Want to switch places? LOL

[tompliss]

I can see a black candle !
(on the other side of the ocean)

[AlStar]

Heck with a black candle - I've got eyes on an enemy citadel.

(And wish I didn't, to be honest.)

[Biowraith]

I saw Emperor Dwayne Dibbley last turn, replete with candles.

[RexMundi]

I spy a watery nation from my port..
In other news, is it ok to talk openly about things like random events/heroes?

[tompliss]

It is Ok to talk about anything you want.
For example, the fact that Il Palazzo (Kailasa) got a hero on turn 2 and made him his prophet. I still can't believe that. It may provide some nice starting boost ^^

[RexMundi]

ahh. well, i just got a hero, some big giant who is a great warrior/mage. but.. he eats 80 people a turn.. Also, abbysia is on my boarder, and they seem less defended there, but, war..? do i want to go agressive, when there is so much land to my west?

My inner bastard is really hoping you're just saying this to play mindgames with abyssia. If so kudos.

[Mindmaker]

If you really want war with a strong earlygame nation, then go ahead.
My sacreds can use the experience.

Although war is never a smart choice as long as neutrals exist.

agreed. Anyway, not trying to threaten, much 

I'm unleashing him on barbarians now to 'test him out' i guess, with a small detachment to aid

[tompliss]

Wars at the very begining usually are a bad idea :
There is approximately 20 provinces per nation.
If you spend soem ressoruces in a war, you'll face more opposition than agaisnt independents (so you'll be a bit slower), and you don't be able to siege and breach the enemy castle that early (if you manage to "win" the war). This means your enemy will defend his provinces, maybe attack you too, and take back some provinces.

Meanwhile, the other nations around you will still expand normally, and will even get some provinces that would have been yours if you didn't go to war.

Oh and you got the King of the City, that early ? That's a nice one. He's a little weird to play (the 80 popkill and the 8 unrest increase per month means you may not want him in your capital), but he seems really powerful. HopFlash (Pangaea in our game) had him in our last game, so you may want to ask him how he used him.
Little thing to note : He's good at expanding your dominion and nice at blood-hunting (getting blood slaves to sacrifice, while increasing unrest in a province). You may want him to lead your armies, and he's be useful at claming throens, too, as only him, your prophet, and your pretender will be able to do that. Also, if you make him your prophet (possible 6 months after your current one dies), he'll give you access to Holy4 spells, including a massive moral booster (fanatism), which is quite good for big battles. but either way, don't sacrifice your current prophet now just for that : having your prophet and him means you get 3 smiters, qhich are really good against independents.

PS (wow 4 posts during my writing) : Don't send him alone. He's a good army booster, but in no way is he as good as a dragon.

[RexMundi]

good i gave him some guys then, but.. i think i'll go change my orders real fast, heh.

[lijacote]

Sometimes wars are a good idea. Early on, people are very very vulnerable because of only having one fort - sieging that one fort will eliminate all gold income and a lot of important recruitment. If you manage to park something big and nasty (like a dragon or an army) on someone's fort early enough, they're dead. There's no coming back.

[HopFlash]

good i gave him some guys then, but.. i think i'll go change my orders real fast, heh.

yeah...the King of the City is great. Popkill and unrest doesn't matter so much because if he bloodhunts (he was not so good in it as my blood fountain but still good) he does these things neverless.
I gave him some bodyguards (colossi warriors) and placed him a little bit back at the side. Orders "Divine Blessing" ("Fire shield", "Flare"). So he was not the first attacker but came from the side to smash things
He can take relative much damage and if you have some more magic you can cast some nice things before attack. A little later with some artifacts he is really a monster in battles.
And he is a very great commander. Many squads (5) and morale bonus (+3). And he can lead 325 normal, 15 undead and 40 magic).
In my game his heroic ability was "Unequaled Obesity" (more size, strength and HP).
With his abilities I think he is a clear front warrior and you don't want to fight against him

As Berytos with only Priest 2 you should stay with a seperate prophet. This large map we play has a little different playstyle with thrones as 4.03 but it's a pain to have too few throne claimers :/
And not to forget he is great as blood sacrifier too.

"Fanatism" is nice but Berytos has usually no bit morale problem (exception elephants).

This was him at the end of our game. His weapon was loot from a fight...I had not time and resources to give him a better equipment. And horror mark and cursed was Marvenis work :/

I'm afraid the llamaserver is down today - something went wrong yesterday evening and I am away for the weekend. Hopefully I can fix it tonight.

looks like the server is down and don't get my 2h-file I send.
Perhaps we should think about an extension or how does it work?
