Actually most of the dominions games are not done as pbem.
If you want to try out a network direct-connect, snag one of the always open ones on Dom4minions.
Just go ahead and grab two nations then hit start. It plays a lot like a solo game except for waiting for other people to make a turn.

If you want to setup a dom game on Dom4Minions just send an email to gandalf@community.net with the settings. The Hosting Games link tells about some of the settings you can use. Or any settings you can dream up.

(by the way this was all true of Dom3 also www.Dom3Minions.com  )

If you guys want a gentleman's agreement of no-looking-at-the-graphs, just say so.

In the meantime, dat Scelerian province count! :o

My province count isn't that impressive, and I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place (the hard place is, ironically, the ocean) so it's not going to get too much larger, I think. Honestly, I think my province count is disappointing given what Sceleria can rack up in the right circumstances.

Congratulations on your third province, by the way! :D

As for a gentleman's agreement, I'm not sure that that can be realistically enforced, and I'd prefer that either Llama take down the score graphs section or we just let it exist. Many of the graphs aren't terribly useful without a history behind them, regardless.

I did much better in my test games, I swear!

A couple of tough indies limited my options and even then I succeeded in losing most of my huskarls in an easy fight early on. I'd say I'm now two turns behind what I'd be based on my test runs. That third province was actually one of the tougest in the 'hood, so I should be snowballing from here onwards. *Knocks wood*

Also positive thinking. I'm not alone in the 3-5 province bracket and I actually outman the giants now. Life's looking up for Rus 8)

I changed hosting to 28h. Do try to be proactive with turn submission so we can keep the early game flowing smoothly.

Sorry, that came out a bit snippier than intended. All I meant is that we (not just you; I'm definitely including myself here) should make sure that extra time being available doesn't mean we feel compelled to use it...

There's always the ocean! I hear the tentacles are beautiful this time of year. I'm sure your elephants would love going for a swim more than they'd like my boring old mountains! That said, I hear the view from Ermor is wonderful as well. Perhaps you should take a look. ;)

Yes.  You should definitely go for a swim in the ocean with elephants.  I will have no defense against mr5 units and low-stat infantry.  An even better solution would be to have your mages lead mindless summons into the oceans.

Also, looks like everyone but BurntPies took that warning to heart...

In my defense, I was out this evening, watching Pulp Fiction at the cinema.

I know Sceleria frequents IRC, but how would you like to negotiate your terms? Private messages, public discourse... ? I am a generous god, DFNewb, and I'm sure we could have you discover it.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

So did, or did not Arco claim the throne of Night this turn? Our Markata Council for Throne Occupation is so confused...
