So what do you people think about the graphs, as they stand? Personally, I'm curious as to why Mictlan's doing so badly. Is their starting position really that bad?

My big question is... How does Patala get a Vampire this early? I'm so very confused.

Edit: Also, apologies to Bogarus, no offense was meant for my previous statement. I just thought the irony was funny.

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.

See:
So I got my prophet killed early on through forgetting to script one squad and attacking a province full of barbarians. This turn I can appoint a new prophet and I just got this great random event.
It's one of the new ones I believe.

Ah, that'd do it. I got an interesting event this turn that makes it look like Fortune Tellers are useful for more than just preventing bad events and they may in fact fish for good ones as well?

I don't think so : there is a available physical form for pretenders that have a luck-ability that increase the rate of good events (and it's not the fortune teller one), isn't there ?

I may as well spoil it because I'm not really in a position to benefit and it'll be an interesting experiment to see if it only works for me. It says:

Quote
Coleslaw the Völva has forseen a major event that will occur in 3 months time. This is what was forseen:

The stars are right for conjurations.

There's nothing special about this Völva. She isn't my prophet, she has no levels or Hall of Fame status, and nothing else has happened in the province she's in since the game started. Völvas DO have Fortune teller (5%), though.

Fortune Tellers have a chance at predicting global events, which gives you a bit of advance notice to get ready.  It's a nice little feature that makes me like T'ien Ch'i even more than I did before. ^_^

It ain't great for early-game expansion, but it has other benefits.

I just got the turn file in my mails, and I have to wait 8 hours before I can get on a computer with Dominions installed ...
Why do I even need to work ? Couldn't I just stay at home on the computer all day ? :(

rumble rumble rumble RUMBLE !

So today I learned that if your vampire prophet hits himself with his own banishment, he takes damage from it.

First to turn in my file this time! I'm not even compensating for my HUGE ARMIES and FANTASTIC RESEARCH. The revolution is undeterred, even if most every province around it seems to consist of around a hundred heavy cavalry and crossbowmen.

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.

I must say, I love having a pretender that can take that shit on and win. It's really helped my expansion.
