So we have a King of this World (Ayar Uchu, pretender of Nazca), as well as a King of Kings (Tmoros, pretender of Pythium).  I of course have the real power, as the Director of the World.

Wow this is crazy, I played 2 games on this map against AI just to test it out, got the same start, and again this same one in this MP game 

The starts are locked, and each nation has preferences. There's only a couple starts of each type, so you're very likely to always start in the same place on this map.

I see, that definitely seems more likely than a 1/81 chance

Aaaand plane landed a bit ago. I also went ahead and submitted a turn, but keep in mind we're in a frenzy over here still as we get settled in. Good luck to everyone involved.

ThtblovesDF: this seems like an oops

[ThtblovesDF]

Wups!

(One last spam email and its fixed. 12 Hours now - Thank you)

Releated: If I am ever the last one that didn't do a turn, I would welcome it if people pm me, I appriciate the reminder and feel bad when I stop the game flow.


As for the turn.... I lost my prophet and my mercs and gained no territory. I had the great luck to not have 1, but 3 durids spamming panic at me... The mercs attacked 30 bear warriors and lost to them, I don't understand how that even happens... might be the worst start to a multiplayer game I had so far.

Bear Warriors are worse or equal in every stat, except they got a extra point of strenght. What gods have I offended?

...This is yet another turn I forgot all about hiring mercenaries, but in my defense, I'd rather get a good expansion party up as soon as I can and a good research base. Looks like Tien got their hands on some mercs though, so we can expect to see them expand a bit this turn between their... I have no idea if their armies are merely adequate or actually good. They can definitely hold their own against indie provinces.

(also psst, the OP still asks players to submit pretenders, and poor frank is missing a hotlink to PM)

[ThtblovesDF]

So how is everyones expansion going, besides obviously being better then mine (then again, those mercs are helping a lot).

I'm not sure, but I might actually have gotten my first war decleration already.

[chaoticag]

Congrats. You prolly are at your strongest now, unless against a bless nation. Expansion is kinda going, not too well, not too badly. Also a province of mine got hit with back to back +30 unrest events! Yay!

He's had the (mis)fortune of starting in the other forest start. So... yeah. This should be fun. ._.

Mines going wonderfully! Especially after Pythium donated fresh conscripts for one of my groups!

Although those conscripts are rather pale and skinny... And they smell bad... And with how motivated they are to my cause I question how they were treated before they entered my care...

[chaoticag]

Well, this is the fastest time to war I've seen in a dominions game. And it gets followed up with a skirmish apparently. You guys are really raring to go at it it looks like. So how is being not agartha for once Jilla?

[Frank2368]

I have a very claustrophobic start, it seems quite difficult to expand from here.

[ThtblovesDF]

We don't have to fight Sean, you didn't even capture the territorys bordering your capital and went straight towards me, so thats not suggesting good things.


Province connections are affected by heat/cold scales, i.e. a river can be crossed in cold scales, a mountain range can be crossed in heat scales (on both sides).

I went towards the center because I need to get a better army to start splitting attention - I don't want to lose too many troops to indies. So I'm going after what seems easiest. (good luck with the bloodhenge druids)
Don't expect me to respect national boundaries with you though. Seriously, my pretender is statue of War, that kind of dictates a certain behavior.

Nations not infringing on my local forests should be fine, though. ^_^

Also, we seem to be playing the v2 variant of the map after all. The connection between two provinces directly south of us are wrong. Blue link where there's a bridge.

Yeah. It'd suit someone with amphibious troops better.

From where I am it looks like you may be able to expand north still. And possibly west somewhat.

I guess the wrong version was selected on llamaserver. I don't think there's any way to change it now without restarting, which probably isn't worth doing.
