I've started a few test games with two candles (one in a neighboring province even). Maybe everyone gets a temple check on turn 0 or something.

Should be easy to test. Start out a game with 1 dominion and see how many candles you get.

With the new turn comes our first throne-conquest.  Llamaserver really should work on getting that fixed, I think; it should display only thrones claimed, not thrones conquered. ^_^

And Pythium seems to have been hit by a bad random event, as their income tanks.  That's really unfortunate, this early in the game...

DAMMIT I FORGOT TO SET THE ARROW-CATCHERS TO GUARD COMMANDER >:(

Other than that, everything's fine. I no longer have the lowest income, which is nice. Rumia has nine kills to her name now and is completely unafraid of crossbows.

Thanks for everyone not bidding on The Wet Ones. I'll try to leave some alive for another contract.

That's an actual thing that exists? I had no idea.

"really unfortunate" indeed. Well, that won't help my slow beginning... :(
At least, I have a unit to counter that unrest.

I'm not sure but I think we all need to patch our games to 4.04 before playing turn 4. Steam users update automatically, gamersgaters can just redownload a patched version from GG while those who bought it on desura apparently have to wait until it comes out on desura. That may or may not take a while.

So update your game to 4.04 and then play turn 4, I'll postpone hosting if necessary on account of desura.

Quote from: Dev Team
they [desura] have had version 4.04 for about 3 days now and it's still waiting for approval. Anyway it should be available for Desura users any day now, it usually doesn't take more than a few days to get approved.

You can use the Desura key to activate your game on Steam. That's what I did.

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.

Registered my desura key on steam too, and submitted my turn.
And I got another bad event.
I should have gone for a Fortune Teller with 3 in luck pretenter...
I am proud to announce you I have yet to get my initial income back, and that midgard has 165% of my current income... :I

 :-\

I feel bad for doing well. Also, I haven't seen the turn yet, but you got me to look at the game page on llamaserver to check my income. That was... more than expected.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Don't feel bad. If you want we can gang up on you in about fifteen to twenty turns :P

How much misfortune did you take? Sounds nasty. Don't worry about comparing yourself to Midgard, that's just crazy scales build that he's using.

It's a combination of my scales being about 75% of the way to maximizing my income potential and some decent nearby starting provinces, from what I can tell. I might have also gotten a good event, I haven't seen the turn yet.

Unrest +30, Misfortune +3.
I did reduce the unrest, but the misfortune gave me a "Income -10" the next turn.
Now, I'm preaching, hoping it will reduce the misfortune...
