Dominions 3: Unofficial All-Purpose Megathread

Enidigm · 2007-04-27T13:44:28.000Z

Hey, remember the great SelfishGene comeback, from 2 commanders and a handful of trash, capital captured, and my God dead, to being (briefly) 3rd place!

About Shirley: I was mistaken before, it appears that Oceania and Ulm are the only human players left in the game at this point. Abysia is computer-controlled, and the other nations are human-controlled, bot none of them are taking their turns. Which leads me to ask those non-playing players to please switch to AI control so that Quaro and I can continue the game without unnecessary waiting times.

Quaro · 2007-04-27T14:36:13.000Z

FYI – I got a replacement in Dawn a little while ago. Mercutio took over Oceania for me.

Good idea, though little did you know that I took over from Quaro a few weeks back.

It certainly hasn’t been going as smoothly as i’d have hoped given the number of gems I inherited. Those Ulmian armies are tough!

Side effect of Banefire being Late Age and me rewriting the parser to use the new values. I’ll try to fix it tonight (busy busy).

Utgard is in fact, Jotunheim, across the ages. Fixed to reflect either designation.

So guys, sorry to raised the matter… a friend of mine helped me out with a modem im able to play again… and my wolves are awaiting yon demons. Come to the vanheim country its snuggly cold here and lets see how you like demons on the rocks.

Mike_O_Malley · 2007-04-27T15:50:28.000Z

Excellent! Let’s restart Lanka so we can crank out 10 turns this weekend.

Har har har two ulmish priests are sieging the kailasian capitol, imagine that:

2 priests AND A SCOUT. They are all very well trained at what they do.

Hey guys, has anybody heard any news on when should we expect a new patch?

(I know, I know - “when it will be done”. But that’s not the answer I am fishing for. :) )

gruntled · 2007-04-28T09:55:47.000Z

The beta testers have had the patch for maybe a week now - so I’d expect it pretty soon.

I see, thank you.

WOOOOO! Run away, Destroyer of Worlds! Your angst is no match for the might of DEVIL MONKEYS! What a magnificent battle! Hundreds dead on each side! Chaos everywhere! We in Lanka shall treasure it forever.

That was pretty impressive. Thanks to both of you for not killing my scout before the big battle.

Crap, now I wish I had a scout there too. :( It would be sweet to videorecord particularly massive battles to show off after the game is over.

Also, R’lyeh? Check your PMs.

Quaro · 2007-04-28T17:38:51.000Z

It would be cool if you could tag battles as memorable and the server would copy that turn to disk. Then when the game is done, the host computer generates a AAR file which is just a series of tagged battles that all the players can view with the dominions client.

Yeah, that would be fantastic. A highlights reel for the game.

Thien Chi: I have gone AI. The last turn is at least a month away. I have looked on my orb of atlantis, i do know that i had a plan with it but i couldnt remember what…

The game isnt fun anymore and im fed up with trying to reinvent my turns every time…

Marcin · 2007-04-29T07:24:28.000Z

Yeah, I’m not hosting / playing any non-timed games again. It just doesn’t work without that spur in the long run.

wahoo · 2007-04-29T08:24:50.000Z

Squidz should probably shut down. The 3 largest countries are all-AI now. Jotun was the forcing opposing Tien Chi. I don’t mind stopping it even thought I’ve enjoyed being a puny nation all game.
