The Luha Intelligence Agency has decided to publish its turn 8 World Factbook

[Il Palazzo]

Those Hoburg lands are at best half the size they really are!

[E. Albright]

Yes, but they're full of hoburgs, so it balances out.

You calling us short, mate?

[E. Albright]

As one of the two big-boned nations on the map, I find the term "bite-sized" to be less confusing.

[Il Palazzo]

Well, yo mamma is a Fomorian giant.

[AlStar]

Hmm, looking like I should've picked two "strong army" picks - although my lizards did pretty much as well as expected against indies, they are not fairing well against other NationGen troops at all.

I'm also learning that I have no idea what to do with a blood-heavy nation with no real combat magic.

[Karlito]

Summon oodles of demons on turn 40. Before that, it's usually kind of rough.

[Il Palazzo]

I've grown to dislike the competitive aspect of Dominions. All I want to do these days is look for sites and build forts.

[E. Albright]

There is a certain appeal to that. I'm sure your people would while away their time farming if they could, not building doomsday devices.



Incidentally, Djedhur is looking to modestly increase their sapphire stockpiles. Serious inquiries from interested parties welcome...

[Il Palazzo]

What is that?? Is that a giant in power armour?

[E. Albright]

That's, ah, the next generation of hoburg technology. Tall as an Avvite or a minotaur; s'truth! A clockwork oversized geardriven reinforced exoskeleton, if you will. For size comparison:



(On a more technical level, it's a siege golem reduced to either 40 or 50% size - can't remember which even though that was all of a day or two ago, with the metal subtly recolored to be more clockworky, gears/springs/what-have-you added to the joints, and the head hollowed out so a hoburg could look out of it. I still need to work out weapons for it, but I'm pretty sure it can just use Avvim and/or colossi/burning one graphics.)

[Il Palazzo]

Dude, if you're going to put a 5hp hoburg in there, it's going to be as useless as any other power armour I've got.

[E. Albright]

I'm thinking more in the 15-20 range, with pierce and slash resistance. By the time you get to size 3 it's more a vehicle and less armor, so the additional hp are justified even if it's still a hoburg in a steel can.

I actually had moderate luck using (admittedly only some variants of) the size-2 clockwork armor against the AI; the little ones do pretty much always die like flies, though.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Can I get a 24 hour extension on the game? I've got work and not enough time to figure out what I want to do on my turn. Sorry about that.
