 + Show Spoiler + (i'm probably going to shoot myself in the foot and take Mictlan, i don't really like any other LA nation except maybe pythium and atlantis that's taken) the game version is vanilla with worthy heroes mod, uh? (which only buffs up heroes and adds others, right?) | ||

Pretender creation: Once all pretenders are in and everything is clear, we will start. I would appreciate it, if this can be done during the coming days aka today/tomorrow, so we can start tomorrow evening. Turn interval: As mentioned earlier, I want 26h/turn + quickhost. This means, once the turn is done, everyone has 26h to submit their turn, but if everyone has submitted their turn, the turn will be hosted before the deadline is over. It is important to note, that while the turn is not hosted yet, you can change your turn anytime by resending a changed 2h-file. But once the last guy has submitted his turn, the turn is calculated immediatetly! If someone is asking for a turn extension at some point, (and this does not happen every turn ^^) there is certainly no problem in extending a turn. Mods: Yes, we only use Vanilla+Worthy heroes, nothing else. For pretender creation worthy heroes doesn't matter, actually, but in any case, just use it for it aswell. | ||

On another note, F9 blessed archers, where have you been all my life? It's probably suboptimal as hell, but it feels nice routing indies in 2 kavi archer volleys as Caelum. Normally, I would lose half my troops or a mammoth, which amounts to the same thing. It also makes for one badass move 3 flying hitsquad with a bit of infantry on the side. I'm pretty sure from my limited knowledge that flaming weapons only applied to melee weapons in dominions 3, no? | ||

The dominions inspector has helped a lot, though. What I'd like to see though is a comprehensive list of each nation's gimmick. The ingame descriptions can only say so much and there's no real list of which nations have non-cap bless troops, which ones *don't* have only goddamn old age mages worth hiring or even how scale- and fort-dependent each nation is. I may have missed it also but there's no breakdown of research efficiency per nation either. This game is equal parts overwhelming and fascinating. I've been mostly playing EA Caelum for now. Lightning spam! https://www.youtube.com/user/Maerlande2/videos posted before but who cares  , this guy is a serious Dom vet, also his vids have relaxing background sounds  | ||

I've seen a fair share of dominions 3 material but a lot of early game tactics like overtaxing your capital are gone in dom 4, and not all the nations are covered by the new guides.

I'm just a bit scared of having to go AI randomly due to work, travel or the like. How long do these games typically last? | ||

Anyway, if there eventually comes some serious unforeseen obstacle and you won't be able to play anymore at all or at least not for many days, it's probably possible to find someone to replace you. Are you very busy with work and travels? | ||

I've never dabbled with LA Caelum (bleagh, their top mage has old age  ), but I'll try and make do. Unless I have to replace Pangaea, in which case I'll have to do a crash course on nature nations during my first turns. I'm looking at the instructions for the mod / map / llama server. | ||
