Just picked this game up, am not very good at it
Come to #dominions on Gamesurge's network*, there's a lot of very scary (and sometimes annoying) veterans there, and sometimes they play quick games just to test something out or to spend some quality time. A good way to get into how other, more experienced people play the game, since the single player experience is rather limited.

Also check out the Other Games thread here on Dominions. There's also a lot of guides on Desura's Dominions 4 forums, and some videos by MarcusAurelius or MAurelius (not sure of the exact spelling) on YouTube that are pretty helpful if you're totally new. I guess they're entertaining as well.

It's lovely that the game is still attracting new players! Lovely indeed.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

So you're not even going to engage my army, but continue kiting them until they all desert?
You're a boring man.

You should ask your neighbours for money.

As much as I would like to, pitting my 14 enc guys at your 0 enc guys doesn't seem like a bright idea for some reason. Your fault really, should've gone with heat scales :P

Indeed. For those of you who didn't have scouts in the area, the Witch-King managed to kill almost half of Agartha's army by himself. Or 120 units out of 284. That's pretty damn insane.

AOE 6 that scales up with caster skill. Cast by a D9. A thing of beauty, if I say so myself.

But hey, at least your upkeep must've lightened up :P

Really an amazing fight of the Witch-King himself. Very impressive...but that means I have a war at my borders...alarming.

You can't imagine how smug the Witch-King is looking right now. He didn't get more than one star for the trouble, though.

Also, I will have trouble playing in the weekend. I might be able to send in turns, but there is no guarantee.

Alas, poor Agartha. Seems like you're carrion for the vultures. And looks like War Elephants are on the move again, interesting times, interesting indeed.

hmm...I'm not sure...but if my War Elephants are moving to Agartha's land they will be too late because Utgard and T'ien Ch'i will have split his land already.
I'm only securing my borders...not that their army think they can move straight through my land too.

Sorry Agartha. But we all know that the price of failure is death. Not invading would be a stupid idea. I need every scrap of land I can get my hands on if I want to survive. I'm sure that you understand.

Also, in a related note, T'ien Ch'i is in desperate need of Earth Gems. We've got plenty of Death, Astral and Water gems to give in return. Or our smiths can forge something for you instead. So shoot me a PM if you want to trade and we'll work something out.

And Ulm has gone AI. Can't blame him, he's fairly dead at this point. At least you managed to mostly maim my dragon before going out (or did you kill it? I should probably check my turn soon).

And I thought I need to say this :)

I'm curious who will make the next death step in this world constellation.

Eh, If I had put that money I spent on those 3 forts, that got torn down a turn before they were finished, into labs and a bigger standing army I might have stood a fighting chance.
It's just that most bay12 games seem to be pretty pacifist even for a short time after indies run out and I counted on that to fortify my position.
