I would absolutely love to do a Disciple game.

[moghopper]

Would anyone be interested in a Noob only game?

[lijacote]

I'm sure if there's enough demand, we can just put up another game. 4.03 is newbie-only, but it's also full as of a couple of minutes ago.

We could start another one if we had the numbers...

[lijacote]

If we get at least four players, I can volunteer to admin for it. Gladly!

[Wiles]

I'd play if another game started up

[Mindmaker]

LA R'yleh are enigmatic as fuck.
Not the slightest clue on how to play them.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Something involving Astral spam and Communions? I dunno. I haven't really looked at them either.

[Mindmaker]

I guess and summons.
Although I really don't like their troops, can build anything effective.

[Puzzlemaker]

I would be down for it.

[moghopper]

If we do a noob game, what age should it be? EA, MA, LA?

[Delta Foxtrot]

LA R'lyeh is a pretty difficult nation. As you've noticed the troops suck and on top of that they have a popkilling dominion. As their population goes down, so does their income.

Wouldn't be a problem but their mages have a taste for the finer things in life They also get troops for free, but those troops require upkeep, suck in battle and usually starve further into uselessness due to their numbers. Oh and they need mages to lead them, so you can't sitesearch or research as much as someone else would on top of everything else. But it's ok, due to your popkilling and insanity causing dominion, other people will be happy to gank you out of the game early on. A splendid nation, all told.

To be fair, their mages are pretty damn awesome. They can also recruit (expensive) mindblasters, which is always a devastating thing to wield on the battlefield. MA R'lyeh is mostly the same as LA R'lyeh without the toxic dominion and freespawn. If you like the theme and lore of R'lyeh, I'd suggest you try the MA variant instead. It's tricky too but at least you're not getting killed by your own dominon. Powerful nation if used correctly but not as straightforward as MA "blacksteel pikes" Ulm for instance.

I mainly wanted to try them for the "free stuff from the void", but I guess it's too advanced since they are a magic centric race and I'm bad at magic.
I guess the Ashen Empire falls into the same category.

[E. Albright]

Well, MA R'lyeh still has the Voidgate, so you can get free stuff from the void, just a lot less of it.

[Mindmaker]

Well they are still magic centric and the whole conjuration tree is way to overwhelming.
I'd rather stick to evocation, construction and the various other schools for buffs.

Summoning strategies require you to know what you are doing.
