The mod doesn't seem to restrict my pretender selection.

Also, someone posted summaries of all the nations somewhere; but I couldn't find it. Anyone recall that?

I'm not sure pretenders can be removed from a nation. All new nations have access to the same default list, that's it. Not sure about UW nations.

I don't think anyone has posted a complete nation summary. There is some speculation about troops and commander choices from pages 11-14.

Random disasters are annoying.

Not if they happen to someone else

It's why Order costs points and Misfortune gives you points. Frankly, I don't think Misfortune 3 is worth it, the scale of the high end disasters is simply too big. I mean, uprisings of 100+ Barbarians set you back a lot of gold and gems.

Yeah, but they still happen even with Order and without Misfortune

But not as much, because that is what misfortune does.

100+ barbarians isn't even the worst thing about M3. I usually go no lower than M1, but I really like L1 for the gems and sometimes heroes. They're a huge boost, especially if you need them for diversity. They're a great way to get started spell-searching for the paths your casters have but your capsites don't produce gems in.

Huichan.

Carthacia is aware of your expansion. Carthacia only has an interest in protecting it's borders, irregardless of their current, independant status. Feel free to discuss borders, trade or other diplomacy.

Okay, 1 calamity in the capital when I have Order and no Misfortune is annoying. Getting the same one twice is just mean.

Amusingly, I suspect Sachs might have been the nation best-positioned to take these sorts of calamities. Our expansion plan is still going mostly as planned.

Winnah · Post by **Winnah** » Wed May 16, 2012 11:48 am

The impact of bad events seems to be magnified in early turns, especially as I am almost always in a resource deficit. They are still a pain, later in the game, but a lot more tolerable what they happen later, rather than sooner.

Shiritai · Post by **Shiritai** » Wed May 16, 2012 2:12 pm

Indeed. Losing 1/5 of your capital's population on turn 2 is a whole lot more painful than on turn 20.

Also, did Tador stale last turn? It looks like we're waiting on him for this turn too.

Username17 · Post by **Username17** » Wed May 16, 2012 2:23 pm

Yeah, Amblis Staled. No idea what that is about.

Did he also stale turn 1? I seem to remember we were waiting on him then as well.

Just the one.

No. He took Turn 2 and Turn 1. He staled Turn 3. During Turn 2 he captured a province and put a Star Spawn to researching. He's actually Research and Dominion leader, so even though a stale on turn 3 is a big deal, he's not out by any means.

Not looking good, do we restart without him if he stalls again?
(Tried to call him the whole day, not responding...)

I'm really, really anoyed with him.

I'm going to assume some sort of emergency and postpone hosting for 24 hours. If that doesn't do it... maybe get a sub?

Any luck contacting Amblis?

Tador · Post by **Tador** » Thu May 17, 2012 1:18 pm

Sorry for my Missing. it was Diablo who has kidnapped me.

Korwin · Post by **Korwin** » Fri May 18, 2012 9:27 am

We greet the mercenaries of Sachs.
We would like to keep our mutual border like it is at the moment.

Do you agree?

I'm not at my gaming computer at the moment. I'll respond as soon as I get a look at the turn.
