You might also want to plan to deal with Arco (though everyone should) as that nation can do some very nasty things.

Erm.... care to give me a hint? Other than a good early game I'm not exactly sure which strengths should be leveraged, which weaknesses solved for, etc.

Magic and communions.  Lots of them.  Go through this if you want to get a good idea of Acro's strengths.  Reading this LP is one of the things that got me into Dominions.

Huh, what are those letters on his strategic map that seem to show likely sites?

[Darkwind3]

Arcoscephale's dominion offers it improved information on areas within it (stuff like population and gold), as well as information on unsearched sites. The site reports are usually pretty inaccurate though.

e: actually it is every Arcoscephale, not just LA. I do not know my nations!

e2: and the wiki says that Arcoscephale's scrying doesn't provide information about sites. Perhaps this was changed in a patch? The LP is rather old.

e3: on further investigation (actually looking at the LP) I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Heya, wrong thread. When I login to post somewhere it goes to the last thread I viewed before that one.

[Duuvian]

Arco also has really good though high in resources cost human heavy infantry and healers to cure afflictions.

STOP GIVING THEM INFO!

Also, I'll be doing my turn tonight (busy at work right now)

[ThtblovesDF]

I personally really don't mind if we all learn a little, the pros already know, the newbs and so on can learn from it.

I played around with pangaea a bit, but find myself struggling with a bless-strat, it just isn't my kinda horse... or centaur-ya-know? Resource costs are outragously high, which also makes me struggle... sure, I can do a bit of everything, but... not really?

   Okay, Tien Chi and Mictlan have submitted Pretenders so if you have already submitted it didn't work if you aren't me or Karlito. Just in case a refresher on how to submit pretenders.

First of all, you need to download the map and the mod, and put the files into the map and mod folders of your dom3 installation respectively.
Then go to the options menu and enable the mod.
Next use the pretender creation tool in the game tools menu to create a pretender and send the file(to be found in your /dominions3/savedgames/newlords; named <your_nation_era_number.2h>, where number is most likely "0" if it's the only pretender you've created so far for this nation.) to "pretenders [at ] llamaserver [dot ] net" with the game name as the subject.
Game name is "Bay12GamesRound12".

   After you submit your pretender you should receive a email back confirming the submission. The game page is Here and you can see various things about the game there such as who has submitted their character before the game starts and who has turned in their turns after the game starts.

Hey I know it's probably far too late to ask for it, but do any of you have tips for LA C'tis ?
I've been following all your discussions here and I really feel like the guy that hasn't done is homework  . I've pretty much picked C'tis because hey, they look cool. Unfortunately I don't find any guide for them on the dom3Wiki. But oh well I don't really ask for a full guide on them, but maybe just a little tip on their strength and weakness if any of you know them ?

[moghopper]

Right I'll send my pretender tonight then

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Waterplouf, it looks like from their units and spells that LA C'tis is undead based. With their holy spells you can buff your undead units to better protect them from banishment and buff their attack ability. One thing to make note of is that instead of just making some random guy a prophet you have 3H in the Lizard King. Get one and make him a prophet for the 4H will let you use your one national spell (Power of the Reborn King) which gives +4 attack and action points to all undead on the battlefield. Combined with the 3H spell (Royal Protection) which gives +4 magic resistance to all friendly undead that fail a easy MR test on the battlefield you can power up your undead easily early game. I won't go any further though I have seen a few things to take advantage of, you just have to look at what units you can get and summon. Oh and skele spam, it will let you take early provinces, especially with the prior mentioned spells. Of course this is all done as theorycrafting as I haven't actually tried any of this and someone else should probably chime in if they see anything wrong with what I have said.

Edit: I found a guide, don't know how good it is though.

thanks a lot akhier, that was exactly the kind of advice I was looking for . I am going to do a lot of reading on my side when I get a little more time also. I think I'll submit my pretender tomorrow morning or later tonight if I have the time, don't want to hold everything up.

This might have some useful tidbits if you haven't seen it already:

Yes, thats what I linked in my edit and it seems overall decent now that I have read it some.
