Thanks guys, that's very helpful. I hadn't thought about using communions to hit the high-level buffs, and I like the idea of fog warrior legionaries.

A long time ago I played some games of Dom3 here, and, to be blunt, I was utterly shit at it. Now I have Dom4, and I am making efforts to be less aggressively terrible. So. I've been playing MA Pythium, and they seem to be set up for communions. I get the basic idea of communions - spread the fatigu...

Apologies, I've been on an emergency business trip that overran. I didn't ask for extensions or anything because I'm pretty much out of the game, but I didn't think about the hosting delay problem.

If there's some way for Fomoria to go AI, that would be absolutely fine with me.

The idea of laws being struck down as unconstitutional is really a very American thing. Lots of other countries don't even have constitutions. In the UK, laws are literally just built one on top of another all the way down to the old Kingly decrees. I think that a few of the provisions of the Magna...

Hilarious diplomacy drama bullshit aside, I have to give Pangaea props for very nearly defeating Caelum and myself at the same time. I've learned a valuable lesson RE: screwing up sacred giant rushes.

You'll forgive me, but I actually haven't found Fomoria yet, so I don't know that it is possible for us to negotiate in good faith at present.

Well, the UK is having such a shitty economy that there are literally riots in the streets and Scotland is threatening to leave the Union . Scotland has always been threatening to leave the Union. It's the general nature of the Scot. And riots in the streets (of England) have been happening for a w...

But Pareto-efficiency is still explicitly anti-redistribution.

Strictly legal definitions of rape are notoriously problematic. That really doesn't have any bearing on whether it's ok to penetrate young women with instruments whenever they make a reproductive choice you don't like.

Thank you, Tzor.

I enjoy criticising Obama as much as the next lefty, but once in a while it's nice to be reminded of the good things he's done, too.

Well, C'tis, that was unfortunate. Diplomacy? Certainly. I am fairly content with my existing borders.

Having realised that I will probably never, ever build a Machakan Hoplite, I'm kicking myself for not taking Sloth.

Also, Machaka has Air and Nature gems to trade, and is looking for Death and Earth.

I've heard that Jon Chung is working on the rules, and he generally seems to have a grip on mechanical issues. Ultimately, though, the Exalted system is just a fucking mess; short of a massive re-write by someone other than White Wolf, any improvements will be minor at best.

EA Agartha are total, total shit. Try to use as few of your national troops as possible and field independents instead. Consider using Ancient Lords as thugs, with whatever gear you can get for them in the demo. Fire Brands come in at Con4, and are excellent thug weapons. Ditto for Charcoal Shields....
