As an aside, I'll probably end up making an TL LP out of this game if it's good. We'll see :D

And to the person with the magicless pretender: What will they do if they become God anyway? Can't call down lightning, can't heal faithful ones, no flooding the world to purge infidels... What do? Almighty God of Pamphlet Distribution?


He's just going to giggle and walk around in circles. If I had the extra 4+ hours I've committed now to the game I wouldn't have screwed up my pretender quite so bad.


I'm fine with a restart where we wait until everyone is actually ready. Playing a gimped game is lame (for the player as well as the players who aren't close to said player ) and there won't be anything actually lost.

Also, this is why you make sure that everything is completely in order before starting a game of Dom .





I only got in about 2 hours before the game started, and I did try to change it up before start but I was a bit slow.

Regardless, I'll play, but I expect to get annoyed pretty quickly. My SP game makes so much more sense.

Agartha not Abysia lel, stop sandbagging here

It's not like I'm afraid of Abysia as Caelum anyways. Lightning AND cold are my specialty. :s Much AN.

My predictions: Ulm will try and kill someone before year 2 is out, because it's MA Ulm. Whoever meets him first, GLHF with that.

I assume non-binding diplomacy? In that case, sure let's have NAP 24 hue

Copious amounts of gold per, and Ulm easily has the necessary magic counters to tramplers very early on.

I've read in a few places that Ulm is strong early and can take someone out early, but is that really true?
I'm pretty noob, so don't be surprised if instead i'm the one dying before year 2...

also can you guys give some pointers as to what you want to look for in a good location for a fort?

Well, my scout has already spotted you. So I hope not. You wouldn't want to risk it anyway (= NAP 24?

Yes. MA Ulm is just extremely effective with just pikemen spam and some Smith support early (with some of the other troops as backup). With the nations we have in the game, you can rush and kill every one of them if you play it correctly. I'm slightly more difficult because of tramplers, but really: just Bonds of Fire and stagger a trample line and then elephants die horribly. And each of them costs 12 of your 10g:23r units.

As for everyone else...anyone who relies on sacreds and can't produce them to the same degree as Mictlan (and Mictlan is also susceptible to a rush because I believe their cap is still a palisade) dies horribly to guardians.

Now once the midgame rolls about and we start getting magic rolling, MA Ulm probably loses unless you get a large lead, or have the right kind of pretender to execute a strat.

if you wanna build it based in resource efficiency, in the p40 of the manual there is a good description about the resource collection by forts.

bottle neck provinces and provinces where you can recruit indies with high ress cost, are good options too.

also castle increase the tax income, if your troops are gold expensive then farmlands and big provinces are a goods option too.

so it depends more about your needs than a rule of thumb

Atlantis took heavy beating taking their province, lost like 1/4th of their force
Lord Tolkien is OP as shit taking 2 provinces on t2 as Caelum thanks to mercs. The provinces he took have p low income though.
Atlantis conquered a province with t0 gem site.
Ulm has a rainbow pretender who's currently on site-searching duty
Abysia got only 1 candle this turn I think. Could it be their prophet assasin is messing around in enemy dominion already !?
And the struggle for ascension to godhood continues...

This is idd Ulm in a nutshell, you need to get an edge early on because it's one of the worst scaling nations in the game. Their troops are pretty sweet but as magic starts becoming more and more prevalent they tend to get countered pretty easily. Iron angels are the coolest units in the game though, so they have that :D

I'm trying to find guides to nations you guys read so I can predict some more :D There's only 1 really good MA Ulm guide AFAIK, so that one's easy. MA Abyssia has bunch of old ones all focusing on rushing Soul Contracts, which you're not doing; none of the female pretender chassis have any points in blood magic, so it would simply be inefficient, and as Lord Tolkien mentioned you probably went for some heavy bless (with low dominion score though ? probably to get some more scales). Looking up Agartha guides now, let's see what I can find :D
All Agartha guides seem really old and MA Agartha changed quite a bit very recently IIRC. dang

I don't think my Pretender titles give away anything lol. Lord of Order and Fountainhead of Order, I went with Order3, who woulda guessed lolol. King of Kings and Great Defender sound like pretty generic titles.
