I'm curious, if no combat had occurred in that province, if the water elemental would have been cleared away at turn end.  Or survived until the next combat and then been cleared away.  Dominions is a suprisingly tightly coded game so I expect all temporary forms to be cleared at turn end but its still pretty unexpected that it lasted that long.

It'd stick around until combat occurred. Dominions is tightly coded but part of that is expediency, so there's not a lot of extraneous checks of the thousands of units every turn. The tempdyingform (or whatever the command is) will only be processed at the end of a battle.

INTERESTING

Now I'm trying to think what benefit you could go out of your way to gain from that.

And failing.

[BFEL]

Admittedly I'm ALSO failing because really the only thing I can think of is the exact thing that just happened

But hey, that was awesome enough that I'm now REALLY fuckin glad for those dying forms.

OH GOD HES TAKING HIS TIME AGAIN. THAT MEANS MORE TACTICAL GENIUSERY

[EnigmaticHat]

Oh dear Pantokrator.  I just watched that thug attack on you, you got so lucky.

Edit: Its literally just procrastination because I'm going to have to give more detailed orders.  I was far more clever in the expansion phase than I have been for the past in-game year.  I mean you're going to get tactical geniusery, but that procrastination isn't why

Double Edit: If anyone wants to cause significant harm to two nations, I am capable of directly converting air gems into my enemy's tears.

This month we've found in Rizdos 'crystallised urine of a magical beast' as well as 'droppings of a magical beast'. Can other nations please keep their magical beasts on a leash, and clean after them like they're supposed to? Thanks.



In other news, we're looking for earth gems. Will trade air gems. Only serious offers. We're no longer looking for earth gems.

Ugh, this is just fucking depressing now.

Ugh, this is just fucking depressing now.

Abeig will make your sacred giant families feel the pain of all our fatherless wolf tribe children.

Not because the fathers are dead mind you.  But because they're trapped in Abeig.  Forever.

Come on Fairig - Challenge me! Fight, fight for the lands which I have stolen from you!

[EuchreJack]

Anyone interested in a laid-back multiplayer game?

With my schedule, I can reliably play one turn every three days (although if I'm the last player, I love double turns, unless I'm dicking around with diplomacy), which is too slow for more hardcore players.  Depending on when it started, I could probably do the first ten turns faster (the first three or four usually can be done in the same weekend, I've noticed from other multiplayer games).

OK now I'm REALLY curious as to what the hell that means.

[Frumple]

Saying they're going to arrow the big papa (commander) giants 'cause they've got all of abeig's male population trapped in the capital, presumably under siege.

[EnigmaticHat]

I was a... pun?...  on "never go home".

My guys are never going home cause they're dead, his are never going home because they don't have a commander to TELL them to go home.

[BFEL]

OH ok so the first part was referring to your guys and the "trapped in Abeig" part was referring to my guys.

I was confused and wondering why all your not-dead fathers were being forcibly held from their children

[Il Palazzo]

Bloody hell, the procrastinators multiply!
