an amulet of the fish, and one is naturally amphibious.

I've found it's really best to tailor your SC/thugs toward specific threats, rather trying to make them dominate everything. Defence definitely is the last thing you should be worrying about, as it's usefulness is diminished against multiple opponents.
