The 2011 Dominions 3 Thread

I’m ready for Trunk to start!

Brooski · 2012-07-02T18:30:26.000Z

Gentlemen, we have a problem. I am in New York City all month, working on the ABC News medical desk. I have a laptop and wifi, but I don’t have one thing: Dominions. I somehow forgot to install it or take the CD when I left. I won’t be back until August 1st. I only see three choices:

(1) Put the game on hold for a month. Not an option.

(2) Get a replacement player to play Atlantis. I am fine with that if we can get someone.

(3) Some q23 denizen of New York who owns Dominions can meet me and lend me his/her CD to install it on my laptop.

My sincere apologies for this messup. In leaving for NYC it just completely slipped my mind. Today’s turn reminder, uh, reminded me.

I might be visiting NYC this Friday/Saturday, and could bring you my disk, but it’ll cost you a beer.

Whoa.

Nate:

Whoa.

What did you think he would be doing while you sparred with me?

Making Daisy Chains?

I honestly thought I’d kill you faster.

So did I.

Yeah. Some nations just seem easier to figure out than others.

Frankly, I’m frightened at how fast my test games are over.

Nate:

Whoa.

He has more than one…

…so, how’s your gameplan going now?

pyrhic · 2012-07-02T23:14:13.000Z

Woohoo! I’m dead!

Now that that’s out of the way, my gameplan from the start was to be the bastard that cast utterdark and threw pennies in the theatre that was the world.

Though it didn’t work out like I planned, I had a good time, and thought I gave a good fight against scribble. That all said, the one nation I didnt want to face early was Marignon - which had nothing to do with Scribble, but rather that I felt he had the biggest yang to my ying. My plan was to start off building up blindfighters, slowly morph into a death/blind thing, then shock and awe with utterdark. I think i threw scribble a bit of a curve when he hit the blindfighters - i think he was expecting undead, but the bf’s slow and quite methodical(man, i hate mapmove 1), and i couldn’t establish the base I needed to support the upcoming…um, apocalypse

Not saying it was my best plan…

GL all (and congrats Scribble ;)

You mean all I have to do is declare war on you and go AI?

As well as can be expected.

Done and done! Let me know, would be glad to buy you a beer regardless.

I asked scribble to add 1000 hours or so to the next turn so you don’t stale another one. Hopefully DP can get you what you need soon.

Scribble · 2012-07-04T00:29:47.000Z

I increased the timer for Hugin and will keep an eye on the situation. I missed the discussion upthread, which unfortunately caused Atlantis to stale the current turn. Hopefully wasn’t too painful.

I’ll let you know if I can come! I’m a little leery of visiting the city during a heat wave. Ugh.

Ditto. When will the game be up on llamaserver, dfs?

Next week. Planned start is for the 16th. I’m traveling and wasn’t sure if I would have/will have internet access.

I like for folks to have time to test drive their strategies. Certainly folks like Pythia with all kinds of toys to play with have to make choices.

Evil_Steve · 2012-07-04T16:11:23.000Z

i hate assassins, especially ones with really nice gear

that is all

tenuki · 2012-07-05T01:20:17.000Z

Re: Trunk, since we’re 8 players, do y’all still think 3 caps is a good victory condition? It might make for a Qt3anon-like experience.
