Well, It's commonly admitted that EA Marveni is pretty weak as well, and we still have players for it...

PS : 50 for sites is good then, was basing it on LA ._.

People just don't know how to use Marverni right. It's all about superior numbers. Say I was fighting 20 Hinnom Giants. Normally the will destry an army of about 50-60 dudes, but I can easily send 150+. Add to this the fact that my base unit has javelins, and others can go berserk, those giants ain't coming back.

As for late game... If I get there, you will see just what Marverni can do.

So, we've got 8 players for now, and I just PMed the 2 other players from 4.03.
With 8-10 players, we would need a nice map ...

If we agree on a non-random wrap-around map, I would suggest Peliwyr (the 4.02 map).

[moghopper]

sure

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'm here, I'm here! Don't start without me!

So, what's the era we're (tentatively) playing in?

[tompliss]

Up to now, everyone agrees on Early Era, it seems.


[EDIT] I added the nation list to the player list in the first post

[USEC_OFFICER]

Alright. I'm going to need some time to experiment then. I'll let you know what nation I'm playing ASAP though.

[moghopper]

Word of Wisdom: Try Mictlan

They have good troops and Jaguar warriors mulch most enemies, add a good bless and kill kill kill.

Another good choice: Atlantis/Pelagia

EA R'lyeh blows IMHO. You could dominate the seas pretty easy.

[lijacote]

Peliwyr's a sweet map. I can't recommend it enough as I'm really enjoying how 402 has turned out in it.

I'm... also about to ask something. I'd like to play a custom pretender. It's mostly because the demilich is a god damned ugly mess of a thing and the Thronebound Lich is infinitely more inspiring and in line with the new balance of Dominions 4. I mean, just compare the two sprites. Augh! That said, it's a pretty fierce immobile rainbow with access to cheap high death, not to mention the gemgen. If people don't want to let the polyps have their sweet friend, that's ok. Thought I'd ask before trying to crack the game and replace the sprite :p

On Moghopper's note: I'd advice against playing two water nations on Peliwyr. I can cede R'lyeh if someone else wants to play a water nation, though.

[moghopper]

I think I'll switch to Mictlan, if that's okay. I play Marverni alot, and want to try something different.

Edit: Pretender is ready as well.

ALL PRAISE PROSTATE CANCER!

[Mindmaker]

I'll pick Abysia out of the two.
Now I'll just have to think about pretender design.

[tompliss]

I feel like the Thronebound lich is too powerful.
When you compare it to the master lich, it has
 + higher dominion
 + lower cost
 + lower path cost
 + bit higher precision
 + higher elemental resist
 + Invulnerability (and 30, higher than Virtue or the Vamp queen)
 + 5 gems per turn
 - Immobility
 - lower leadersheep
 - lower protection

So yeah, I know being immobile is a big downside, but 5 gems per turn from the begining of the game, combined to the low base cost and high dominion means that you get 78 bonus points if you brign your dominion power to 6 (and you should at least take that, with high dominion spreading nations around)...

[lijacote]

Five gems isn't that much, considering how useful a rainbow is in finding sites (which the throned lich is very, very bad at), if that's what you have them do. Rainbows in general are thought to be rather lackluster, and precisely because of their prohibitive cost in dominion and inefficiency in turn usage - not to say that the pretender isn't powerful - but this is veering into a balance discussion, and I don't want to force the issue. If the mod is refused, then it is refused. I'll try and find something as functional and flavorful, but it could prove difficult. The polypal queen is pretty sweet, but I'll have to think a moment on what I could do with her.

edit: ha HA! I have found my pretender.

[Biowraith]

Ok guys, all beginners/intermediate are welcome

Is there still room for another beginner, or is the game at capacity?

[tompliss]

Well, I think we can welcome another player or three

[HopFlash]

Will we have a "noob game" again?
Now that we all are way more experience than before
