Asphodel popkill is peanuts compared even to R'lyeh's though.

Huh. Is it? I've always assumed that they were at the same rate or something.

Expect to get swarmed as Asphodel if you play them. They have the eternally hated popkill/freespawn dominion, like LA R'lyeh, MA Ermor and LA Selecwhatever. Just making sure you know what you're getting into...

Eh, I'll risk it - what the heck, why not? Fear my hordes! Pretender submitted.

Edit: I think I read it's 1% per candle in my domain. Don't know how that stacks up to the other domkills.

I screwed that up. Both Asphodel and LA R'lyeh kill at like .5%/candle/turn, but Ashen Empire's popkill is like 10x that. You're encouraged to get growth scales with Asphodel too, so with a weak dominion they can remain fairly stable.

Except the maximum amount of growth you can have is 0.6% a turn. So anything above 1 candle starts to whittle away your population. Not as much as Ermor obviously, but it's still not going to earn you any friends.

Eh, the ''guy with the popkill dominion is your worst neighbor" is kind of a tired meme, but I don't really feel like rehashing that argument.

Are there supposed to be caves on this map now? I can't find any? I think this game might have been hosted on the old map.

My starting position is incredibly shitty comapred to pre-restart. I'm bordering a grassland province, a throne and 2 sea provinces... Production from my capital is going to be hampered.

EDIT: nevermind. I found the cave.

I just managed to get my army killed and my prophet wounded on the first province I attacked.

Well, so far I am doing fine, which probably means something horrible will be happening soon.
