I would like to play Patala then.
|
I'm still in.
The map is too big tho
|
I'm in, not 100% sure on the nation yet though. Gotta see what map we'll really end up playing on first.

Recently picked this up and just sieged my first fortress when i ran out of space to expand, being boxed into a corner of the map. Ferried in elephants from a nearby province when the defenders were repairing faster than i was damaging it. Was able to storm soon after... and forgot about the elephants. So they charged in first, not even having any orders. Everyone's clumping up trying to get through the gate. Perfect time for the Elephants to rout and run over my entire army. Yep, i lost that one.
Game isn't very forgiving, but stuff like this also accelerates learning, i guess.
Is battlemagic viable? Using communions sounds like a fun RP-y way to play, but the sheer amount of spells and AI taking control makes me wonder if the supercharged mages would ever find the right things to cast. When i leave them be, my mages generally seem to act in a more supportive than bloodthirsty manner.
|
Battlemagic is more than viable, it's an absolute necessity. Communions are also good, especially for some nations. You have to always script as much as you can, relying on the AI is never a good idea.
There are several good guides on battlemagic, I'll try to find a link when I have time since I'm at work now.

Looks like we'll be 6 people for TLXIII. I'm looking to see if I can find a working link for a map that looks fun called 'Chalice of Ilmatar'. If I can't then 'Biddyn' will likely be my choice. If anyone has a different suggestion for a 6 player map with a couple caves and a lower side of water provs(8-12?) let us know.
|
There's also Realm of Rampaging Roaches and Streamlands.
Edit - I actually didn't check if those have any caves.
|
there was a new version of biddyn V2. Checking it still needs some tags, and non-start provinces
15 must be a waste province
|
I'm not having any luck tracking down Chalice of Ilmatar. We'll use Biddyn v2, and I'll see to editing it. If you or anyone else see any mistakes let me know.
|
Alright, edited version is put into the game on Llama. Submit your pretenders!
|
I'll be Jomon.
Btw you could fix the Llama page link in your message.
|
Damn, my sots2 group had been telling me to get into this game but I've never made the plunge.
It's there a way I could like spectate or follow your game?
|
|
Ah nice, I'll take a look. Don't suppose you know of any solid intros or tutorials?
|
There's a tutorial in the downloadable manual here.
Otherwise, there's two let's plays of Dominions 3 in the LP Archive, but keep in mind some game mechanics have changed somewhat compared to Dominions 4.
|
|
Sure you may join vschwarz. Are you familiar with how to play the game?
