Second picture doesn't show up for me.  How much regen did umm "wonder woman" have?  Just got my turn in an email but too tired to make intelligent decisions... It'll probably have to wait until tomorrow.

[Endymion]

Completely amphibious in CBM, excluding a few summons. I think in vanilla we're only poor amphib. It is amazingly useful to have amphibious scouts, since water provinces let you see so much of the map.

I read the thread before i loaded the new turn. Looks like I did good? Lets check...

**Good lord, those ladys (how much are they, 20 gold?) are so power gamed blessed they can stand up to 100 gold worth of units or more... So thats what it feels like to win a battle and yet lose a war - Ouch ouch.,..

**Good lord, those ladys (how much are they, 20 gold?)

No, they're 50 each. :/ And the one in charge is about 3x that.

I hope you don't mind the advice, but you might have better luck with centaurs rather than minotaurs, if there's going to be a next battle. The shield will help against arrows, and they're a little better protected. And I know Pangaea has cheap temples, but I see at least 600 gold that probably could have been better spent on soldiers. (Though I suppose it's a bit late for that now)

[ThtblovesDF]

Appriciated - bit of a reality check, compared to ai/bot games, where all that works just fine.

Oh, I just found this wiki page on troop placement/scripting that could be useful to people: http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki/Placement

A dryad + 20 Centaurs/Centaur Warriors is a great way to mess with/raid your neighbour's provinces, This early on I imagine most provinces don't have very ridiculous PD and the Dryad's +25 stealth will make them pretty hard to detect.

[ThtblovesDF]

Oh I tried that, in lesser scale. He had 10++ pd in every province - as I said, its a bit loopsided.

A thought about delaying this write-up a few turns, but I decided I don't really care what it reveals about my current tactical position.

Spoiler: Turn 13 (click to show/hide)

Thesaurus allowed himself a small smile as the undulating victory cry echoed from his men. The beastmen had not broken easily this time. Though they lacked any understanding of tactics and were often armed with nothing more than a crude wooden spear, they fought with animal savagery. His fellow chieftain, Scylurus, was less reserved, riding out in front of the line to drive his spear through the chest of an already dying goatman. "Forward!" he cried in triumph, "Forward to their hellish forest!"

The Androphag archers, being queer as they were, were paying him little heed. For them, the end of a battle marked the beginning of a feast, and a few groups had already set about skinning centaurs or setting up fires. The smile faded from Thesaurus's lips as he surveyed the remaining troops. The last of his own tribe's warriors had been killed or scattered in this last battle and now only the accursed maneaters remained to him. "And one other," he reminded himself, and trotted over to Scylurus. "Since you are so eager to go," he told the younger chief, "ride out ahead of us, and see if you can't find more of them to hunt. Do this and I'll grant you the pelt of that white horse-man."

"A worthy gift, warchief," the other man replied with a grin, "Look for me again in one week." And then, kicking his horse into an unsustainable gallop, he rode off to the south.

Not four days had passed when Scylurus rode back into the camp, atop a ragged and struggling horse. Thesaurus was about to call him out for riding his mount too hard, when he saw the fear in the younger man's eyes. "Back," Scylurus gasped, "we must ride back!"

[ThtblovesDF]

Well you have only about 10 shots per archer, or so, right? ... right? I might not be try-hard enough to stand a big chance, but I try to stay in the game for a while, if only to observe and poke...

Haha that is a rediculous number of naked women.  Good writing though.

Archers tend to suffer greatly in Dominions sometimes even to uselessness due to how easy it is to outright disable them for the entire battle. As well since disabling all archers is the same way you disable fliers, which you need to deal with to protect mages, it tends to happen organically anyway.

It isn't hard to kill that many archers if you planned ahead.

[Waterplouf]

My main computer is currently HS at the moment, so all I have is a crappy little laptop. The problem is I don't have dominion 3 on it and I don't see how to download it. I am going to send a PM to Kebooo as it seems he had the same problem as me when we began the game and got it fixed.

[Waterplouf]

Ok everything's fine now, thanks.

This is the first time I've ever considered Inkpot End to be a useful site. It amuses me.
