Yeah, Thank the lord (of Bogarus) for saving Pythium.

Indeed. SUPERB OWL knows what we'd do without Pythium. Cry ourselves to sleep every night, probably.

And it seems to be hosting again.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Every turn, I ask myself: What would Boulder do?

Trample jaguars

I've got something relatively important to ask. I'm sieging Mictlan, now, and Karlito's bless includes an air shield. I've got the capacity to cast Flaming Arrows for my sizable archer force, but the way the two interact, his Air Shield would not help against the flaming part of the attack.

I'm debating with myself whether or not I should use it - Flaming Arrows has been one of my aims from the start, as has a strong archer force, but I would really rather not abuse a bug. I think Mictlan's mostly in the bag, but what do people in general think of using this effect to skip past Air Shield? I don't like it myself, and probably won't use it myself.

Postponed 24h to avoid stales.

Also read this:

I've noticed I needed to resend my turn the last two turns. The server did acknowledge the submission via email, but did not update the turn roster. I do not know whether it would use the turn file without resending, or just stall. To be on the safe side, I'd advise you all to make sure your turn is in as per the roster on the llamaserver whenever you submit your files.

[Boksi]

Oh, I'm still alive? Sorry for dragging out the turn everyone. I hope you don't mind me going AI; I've already done what scripting I can, there's nothing else I can do now.

[lijacote]

I don't think anyone can grudge you at this point. It was glorious seeing you stand against all your enemies for as long as you did, Boksi. We shall name a square after Rumia, who died only because of sorcery, not for want of might.

[Delta Foxtrot]

GG Boksi. I'll echo what lijacote said, even if it was my sorcery that did Rumia in.

I think this is the first time in Dominions the RNG gave me fortifications in a province. And I hate it for doing that, as I can't recruit the ones I recruited in my only other province.  :/

I was pretty surprised that you built a fort there.

Do note that you can actually demolish your own forts, temples and labs. All commanders should be able to do that, just click on them to open the command menu and the demolish option should be near where the usual build commands are.

I'd probably keep the fort though, but I'm not familiar with Pythium's out-of-fort specials. Maybe it's actually worth it to demolish, damned if I know. But you can definitely do that.

Pythium has some interesting out-of-fort units. It's one of the few nations that do.

I'm 99% sure you can't demolish your own temples.

You are correct, I just checked. It's only for labs and forts.

[USEC_OFFICER]

You are correct, I just checked. It's only for labs and forts.

Not entirely certain why you'd want to smash your own temples though.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Having other people's dominion in your lands is never good. If they took bad scales it's just bad, and even if they took good scales you don't get the beneficial effects of those (correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure I read something to that effect elsewhere).
So you don't want to be beset by other people's dominion. And that's before we consider something like Ermor's popkill or MA C'tis' disease spreading.

With that in mind I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere wanted to demolish a temple or two of theirs to reign in their own dominion spread, so as to not instigate an unwanted war. Granted, that's wrecking one or more 400g temples just to avoid a war. In a winner-takes-it-all wargame.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Ah. I guess that makes sense then.
