Gonna need a twelve hour extension, at least. The time to do a turn right is getting up there, and the Dwarf Fortress release kind of wrecked my planning time tonight.

[tompliss]

I was wondering why HTTP 500 errors were back. Now, I know c:

[Shadowlord]

Oh, so that's why the forums are falling over.

[tompliss]

Well :

Most Online Today: 2427. Most Online Ever: 2427 (Today at 08:31:30)

Previous best was for the release of DF2012, and it caused the same crashes

...and we're back to wondering after Asphodel...

[Denzi]

Sorry, submitting right now. Had another wonderous 'Oh you work until midnight tonight, then come in at 10AM tomorrow' days, so didn't have any time to even get a post in. Just a shower and sleep.

Edit: And it's in.

[Karlito]

Ahahaha! I think this was the best turn of Dominions I've had, ever.

I've been stuck with low income provinces this entire game. I didn't realize looking at the map originally that this would happen but there's really only so much I can do with the income I've been given.  I mean honestly, I have growth 3 and order 3 and I was still constantly short on money.

Let's see; I had about 13 provinces before and of those, like 9 were either swamp, wasteland or the nice but situationally useless mountains.

Sigh, no point dwelling on it now.

Have your allies not been supporting you (if they've been getting more income)?

[Karlito]

I mean honestly, I have growth 3 and order 3 and I was still constantly short on money.

You guys also have heat 3 and sloth 3, which almost completely negates the income bonus you get from order and growth.

I did get some monetary support from them but for the most part they didn't fare too much better in that regard.

Sceleria was more or less as poor as I was for the duration of the game and Bandar would be hard pressed to offer monetary support to two starved nations while simultaneously sending troops to fend off attacks.

Eh, true but I think you'll find soon enough if you win the war that there really wasn't much to gain in regards to income provinces.

Edit: And I'm still pretty sure that would be a net positive modifier for income right?
Well yeah only a measly +3% though. I suppose that's pretty minuscule for a bonus.

[Karlito]

Comes out to just +3% if you're a human nation. More in the winter maybe, if the heat ever goes down. I've actually got a few things to say about the effectiveness of your team's gold spending, but I'll save it for the AAR I'm putting together.

=P Our team is all beginner/intermediate players, so there might have been some mistakes made. I think I spent almost all my money on legionnaires and theurgs though which is pretty typical for Pythium. Some gladiators too because I think they're good for defending around forts and some raptors/seraphs initially for patrol and research but I think I used them pretty effectively in combat.

Honestly, I think the last battle I had went decently all things considered. If I had a couple more mages, I think most of those minotaurs would have died from fatigue.

[gman8181]

Thanks for being so helpful with extensions. Saved me a couple times when I've been at work.

Well, if you really must have a silver lining, and are willing to scrap the bottom of the barrel to find it, at least all those wastelands and swamps aren't endlessly subjected to playdates with Jotunheim's buddies from the Throne of Gaia...
