Dominions 3: Unofficial All-Purpose Megathread

Rollory · 2007-04-10T08:30:14.000Z

By the way, rather than continuing to berserk over the fact that I think you did something stupid, am saying so, and have the in-game force to prove it, how about you fix your server again? It’s been down since yesterday afternoon.

Or you could just leave it as is.

Soapyfrog · 2007-04-10T08:40:53.000Z

My god… this is the stupidest Dom-related argument I have ever witnessed. Stupider even than the “you should never break agreements” flamefest.

Soapyfrog:

We are waiting on the right-click-end-turn bug resolution I beleive.

I think I have a fix for your bug. It explains why there isn’t any discussion about this on the official board.

Rollory:

Being careful around a much stronger neighbor rather than deliberately doing every single last thing that might annoy them is tantamount to conceding the game?

When the neighbor makes a “completely halt all expansion or else” ultimatum yes. It’s a competitive game, a fact that might be lost on you. I am never, in any dom3 game, going to seriously entertain such a notion and I can’t imagine any good player who would. If you want someone to stop expanding, just go attack them. It’s a simple enough point, I completely fail to see how it keeps going over your pointy little head.

Rollory:

At this point, if I decide I’m done with the game because I don’t want to deal with the host being a bitchy idiot, it’s over. AI Ulm means Stormbinder has no real opposition left. That’s not something I want to do to him, but you’re really trying hard to make it worth avoiding the aggravation.

I must admit I am deliberately doing my best to aggravate you at this point. Think of it as a “taste of your own medicine” treatment. Think about it next time before you start calling people names.

Rollory:

I’m the one having a temper tantrum?

Right.

I’m not the one who proclaimed the game over because my feelings were hurt. And I’m the host, so I could actually do it if I wanted.

Yeah, fair point. I’ll restrict my taunting of Rollory to PM’s in the future so nobody else has to watch me goad him.

I’m not sure what he is describing is what’s happening to me. All the menus are intact - I’m not getting any sort of blank screen, but the RMB just seems to quit back out to the main menu rather than select a province. And again, only in Bommerlunder (on both my computer at home and at work). Dawn, Hoplite and Old Timers are running fine. Well, I’m getting my ass kicked in Dawn, but that’s hardly an interface problem.

I filled out a customer support ticket to see if that helps, though.

Enidigm · 2007-04-10T09:53:31.000Z

Ill play but let me think about which nation for a bit. I’m tired of losing and am just going to pick the most overpowered thing i can think of…

Shall I put you down for Helheim with the F9/W9 bless then? ;-)

Mike_O_Malley · 2007-04-10T10:24:55.000Z

I’m in…I’ll pick a nation tonight when I’m not at work.

Soapyfrog · 2007-04-10T10:35:07.000Z

I’ll play… I’ll think of something interesting I haven’t played before…

wahoo · 2007-04-10T10:37:45.000Z

Lanka:

I’d like to join Nick, although I’m sure i’ll get wasted early. I’m still winding up the learning curve.

soapy: I sent you a PM about delaying apprentices for a few days starting Thursday.

I would like to join as the Niefels.

Matt_Perkins · 2007-04-10T10:53:17.000Z

I’m in…need to pick a nation when I’m at home.

Hetzer · 2007-04-10T12:08:32.000Z

Hey i would join as most other cames came to a crumbling halt… i dont know exactly what i should play i´ll tell later…

HEY, just whom do you call stupid, you no-good motherf!@#$ son of a b…!!!

<pause>

Ahhhm, I mean I would like to respectfully disagree with such description of the previous argument. =)

(Just to be 100% sure - this post was intended purely a joke, no offence Soapy)

Stormbinder · 2007-04-10T12:43:31.000Z

Server seems to be down ATM.

balut · 2007-04-10T12:43:31.000Z

I’ll join in on Lanka, random nation.

I feel bad after moving and transfering my games and never getting back in.

I will pass on Lanka. I think I am starting to feel a bit burned out on Dom3 - managing LE Death 3 R’lyeh was just too time consuming. Besides I have singed a new job contract as a software architect for Synaptics last week, so next 3-6 months are going to be busy.

But I realy hope Bommerlunder will get ressurected soon, that game was very interesting.

Any news from Illwinter on that bug Jonathan?

Mike_O_Malley · 2007-04-10T13:18:22.000Z

I’ll take Mictlan in Lanka, if you please.

We should try a Late Age game sometime.
